Re: How to detect Internet connection

Here's one way:

bool canConnectTo (LPCTSTR url)
{
  DWORD flags = 0;
  if (InternetGetConnectedState (&flags,0))  {
     if (InternetCheckConnection(url, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0))
        return true;
     return (false);
  }
  return (false);
}

Sample usage:

  if (canConnectTo (_T("http://www.google.com")) &&
      canConnectTo (_T("http://www.yahoo.com"))){
      // internet connection present
  }
}

Real Time performance problem

I have to develop an application that sends a serial packet
with a period 20 millisec.

Does WindowsNT support this performance ???

If I develop a specific driver, can I reach my target, or
20 millisec is to short also for a driver ?

Are there some solutions to have a Real Time-like performance
in WinNT ??

Thanks a lot !!!

[edit] See WiB's message for information on how to do this using Windows NT. It requires Windows itself to be modified, so with standard Windows it's still not possible [/edit]

That's not an easy question. If your 20ms period must be exact, or else you get errors, then the answer is "no", Windows NT is not that accurate in its scheduling.

If the 20ms period is an average, then the answer is "maybe". A lot depends on the system load, and the other applications that are running. If this is a one-off system, then you might be able to measure the exact performance of the system, but Windows is inherently unstable and may do funny things at any time.

It may be better to use a cheap PC running Linux to handle the packet transmission, hooked up to a standard Windows PC running your application as a front-end only.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Not clear from where u want to trap the keys. if it is from ur app dialog just use ON_WM_KEYDOWN - OnKeyDown msg handler. Otherwise, if u want system wide key trap , see documentaion of the API SetWindowsHookEx.

Best wishes..mil10

Like it says in winuser.h

/* VK_0 thru VK_9 are the same as ASCII '0' thru '9' (0x30 - 0x39) */
/* VK_A thru VK_Z are the same as ASCII 'A' thru 'Z' (0x41 - 0x5A) */

Example...

void CMyCtrl::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) 
{
  if( nChar == 'A' )
  {
     // Do Stuff
  }
}

I have soem queries regarding component versioning.

I had a component named "Old_Component" exposed as an STA, out-of proc COM server, developed in VC++. This is wrapped by another component "Old_Component_Wrapper" which is in-proc COM server and exposed to client.

Now we are planning to provide new version of our product.

In new version, we are thinking of removing the wrapper layer. That is we want to expose "Old_Component" to client instead of "Old_Component_Wrapper". Can you tell me is this possible? Or what can be the possible issues in doing this?

Did you add this line before defining any variable of type vector?

using namespace std;

Move the include above the macro mess (redefinition of the new operator) that is added by MFC. You should end up with something like...

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "DlgDummy.h"
#include "DlgDummyDlg.h"

#include <vector>
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

using namespace std;

I have created a dialog in the resource of VC++

Then I change the Class from CDialog to CDialogBar

I add a menu --> Show CDialogBar
--> Close CDialogBar

I created a variable in the CMainFrame header file
public:
CMyDialogBar *m_wndMyDialogBar;

under Show CDialogBar:

m_wndMyDialogBar = new CMyDialogBar;

m_wndMyDialogBar->Create(......); <-- i forgot the parameter

m_wndMyDialogBar->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

but the DialogBar only appeared when i try to resize the window.

I invoke the Invalidate() and the RedrawWindow() still i have to resize
the window just to make the DialogBar appear.

Alright I have a browse button on a dialog, and next to that is an exit box, can't figure out how to have the directory name and file automaticly placed into the edit box. For example if you hit browse and choose a file in C:\blah\ and the filename is blah.txt in the edit box you will see: C:\blah\blah.txt
Thanks for any help that can be given.

CreateWindow Failed

I want to create a pager control using CreateWindow function at CMainFrame class of the application:
---------------------
if (CreateWindow(WC_PAGESCROLLER,NULL,PGS_HORZ|WS_CHILD, 0, 0, 0, 0, m_hWnd, NULL ,AfxGetInstanceHandle(),NULL) == NULL)
{
AfxMessageBox("Failed creating the pager control.");
return -1;
}
----------------------

The function returns NULL, which means failing in creating one. Can you help me to create the pager control?

First of all, you should call ::GetLastError() to see why the control isnt created.

And my first guess would be you forgot to call InitCommonControlsEx with ICC_PAGESCROLLER_CLASS.

Yes, I did.
-------------------------
LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX lpInitCtrls = new INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX;
lpInitCtrls->dwICC =ICC_PAGESCROLLER_CLASS;
InitCommonControlsEx(lpInitCtrls);
if (CreateWindow(WC_PAGESCROLLER,NULL,PGS_HORZ|WS_CHILD, 0, 0, 0, 0, m_hWnd, NULL ,AfxGetInstanceHandle(),NULL) == NULL)
{
AfxMessageBox("Failed creating the pager control.");
return -1;
}

-------------------------

I have the code in the CMainFrame class at end of the OnCreate function.
