Just try to open the file with the CreateFile API function, with the GENERIC_READ and the FILE_SHARE_READ flag.
It is possible, that the file is opened by the system (Internet Explorer, etc.) without any FILE_SHARE_??? flag, so that you are not allowed to open the file!

No, but the Temporary Internet Folder is a special in that the actual files are stored differently. There are subdirectories underneath it that the files are stored in. Take a look using a command prompt and you'll see what I mean.

There are APIs for getting the filename of files in the IE cache. One is RetrieveUrlCacheEntryFile() - pass it the URL and the function will return the name of the cached copy, if there is one.

Still can't work, because of datatype casting.
suppose, I want to send two parameters, one is BYTE* m_pByte, the other, int m_nLen. Then, I use PostThreadMessage Like this,
<br />
::PostThreadMessage(m_threadID,WM_DATA_ARRIVAL,(WPARAM)m_pByte,(LPARAM)m_nLen);
Now I use GetMessage() to get the message (here is WM_DATA_ARRIVAL) as well as m_pByte and m_nLen,
<br />
...<br />
MSG msg;<br />
while(::GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0,0))<br />
{<br />
switch(msg.message)<br />
{<br />
case WM_RXD_ARRIVAL:<br />
AfxMessageBox(msg.lParam);<br />
break;<br />
default:<br />
break;<br />
<br />
};<br />
};<br />
...

Is m_pByte a pointer to a NULL terminated string?
If so, try
AfxMessageBox((LPCTSTR) msg.wParam);
or if m_pByte is no pointer to a NULL terminated string try
...
CString str;
str.Empty();
...
BYTE* pByte = (BYTE*) msg.wParam;
...
for (int n = 0; n < msg.lParam; n++)
{
str += (char) *pByte;
pByte++;
}
...
AfxMessageBox(str);
...

I got random code!
I accept data from comm port, it's should be bytes, but after cast into CString, it's just random code, just like Japaness Characters or Tranditional Chinese Characters.
what's wrong?
thanks alot.

I have changed the code in my reply! I hope it works!
The bytes you received from the com, are they realy printable bytes?
Just look on the pointer pByte with your debugger and you will see what you received!

try formatting it into an array of chars or a CString before doing the message box, See CString::Format or sprintf for that

Hi,
I've got to develop an application thats something like drawing circiuts over the screen. please suggest a method. thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
If you want draw your circiuts, etc. very fast use OpenGL or DirectX, also GDI+ is a very good choice!

You need to read about device contexts (DCs).
These are used to access the screen, and hand you draw commands over to the graphics card driver.
There are a lot of methods for drawing, coloring, writing text etc.

I have an MFC application built around a CView Class. However, now I need to create a .NET form and have no idea how to make sure it is properly parented within the application. Any ideas? Examples?

I want to send the boss an update of my work.
How does one go about compiling a mfc project so that the .exe can be run on any machine?
I'm running VC++6 Professional edition on Win2K.
thanks,

I tried this, but when the program executes, it returns error message saying missing dll files.
|
|
|
|
|
If the DLLs are named things like MFCxxxD.DLL, then you have not built a release version, but a debug version. In the "Build/Set Active Configuration", you should probably have "proj - Win32 Debug" and "proj - Win32 Release", it's the release you should select, then do a Rebuild All.
You can also use the Depends tool to see what DLLs your exe needs.
It's possible that there is no MFC release runtime on the other machine, but unlikely.

Go to your project settings. Select "Use MFC in a static library". Rebuild all. Your exe will be bigger, but you won't need to include the mfc dll's.

Hello,
INTRODUCTION:
I create Numerical Controls with a specially desgined soft in order to do that.
This soft has a special function that I can call in order to know the value of the variable passed as a parameter.
I can create a timer in order to check continuously the value of it's variable but I think that this is not a very effective way to do it...
QUESTION:
Can I create an event (CreateEvent(...)) that look for the change of that variable and then wait for that change (WaitForSingleObject(...))?
I have to do this mechanism for 40 variables (more or less) but I have no clue of where to begin, which do you think that can be the best solution?
As always thank you in advance.

You can't specifically wait for a change in a value of a variable.
But, if create an event for each variable you want to monitor, you could trigger the event whenever you change the variable. This is very easy to implement if you encapsulate your variable as a protected member of a class, and only access it through accessor methods. here's an example
class CMyData
{
protected:
long m_lMyVar;
public:
long GetMyVar();
void SetMyVar(long lVal);
HANDLE m_hEvent;
CMyData();
}
CMyData::CMyData()
{
m_hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,FALSE,NULL);
long CMyData::GetMyVar()
{
return m_lMyVar;
}
void CMyData::SetMyVar(long lVal)
{
m_lMyVar = lVal;
SetEvent(m_hEvent);
}
.... then later on ....
if (WaitForSingleObject(mydataobj.m_hEvent, INFINITE) == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
}
Obviously, your app needs to be multi threaded, becuase if you enter the wait function in a single threaded app when the event is not set, your app will deadlock.

OK,
but I cannot set the value from the external software, I can only check that value from my VC++ app.
This means that I cannot set the event manually...
That software has some callback functions (in a dll) that I can access in order to get information of some kind of variables...
I want to simulate that behaviour:
I need to be able to know when some variables (in the external software) have changed and when this has happened fire an event...
As always thank you in advance...

Do you really mean callback? If the external softwares provides an API by which it can callback a function in your program, when the var is changed, then you're on to a winner.
But, if it doesn't then you are stuck.

Yes, I can do it only with variables with a phisical adress (that external software is intended to control machines and to create PLC and Numerical Control programs) and with those variables I can do it, but they don't allow me to do the same with the logical variables:
the ones that I use in order to process things: operations running, alarms active...
I want to reach those variables without check their state each x ms.
That's all...
And as I've seen that they have that function taht I can access, and program as a callback function in my VC++ app, then I've thought that it must be any other similar way to do the same from the other side:
Not being alerted by their callback and checking those changes in a better way than using a timer...
|
|
|
|
|
So if they are providing a facility whereby you can register a callback function, why don't you use that?
