Acutally sorry I had forgotten to use SysAllocString!

thanks

A2W allocates memory on the stack, so it may be a problem if you convert very large strings.

SysAllocString allocates memory for BSTR string, not w strings, although the code sees them as equivalent. The difference is that a BSTR has 4 bytes preceding the address of the string that tells the length (in bytes) of the string.

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

As michel wrote, it allocates memory on the stack. But, if you use VC++ 7.0, you can use CA2W(), it allocates memory on the heap, if needed, but otherwise it works just like A2W(). Smile | :)

Create an exe script in C++

Hi,

I would like to create a script in C++ for introduce some datas into a executale.

For example : senddata /p test /r test1.

I create a little sample and after I execute my script, the prompt message is closed and I can't see the result.

My sample:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("Hello World!\n");

char *p;
int i;
int iErr;

for (i=1; i

This works fine (I just add the condition in the for loop)

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	printf("Hello World!\n");
	
	char *p;
	int i;
	int iErr;
	
	
	for (i=1; i < argc;i++)
	{
		p=argv[i];
		if(*p=='/')
		{
			p++;
			switch(*p)
			{
			case 't':
				{
					printf("Option :t is introduce\n");
					iErr = 1;
				}
				break;
				
			case 'T':
				{
					printf("Option :T is introduce\n");
					iErr = 2;
				}
				break;
			default : 
				printf("Nothing\n");
				iErr = 0;
			}
		}
		else
		{
			printf("Nothing\n");
			iErr = 0;
		}
	}
	
	return iErr;
}

Yes, I know but I would like that the Prompt message is allways displayed and not destroyed.

Have you a solution for me ?

Best Regards

You can force a prompt at the end with

getchar();

...
(BTW, the message is not destroy on my machine until you hit a key (even without the getchar())
How do you run your program ? In VC++ ? Or from the Explorer ? Or from Command Line ?

Unless you are using WTL you can't, because the MFC version of CString requires some MFC Internals. There is a WTL version but this requires you to use ATL and WTL.

VC NET

Use ATL::CString
#include <atlstr.h>

In VC 6, you can use WTL::CString if you download WTL, but the class in WTL 3.1 was not incredibly good.

Why not use stl string. its much better than the CString and feature rich. Easy o use. If u r unsure why not peek into "Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel Vol 2. @ mindview.net Blush | :O

update controls based on other inputs

I have a popup keypad for numbers and would like to have the number added to a edit control for display as it is typed and then return the number on clicking ok.

I can't seem to get the number to show in the edit control.

I thought there was an article on this but couldn't find it.

Any help would be very much appriciated.

Thanks,

Not sure that I can give enough source to make sence. So I'll try and explain with a short example:

Dialog app. user clicks edit box and a dialog appears with a button and an edit box. The user clicks the button and every time a one is added to a temp array and the new number is displayed in the edit box. On exit the number is returned to the first click edit box.

Number should look like 11111. But in the real app there are 10 buttons plus other functions to act on the number present. Much like a calculator.

Thanks for trying to understand. Hope this helps.

OK: It does not sound very complicated...

First, draw your dialog and create a class associated to it, let´s name it CKeypadDlg. If you are already lost, mail back Big Grin | :-D

Add a member

int * m_Response

Then overload the DoModal function like this :

int CKeypadDlg::DoModal(int *response)
{
m_Response=response;
return CDialog::DoModal()
}

declare a CString in your KeypadDLg:

CString m_Result

On your second dialog box, you should have a control associated to your CEditBox (let´s name it m_EditCtrl).

When the user clicks on button 1 for instance you will have to catch it in a OnButton... function - Double Click on the Button in the Dialog, and you´ll get :

void CKeypadDlg::OnButton1()
{
   m_Result+="1";
   m_EditCtrl.SetWindowText((LPCTSTR)(LPTSTR)(m_Result))
}

Same code for all button ...

To get the current result at any moment

int Result_i=_atoi(m_Result);

Finally, override OnOk() with

void CKeypadDlg::OnOK() 
{
	*m_Response=_atoi(m_Result);
	CDialog::OnOK();
}

Oufff ...

use it ike this :

CKeypadDlg myDlg
int final_result=0;
myDlg.DoModal(final_result);
//And here you get the result once the dialog is closed ...

Hope this helps ...

How do i use IShellFolder::ParseDisplayName correctly?

Not sure how to use it, it always returns "The parameter is incorrect." when the return value is interpreted with the Error Lookup.

Hi all,

Any programmer here who has experience with using DSP boards? As I'm not a hardware guy I'm looking for something coder-friendly. Any suggestions would be welcome Smile | :)

I used a DSP56001 board many years ago. (Like when the 186 was the top dog). It was good and easy to use at that time, considering I hadn't done my programming degree at that time. (that makes it 12 years ago OMG | :OMG:

)

Sorry if I can't be more help.

Any idea anyone where I can get benchmarks/performance figures. Ideally I'd like to know whether the bang/buck of a DSP compared to a 2Ghz AMD is better, etc and any pitfalls. I couldn't find any perf data on the Texas Instruments site.

close view but leave document open

I have am writting an MDI Doc/View app and have a situation where I would like to be able to close a view (there is only one view and it is derived from CScrollView) and leave the document open...then, sometime later, create a new view and attach it to the still open document.

How do I do this?

To avoid deeper hacking, I'd create a 'dummy' frame/view and hide it. So technically a view would exist - but user would be unaware about that.

Thanks for replying...I thought about that, but there can be many documents/views being opened and closed and if they are not really closed (only inactive), the inactive views continue to receive OnUpdate messages. I am worried about a possible performance hit...It seems that it would be cleaner to close the view, but leave the document open.
