Why gethostbyaddr() doesn't work for dial-up client?

28-Oct-02 21:33

In order to know whether a dial-up client is still
connected to the server, i use gethostbyaddr() passed with client's IP
(which is dynamic)in the server program to
check (this is for the case that the client closes(or
drops accidentally) the dial-up connection without
closing the socket connection in advance; if client closes
the socket connection, the server is able to know that).
But i get error with code 11004, which i believe is
something about dababase. My question is: can i use
gethostbyaddr() in the server program to check client's
abnormal disconnetion? if so, what's wrong with my method?
if not, what would be the proper way?

Thanks a lot!

no. check if the socket is still connected

In the Unix world, you'd use select(). In windows you can use the same API, select()[^] or WSAAsyncSelect()[^].

Using plain old select(), you'd test your exceptfds' with the FD_ISSET() macro to check if an exception occured with a socket.

Alternatively, you could just send() or recv() from the socket and check the return value of WSAGetLastError() for what you need.

NOTE: The Microsoft Berkley Socket implementation send() and recv() block, the WSA equivalents provide several alternatives which allow sending a message to a window when socket events occur (probably a better bet for you, if you aren't too deep with Unix-style sockets.)

Edit control question

I have for the last few hours hacked endlessly at the CEdit control...i'v subclassed the control in question and tried overriding it's message handling switch code with my own and I still can't quite get it do do things that I want without serious overhaul...

Syntax hilighting, line numbers and such...

Anyways my quesiton is this...I need a editor to work on relativley small files...all web based langs like PHP,ASP,HTML,XML,JScript all of which I always try and make smaller than 64K in size (including comments) I find it's hard for me to keep organized when files grow larger than this anyways...

Sorry I went off topic there a bit...

My question: ( I already am familiar with the classes available on CP )

Because I wanna make the assumption no more memory than 64K
or I guess 65535(FFFF) bytes will ever be needed would it be acceptable for me to do the following for memory allocation...? Sure it wastes memory sometimes, but I don't think it'll get fragmented because it's prolly all allocated in one linear array of bytes...

char m_arrBytes[0xFFFF];

I would prefer to use this instead of new/delete or malloc and similar c functions...

No need to ever worry about leaks...no fragmentation...

I'm just wondering if I maybe missed something...other than extensibility...remember i'm very confident that FFFF bytes is enough for all web based project files. Besides it would force good programming practice (IMO) keeping your files small Smile | :)

Opinions...???

despite the fact i'm prety dead set on using this approach...perhaps you can change my mind if you bring something to my attention I didn't already know..

Then I would really appreciate your help... Big Grin | :-D

Thanx!

None...thats it...I wasn't looking for answers just opinions...if you know something I don't or that maybe I missed...I would just like to hear it...

Like maybe:

char m_arrBytes[0xFFFF];

can get fragmented under certain circumstances...I dunno although I seriously 100% dought it

This is all I wanted to know Smile | :)

How to copy data within first text file to second text file (use CStdioFile)

Now I can write data from program to text file by using WriteString() and SeekToEnd().
So I want to write program to copy all data within first text file to second text file by using CStdioFile

Do you know how to do that?
Thank you for your answer. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

These below is some part of my program to write data from program to text file by using CStioFile

outp_filename = m_uniquecodeFileName;<br />
<br />
	CStdioFile EncryptedUniqueCode;<br />
	CFileException FileExc;<br />
	UINT nOpenFlags;<br />
	CString szTemp, m_string;<br />
	nOpenFlags = CFile::modeWrite;<br />
	if (!EncryptedUniqueCode.Open(outp_filename, nOpenFlags, &FileExc)) {<br />
	FileExc.ReportError();<br />
	return;<br />
	}<br />
	EncryptedUniqueCode.SeekToEnd();<br />
<br />
           // m_string has some value<br />
                     .<br />
                     .<br />
                     .<br />
<br />
	EncryptedUniqueCode.WriteString(m_string+'\n');<br />
<br />
	EncryptedUniqueCode.Close();

If you open one file with an ifstream and the other with an ofstream, you can use getline to read the file a line at a time and then copy it into the new file. Something like:

#include <iostream>;
#include <string>;

...

std::ifstream input("c:\input.txt");
std::ofstream output("c:\input.txt");
std::string s;

while (std::getline(input, s))
{
output << s << std::endl;
}

But that is off the top of my head with no error checking, etc.

This is more efficient (no parsing needed):

ifstream ifs("in.txt");
ofstream ofs("out.txt");

ofs<<ifs.rdbuf();

Anyway, I think there's no compelling reason not to use ::CopyFile instead.

CFormView and CTabCtrl :: MFC

valikac28-Oct-02 18:06

Hi.

I have a formview with a tab control. Basically, I would like the formview to show different objects depending on which tab the user activates. I have considered using a lot of if/else and enable/disable the objects, but CTabCtrl is a more elegant solution. Thus I am designing the program around CTabCtrl.

There are three formview classes and one tab control.

ViewMain
theTab
ViewChild1
ViewChild2

I added theTab in formview ViewMain. There is not problem there. However, now I cannot figure out how to correspond ViewChild1 and ViewChild2 to the theTab.

I would like to know, Is it valid to create the two childviews from CFormView? If yes, given the design described above, How do you correspond the two childviews to the CTabCtrl object?

Thanks,
Kuphryn

I've found it. I added two event handlers:

1. one for WM_SETFOCUS
2. one for WM_KILLFOCUS

My intention is that when my dialog application loses focus, the dialog will become more transparent. When the dialog gets focused, the dialog becomes more opaque.

But it seems that my dialog does not respond to the event WM_SETFOCUS and WM_KILLFOCUS for some reason. Are these two events for controls only? But from MSDN, it seems that these two messages are generic "windows" message. And a dialog is a window...?? And I dont want to use mouse leave event neither...
