Hi all,

I'm wired with this two days now.

In a chr* buffer I got a int in ASCII.

I want to convert into UNICODE and attach a stringstream, which is a UNICODE stream.

How can I do it.

Help really appreciate.
Thanks a lot,

I appreciate your help all the time...

i think, you need to convert the number to string (like "123" for example) first using wsprintf, or any similar function like that. If not, if the value is zero, then it may be taken as the end of string (depends upon how you use the string stream).

Re: ASCII to UNICODE - What I've done so far

Here what I have done so far.

<br />
<br />
	int temp = InMsg[0]; // In the buffer 0th byte contain the int value<br />
<br />
	stringstream str(ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary);<br />
	if(CopyTo(str) == 0) // This return the stream correctly<br />
	{<br />
		wchar_t* results = new wchar_t[1];<br />
		swprintf(results, L"%d", temp);<br />
		<br />
		InMsg.Attach(results, 0); // I'm stuck here<br />
	}<br />

My attach function like this.

<br />
bool CRfMessage::Attach(istream& str, const UINT offset)<br />
{<br />
	size_t		buffer_size;<br />
<br />
	if(str.bad()) <br />
		return false;<br />
<br />
	str.seekg(0,ios_base::end);<br />
<br />
	buffer_size = str.tellg();<br />
<br />
	char* payload = (char*)AdjustDataSize((UINT)buffer_size+offset);<br />
<br />
	//	move to begin and read in to message buffer<br />
	str.seekg(0,ios_base::beg).read(payload+offset,buffer_size);<br />
<br />
	return true;<br />
}<br />

I appreciate your help all the time...

here's a simple way to do it without needing any libraries. it's not protected from overflow though, so be warned! Big Grin | :-D

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	char ascii[100] = "example", *ascii_p = ascii;
	wchar_t unicode[100], *unicode_p = unicode;
	while (*unicode_p++ = *ascii_p++);
	std::cout << ascii << std::endl;
	std::wcout << unicode << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition.

How to send email through coding?

Hello to all,
there are some standard methods (like MAPI) of MFC through which we can send emails by programming.In these methods when we will click on "Send" option of menu item, firstly our email id will be connected to outlook express and then through it mail will be sent. But I am doing a project in which I want to do this without getting connected to outlook express GUI because I have created my own dialog box which contains some edit boxes,one button "Attach",another button "Send". Edit boxes are used to write email adresses to whom u want to send mail,to display attached file names and to write the actual message you want to send.After clicking on "Attach" button selected files should get attached to the mail and after clicking on "Send" button, mail should be sent along with the typed message and attached files,to the email addresses we typed in an edit box.In this I dont want to use outlook express.Can anyone tell me how to do this? It is really urgent so plz can anyone help me out?

Thanks and Regards,

Anay

Which C++ compiler is the best ? VC6, VC7, VC8?

Usually the upper is the number, the better is the compiler.
The above rule is wrong when applied to their operative systems. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

BTW the compiler name is CL.

I've read that VC6 generates the fastest executables. My impression is consistent with that. I like VC6's GUI better too. I seem to remember reading a claim that it wouldn't work on Vista, but I'm not sure about that.

VC6 has worked fine for me on Vista for years, you just have to run it elevated. I have a post on my CP blog about how to install it.

[solved] CScrollView can't scroll [modified]

I Create a scroll view in my dialog.

CMyDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
  ...

  CSize size(1600,1200);
  m_scroll_view.SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT,size);
  //or m_scroll_view.SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT,size,CSize(100,100),CSize(10,10));
}

When running, the scroll bar appears, and the thumbs' sizes are right. When I'm trying to scroll,
all is ok until LButtuonUp, the thumb will go back to the start of bar then.
What's the problem?
Thanks.

I'm guessing that as you don't show it, you don't have any handlers for the WM_V/HSCROLL messages that the scroll bar produces. Add a handler for those to your dialog, and then have a look at the docs for those messages.

It's my careless, I changed the base class from CWnd to CScrollView,
but I forgot to change it in BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP.

I'm finding a better framework than MFC. Poke tongue | ;-P

Indeed, one that keeps you from forgetting to change the code generated by a Wizard. Yes, must find new framework, good idea. Keep up the good work!
