If it's a handle to a window, you can call IsWindow().
For other handles and Win98 compatibility, you could use DuplicateHandle() and check the error returns (don't forget to close the duplicated handle if successful.)

I'd like to detect the folder (path) where a my application is running
and put the data in a string. - Can somebody give me some suggestion
(without using the system() funcion)? - Thanks - giovanni.

If you mean the path where your .exe is located, you can use a function:
GetModuleFileName(...), where you put your exe module instance handle and retrieve the whole path including the exe module ("c:\windows\notepad.exe"). Then you have to simply strip the exe name and voila you have path.
If you mean the current directory for process, use GetCurrentDirectory()

geo_m is completely right. But I would add little remark: you can pass NULL to GetModuleFileName() to retrieve your app path. It's easier to use. Especially it is important to pass NULL when you get AppPath from DLL.
How to cut filedir from path? All functions for manipulating with filenames are placed in shlwapi.h. Their names are beginning from "Path" word. For example: PathFindFileName (Searches a path for a file name). Also you can use C++ function _splitpath
|
|
|
|
|
An example:
char szDrive[_MAX_DRIVE];
char szDir[_MAX_DIR];
char szFileName[_MAX_FNAME];
char szExt[_MAX_EXT];
char szBuffer[_MAX_PATH];
// get path of executable
GetModuleFileName(NULL, szBuffer, _MAX_PATH);
// split into parts, to get the Path
const char* pFilePath = szBuffer;
_splitpath(pFilePath, szDrive, szDir, szFileName, szExt);
CString strPath;
strPath.Format("%s%s", szDrive, szDir);
TRACE("File Path is %s\n", strPath);

I came across a math problem that i have no clue how to write a program for it.
It says to arrange the numbers 1 through 30 so that the sum of any 2 consecutive integers is a perfect square (i.e. 4,16,25,36,49...). I found what i think is a small pattern
15 1 24
14 2 23
13 3 22
12 4 21
11 5 20
30 6 19
29 7 18
28 8 17
27 9 16
26 10 25
but anyways, i need to know how to write a prog. that will either arrange these sets of numbers or arrange 1-30 the right way. I would really appreciate help on this one
thanks

Arranging as circle or floating from the ends?
RJS

|

well, im sort of a newb. basically, just have the numbers be arranged any way possible to make any 2 integers added together a perfect square.
like,
15,1,24,12,4,21
i dont really know how to explain it anymore

When you say *need* to know, is this something you have personal need for, or is it your homework ?
Think about what you want the program to do. How would you do it manually ?

You must modify my previous code by adding to each "for" loop (start from j2 loop) in "if" statment the following statment: || !Check(jx,jy)
where jx is the current loop, and jy is the previous loop. e.g.
for(int j2=1;j2<31;j2++){if(j2==j1 || !Check(j1,j2))continue;
Hence,you can reduce the running time from few weeks to few seconds !!

I have this code in my program:
Tmp = theApp.Directory + "\\WulframAutoUpdater.exe";<br />
Both Tmp and Directory are CString's, and directory have a directory location in it. But, for some reason, Tmp is set to "\\WulframAutoUpdater.exe", without the directory string. Why is it doing that?
Thanks!
|
|

Obvious question - have you traced in with the debugger and established that theApp.Directory is a CString with a value in it at the point that this code executes ?

Yep, first thing I did 
What makes this problem even more weird, is that in most other parts of my program, CString adding operations like that work! It's just in that spot, and a couple other spots that that weird problem happens. I finally got tired of having to manually add using strcat, and that's why I posted this problem here.

|
|

HAve you broken it up ? I'd sprinkle the code with AfxMessageBoxes and build the string in two steps, an = and a +=, and see what I got.

Yeah, I'd try to do it as
theApp.Directory ++ "\\WulframAutoUpdater.exe";
tmp = theApp.Directory;
If that didn't work then god knows, I've never noticed problems like this before. Hope you get it working.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, I re-arranged it like so:
Tmp = theApp.Directory;<br />
Tmp += "\\WulframAutoUpdater.exe";
It still doesn't work, but stepping into the CSimpleString source tells me that for some reason, GetData() doesn't get the right data, even when the "this" pointer in the class is the right data! I replaced the first line with "Tmp = "Test";", and that works fine. I've also gone through my code for the variable "Directory", and everytime I use it I use .GetBuffer(200). (I've had weird problems before from forgettting to use that function)
|
|
|
|
|
theApp.Directory is definitely empty. You can confirm /deny this by doing ASSERT (!theApp.Directory.IsEmpty()); before the first statement.

I did this:
char *Loc = new char[200];<br />
<br />
ASSERT(!theApp.Directory.IsEmpty()); <br />
strcpy(Loc,theApp.Directory.GetBuffer(200));<br />
It does assert, BUT, when I move the mouse over Directory, the tooltip shows that it isn't empty, and the directory is properly copied into Loc!

So theApp.Directory contains no chars OR someone (you?) really messed up the internal bookkeeping of the CString. You use CString::ReleaseBuffer()properly?

I know that it's my fault; I just need to figure out WHAT is my fault
ReleaseBuffer()? Ummm, didn't know about that function  . Would that cause these errors?
When you pause the debugger, moving the mouse over different variables shows their contents in a tooltip. Very useful for debugging
