Problem in making multithreading Winsock Server - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

When I compile my program I keep getting errors that some symbols are multiply defined. The items in question are in a global hearder file that each class needs to include so I assume this is where the problem exists, in that the file is being included into every class and producing the errors. I tried putting include guards on the header file but it doesn't change anything. Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

In the file that every other file includes, I assume you have something like:

var_type iSomeGlobVar;

Replace it with:

extern var_type iSomeGlobVar;

then, in some .cpp file (the one that goes with the .h one, if possible):

var_type iSomeGlobVar;

That should fix it.

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.

Thanks Michel, just one quick question, will this same procedure work for functions and structs?

A struct can be defined in a .h that is included multiple times with no problem. But if you have a variablee of some struct type, use the export keyword. Same with functions.

Hello all. I have searched through all the Tree Controls on code project and I have yet to find what I need. It could be that I am not looking hard enough, or that I am just blind Suspicious | :suss:

, but your help would be appreciated.

Anyway, I am looking for a tree control that uses check boxes and is smart enough to check all the parent nodes (in that greyed check sort of way) when a child node is checked. I have seen it in just about every application, and I have yet to find anything here.

Thanks in advance. Big Grin | :-D

Problem in making multithreading Winsock Server

Hello,

I am changing my server to support multithreading. However, I have problem. This is how the server main loop is

<br />
//######################################################################<br />
 // Main Server loop<br />
<br />
 CSocket clientS;<br />
<br />
 while (run)<br />
 {<br />
  Print_Log("A loop... : mainServer->Start()");<br />
  cs.Accept(clientS);<br />
  hSThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, ServiceThread, &clientS, 0, &threadId);<br />
 } // end while...loop<br />
<br />
 //######################################################################<br />
<br />

Here is my thread call back function:

<br />
DWORD WINAPI ServiceThread(LPVOID p)<br />
{<br />
 CSocket* clientS = ((CSocket*)p);<br />
 int re;<br />
 char r[6];<br />
<br />
 do<br />
 {<br />
  re = clientS->Receive(r, 6);<br />
  if (re != 0)<br />
    cout << r << endl;<br />
 } while (re != 0);<br />
 clientS->Close();<br />
 return 0;<br />
} // end of function ServiceThread()<br />
<br />

I get a error message when the client send me somehing, which is "Debug Assertion Fail". The server can actually receive the message, but when the thread is going to close. The error message come out. I didn't know where my code have make the mistake. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

tab control problem

I have a tab control in a single document VC++ document. I have individual dialogs for each tab in the control and the main dialog (CNewStats) also has a Load Stats button. Is there any way to update the data in the dialogs that are inside the tab control after the Load Stats function has been executed? Any help is appreciated.

I am developing an app that will, amongst other things, act as an OLE client. My app will currently embed and display an object, such as a Word document, but I want to go one step farther. When the Word object is displayed it only shows the first page... I want to give the user the ability to scroll through all of the pages (without actually editing the object). I tried deriving my view class from CScrollView, but this only gives the ability to scroll the first page of the Word doc up and down...It doesn't show the rest of the pages.

Does anyone know how to scroll the embedded client object (code examples would help alot)?

SendMessage not sending?

ns20-Sep-02 10:21

20-Sep-02 10:21

I have in the VC client a progressbar on the UI.:

BSTR bstrDesc;
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
      try
  {
  CoInitialize(NULL);
  _Class1Ptr ptr;
  ptr.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Class1));
  m_Progress1.SetStep(1);

  m_Progress1.SetRange(0, 10);

    long lHwnd=(long)m_Progress1.GetSafeHwnd();

    ptr->CheckingStuff(&lHwnd);

  }

and the VB dll function is:

For i = 1 To 10

result = SendMessage(PbarHandle, PBM_STEPIT, 0, 0)

Next

PBM_STEPIT = 1029

The progressbar in the VC UI remains stubbornly blank. What am I missing? Some manual setting for the progressbar, or some programmatic setting? How can I check if SendMessage is working?

Thanks,
ns

Things to check:

Make sure the whole HWND-passing mechanism is OK by having the VB function output the value of the handle passed and verifying that it is the same as the one you have in your MFC app.
Try posting messages instead of sending them.

Did Postmessage. Handle passe din is correctly received. Catching a com error in try catch. 0x0014509c - thats whats in the e.description.

Also:

First-chance exception in msway.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xC000008F: Float Inexact Result.
First-chance exception in msway.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception.

Does this mean anything?

}
catch(_com_error &e)
{
 bstrDesc = e.Description();

}

GetSafeHwnd()

ns20-Sep-02 10:10

20-Sep-02 10:10

The VC client calls the VB dll:

{
CoInitialize(NULL);
_Class1Ptr ptr;
ptr.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Class1));
m_Progress1.SetStep(1);

m_Progress1.SetRange(0, 10);

ptr->CheckingStuff(m_Progress1.GetSafeHwnd());


}

in VB there is:

Public Function CheckingStuff(PbarHandle As Long)

The VC compiler grumbles:

error C2664: 'CheckingStuff' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'struct HWND__ *' to 'long *'

I was told that long in VB should be the type, but apparently not.

I even tried:m_Progress1.GetSafeHwnd()->m_hWnd; and m_Progress1.m_hWnd as the calling function argumnents but thats not right either....

Please help!

Thanks,
ns

Re: PArameter Type problem

Joaquín M López Muñoz20-Sep-02 10:12

20-Sep-02 10:12

This most likely has to do with the annoying STRICT macro. You can ignore it and simply force the expected type:

long lHwnd=(long)m_Progress1.GetSafeHwnd();
ptr->CheckingStuff(&lHwnd);

Good luck.

Visual C++.NET Problem

Hi.

I experience a weird Visual Studio .NET problem and possible bug. I have been using this Visual C++ .NET compiler for a while now, but this problem has never occured. For some reason, Visual C++ wants to rebuild all modules (cpp) whenever I want to run the problem in either debug or release mode. For example, after you run build the problem and run it, you can run it without rebuilding everything if no changes were made. However, now Visual C++ .NET tells me that the programs is out of date everytime I run the program in either debug or release mode. This is true even if I have no changes whatsoever.

Does anyone know a possible reason for this problem?

Thanks,
Kuphryn

Check the date of all your files inside the project. If some, for some strange reason, is assigned a date in the future this kind of behavior can result.

Let's just say that VC7 is buggy. VC7.1 (a version that you will have to pay even more money for) might have fixed this.

I want to make voice chat application in VC++. For this purpose i am looking for some example source code or good resource from where i can learn and develop my own system. If you know any such code/resource then please do tell me. I've found one code here at CP but it is only peer to peer and can only work on LAN. I want to make my application client-server based just like what in Yahoo messenger. I am expert in socket programming as far as sending text is concerned. But i have no idea how to send voice on internet just like Yahoo messenger. I found nothing at MSDN related to this topic; you know how difficult it is sometimes to search MSDN. If you know any such source on MSDN or anywhere else then please tell me. Your advices in this regard are also welcome.

Question about using CSocket writing a server

nachilau20-Sep-02 8:23

nachilau

20-Sep-02 8:23

Hello,

I wonder what is the usage of using Bind method after creating a CSocket in the server. I get an error message when I Bind the socket, however, if I ignore the error, I can still receive the message come from the client. So, what is the usage of using Bind method in server side?

Actually, my code is something like this,

rt = cs.Create(1000, SOCK_STREAM, "127.0.0.1");
if (rt == 0)
Print_Error();
rt = cs.Bind(1000, "127.0.0.1");
if (rt == 0)
Print_Error();

When the program is going to bind the socket, it return error message 10022, which the documentation told me that is "invalid argument" exception. Can someone told me what is my problem?

Thanks!
