Re: how do i typecast a CString to TCHAR type?

TCHAR is a char in ANSI/MBCS but wchar_t for Unicode. You are probably compiling for a Unicode build. The following would work fine in either configuration (that's what TCHAR macros are for):

// Use TCHAR, LPCTSTR and _tcsncpy instead
// of char/wchar_t, LPCSTR/LPWSTR and strncpy/wcsncpy
// so that the same code compiles both for
// MBCS and Unicode
 
TCHAR cFilePath[_MAX_PATH];
 
// Use _tcsncpy to make sure you don't write past
// the end of the buffer
_tcsncpy(cFilePath, (LPCTSTR) RawFile.GetPathName(), _MAX_PATH);
 
// Then make sure the buffer gets NULL terminated
cFilePath[_MAX_PATH-1] = _T('\0');

This way is only for a const TCHAR*. That is, this address can only be read. It's not safe to write.

This is the standard way to get the address of the buffer. You should pass a max length for the buffer in GetBuffer(), and then the pointer can be written.

If you mean LPCTSTR or const TCHAR* (i.e., a pointer to a read-only string of TCHARs):

CString sText = _T("This is a test");
LPCTSTR p = sText;

If you mean LPTSTR or TCHAR* (i.e., a pointer to a string of TCHARs that you are allowed to modify):

CString sText = _T("This is a test");
LPTSTR p = sText.GetBuffer();
_tcscpy(p, _T("end of test");
sText.ReleaseBuffer(-1);

how to clear browse info

I use VS6. As I type in an object variable, VS6 provides me with a list of member variables and functions for autocompletion. But this list is outdated and doesnt take into account any new items added to the class. Is there any way to fix this?

i'm using the following code in my SDI application:

void CMyView::OnDraw(CDC* /*pDC*/)
{
	CMyDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
	ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
	if (!pDoc)
		return;

	// TODO: add draw code for native data here
	Graphics    graphics(m_hWnd);
	SolidBrush  brush(Color(255, 0, 0, 0));
	FontFamily  fontFamily(L"Times New Roman");
	Font        font(&fontFamily, 20, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel);
	RectF		rectF(0.0f, 5.0f, 140.0f, 40.0f);
	StringFormat stringFormat;

	stringFormat.SetAlignment(StringAlignmentCenter);
	graphics.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeAntiAlias);
	
	graphics.DrawString(L"Text", -1, &font, rectF, &stringFormat, &brush);
}

but when i run the application, the following message is displayed and application does not contiues furter:

Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea in Dxf.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000010.

the above code works fine for dialog classes. what might possibly be wrong?

Well..if you say so...

I was wrongly calling GdiplusShutdown(m_gdiplusToken) here:

BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
...

// The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update it
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
	// call DragAcceptFiles only if there's a suffix
	//  In an SDI app, this should occur after ProcessShellCommand
	GdiplusShutdown(m_gdiplusToken);

	return TRUE;
}

instead of here:

int CMyApp::ExitInstance()
{
	// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
	GdiplusShutdown(m_gdiplusToken);

	return CWinApp::ExitInstance();
}

Good day,

Im posting this up here bec. there is not much interaction on Embedded/Mobile section but here on Visual C++ a lot of good people come.

Anyway,I'm using Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 on my development. I'am given so LITTLE TIME to do my task, so I'm planning to bring my task at home. Unfurtunately my pc at home is stand-along(doesnt have network -thou I have network card but can't afford yet to have an internet con.). I wanted to run the emulator(Pocket PC 2002) at home but the protocol used is TCP/IP. My Emulator cant connect to the Platform manager do I cant transfer files and debug my program. I've search here in the office on how to connect emulator with active sync (see site below).
.(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/devguidesp/html/sp_intro_to_the_ce_emulator_zjht.asp)
However, I dont have that null modem cable nor serial cable at home. Can anybody help me how I could communicate my emulator with EVC3.0? Cry | :((

Any suggestion would be a great Help.

Thanks

I have no experience in Mobile programming, but if you need network connection you can install Microsoft Loopback driver.
it work like a NIC.

I have tried to install MS Loopback and yes I do have network connection, however, when I ran the emulator, EVC3 emulator platform manager could not connect.
Anyway thanks Iman, I've learn something.

have a nice day.

Simplifying debug traces in the Output window

Hi,

I know it's bad practice to disable warnings but I'm fighting my way through lines and lines of irrelevant information in the Output window to find my TRACE output.

Is it possible to temporarily switch off DLL loading messages such as:
'XYZ.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\abcdefg.dll', No symbols loaded.

Thanks,

Simon

ActiveX and NM_CUSTOMDRAW

levaey3-Oct-05 12:50

I have an ATL Composite Control (DLL) that that includes my own control (CMySlider) derived from CSliderCtrl.

Here is the message map of this control.
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMySlider, CSliderCtrl)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CPlayerSlider)
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, OnCustomdraw)
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

When Composite Control is embedded in the Dialog or FormView, CMyControl receives notification, OnCustomdraw gets called and everything draws/works perfectly.

The problem is that when the Composite Control is embedded in HTML page, I’m not receiving notification at all and instead of custom slider I’m getting the standard windows control.
Does anybody know what should I do to make it work on the web page?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lev

Convert unsigned 16 bit Word

simonpearson3-Oct-05 12:50

3-Oct-05 12:50

Hello all,

This is my first post to this forum, so apologies in advance for the lack of clarity.

Im trying to assign an unsigned 16 bit word to a char array i.e. two 8 bit single bytes.

my value (u16 sum) contains the word value 24fa which I need to insert into the middle of a char array buff[100]. Obviously, I am concious of the fact that the array is of type char (8 bit), thus any allocation will shorten the original value e.g. buff[0] = sum //buff[0] only contains 0x24

Is there any way to change the word value to two 8 bit singular bytes for storage?

Or is there another way via strcat/memcpy etc..etc

Many thanks in advance.

Stu

BYTE b1 = value & 0xff;
BYTE b2 = (value >> 8);

or

WORD *pw = &value;
BYTE *pb = (BYTE *)pw;
// now, pb[0] is the first byte of your WORD and pb[1] is the second

etc..
