I don't know if it is possible in ADO, you need to get the IJetCompact interface and call its Compact method. It is dead easy using OLE DB:

<br />
CDataSource src;<br />
// ... open data source ...<br />
<br />
CComPtr<IJetCompact> spCompact;<br />
hr = src.m_spInit->QueryInterface(IID_IJetCompact, (void **) &spCompact);<br />
<br />
CDBPropSet init(DBPROPSET_DBINIT);<br />
init.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE, "compacted.mdb");<br />
<br />
hr = spCompact->Compact(1, &init);<br />
// database is repaired and compacted to "compact.mdb"<br />

You can use CDaoDatabase from MFC to do it easily enough. Not sure about ADO though Frown | :(

Custom compiler steps...

This is probably a stupid question (I haven't had much sleep in the past 3 days).

How can I tell Visual C++ to perform an extra step when compiling each .cpp file. What I want to do is basically what BoundsChecker does when you perform a compile. You see "compiling something.cpp" followed by a line reading "instrumenting something.cpp".

I know about custom build steps but I can't seem to get this to do what I want???

global variables

Hi All.. I have a global variable CArray < struct, struct&> a; declared in the same place as theApp global variable get declared.

I know if I want to use the global variable include in the other .cpp files, I have to call that global in such way
extern CArray<struct,struct&> a;

Then I Rebuild the project, Iand got linking error...
[code]
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class CArray<struct dishinfo,struct="" dishinfo="" &=""> theMenu" (?theMenu@@3V?$CArray@UDishInfo@@AAU1@@@A)
Debug/ResturantSystem.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
[/code]

why do i get error??

First of all, to fix this problem, declare the variable extern in your stdafx.h, and declare it in stdafx.cpp. Voila, visible everywhere.

Secondly, DON'T do this. Global variables are a terrible idea. If you must, then at least put them in a namespace. It's far better to make them members of your main window and access them that way.

Finally, you should investigate std::vector, check out the STL articles here on CP. CArray is really a terrible product, and is generally used by people who either don't know about the STL, or are put off by the awful docs in the MSDN. I've solved problem a, and the articles on this site will fix problem b. I think you'll be surprised how much nicer/powerful it is than the stuff that MFC ships.

whats wrong with my string?
I am trying to find a record in a database where one parameter is partially given ( LIKE 'm_val'). I don't get any database errors, but no info either.

CString m_cat, m_val;

// Build the SQL statement
SqlString = "SELECT * "
"FROM new WHERE cat='";

SqlString += m_cat;
SqlString += "' AND filename LIKE '";
SqlString += m_val;
SqlString += "*'";

Any helps really appreciated

I believe the wildcard character is %, that is, I know % works, but I've never tried *. Do your values start with m_val, the ones you expect to find ? Are they in the table called 'new', and in the 'filename' column ?

I find the best way to isolate this sort of problem is to build the query. Do a select *, a select cat, a select * where cat equals a known to be present value, etc.

WINVER puzzle

Antosha24-Nov-02 12:00

24-Nov-02 12:00

On MSDN, in documenation for API structures, the following examples are common:

typedef struct _RASDIALPARAMS {
DWORD dwSize;
TCHAR szEntryName[RAS_MaxEntryName + 1];
TCHAR szPhoneNumber[RAS_MaxPhoneNumber + 1];
TCHAR szCallbackNumber[RAS_MaxCallbackNumber + 1];
TCHAR szUserName[UNLEN + 1];
TCHAR szPassword[PWLEN + 1];
TCHAR szDomain[DNLEN + 1] ;

#if (WINVER >= 0x401)
DWORD dwSubEntry;
DWORD dwCallbackId;
#endif
} RASDIALPARAMS;

Apparently (WINVER >= 0x401) refers to Windows NT 4.0 with enhancements and on this platform, the last 2 entries are required. However, Windows 98, whose version is 4.10 doesn't require them ...

Isn't 4.10 > 4.01? Or am I not understanding something?

Thanks

Drive Properties

Does anyone know of a function/routine to tell me how many files are on a disk drive? Can't find anything in MSDN.

Re: Drive Properties

Dominik Reichl24-Nov-02 8:43

I would use the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.
You specify "*" as filter and then count the files. This way you also can count only specific files with specific extensions, or only count directories.

I don't know of any function which directly returns the number of files on a drive.

Thanks for the help. I thought of also doing that but it would be pointless since I need this number to be set for a progress bar which is active during searching of the hard drive for files so it kind of defeats the purpose of doing that twice...any other ideas?

Re: Drive Properties

Dominik Reichl25-Nov-02 1:15

Dominik Reichl

25-Nov-02 1:15

Another idea:

First step: Get the used size on the disk (capacity minus free space). Use this function:

BOOL GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(<br />
  LPCTSTR lpDirectoryName,                 // pointer to the directory name<br />
  PULARGE_INTEGER lpFreeBytesAvailableToCaller, // receives the number of bytes on<br />
                                                // disk available to the caller<br />
  PULARGE_INTEGER lpTotalNumberOfBytes,    // receives the number of bytes on disk<br />
  PULARGE_INTEGER lpTotalNumberOfFreeBytes // receives the free bytes on disk<br />
);

Second step: Every time you process a file, subtract its size from the space.

Now you can compute the remaining bytes to process. Set this into relation and make a nice status bar.

Sorry to bother again but I seem to be running into a problem with the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function:

This is what i used:

GetDiskFreeSpaceEx("c:\\", &iFreeBytes, &iTotalBytes, &iTotalFreeBytes);

and these were my results:

iFreeBytes = 1711489024
iTotalBytes = 0
iTotalFreeBytes = 1697718272

Can't really figure out the problem...right clicking on drive c in explorer gives me freebytes as above (the first arguement) and for the drive capacity i have 5,992,685,568 bytes. Is there anything that I'm overlooking?
