I haven't seen your code to create the dialog, but your problem could be that it's a modal dialog, which makes specific assumptions about when the dialog is shown and hidden. If you make a modeless dialog and its template doesn't specify that the window is visible, then the dialog will remain hidden till you want to show it.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have a C++ application which connects to an FTP site (using a third-party FTP software) , uploads a file (a request), waits for the request to be processed (signaled by creation of another file) and proceeds to download that file. So as you can see it's pretty straight forward.
However some of my clients are warning me against using FTP (security reasons) and they are asking if I can develop an application that would use HTTPS instead. I'm not sure how to go about doing this. For starters are there third-party applications that allow me to make an HTTPS connection (taken into account all the different firewalls, etc... settings that my current third-party FTP software handles) and secondly can my application still just upload a file using HTTPS, and download the answer as it currently does? Has anyone here ever rewritten a FTP application to work with HTTPS instead?
I realize that this may seem silly to some of you experts out there but ANY help or guidance you can give me in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Yours,
A.

I suggest you read about both FTP and HTTP/HTTPS until you fully understand them. Giving you a short description in a forum response would not satisfy your need to fully understand the protocols. However considering your eagerness to relegate responsibility to third party components you might consider using Google to find some as there are many so that shouldn't be difficult.

Hi A,
U R concern is to upload a file to a server .
fist question is do u wish to use the mange code or don't want .NET classes in your code ?
If you say u use .NET ur all set very easy task :
Use the WebClient or HttpWebRequest .
If you say u dont want manage code :
The protocol u want to use is HTTPS , so you should use WinInet or WinHTTPS
I have struggled to upload the file with WinHTTPS .
If u get the upload right let me know we can share our experience

I have a dumb question. I basically have two issues that are for the same question. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 C/C++ compiler.
The first issue is that I have a basic C application that will read in a text file, excel file, SQL 2005 database file and import them to Oracle. The code does not use any of the MFC foundation classes or even the C++ classes. It is basic C. The code does use Oracle' pro-C compiler to interact wit the Oracle database but that is not the question.
I compiled my code on Windows XP Professional using static linked libraries. I am not using any Window specific DLLs except what is available for the C compiler. I want to compile my code on Windows XP and run the application .EXE on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows 2003. I found out that I could do this. I successfully ran my application built for Windows XP on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 without a problem.
I am basically linking with the PlatformSDK out of MS Visual 2005 Studio. I just want to verify that I will have no problem. I tested it and it appears to be no problem.
The second issue is that I also have a GUI application that uses the Windows SDK for GUIs (no C++ MFC foundations). This application creates a dialog box and adds buttons and menus that allow the user to create schedules for the oracle database via a GUI interface As I mentioned it is an older version of code that is just being maintained. It was also built on Windows XP and runs on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
The question:
1. Does anybody know if compiled code (statically linked) built on Windows XP will cause an issue on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003?
2. Do I have to install VC8 Dlls? It appears that I do not since I am using the PlatformSDK and basic C.
Thanks

Statically linked is good but not the same thing as self contained. Every API call you make will still end up in a version dependent Windows Dlls, that shouldn't attempt to update, loaded at runtime from a runtime determined location with the potential for the function to be missing on older versions of Windows. Even the statically linked C Library makes runtime calls to Windows Dlls, some before your code even gets executed when your process starts.
Provided you code defensively to allow for this where you can then you shouldn't have any other problems on the versions you mentioned. Running code accross NT and non NT based (i.e 9x/ME) versions is another kettle of pirhanas.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

I'm getting errors like this
error C2664: 'GetModuleFileNameW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char *' to 'LPWCH'
char szFilespec [_MAX_PATH]; // filespec // Get name of .exe file //sans name
::GetModuleFileName (0, szFilespec, _MAX_PATH);
and
error C2664: 'atoi' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'ATL::CStringT<basetype,stringtraits>' to 'const char *'
time_t CLogRead::GetTimeFromStrings(char *chDate,char *chTime){
struct tm t;
CString tmpStr;
CString strMonth;
tmpStr = chDate;
tmpStr +=" ";
tmpStr += chTime;
t.tm_year = atoi(tmpStr.Mid(7,4)) - 1900;
i seem to recall this is something about Unicode. How do I change my project tio get rid of these compile errors? I'm not familiar with the IDE so if you could direct me how to,I'd appreciate it.
thanks,
sb

Open the project properties, go to "C/C++" -> "Preprocessor" and click on the "Preprocessor Definitions" line. A button will appear on the right of this line, click on it this will display a dialog. On this dialog uncheck the "Inherit from parent or project defaults".

Thanks Cedric,
It wanted _AFXDLL after I unchecked the inherited ones, so I entered it by hand. It seems to have gotten past that point now.
Apppreciate your help,
sb

Dear All
Hi
We write one program with Visual C++ which connects to sql server DB 2000 for data base operations.
We use windows 2000 OS in our project.
sometimes our program hangs up for a while and after it program exits.
We think that it is because of SQL server interaction.
The logs which we create shows that all critical threads hangs for a while before program exit.
First we think that it is because of one exception in our program, but we setup Dr Watson and don't catch any exception when program exits.
Do you have same experience about SQL server interaction.
Do you have any idea bout testing our proram to find the reason the this error.
If you have any idea about this bug please let me know.
Regards

Hi All,
I was playing around with char pointers just trying to learn things and noticed that if I malloc the size of a char and set what the returned poitner points at to be 'AB', when I cout what the pointer points to it writes out 'B'.
This is the code:
char *mainBuf = NULL;
mainBuf = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char));
*mainBuf = 'AB';
cout << "mainBuf=" << mainBuf << endl;
The output is:
mainBuf=B
I really didn't know what this would do as like I said I was experimenting. In a way I was surprised it did not crash because I thought cout looked for the terminating null character.
Can anyone help me understand why this does what it does?
Thanks.

What exactly are you expecting to do with this?  You are passing 1 to malloc(), yet you are trying to stuff, albeit incorrectly, 2 bytes into mainBuf. Why?
Why are you using malloc() with a C++ program. Use new instead:
char *mainBuf = new char[3];
strcpy(mainBuf, "AB");
delete [] mainBuf;

Nope, 'AB' is one byte (it is different than "AB"), this will be truncated to one byte. But I think the compiler should give an error there instead of a warning...

Point taken, but it's wrong nonetheless.

Nope, 'AB' is a short int that will truncated to one byte

I was just playing around with the code, no real application here. Just learning.
I actually started by writing a sample to use a pointer to a pointer. Just to learn how it worked and actually use what I read. I then for some reason decided to stuff 'AB' into what the pointer points to just to see what would happen. I then removed the pointer to pointer part to simplify it before posting the question.
Maybe this just gets into the realm of undefined behavior. I thought perhaps there would be an explanation as to why it does what it does.
Thanks.

I'm sorry no one here has taken the effort to give you a good reply. I also would like to know the answer.
I've never used syntax like 'AB' since I've always dealt with ASCII strings, and the single 'apostophe' returns the character (integer) value of a single character between the marks. I don't know what it does in your context, but appears that perhaps it's playing "little endian" and returning the least-significant byte of a 16-bit value???
Did you try declaring the pointer as a wchar_t* instead? This might work.
Maybe some real coders will see your question in a while and respond with a real answer.
David
