Why can't you just send the listbox a LB_DIR message?

Hi all,
I'm embarking on a fairly complex project (I know. Please don't say simply "Google for it". I already did).
What I want is to implement an OLE DB layer between a physical DB (connection via standard OLE DB interface) and a client application.
The aim is to implement row level security and additional functions (such as logging) in the OLE DB layer.
So the architecture should be like this (top-down):
Client Application <- Ole DB consumer application (MFC, .NET, Excel...)<br />
-----------------------<br />
OLE DB Provider <- On the client. Dumb connection to my service via the Network layer<br />
-----------------------<br />
<br />
Network layer <- I really don't know how to pass through this<br />
<br />
-----------------------<br />
OLE DB Consumer/Provider service <- This should be on a network server. Here I'm implementing row level security. This service acts as an OLE DB consumer for the DB and exposes data to the client.<br />
-----------------------<br />
Physical DB <- Any OLE DB-compliant database (mainly SQL Server or Oracle)<br />
-----------------------
My question is: what is the best way to implement the Network layer?
I found an OLE DB Remoting Provider by Microsoft, but seems outdated and not supported ATM. If using this, I should implement OLE DB Provider interfaces into the Service on the server.
Any suggestions?

When our application is used on a Japanese system, we are encountering a DBCS problem. When entering text into one of the edit controls, there may be several instances of the shift-out/shift-in pair intermingled with "normal" text. For example:
SoXXXXXXSiXSoXXXXXXSi
When I call GetTextLength() on this text, it returns 13. If this text is saved to a text file (e.g., using Notepad since it's all I can understand on a Japanese system), the size is reported as 13 (I guess the 2 SoSi pair did not get saved). Now for the problem: when I send this text and its length (13) to the AS/400 system for processing, it complains about a mismatched SoSi pair. Debugging on the AS/400 end, we can change the length to 17 and it works fine. I've no clue how to handle this. If the above example were doubled, then GetTextLength() would return 26, yet we'd have to change the value to 34 in order for it to work.
Any clues?

GetTextLength() is returning the length in characters.
How are you determining the number of bytes to write to the file?
For DBCS, length in characters is not the same as length in bytes.

You've considered using Unicode, I assume?
If not, you may have to write your own strlen, hunting from the start to a terminating zero, to get the number of bytes.

I'm not. I just paste the text into Notepad and save it.
Graham Bradshaw wrote: You've considered using Unicode, I assume?
Yes, but I've read nothing thus far that says it would solve the problem. The application is 10+ years old so retooling it for Unicode would be no small undertaking.

Save it how? Which encoding did you select?

The Save option from the File menu.
Graham Bradshaw wrote: Which encoding did you select?
Once as ANSI (13 bytes) and another as UTF-8 (22 bytes).

So the text isn't 13 bytes long. It's more than that (UTF-8 encoding is not the same as DCBS, so the length of the ex-Notepad file is not relevant).
DavidCrow wrote: when I send this text and its length (13) to the AS/400 system for processing, it complains about a mismatched SoSi pair.
And that 13 is surely the problem. You need to send the length in bytes to the AS/400, together with all the text, not the length in characters. This assumes, of course, that the AS/400 understands DBCS encoding.

How do I go about doing this (since WM_GETTEXTLENGTH is giving me the latter)?
Graham Bradshaw wrote: This assumes, of course, that the AS/400 understands DBCS encoding.
It does. That's why it works (i.e., no data is lost) when I manually change the text length during debugging.

You're working in C++?
If so, you must have a pointer to the start of the character buffer, so you can send it to the AS/400. Just hunt through byte by byte until you hit a zero, counting as you go.

The only way I know to calculate the number of bytes of DBCS string in a given encoding is:
1. Translate the string to Unicode (MultiByteToWideChar)
2. Translate the Unicode string to the previous encoding (WideCharToMultiByte) this function return the size of DBCS string in bytes.
This work (in all the case that I know of)  .
Good luck.

Hi,
I want to create GroupBox on dialog box dynamically, can any one help me how to do that..?
Thanks
Venkatesh.

Group boxes are actually buttons with the BS_GROUPBOX[^] style set. I hope that helps.

I use visual studio 2005 MFC dialog based
I try to use these method to help but it doesn't give me a correct position.
void CMy3DGUIDlg::OnStnClickedPic1()
{
CWnd* prnt = GetDlgItem(IDC_PIC1);
CPoint p1;
GetCursorPos(&p1);
ClientToScreen(&p1);
prnt->ScreenToClient(&p1);
CDC *pdc = prnt->GetDC();
pdc->MoveTo(0,0);
pdc->LineTo(p1.x,p1.y);
}
Thank you for helping

Position of what? 
Have you tried GetMessagePos()?

There you have use mouse related events...

See the documentation of GetCursorPos[^], it tells you:
Retrieves the cursor's position, in screen coordinates.
z01e wrote: GetCursorPos(&p1);
ClientToScreen(&p1);
With this you are getting the cursor position in screen coordinates and then you are converting it to screen cordinates.

so what function should i use to get coordinate in picture control?
p.s. sorry ,i'm very newbie for mfc. It would be kind if you could explain clearly.
Thank you
|

Well, you can either try this (using GetMessagePos()[^] as DavidCrow already suggested):
CPoint Pt(GetMessagePos());
or
POINT Pt;
GetCursorPos(&Pt);
picture_control.ScreenToClient(&Pt);

thank you very much Code-o-mat.
and how can i keep these lines after i draw because in just a few second
all lines are disappear.

I'm not sure what you mean, but if my guess is correct, you are drawing onto the picture control with the mouse. In this case, you will either have to remember what lines you have drawn, this aproach is more complicated, or simply, draw ONTO the bitmap in memory also, not just the window, this is probably easier done. Create a memory DC, select the bitmap into it and use MoveTo/LineTo to draw your lines. Don't forget to clean up after you are done drawing.
