Re: pointer to a function @deel@bbas5-Jul-01 20:11 @deel@bbas 5-Jul-01 20:11  As chris mentioned, the only way for this to work is by declaring your class member function as static. changing the cursor Alex Griffing5-Jul-01 18:09 Alex Griffing 5-Jul-01 18:09  Hi! I'm trying to set the mouse to a custom cursor while it's in the client window. I made a cursor with myhcur = CreateCursor(...) I tried SetCursor(myhcur), but it got immediately changed back to the normal arrow cursor. So then I tried changing the system cursor from arrow to my custom cursor, which I did with SetSystemCursor(myhcur, 32512). I used 32512 instead of OCR_NORMAL because the compiler thought it was an undefined symbol even when I'd included winuser.h. So now I have my own custom cursor instead of the arrow and everything works great. The problem is that I can't switch back. I've tried each of hnormal = (HCURSOR) LoadImage(0, (char *) 32512/*OCR_NORMAL*/, IMAGE_CURSOR, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE); and hnormal = LoadCursor(0, IDC_ARROW); But when I try to set these back when my program ends, SetSystemCursor(hnormal, 32512) returns no error but doesn't change the cursor back. ... ... ...

I guess DefWindowProc was the culprit that kept changing the cursor back! Debuggung question Michael Martin5-Jul-01 17:30 Michael Martin 5-Jul-01 17:30  Currently I am writing the error catching and message displaying portions of my code. Now, although I know my supertight code will never fail and therefore is redundant and will never be used, I still wish to test it. I am hoping there is some way I can skip chunks of code in the debugger and get directly to the error stuff I want, so I don't have to piss around with changing data or code just to do the testing. From memory this was possible using Microsft C 6 under OS/2, but what about VC++ 6 under Windows 2000? Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 where is the mouse? Alex Griffing5-Jul-01 15:04 Alex Griffing 5-Jul-01 15:04  I would like my program to know at all times: - Is the mouse in the client area? - If so then where is it? And I want to do this without polling GetCursorPos. A windows message like WM_MOUSEHASJUSTLEFT_YOURCLIENTAREA would be nice because then I could just use the last value I got from WM_MOUSEMOVE without worrying that the mouse has left the premises. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Alex Re: where is the mouse? Tomasz Sowinski5-Jul-01 23:52 Tomasz Sowinski 5-Jul-01 23:52  TrackMouseEvent does this. But it's not available on Windows 95. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com HTTP Post Question Cabadam5-Jul-01 14:27 Cabadam 5-Jul-01 14:27  OK... I basically understand how the 'get' portion of a HTTP connection works... but now I have another question. I am writing a program that will automaticalliy go through various CGI pages, entering the necessary input and parsing the output. I should be able to handle the parsing, but my question lies in how exactly to 'post' the variables from a form to the CGI page. EX: The first page has a form that posts a text field named 'Account' and a password field named 'Password' to "main.cgi". I assume you would get a CHttpFile* that is to the main.cgi and do: http_file->SendRequest But it is here that I am not sure what to fill in... What headers would I need to send? And MSDN says that the lpOptional would usually be the information for a POST operation... but what exactly would I put there? Thanks for any help you can give!

This is not ok: char *Foo() { char ret[100] = "hello"; return ret; } This is not ok: char *Foo() { char ret[100] = "hello"; return ret; } This is ok: const char *Foo() { return "hello world"; } main() { printf(Foo()); } Is this right? Thanks! Re: basic c/c++ question (const related) 5-Jul-01 18:20 5-Jul-01 18:20  return "hello world"; is fine because the string literal "hello world" is stored in the executable image, and stays allocated for the life of your program. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "Holding the away team at bay with a non-functioning phaser was an act of unmitigated gall. I admire gall."   -- Lt. Cmdr. Worf Re: basic c/c++ question (const related) Malcolm McMahon5-Jul-01 22:35 Malcolm McMahon 5-Jul-01 22:35  When you say <br /> char anArray[200]<br /> you are saying "Grab me 200 characters worth of local space and call it "anArray". You could them go on to put "Hello World" into it if you wanted, but only by copying it in character by character, for example with: <br /> strcpy(anArray, "Hello World!");<br /> However because the space for anArray is local it's discarded as soon as your function exits. A pointer returned to it will point to garbage, because that pointer looses it's validity when the routine exits. The string constant "Hello World" is a different kind of beasty. The string is stored by the compiler in static storage. It's address remains valid for the life of the program. When you say, for example, <br /> const char *p = "Hello World";<br /> You are allocating a pointer. A memory location containing the address of that static string. Not a new block of memory containing the string itself (which is why it's ok to do a simple assignment in such a case rather than a more complex copy). Does that make things clearer? Process Directory John Uhlenbrock5-Jul-01 11:26 John Uhlenbrock 5-Jul-01 11:26  I need the directory in which the executable is in. I can't seem to find a function that just gets the path for the directory. If the file path is... c:\program files\cool program\program.exe I need c:\program files\cool program\ I was hoping to do this by a single function call rather than a hideuos solution by getting the whole path and deleting characters from the end until reaching a \ Re: Process Directory Christian Graus5-Jul-01 12:15 Christian Graus 5-Jul-01 12:15  Why not call GetCurrentDirectory on startup, and store it ? Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made.

Re: Process Directory John Uhlenbrock5-Jul-01 12:18 John Uhlenbrock 5-Jul-01 12:18  Because GetCurrentDirectory doesn't necessarily return the directory the exe is in. (i think) I used the debugger and that function, and it showed c:\my documents, while the exe was in c:\my documents\C++ work\Application\Debug\ Re: Process Directory Christian Graus5-Jul-01 12:28 Christian Graus 5-Jul-01 12:28  How odd - this is how we do it, and have done for as long as I have been here, and it's always worked fine. Are you running it apart from VC, or from within VC ? Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either one being made.

Re: Process Directory John Uhlenbrock5-Jul-01 12:32 John Uhlenbrock 5-Jul-01 12:32  I was running it from within VC, which is probably the problem then. Re: Process Directory Tim Deveaux5-Jul-01 13:28 Tim Deveaux 5-Jul-01 13:28  GetModuleFileName or GetModuleFileNameEx should work, or you can parse argv[0]. Isn't this in the FAQ yet? Re: Process Directory John Uhlenbrock5-Jul-01 13:30 John Uhlenbrock 5-Jul-01 13:30  As I previously mentioned I wanted to get the directory the file is in, not the file name and its full path. Re: Process Directory Tim Deveaux5-Jul-01 13:40 Tim Deveaux 5-Jul-01 13:40  I think its a simple parse. Once you have the full path just strrchr for the last '\\', then the next to last, and what remains, however improbable, should be your directory. later oops - I think just one strrchr would do it - just read your msg again... Re: Process Directory Mike Burston5-Jul-01 14:30 Mike Burston 5-Jul-01 14:30  Or better yet, use stl strings. string dirAndName = "c:\\Test\\SubDir\\File.Ext"; string directoryOnly = dirAndName.substr( 0, dirAndName.findLastOf('\\') ); Of course, this does no error checking, so if you think there might be no '\' character at all then you'd need to rework this slightly. Re: Process Directory Kannan Kalyanaraman5-Jul-01 23:10 Kannan Kalyanaraman 5-Jul-01 23:10  how about using _splitpath cheers kannan Re: Process Directory Mike Burston5-Jul-01 13:36 Mike Burston 5-Jul-01 13:36  "GetCurrentDirectory" will return you the directory that the current process is running in (fairly obvious from the name, really!!). If you create a desktop shortcut this is the "Start In" entry (at least, that's what it's called under 2000 - I can't remember if NT/95/etc use the exact same terminology). "GetModuleFileName" will return you the path of the file that the specified module (such as a DLL) was loaded into memeory from. If you pass NULL as the first parameter you get the path of the current process module. You may need to process the returned value from "GetModuleFileName" to extract exactly what you want (path only, filename only, etc) - it's been a while since I did anything like this, so I'm not sure!
