how to determine current authentication?

Anyone have a code snippet that returns a string of the current NT Domain where the user authenticated? I know there's a utility in the NT/Win2K Resource Kit that returns something like:
MYDOMAIN\myuser
in the output...but I'm not sure where they're getting that info from (where "MYDOMAIN" is the name of the domain the user logged-in to, and "myuser" is the username that they used).

Also, if anyone knows how this translates when moving to AD, I'd appreciate any info.

Thanks in advance!

That's the easy part. Now how do you determine where the user authenticated? (i.e. local host, NT Domain, etc.)

I need the "context" of the user's authentication.

Thanks for the reply...good quote...

PS: I see a "GetUserNameEx" for Win2K and later...it would do what I need (I think), but I need some kind of compat. with NT4 and probably Win98 as well.

Assuming you've set focus to the edit control (by calling SetFocus()), you should be able to select an empty portion of the text (starting at the location of interest) using SetSel(). So, to position the cursor at the 3rd char, try:

CEdit* pEdit = (CEdit *) GetDlgItem (IDC_EDIT);
ASSERT (pEdit != NULL);
pEdit->SetFocus();
pEdit->SetSel (2, 2, TRUE);

Best way to prevent frame resizing?

Alright in my MDI ap I have CFormViews. I know how to set the child frame initialy to fit the form. What I would like to do is keep it that way.

So what would be the easiest way to prevent the child frame that wraps the form from being resizeable by the user?

I have seen some solutions that invlove removing the client edge but I want it to stay looking the way it does (like a regular window).

Thx,
Richard

You can override the function for WM_NCHITTEST. Call the default implementation and then if it returns one of the borders, then return HTBORDER.

You can have it the other way around (resize the parent to fit the child view) with CScrollView::ResizeParentToFit. As for having your frame window unresizable, add this PreCreateWindow handler:

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
  cs.style&=~WS_SIZEBOX&~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX;
  return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

Spin Control

How to make spin control work with double or float data types?

Re: Spin Control

Roger Allen5-Mar-02 1:49

This is fairly easy to do. Do the following steps:

1: Set the range of value: If you want a step of 0.1 and a min equal to 0.0 and a max equal to 10.0, the range of value of your spin control must be 0-100 (100 = 10/0.1)

2: Add a message handler for WM_VSCROLL

void CDialog::OnVScroll ( UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar* pScrollBar)
{
	if (nSBCode == SB_ENDSCROLL)
		return ;

	if (pScrollBar->GetDlgCtrlID() === IDC_SPIN) // your spin ID here
		{
		CString strValue ;
		strValue.Format("%3.1f", (double)(nPos / 10.0)) ;
		((CSpinButtonCtrl*)pScrollBar)->GetBuddy()->SetWindowText(strValue) ;
		}
}

a non understandable debug error!

In my application i have a debug error message that occurs when i want to delete a pointer.

in the code:

int *pTabBinPort=new int[m_dlgAsset];
.
.
.
.
delete []pTabBinPort;

i do that at the end of a function, and when i do debug test when it arrives to this point a message error box arrives and i could read this message:

Debug error!

Program : D:\CalcRiskPort\Debug\CalcRiskPort.exe
DAMAGE : before Normal block(#74) at 0x00301E20

So, is anybody could explain to me what is the problem?

Thanks in advance for your answers

The error means memory got corrupted for some reason. First thing I'd check is whether you're not running out of bounds when writing to pTabBinPort.

i don't know if it could help you but i post the entire code of my function:

void CCalcRiskPortDlg::OnCalcvar()

//LoadTables Table;
//LoadTables Table2(m_dlgSector);
double *pTabVar=new double[pow(2,m_dlgAsset)];

int k,i;

for(i=1;i<=pow(2,m_dlgAsset);i++)

while(*(pTabBinPort+k)==1)
{

Table.ConvertBinToNum(k,pTabBinPort,pTabNumPort);
k--;
}

Table.ConvertBinToNum(k,pTabBinPort,pTabNumPort);

*(pTabVar+i)=Table.CalcVar(pTabNumPort,m_dlgAsset);
}
pConnection->Close();
}
catch(_com_error &e)

}
m_dlgValue=pTabVar[2];
strValue.Format("%.9f",m_dlgValue);

It's hard to say... This is a little suspicious:

for(i=1;i<=pow(2,m_dlgAsset);i++)
{
...
*(pTabVar+i)=Table.CalcVar(pTabNumPort,m_dlgAsset);
}

i runs between 1 and 2^m_dlgAsset, and then you use it as an index to <cpde>pTabVar. I think you should change the last sentence to

*(pTabVar+i-1)=...;

This looks suspicious as well:

while(*(pTabBinPort+k)==1)
{
    *(pTabBinPort+k)=0;
    Table.ConvertBinToNum(k,pTabBinPort,pTabNumPort);
    k--;
}

Could there be any chance that k is <0 and you step out of bounds?

Putting an assert on k after decrement or (better yet?) VERIFY(--k >= 0) should help detect this problem in debug mode.

i've just read your post and i think that it's exactly the problem, because, when i arrive to pTabBinPort[0], i decrement again k so that it will be equal to -1. So, i will test it to see if it works;

thanks a lot

another debug error!

Gérald Mercet5-Mar-02 4:52

5-Mar-02 4:52

in fact in my code i change 2 things:

for(i=1;i<=pow(2,m_dlgAsset)-1;i++)
{
k=m_dlgAsset-1;

while(*(pTabBinPort+k)==1)
{
*(pTabBinPort+k)=0;
Table.ConvertBinToNum(k,pTabBinPort,pTabNumPort);
if(k!=0)
k--;
}
*(pTabBinPort+k)=1;
Table.ConvertBinToNum(k,pTabBinPort,pTabNumPort);

*(pTabVar+i)=Table.CalcVar(pTabNumPort,m_dlgAsset);
}

you could see in the for statement that i going from 1 to pow(2,m_dlgAsset)-1 now and i've put a test in the while loop just for the case of k=0, so that we couldn't be in the situation of k=-1.

But now i have another problem, when i test my application with m_dlgSector=30 and m_dlgAsset=15, at the end of the function i have another message error which says:

Unhandled exception in CalcRiskport.exe (MFC42.DLL):0xC0000005:Access Violation. It's happened at this line:
strValue.Format("%.5f",m_dlgValue);

You could see the whole code in the precedent post.

You are not changing pTabBinPort anywhere are you? If you want to do some pointer arithmetic do it on a tmp pointer variable.

Or it could be that you are overflowing the allocated memory

Clear BREAK queu signal on serial port

dejan.n4-Mar-02 22:57

4-Mar-02 22:57

I have a problem when I start to monitor the serial port for a BREAK signal.

It seems that a situation occur when there are BREAK signals on "the queue". That is that if I trigger a BREAK signal just before I monitor the UART port this BREAK signal can triggers the program when I start to monitor the UART.

There must be a way to clear the BREAK signal queue before I start to monitor the UART... How do I do that??

There is somethin called PURGE UART but this seem only to clear the TX and RX line, not the BREAK signal line.

Please help!!
