How to receive a dead character message?

Hi,

I am trying to catch a message when a dead character is pressed:

I created a single document project and tried the following:

1. Add ON_WM_DEADCHAR() and a corresponding OnDeadChar() method
2. Implemented WindowProc() and search for WM_DEADCHAR message.

To make sure that keyboard message are catched, I catch WM_KEYDOWN as well and it is works fine.

Does someone have a clue how to get a message when a dead key is pressed?

Thanks, Udi Raz

What's the best way to write a certain number of empty bytes to a file?

Sean Wcisel24-Feb-07 21:23

24-Feb-07 21:23

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to write some code that reads two bytes from a location in a file, and checks to see if those bytes are empty before writing something to that space. My problem is that the bytes being read seem to contain a lot of junk from somewhere else. I'd like to write nothingness to bytes (itemsize * itemnumber) + (itemsize * itemnumber) ... etc. This seems like a relatively easy fix, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Sean

I write a program to split a big file(several GBs) to very small files.
It takes hours for one run. I got "Insufficient System Reource" or "abnormal program termination" error when the program is close to end(when the splitting is close to finish), on Windows XP. all running programs on my system seem in unstable state, i cannot send mail("out of memory"), or access local network resouce, but the task manager doesn't show any number that is anormaly high. the only thing i can do is to reboot.

Good day ppl,

I need to set a checkbox(IDC_CHECK_1A) to be checked when the form is first loaded.

At OnInitDialog(); ,
how to go about in implementing this with a member variable and SetCheck();?

Need help urgently. Thanks!

Without a control member variable you could do it like this:

SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_CHECK_1A, BM_SETCHECK, BST_CHECKED);

To add a control you can right click on the control in the resource editor and coose Add Variable.
Add a control variable, type CButton, and give it a name. The variable will be added to the class
associated with the dialog resource.

Once you have a control (e.g. CButton m_Checkbox1A):

m_Checkbox1A.SetCheck(BST_CHECKED);

pr quadtree [modified]

Hi. I'm trying to write a pr quadtree. My code might be ugly, so bear with me. The problem I'm having is that I'm trying to reinsert a node into the tree so that it will become part of the next subtree.
for example
()
/ / \ \
(A) () () ()
/ / \ \
() () () ()
and when I insert B which falls in the region of A, the tree becomes. A falls under the region where B is.
()
/ / \ \
() () () ()
/ / \ \
(B)()(A)()
it can even be, as the leaves only matter
()
/ / \ \
(A) () () ()
/ / \ \
(B)()(A)()
where points B and A fall in their respective region. I can't find a way to insert A back into the tree without falling into infinite recursion. I'm thinking I just need a case where it won't keep looping. any help would be appreciative, thanks. sorry about the length.

edit: my code is modified from below. its similiar but its correct now. but the problem I described is still the same. Again, any help would be appreciative.

Re: convert first spot in char array to num?

Waldermort24-Feb-07 15:05

the atoi() function converts a string to a int, if you want to convert a single character you must fist create a string.

char single[2] = {0,0};<br />
single[0] = string[0];

Also here:
atoi(string[0]);
you are passing a single character, but the function expects a pointer to a character.
atoi(&string[0]);

Also note, the function will read all the characters until it finds one that is not a number or it finds the null. You need to use the method above to extract the character first.

im confused where the STRING comes into play, isnt my original char string enough? this code is just a representation of what im working on. any way you can modify what i posted originally and show me what to put where, im just not following.

In your post you said you wanted to convert the first character of your string into a number, but the atoi function does not take a single character, it takes a string ( a row of characters ending with a null ). If you want to convert only a single character, you must first take it out of your string, then make a new string. Then you can convert it using atoi.

In your code you tried passing a single character to atoi and not a string.

hello everybody in this forum.
i just have one problem.

i want to create a dll file in C++ that i can import using (System.Runtime.InteroServices) in C#
when i create a function with this declaration signature i successfully can call it from C# environment(managed)

<br />
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void DisplayMessage()<br />
{ <br />
    std::cout << "hello World from unmanaged environment";<br />
}<br />

i compiled the dll in C++ it is called mydll.dll

in C# ;

<br />
using System.Runtime.InteroServices;<br />
<br />
<br />
//in the class declaration<br />
public class MainClass<br />
{<br />
     [DLLImport("mydll.dll")] // in the same directory of the current application<br />
public static extern void DisplayMessage();<br />
<br />
static void Main()<br />
{<br />
   DisplayMessage(); // the message string written to the console window successfully.<br />
}<br />
}<br />

but when i create in that dll a class in c++ called GradeBook and i create it inside the DisplayMessage
for example.

<br />
class GradeBook<br />
{<br />
void DisplayMessage()<br />
{<br />
   std::cout <<"hello world from unmanaged resources";<br />
}<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
//and inside that dll export functions that will be called from C#<br />
<br />
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void ExternalMessage()<br />
{<br />
   GradeBook currentGrade;<br />
    currentGrade.DisplayMessage();<br />
}<br />

and in C#;

<br />
using System.RunTime.InteroServices;<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
//dll importing attribute<br />
[DllImport("mydll.dll")]<br />
public static extern void ExternalMessage();<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
//and in the main method<br />
static void Main(string[] args)<br />
{<br />
    ExternalMessage();<br />
}<br />

Getting last inserted row's autonumber in ADO?

MasterShin24-Feb-07 7:25

24-Feb-07 7:25

Hi,

After connecting with a _ConnectionPtr and opening a _RecordsetPtr with an Insert command, how do I get the autonumber column from the inserted row?

I understood that I could do it if I used AddNew instead of an insert command, but that's a problem of circumstance. Mainly relating to the fact I couldn't understand how to easily use this function.

(I'm actually trying to wrap ADO to work from a computer game's scripting, and all variables are strings in there, but clearly in the database some may not, so wrapping AddNew seems hard to me)

Any help would be appreciated!
