I think the culprit is your last ASSERT statement, CString's Find member returns -1, if the sub string was not found.

It should be:

ASSERT ( strTest.Find ( _T ( "world" ) ) != -1 )

Nope, It should be just as James wrote it...
You want the ASSERT to PASS if "world" is NOT found.
In fact I compiled this snippet and both asserts
pass just fine on my system.

Your right Steve, I have no idea what it was that I thought he was asking... This kind of thing has been happening all day, I must be on crack or something Wink | ;)

Passing ADO Connection from VB object to an VC Object

That's what I thought Confused | :confused:

. I can only get it to pass on my system if I do:

CString strTemp = _T("hello world");
CString strTest = new CString(strTemp).GetBuffer(0);
ASSERT(strTest.Replace(_T("world"), _T("universe")) > 0)
ASSERT(strTest.Find(_T("world")) == -1)

And I don't know if that's a very good way of doing it.

And the problem only occurs in the current usuage (i.e. it works elsewhere in the project). But i've stepped backwards and forwards for hours and nothing else looks wrong, and nothing is there to indicate it is.

How very odd Frown | :(

Cheers

James Millson

p.s. Oh, and yes, I made up the actual text in the example above, but other than that it is the same. In both cases the equivalent of "world" should not be present in the string.

I have one VB object and one VC object.

This VB object will create one ADO Connection object.
To share the same connection, it is need to pass the connection
from VB to VC object.

Is it possible?
If yes, how can it be done?

Thanks.

Does anybody here know what this can be translated to in the win32 api?
AfxGetThreadState()->m_lastSentMsg;
i know it has something to do with the message queue, but i want to know what its API equivelent is

Carriage Return vs. New Line

14-Jul-01 7:00

I image you could just declare a global MSG variable, and each time your window procedure gets called, just store the messages information.

I use the getline function to retrieve lines from files. The problem is I have some files where lines are ended with a Carriage Return "\r" and some that are ended with a New Line "\n". How can I satisfy both without reading and checking every character?

Usually it's either \r\n or just \n.
What I do is totally strip any \r i come across and just
process the \n.

Is there a way to create a new Dao database using VC++? I know that this requires long answer, so if someone could provide a link to any help, it would be greatly apperciated.

yes, Using the CDaoDatabase::Create();

CDaoDatabase pdaodb;

pdaodb.Create("C:\\Mydb.mdb", dbLangGeneral, dbVersion30);

StreamOut / In

Hi,

Would someone kindly help me out of this 6 hour long struggle. Confused | :confused:

I have an SDI app with a RichEditView. I don't need the RTF functionality, so I want to serialize text only. I've searched everywhere (even the MS Newsgroups) for a sample on how to serialize using streamin and streamout.

I understand that I have to set m_bRTF to false in order to save / load in text only, but for the life of me I can't find a sample that shows how.

An explanation or sample code would be great.

Thanks,
Frank

I'm not typing from much eperience here, but this is what a standard sample CMyAppWizCreatedRichEditDoc::Serialize does:

void CEditDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar)
{
    if (ar.IsStoring())
    {
        // TODO: add storing code here
    }
    else
    {
        // TODO: add loading code here
    }

    // Calling the base class CRichEditDoc enables serialization
    //  of the container document's COleClientItem objects.
    // TODO: set CRichEditDoc::m_bRTF = FALSE if you are serializing as text
    CRichEditDoc::Serialize(ar);
}

CRichEditDoc::Serialize gets a pointer to the CRichEditView type object and calls serialize on that - and yes, if I don't set m_bRTF false some files fail to get read in.

If you are not using a CRichEditDoc, I would think you could fake it with a call to the view, but not sure what then happens to m_bRTF.

You can look in ...\MFC\SRC\VIEWRICH.CPP to see all the fun Stream stuff. The above code comes from the App Wizard if you select CRichEditView for your view class.

Thanks for the info Tim. My app is a basic appwizard generated sdi mfc app that uses RichEditDoc, and RichEditView. The serialize function in my app is exactly what you've listed in your example.

However, Where do I go from here? Ah the humanity! Where's the tylenol. Dead | X|

Hmm... I just use the Open... and Save stuff... however, I do notice that if I don't set the m_bRTF it will only show (the text of) files with the .txt extension...

Oh - and I think there's some tylenol in that white metal box with the red cross on it on top of the water cooler...

later...

CRichEditDoc::m_bRTF = FALSE;
CRichEditDoc::Serialize(ar);

GREETINGS

Could somebody help me with CheckListBox?

I can create it with .Create function, but it's useless. I need to attach it to ListBox control on the dialog.

Thank you!

LOVE & PEACE to everyone
