Re: PC Losing Time Rutger Ellen5-Jul-02 3:34 Rutger Ellen 5-Jul-02 3:34  either you save the time somwhere in your program (using SetSystemTime for instance), after which the system will sync the time automattically or the code you generate somewhere stops interrupts from being processed ( I was not aware that this was still possible, or are you using a win 9x/ME version?). So also the clock int gets processed too late.

If you're running your code in a fairly tight loop, with constant access to the serial ports, console, and hdd, it may be missing a number of clock update cycles. I've read elsewhere that the clock maintenance process isn't a real high priority, and can be easily bumped by user processes. Try putting the serial I/O in a separate thread, if it isn't already. I haven't worked a great deal with serial I/O in a long time, but in researching an aborted project that would have needed it, I stumbled across a couple of articles that recommend this as a way to prevent blocking other processes. There are three types of people in the world: Those who make things happen; those who watch things happen; those who wonder what happened. Cannot compile .h file? ivex4-Jul-02 20:56 ivex 4-Jul-02 20:56  I am using VC++ and when I press the compile button a msg box appeared and told me that: Cannot compile the file '...\myheader.h': no compile tool is associated with the file extension. Why would this happend? Re: Cannot compile .h file? Christian Graus4-Jul-02 22:16 Christian Graus 4-Jul-02 22:16  Because you cannot compile a header file - you need to build the project.

Alexandru Savescu5-Jul-02 2:14 Alexandru Savescu 5-Jul-02 2:14  You cannot compile a header file. Try compiling the corresponding .cpp file. If there is an error in the header file the compiler will report it. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu Registering OCXs Jerome Conus4-Jul-02 20:16 Jerome Conus 4-Jul-02 20:16  Hi ! My app is using several OCXs and DLLs. I'm wondering what is the best way to automatically register these OCXs and DLLs. Does InstallShield do it ? Do I have to write my own code calling REGSRV32 serveral times ? Thank you for your help ! Jerome Transparent MFC windows with MSVS 6.0 4-Jul-02 19:20 4-Jul-02 19:20  Is there a way to make the MFC windows of my App transparent with MSVS 6.0? Or is there a downloadable MFC upgrade for WinXP? Or an upgrade for VS 6.0 that supports all new features of WinXP, MFC etc? (without to need to upgrade to VS .NET, at least not yet). Thank you! Re: Transparent MFC windows with MSVS 6.0 Christian Graus4-Jul-02 19:57 Christian Graus 4-Jul-02 19:57  You need W2000 or Win XP and you need to download the platform SDK.

I'm not sure about MFC. Re: Transparent MFC windows with MSVS 6.0 Christian Graus5-Jul-02 17:39 Christian Graus 5-Jul-02 17:39  No it does not. The transparent stuff is done with API calls, which the SDK gives you. How else would your 1995 compiler give you Windows 2000 API calls ? Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity.

Re: Conversion Christian Graus4-Jul-02 19:59 Christian Graus 4-Jul-02 19:59  put it through a _bstr_t constructor, it will do it for you. If you construct a _bstr_t and pass in false as a second argument, it will take ownership of the string as well. _bstr_t b_tEd(bstrEd, false); // No need to clean up the BSTR anystringfunction(b_tEd); // _bstr_t will do the conversion It's in comdef.h, I believe.

If yes, please send me some instructions. Thank you. Long Truong Re: Is there any way to send/receive fax by using TAPI? Michael P Butler5-Jul-02 1:45 Michael P Butler 5-Jul-02 1:45  TAPI only handles the telephony call handling, answering the call and dropping the call. The actual data sending and receiving isn't handled by TAPI. You have to do this bit yourself. The Platform SDK has the Windows FAX API, I don't know if this is of any use to you. There are third party components that will do faxing using TAPI.

I am writing a printer processor( a part of printer driver) which is a dll. But when i used this dll for the first time, i found it impossible to replace it with new version without reboot because the system said it was used by other program.
