This problem can arise if the dialog application is build for x64 and the flex grid is a 32 bit activeX.

Firstly, thnx for the reply.
I have a question, though...if i am working on a 64bit machine, then the active x control (Msflxgrd.ocx) will be for 64bit right?How is it possible that i can built a dialog for 64bit with 32 bit active x control?Is there anything else that is required to be done on my project settings or any other file that i am suppose to use or download.Please do lemme know. Thnk You.

It is not necessary that the flex grid is also 64 bit.
Even though the OS is 64 bit, you can create 32 bit binaries.
Basically a 64 bit binary cannot load any 32 bit modules (.dll, .ocx etc.)
Similarily 32 bit binaries cannot load 64 bit modules.
So make sure the dialog app and flexgrid have the same bitness.

I have checked my dialog app and flexgrid.Both are 64bit.
I don't just understand what the problem is.Please do let me know.

If you can give me the stack trace and the code in you InitDialog function I could try and find out.

Hi....
My code is pasted here below.I developed this in VS 2005, type of project: MFC Application(.exe)

I would like to see the code where the actual crash happens.
I'm guessing this is the code where the dialog or form view is being initialized.

Hi.....
Thnx for the reply.I have pasted the code below from dlgcore.cpp.The code fails at function CreateDlgIndirect.Do have a look.
If possible plse create an MFC Application in VS 2005 and insert an active x control (MS FLEX GRD) and execute it.i think you might get the error "Debug Assertion failed", while executing the dialog.to remind, my system is a 64bit system .Thnx once again.Please do let me know if you get to know the problem.
thnx.

Hello,
I have two programs that run well independently. One controls motion, the other is for viewing with a webcam. Each is intended for a human operator.
I have c++ source code for the camera program.
I do not have source code for the motion controller but I do have c++ source code for a dll plugin for the motion controller. The plugin has the necessary functions.
I would like to add a feature to the camera program so that it calls a function in the motion controller plugin and gets the returned value.
How can I define a function in the motion controller plugin so that it is callable from the camera program?
What is this scenario called and what keywords will help me search for information or examples?

Presuming you're using Visual C++...
You want to use __declspec(dllexport) to define functions that are exported from the DLL and are thus callable from any other program (including the camera program). The best way to use it is like this:
- Declare the DLL's exported functions in a header file (note - replace THIS_FILE_H with some text representing the headers actual filename - THIS_FILE_H represents 'ThisFile.h'):
#ifndef __THIS_FILE_H__
#define __THIS_FILE_H__
#ifndef PLUGIN_API
#define PLUGIN_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
PLUGIN_API int DoSomething(int aParameter);
#endif // __THIS_FILE_H__
- Add a .cpp file to the plugin DLL project which defines the functions (
DoSomething in this case) you've exported. You need the following two lines in that file, BEFORE you define any of the functions (note: replace 'ThisFile.h' with whatever you called the header file in the previous step):
#define PLUGIN_API __declspec(dllexport)
#include "ThisFile.h" - In the camera program,
#include the header in the .cpp file where you want to call the plugin's functions. You also need to link the plugin's export library (a .lib file) to the camera program.
This page[^] has several useful links.

Hello Stuart,
I posted a reply about half an hour ago and it has not shown up on the forum. So I am experimenting to see if I used the wrong procedure to reply.

Hello Stuart,
Well, I guess my first reply to you is lost in cyberspace. I'll try again.
BTW, I am using c++ in Visual Studio 2003.
The procedure that you suggest makes sense to me. I also used some of the keywords to find help topics. These also agreed. However, as you well know, the devil is in the details.
I am getting two warnings and cannot figure out why. Below are my brief header and cpp files and the warnings. What am I missing? Ignore the third warning.
I would not normally worry about a couple of warnings but I am also having errors compiling the calling program. So I am wondering what I need to specify to create the library here and how to import it at the calling end.

You've got a semi-colon at the end of #define PLUGIN_API __declspec(dllexport)<span style="font-weight: bold;">;</span> - you don't want that.
Also - you don't need to use PLUGIN_API in the cpp file - doesn't hurt, but it's not required.

Hello Stuart,
Thanx for catching that semicolon.
All compile and run ok.
In DoubleIt() I have added a call to the motion control EXE program for which the plugin is written and by which the plugin has been loaded. This new DoubleIt() works ok when called from elsewhere within the plugin but not when it is called from the vision control EXE program.
When the plugin function is called from the vision control EXE I get the message "The instruction at "0x0000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be read."
This only occurs if the called plugin function is trying to call a function in its parent EXE. BTW, I get that same error message if the DLL is not loaded at all.
I think that the called plugin function is not exactly the same as the one that is loaded with the DLL. I am guessing that all the pointers must be found in memory as needed.
How do I setup the compiler options so that the vision control EXE program can call the motion control EXE program via the motion control's DLL plugin. Or perhaps directly from the vision control EXE to the motion control EXE since the motion control EXE program must have used dllexport so that the plugin can call motion control functions.

Tom Hubin wrote: How do I setup the compiler options so that the vision control EXE program can call the motion control EXE program via the motion control's DLL plugin
Nothing to do with compiler options, I suspect. I guess the plugin is expecting the executable that loads it to provide certain capabilities - there must be some defined mechanism by which it knows the addresses of the functions in the EXE.
Tom Hubin wrote: motion control EXE program must have used dllexport so that the plugin can call motion control functions
Not necessarily - there might be some other mechanism by which the plugin can get function addresses.
I feel you're on your own, I'm afraid - if there's a specification for the plugin interface, that might define how you get the exe function addresses?

Create a named event in the plugin and wait on that event to become set.
When the event becomes set, call the required function.
From the camera program set the event when needed.
You may want to look at CreateEvent and SetEvent.

Hi all,
i have an CListCtrl, i m sort it according to diffrent columns in acsending or decsending order.
i want to set up and down arrow on list header according to sorting.
please explain me with example.
how can i do this.
thanks in advance.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;
not only plan, but also believe.

You can modify the header text .. Does it make sense??
Regards,
Sandip.
|

|

The way it's done in the sorted list view control in the WTL library[^] is to use the hbm member of the HDITEM[^] attribute of the header of the sorted column to set an up arrow or down arrow bitmap for the header. If you tell the bitmap to be to the right of the header's text, you'll get the effect you're wanting.
The bitmaps are available in shell32.dll as image resources 133 and 134.
You can learn a lot about this by looking at the implementation of CSortListViewImpl in the file atlctrlx.h in WTL...
The SetSortColumn method of this class shows how to set the bitmaps correctly, while the CreateSortBitmaps method shows how to create the bitmaps.

i dont know what his problem is, but i have similar issue with InvalidateRect when when i was creating a control in win32, i tried RedrawWindow also but not worked. I solved issue by using the following code.
HWND hParent = GetParent( hChildControl ) ;
InvalidateRect( hParent , &rChildRect , TRUE ) ;

What kind of child was that? I mean was it a static control? What was its class styles?
