I cant find a full example of using GetSaveFileName, and how I can then get the file name from that (which I assumed was supposed to be passed by reference back to me?)

Have you come across an article that might help? Effectively, All i want to achieve is

Click Save as button -> GetSaveFileName()

CreateFile(filename);

but I don't know how to get the file name from the dialogue.

OMG I dispare! The reason it wasn't working is because I'm a moron....I mean because I wasn't adding .xml to the end of the supplied file name in the gui. Doh!

No wait, maybe it was something else....Here is the working code for any searching people:

char buffer[256]={""};
char tmp[256]={""};
tmp[0] = '\0';
GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE", buffer, sizeof(buffer));

OPENFILENAME _openfile;
ZeroMemory(&_openfile, sizeof(OPENFILENAME));
_openfile.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
_openfile.hwndOwner = GetFocus();
_openfile.lpstrFilter = "Extensible Markup Language (*.xml)";
_openfile.lpstrFile = tmp;
_openfile.nMaxFile = sizeof(tmp)/sizeof(*tmp);
_openfile.lpstrFileTitle = "Save As ...";
_openfile.lCustData = (DWORD)NULL;
_openfile.lpstrInitialDir = strcat(buffer, "\\Desktop\\"); /*virtalis_diagnostic_info.xml");*/
_openfile.lpstrDefExt = "xml";

bool success = false;
success = GetSaveFileName(&_openfile);
DWORD error = CommDlgExtendedError();

HANDLE file = CreateFile((LPTSTR)_openfile.lpstrFile,
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, CREATE_NEW, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);

I hope this helps some idot n00b like myself!

Dont send error message occured only once

In VC++,
When the Application is installed and opened for the first time and after performing Test in the panel and report(Report tab- it has been created based upon excel tab view) is viewed and while going back to the any test panel ABC.exe – Application error is coming and application gets quited once OK is given in that error message or Dont send error message is occureed.
It has been occurred only once. Again i have uninstalled and installed the application. I have executed the same sequence, but the error has not occurred for the next time. I have installed and uninstalled the application for 10 times, but the problem occurred only one. it is not occurring every time. i have stored all reports in the file.
In Report panel, i get the last test report and will be displayed.

Please give me the solution for this problem.

it is in MFC.

My application is causing problems now and again, but only after creating setup mode so I am having
trouble finding the cause of it.

"The instruction at "0x73dd1351" referenced at "0x00000004". The memory could not be "read".

above is message I receive when the crash happens.

Any suggestions on how I may go about finding this little blighter!

The strange thing is that I may try it 100 time and it works fine, or 9 times and get error on 10th.
There really is no pattern to it. The code is doing the same thing with the same hardcoded data
each time. Sometimes yeah but sometimes no

Hi all,

I have made a Regular dll using shared mfc dll in that dll i have made a generic class in that class i have made a function SayHello

in .cpp file
CString CMyClass::SayHello(CString str)
{
	return (_T("Hello") + str);
}
in .h file
_declspec(dllimport) CString SayHello(CString str);

now i want to call this function in my clients application.

i have copied its .dll file and .lib file in applications debug folder.

and in properties\Linker\input\Additional Dependencies\..\Debug\MyDll.lib

now in code

HINSTANCE hDll = ::LoadLibrary(_T("MyDll.dll"));

now i want to call SayHello Function

How to do it?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

U have won half of the battle . Now all you need to do is call GetProcAddress() see here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683212(VS.85).aspx[^] and then you will have to use the function pointer of your method to call your function.

Hi All,

I have a member variable of data type double.
Following is the variable
double m_Value [7] [3];

Now I have to do the declaration by using vectors.
so how I will declare it.
I have to Initialize it by 0 also..........

Thanks

Hi deadlyabbas,

const int ROW = 7;     // Row
const int COLUMN = 3;  // Column

// same as - double m_Value [7] [3]; initialized with 0.0
// vector can be initialized by - vector<type>( size, DefaultValue );
vector< vector<double> > m_Value( ROW, vector<double>( COLUMN, 0.0 ));

Best Regards,
Jijo.

Thanks Jijo.
But the issue with this is that I am not able to make declaration and definition separately.
If I do it like this in .h file

vector<vector <double>> m_Value;

and in .cpp file I do this

m_value(10,vector(3,0.0));

It gave me an error which says
error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 2 arguments

You should be able to do this using the constructor initialization list.

MyClass.h file

class CMyClass
{
private:
    vector< vector<double> > m_Value;
};

MyClass.cpp

CMyClass::CMyClass() : m_Value(ROW, vector<double>( COLUMN, 0.0 ))
{
}

Find out Build Configuration from exe

Hi,

Is there anyway to find out in which build configuration it was built from an exe?!!

Thanks for any help!!

Hi Maya,

The PE format is documented here:

Microsoft Portable Executable and Common Object File Format Specification[^]

You can check the IMAGE_FILE_HEADER section[^] of the COFF header for the IMAGE_FILE_DEBUG_STRIPPED flag. Here is an example:

BOOL IsDebugImage(LPTSTR szPath)
{
	BOOL bRet = FALSE;
	HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(szPath,GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL);
	if(NULL != hFile)
	{
		LARGE_INTEGER bigInt;
		if(TRUE == GetFileSizeEx(hFile, &bigInt))
		{
			HANDLE hFileMap = CreateFileMapping(hFile,NULL,PAGE_READWRITE,bigInt.HighPart,bigInt.LowPart + 0x2000 ,NULL);
			if(NULL != hFileMap)
			{
				LPVOID hMap = MapViewOfFile(hFileMap,FILE_MAP_READ,0,0,0);
				if(NULL != hMap)
				{
					HMODULE hModule = (HMODULE)hMap;
					IMAGE_DOS_HEADER * pDosHeader = (IMAGE_DOS_HEADER *)hModule;
					IMAGE_FILE_HEADER * pFileHeader = (IMAGE_FILE_HEADER *)(((LPBYTE)hModule) + pDosHeader->e_lfanew + sizeof(IMAGE_NT_SIGNATURE));	
					
					bRet =  !(pFileHeader->Characteristics &IMAGE_FILE_DEBUG_STRIPPED);
					
					UnmapViewOfFile(hFileMap);
				}
				CloseHandle(hFileMap);
			}
		}
		CloseHandle(hFile);
	}
	return bRet;
}

How does file mapping compare to using ReadFile() to read the header information?

Re: Find out Build Configuration from exe

Randor 17-Nov-09 11:21

Randor

17-Nov-09 11:21

Hi DavidCrow,

The difference is that CreateFileMapping will load the entire executable into virtual memory. Using CreateFile/ReadFile will probably map an executable into the pagefile up to the allocation granularity of the system which is 64K on a 32 bit NT OS depending on which CreateFile flags have been used.

Typically when I iterate through PE sections and read data I use CreateFileMapping for performance reasons. Although for simply checking the IMAGE_FILE_DEBUG_STRIPPED flag a series of ReadFile calls would be sufficient.

At any rate... a code sample is exactly that. It is a code sample.

-David Delaune

Hi David,

I have another question on this. The method you have given tells us whether the image is a debug image or release image, if im not wrong. Is there any way to find out in which specific 'release build configuration' the image was built?? Like ReleaseMinSize or ReleaseMinDependency??

I went through the links that you provided but couldnt find a way. Please do let me know if theres any way to find this. Appreciate your help Smile | :)

Regards,
Maya

Hi Maya,

The terms ReleaseMinSize and ReleaseMinDependency are only words to describe a dynamic set of compiler options. There is nothing preventing you from choosing ReleaseMinSize inside Visual Studio and making it identical to a Debug build.

In fact... in Visual Studio you can create your own build setting. For example:

1.) Choose Build from the Visual Studio system menu.
2.) Choose 'Configuration Manager' from the drop down menu.
3.) In the 'Active Solution Configuration' combobox choose 'New'
4.) Observe that you can create a new build configuration and name it anything you wish.

You can detect the following for example:

1.) You can detect if the PE image has debug information.
2.) You can test for a specific dependency such as CRT or MFC dynamic linkage.

There are all sorts of other possibilities but you need to realize that the words ReleaseMinSize and ReleaseMinDependency are dynamic and have no specific meaning to the MSVC compiler.

Can you tell me exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

16-Nov-09 20:24

Dear all,

I have problem.
What kind of dll that can store some functions and variables, and register it to windows runtime?

So that, I can execute (install) that dll from Windows Explorer and when I want store a value, say it name, I just write on my program:

data.name

without any declaration of Class Data.

And if I have a function in that class, say it write, I just write on my program :

data.write

Furthermore, write function will get value from variable name with another variables.

Please help me...

Thanks b4,
