Have you tried SetTimer()?

Tried it, if the dialog code is inside an application settimer and the corresponding OnTimer that receives the WM_TIMER msg works. However, once the dialog class is implemented from a dll, the OnTimer function no longer receives any WM_TIMER msgs. However, the SetTimer fires when required.

Error Damage after normal block 63 at ....

Hello,
I am getting this error in my program in debug mode..

Damage: after Normal block (#63) at 0x011E1A20

It happens after I try the following code.

void CEncryptDlg::EncryptMsg()
{
UpdateData(TRUE);

KeyGen((DWORD)m_iKey);

DWORD* pdwTemp;

// Gets the length of the msg for the loop
m_nMsgLength = (UINT) m_strMessage.GetLength();

m_pFileData = new BYTE[m_nMsgLength];

// Fills the m_pFileData with the String
m_pFileData = (BYTE*) (LPCTSTR) m_strMessage.LockBuffer();

for(UINT i = 0; i < m_nMsgLength; i += 16)
{
pdwTemp = (DWORD*)&m_pFileData[i];

pdwTemp[0] = (pdwTemp[0] - m_dwS[2 * R + 2]);
pdwTemp[2] = (pdwTemp[2] - m_dwS[2 * R + 3]);

for(int j = R; j >= 1; j--)
{
DWORD temp = pdwTemp[3];
pdwTemp[3] = pdwTemp[2];
pdwTemp[2] = pdwTemp[1];
pdwTemp[1] = pdwTemp[0];
pdwTemp[0] = temp;

DWORD t = LeftRotate((pdwTemp[1] * (2 * pdwTemp[1] + 1)),
OffsetAmount((DWORD)(log((double)W)/log(2.0))));
DWORD u = LeftRotate((pdwTemp[3] * (2 * pdwTemp[3] + 1)),
OffsetAmount((DWORD)(log((double)W)/log(2.0))));
pdwTemp[0] = (RightRotate((pdwTemp[0] - m_dwS[2 * j]), OffsetAmount(u))) ^ t;
pdwTemp[2] = (RightRotate((pdwTemp[2] - m_dwS[2 * j + 1]), OffsetAmount(t))) ^ u;
}

pdwTemp[1] = (pdwTemp[1] - m_dwS[0]);
pdwTemp[3] = (pdwTemp[3] - m_dwS[1]);
}

m_strMessage.UnlockBuffer();

// Displays the String after being encrypted
m_strMessage = (LPCTSTR) m_pFileData;

m_pFileData = NULL;
m_nMsgLength = 0;
pdwTemp = NULL;

UpdateData(FALSE);
}

Any ideas? 

Thanks!!

I've noticed three errors:

// Fills the m_pFileData with the String
m_pFileData = (BYTE*) (LPCTSTR) m_strMessage.LockBuffer();

This does not copy the contents of m_strMessage into m_pFileData: instead, it simply makes m_pFileData point to those contents. I don't think your crash is due to this, but it's an error nevertheless.

m_pFileData = NULL;

You're having a memory leak here, as m_pFileData should be deleted with delete [] m_pFileData (once you've fixed the first error.) Again, your crash is probably not related to this.

for(UINT i = 0; i < m_nMsgLength; i += 16)

This is most likely what's causing the problem. You're handling the data as contiguous blocks of 16 bytes, but this won't be always the case: Consider for instance that m_nMsgLength is 20: then your code will overwrite 12 bytes past the end of m_pFileData. You should be adjusting the space allocated with m_pFileData to cope with this situation (and of course correct first the other errors.)

I didn't finish reading the code, but here's the first problem at least:

m_pFileData = new BYTE[m_nMsgLength];
 
// Fills the m_pFileData with the String
m_pFileData = (BYTE*) (LPCTSTR) m_strMessage.LockBuffer();

Allocates a buffer, and immediately looses the only pointer to it. Then, at the end:

m_strMessage.UnlockBuffer();
 
// Displays the String after being encrypted
m_strMessage = (LPCTSTR) m_pFileData;

Unlocking the buffer tells CString that you're no longer holding any pointers to its internal data (which you in fact are), and that it can go ahead and free it if it needs to. Think for a bit about what's going to happen when it frees that internal buffer, and then tries to copy into a new buffer whatever happens to be in the memory where the old buffer once was...

Like i said, i didn't read through the rest of the code, (could you indent pls?) but this is definately a place to start... Smile | :)

Thanks to both of you! using strcpy instead of using a pointer and locking the buffer helped, plus I didn't need to delete m_pFileData I was just trying to NULL it but that was not needed..

Thanks again.

DoBulkFieldExchange problem

Hi I am trying to implement a simple Bulk Row Fetching mechanism using the DoBulkFieldExchange function.

My problem is that I get a "????????????? ODBC ????? ?????????" message box on a CRecordset.Open command. I have implemented a derived CRecordset class for a simple table in sybase that has two columns and three rows of data.

Below are my header and implementation files.

// BulkFetch.h

class CBulkFetch : public CRecordset
{
public:
CBulkFetch(CDatabase* pDatabase = NULL);
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CBulkFetch)

// Field/Param Data

LPSTR m_fname;
LPSTR m_lname;
//}}AFX_FIELD
long *m_fnameLength;
long *m_lnameLength;

CString parm;

// Overrides
// ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides
//{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CBulkFetch)
public:
virtual CString GetDefaultConnect(); // Default connection string
virtual CString GetDefaultSQL(); // Default SQL for Recordset
// virtual void DoFieldExchange(CFieldExchange* pFX); // RFX support
//}}AFX_VIRTUAL

virtual void DoBulkFieldExchange(CFieldExchange* pFX); // RFX support
// Implementation
#ifdef _DEBUG
virtual void AssertValid() const;
virtual void Dump(CDumpContext& dc) const;
#endif
};

// BulkfFetch.cpp

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CBulkFetch, CRecordset)

CBulkFetch::CBulkFetch(CDatabase* pdb)
: CRecordset(pdb)
{
////{{AFX_FIELD_INIT(CBulkFetch)
m_fname = NULL;
m_lname = NULL;
m_nFields = 2;
////}}AFX_FIELD_INIT
m_fnameLength = NULL;
m_lnameLength = NULL;
m_nDefaultType = snapshot;
m_nParams = 0;
}

CString CBulkFetch::GetDefaultConnect()
{
return _T("ODBC;DSN=ARBOR_CUST1_PROD");
}

CString CBulkFetch::GetDefaultSQL()
{
return _T("[guest].[ashish_test]");
}

void CBulkFetch::DoBulkFieldExchange(CFieldExchange* pFX)
{
////{{AFX_FIELD_MAP(CBulkFetch)
pFX->SetFieldType(CFieldExchange::outputColumn);
RFX_Text_Bulk(pFX, _T("[fname]"), &m_fname,&m_fnameLength,30);
RFX_Text_Bulk(pFX, _T("[lname]"), &m_lname,&m_lnameLength,30);
////}}AFX_FIELD_MAP

}

One column in list control

ns16-Jul-02 11:46

16-Jul-02 11:46

I want only one column, and not a blank one in addition to col 0 that appears by default. I am doing:

m_list1.InsertColumn(0,"Keywords",LVCFMT_LEFT,800);
m_list1.SetColumnWidth(0, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER);

m_list2.SetExtendedStyle(LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES);
m_list2.InsertColumn(0,"Options",LVCFMT_LEFT,800);
m_list2.SetColumnWidth(0, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER);

if(NULL != m_list1.GetSafeHwnd())

{
m_list1.MoveWindow(100,100,200,400);
m_list2.MoveWindow(450,100,200,400);

}

Inspite of the great width specified, a 200 wide list control shows up with the col 0, plus a little part of another column (a blank one) showing. If I make the col width 100, then theres only one visible column. However I needa width of 200. What is to be done in this case?
Thanks,
ns

Re: I got it. Thanks anyways

I had to get rid of the autosizeheader line, which actually someone here at CP had suggested when my setting the width didnt work ,> however right now, setting the width to 800 is doing the job...

Thanks anyways!

I need to be able to open a file for "reading" that is already opened exclusively by another app, that is writting to that same file.

I've used tools that do this, but can't figure out how it is done.

DAO in VC++ not working.

Hello,

I will really appreciate any input on the following problems.
I am implementing the Database operations using MFC .. and using DAO. The problem is when the program goes to get the data, it just quits. THIS HAPPENS ONLY ON SOME COMPUTERS. It just simply quits! This was happening when I was implementing ODBC in the same program. The screen where it is supposed to display the data, when it goes to the screen .. it just disappears and terminates. My database is in .mdb format.
The other problem is that it says "Unrecognized database format" if I write my database in Access 2000.
I am wondering if there are some win registry entries that are not being updated or something.
Thank you very much for your time and help !

Sincerely,
Anjum.

Does your installation program for your application include installation of DAO runtime components?

Hi,

I had the same problem with "Unrecognized database format" and
I solved it like this:

In InitInstance() of my App-Class I put the follwing line:
AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x0601;

That was it.

For further Information see the follwing Article on MSDN:

I hope that helps you.

Modeless Dialog

16-Jul-02 10:29

Hi,

My application interacts with the device through RS232
Data sent/Received over the port should be displayed
while still programming is communicating with the device.

For this I created one modeless dialog class with edit member variable

Now Consider one packet tobe sent, contents of this packet should be assigned to the dialog class member variable and it should be updated but when I tried todo so
my application is crashing. But if I do with Modal Dialog
it is working fine.

can anyone please explain me

Thanks in advance

Uday

too many about communication.
does ur app crash from comm or modeless dialog box?

normally, modeless must be global or class member, can not be local as modal one because it returns at once then local modeless dialog box is destoyed.

hope hit ur point

Confused | :confused:

It is crashing at modeless, further I have not created this as local.
When communication is happening I wnat to show the data sent/received for which I am using the modeless.

If I assign the packet(CString type) to my edit variable(CString type of modeless dialog class), it is getting crashed.When I tried to assign it to the local variable it is not crashing

adding a new configuration

16-Jul-02 10:27

Hello everybody,

I am not sure how hard this is, but I want to add a new configuration based on some #define code. I am trying to follow Paul DiLascia's tutorial on building a File viewer.

So this is my question. He adds a code that turns his SDI bitmap loader into an MDI bitmap loader. I want to do this too. He adds a lot of #ifdef _MDI statements that convert the code to MDI. You have to add a new configuration to do this.

How do I add a configuration to get this #ifdef _MDI to work? I tried to add a new configuration, but it never runs the code in the #ifdef _MDI, but always goes to the #else statements. I added a AfxmessageBox to make sure, and the message box always says "SDI Compilation" and never "MDI Compilation."

How would I go about adding his configuration?

Thanks so much,

NickOne

If you already created a new configuration for MDI mode, go to the Project Settings for it and look for the preprocessor section. Add _MDI to the list of predefined macros.
