ASCII Code Frank Deo4-Jun-02 12:18 Frank Deo 4-Jun-02 12:18  Hello People, Is there an equivelant function in C++ (or c) to the Visual Basic Function "Asc". For example, converting a given character to its ASCII code? In VB: integer = Asc("A") Thanks, Frank Re: ASCII Code redeemer4-Jun-02 12:47 redeemer 4-Jun-02 12:47  int hello = (char)'a'; In C++ you can do mathematical operations on chars, you can say char b = 123 or char b = 'a' .

Frank VC project common folder 4-Jun-02 11:47 4-Jun-02 11:47  Just curious...what kind of projects have a "common" folder? if you want to include some static libraries with your project, how do you include them? I amlooking at my project and I don't see a "common" folder, yet that's where it appears that I should be putting my stuff... any ideas? Re: VC project common folder Chris Losinger4-Jun-02 11:47 Chris Losinger 4-Jun-02 11:47  i put each static lib in its own folder. that way, i can get to it from any workspace/project that needs to. -c Cheap oil.

Drescher4-Jun-02 15:19 John M. Drescher 4-Jun-02 15:19  It means that you are linking your code with MSVCRTD and some other version of the c++ libraries that define the same functions. To get around this Open the link tab of the project settings for your executable and select the input category and then put MSVCRTD in the Ignore libraries edit box. John compiler independant __declspec(dllexport) Joel Holdsworth4-Jun-02 11:18 Joel Holdsworth 4-Jun-02 11:18  Hi, I'm making a dll which needs to export classes, but as this is going to be used to make compiler independant extensions, I would like to keep the code as platform independant possible, so does anyone know a way of doing this: class __declspec(dllexport) CFoo which would work on any compiler. __declspec(dllexport) according to the MS documentation seems to be microsoft specific. If possible I would like to keep away from writing into the .DEF file, but if I have to does anyone know how to do it right? Thanks for your time...

That being said. I think DEF file is much better way to export then using __declspec(dllexport). You should however use __declspec(dllimport) so that the linker optimizes the stub linkage.

MFC does the same way. system reboot Member 390934-Jun-02 11:06 Member 39093 4-Jun-02 11:06  Hi! I have written an NT Service to monitor an application execution. The NT Service detect properly when the application crashes (deadlock). In order to reboot the system I am using the API function ExitWindowsEx to reboot the system, but it doesn’t work very well. As a matter of fact, when I call this API function the system shows a blue screen and stay in this situation timelessly. The code that I am using (the shut down example from MSDN) is show below (I guess I have got the right privilege). Does anybody know how can I make the system reboot properly? Thank you very much for your attention. Sergio HANDLE hToken; TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tkp; // Get a token for this process. if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken)) error("OpenProcessToken"); // Get the LUID for the shutdown privilege. LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, &tkp.Privileges[0].Luid); tkp.PrivilegeCount = 1; // one privilege to set tkp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED; // Get the shutdown privilege for this process. AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken, FALSE, &tkp, 0, (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL, 0); // Cannot test the return value of AdjustTokenPrivileges. if (GetLastError() != ERROR_SUCCESS) error("AdjustTokenPrivileges"); // Shut down the system and force all applications to close. if (!ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN | EWX_FORCE, 0)) error("ExitWindowsEx"); Re: system reboot Ernest Laurentin4-Jun-02 11:30 Ernest Laurentin 4-Jun-02 11:30  BTW, Welcome Sergio! I saw your name as a new member! For your problem, I think you didn't get the right privilege, try adding a Messagebox or something in your app to verify that. I am pretty sure you didn't obtain the privilege. Good luck! One good thing about getting older, you don't lose the ages you've been! Re: system reboot Mauricio Ritter4-Jun-02 12:15 Mauricio Ritter 4-Jun-02 12:15  Hi Sergio ! Welcome to CP ! I don´t know if this would help but try to change the ExitWindowsEx stuff for this: InitiateSystemShutdown(NULL, NULL, 0, TRUE, FALSE); Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank The alcohol is one of the greatest enemys of man, but a man who flee from his enemys is a coward. Re: system reboot Richard Ellis4-Jun-02 15:11 Richard Ellis 4-Jun-02 15:11  G'Day Sergio, A while ago I wrote a NT Service that would reboot my pc. As suggested by Mauricio I used InitiateSystemShutdown. If you want the pc to reboot rather than shutdown then the last parameter should be TRUE rather than FALSE in Mauricio's example. With respect to priveleges - SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME is the only one that I have used. Good Luck Richard. looking for IE Toolbar developer 4-Jun-02 10:47 4-Jun-02 10:47  If you are a VC++ Guru and knowz how to create XML based IE Toolbars, then leave a comment here with your email and sample work url's We have lot of orders of IE Toolbars.

Joel Holdsworth loading dll's 4-Jun-02 10:21 4-Jun-02 10:21  Hi I'm new to c++ and need a little help loading dll's at run-time. I found a bit of code on msdn, edited it and crossed my fingers but it didn't work . Can anyone see why? ------------------------------------------------- int CMainFrame::LoadPlugins() { typedef UINT (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC)(); HINSTANCE hDLL[5]; // Handle to DLL LPFNDLLFUNC lpfnDllFunc[5]; // Function pointer UINT uReturnVal = 0; CString PluginName[5] = {"plugin1.dll", "plugin2.dll"}; for (int i = 0; i != 5; ++i) { // Use Plugin name to load plugin hDLL[i] = LoadLibrary("Plugins\\" + PluginName[i]); if ((hDLL[i]) != NULL) { AfxMessageBox("Loaded Plugin : " + PluginName[i]); lpfnDllFunc[i] = (LPFNDLLFUNC)GetProcAddress(hDLL[i], "Load"); if (!lpfnDllFunc[i]) { // handle the error AfxFreeLibrary(hDLL[i]); AfxMessageBox("Couldn't Execute Plugin : " + PluginName[i] + ". No such function."); } else { // call the function uReturnVal = lpfnDllFunc[i](); AfxMessageBox("Function Called"); } } else { if (PluginName[i] != "") AfxMessageBox("Couldn't Load Plugin : " + PluginName[i]); } } //if a return value was set at least 1 plugin loaded if (uReturnVal) return 1; } ------------------------------------------------- It will load the dll but not execute the function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Re: loading dll's Mike Nordell5-Jun-02 0:53 Mike Nordell 5-Jun-02 0:53  Anonymous wrote: lpfnDllFunc[i](); How about (*lpfnDllFunc[i])(); Re: loading dll's 5-Jun-02 3:42 5-Jun-02 3:42  Thanks for the reply, i think the problem might be in the dll, i'm not sure i'm exporting the function correctly. The line: lpfnDllFunc[i] = (LPFNDLLFUNC)GetProcAddress((hDLL[i]), "Load"); returns NULL, does this mean it cant find the function? I'm using the folowing code to export it ------------------------------------------ __declspec( dllexport ) int CPluginApp::Load() { AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); AfxMessageBox("Inside DLL"); return 1; } ------------------------------------------ Thanks again for the help, as i said i'm a newbe and i've taken on a rather large project for my first proper C++ app, got quite a complex UI sorted but this DLL stuff is giving me a headache. Do you know of any system DLL's that export functions i might try and access to see if the code in my exe works? (at least then i could concentrate on exporting from the DLL correctly) Re: loading dll's Mike Nordell5-Jun-02 4:03 Mike Nordell 5-Jun-02 4:03  Anonymous wrote: The line: lpfnDllFunc[i] = (LPFNDLLFUNC)GetProcAddress((hDLL[i]), "Load"); returns NULL, does this mean it cant find the function? When something is so clearly documented and you display you haven't even bothered to look it up in the documentation before wasting our time and bandwidth, do you really expect to get any more answers? Re: loading dll's 5-Jun-02 4:37 5-Jun-02 4:37  I have looked it up in the documentation, that's how i've got this far, i'm attempting to teach myself c++ and occasionally run into problems, there's no need to be such an arse about it. If you don't want to help dont reply. Re: loading dll's Mike Nordell5-Jun-02 6:19 Mike Nordell 5-Jun-02 6:19  I wasn't being an arse just for the sake of it, it was to make you realize that to deserve help you should at least have exhausted your own sources of information before asking for help. Since knowing about pointers, and especially NULL pointers, is among the most basic aspects of this language I (apprently falsely) assumed you knew it. May I suggest (and this is not trying to be a prick, this is the helpful me that is writing) that you have a look around the 'net? Googling for e.g. "beginners c++" can probably turn up quite a lot. Reading comp.lang.c++.moderated, even the archives at http://groups.google.com, can probably turn up a lot of information. I don't know what edition of MSVC you are using, but there are loads of samples in e.g. the SDK folder. MSDN also have many samples. Dotted lines ?! 4-Jun-02 9:25 4-Jun-02 9:25  Hello, I need paint dotted line using Win32API with GDI. I'm trying to draw focusRect, but with exact color, not inverting the background like DrawFocuRect does. If I use pen style PS_DOT the pen is not exactly dotted - there are small lines. I need one pixel colored and one transparent. Have you any idea how to draw it? I've looked at DrawFocusRect code and it calls undocumented PolyPatBlt Ondra Re: Dotted lines ?! Bruno Podetti4-Jun-02 10:46 Bruno Podetti 4-Jun-02 10:46  Did you try to use an userpen? This is a way how to make a doted line too. LOGBRUSH LogBrush; LogBrush.lbColor = RGB(255,0,0); LogBrush.lbStyle = BS_SOLID; DWORD Spaces[] = {1,1}; CPen MyPen2(PS_USERSTYLE|PS_ENDCAP_FLAT|PS_GEOMETRIC,0,&LogBrush,2,Spaces);
