hahahaha,
thanks ...
So the environment will be :
server : coldfusion no big deal here
clients : running in MS Visual C++ on différents windows computer (secretary ones and maybe commercials ones ;o).
The aim, NO USE of the MSSQL servers (4) running our main app, this grid trick is to work against multiple accounts from cheaters. They use real data and the only way for me to catch them is to find part of similarity between records. I already tried a coldfusion template running every 10 mn and checking one record at a time using the SQL server. Not really faisable, too long, not scalable, not changeable on the fly. With the grid computing way of working, I can have multiple clients working on differents id_members maybee with differents criteria. So it seems to me the best way to do it.
So, yes I am a beginner in C++, but I know quite well Coldfusion, not too bad MS SQL. And as a young little boy, I played with Turbo PASCAL and Assembler and C (no C++ at that time). So I hope being able to find part of code and some help on the web to manage something not too bad, what do you think ? should I stop now ?

Well, I'd look solving it differently. If you're looking for similar records (having data within given ranges or data belonging to a set of values), then I'd try and look for those using a SQL query first (in a program running on a separate machine to the SQL servers, and I would probably use ADO in VB6, or ADO.NET in VB.NET/C#, and stuff the results of a query into a RecordSet or DataSet as appropriate).
In the program, you can then scan through the smaller result set with more sophisticated algorithms to find the "cheaters".
And I think that trying grid computing is overkill for this application. Given good criteria in the SQL query to start with would surely reduce the nubmer of rows to check to a managable value.
I've regularly worked with million+ row databases, and done some *vaguely* similar stuff, and I've never needed to go beyond a straight single application.
I have to admit though, that the exact nature of your application eludes me. It sounds like you're doing a seti-style distributed application where you need to cross check the results, and the usual way to handle that is to distribute the same data to more than one client, and see if they match up. If they don't, you keep chucking it out until you get a consistent set of results, or you run that data through yourself.
(I also have to admit that I have no familiarity with programming CF, and I'm wondering exactly why you have it - it seems unsuited to this sort of application)

I got your point, let say I do a first selection using MSSQL or MYSQL, then I do a new check using others criteria on the new query. How would you handle this in C++ ? I mean, would you use specific data type for the query in C++ ? or specific way of working ?
I stick on C++ because I am playing around with it for a week now ....
Thanks for the time you spend reading my awfull english.

Well, to access a database using C++, I'd use the ADO libraries:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ado270/htm/pg_ado_programming_6.asp[^]
Note that you need a working familiarity with COM (Component Object Model) to make progress with ADO.
ADO allows you to run an SQL Query (and you can specify your own criteria as part of that), and store the returned results in a Recordset object, that you can look through and examine easily. Each fields in each row of the recordset is stored as a Variant object (it's a union of lots of different types, with a tag to say what type you need to look at).
I hope that link gets you started. I would note that using ADO is a lot easier from Visual Basic 
There are also other libraries to access database from C++ - you can go lower level and use ODBC directly, or use the DAO library, which ADO superceded, but still seems reasonably popular to use from C++ programs.

Hi,
I have a DSN=test and the user is karteek and password is null.I want to connect to a Mysql database in linux system.Please provide me the required database functions.Please provide the code if possible.

The easiest would probably be to derive a class from CRecordset. ClassWizard or AppWizard will prompt you for the name of the DSN. At that point, you can select the table(s) you want to associate the record set with.

hi
i have to insert multiline text item into listctrl and increase the height of that perticular row... can anybody tell me some suggestion....
thanx

One solution is to derive a class from CListCtrl and do custom drawing. Check out CodeProject code section for examples.

I have a client application which playbacks remote video files time-synchronous. I used CAsyncSocket derrived class for TCP/IP transaction.
In order to display video frames time-synchronous I have to place "Sleep(...)" method in OnReceive(...) procedure. But "Sleep(...)" method blocks message processing of main thread in specified time-period, so the application is not responding the mouse and keyboard events or responding with 30-40 second delay. Because the socket generating messages heavily.
So, I used PeekMessage(.....), TranslateMessage(...),DispatchMessage(...) in specified time-period instead of Sleep(...) method in order to proceed messages during waiting period. It is working correctly. I filtered a lot of message that may be dangerous to dispatch in OnReceive(...) procedure. Everything seems OK. The mouse and keyboard messages are being handled correctly.
But I noticed a strange behaviour; there is a drop-down list box in the main window. Normally, the selected item of drop-down list box should change when mouse pointer comes over (without clicking). But it is not working. Selected item (blue printed item) does not change when mouse pointer comes over.
I thing, It is dispatching all messages except some socket messages in OnReceive(...) procedure. What may cause this problem. Does anyone have an idea.
Thanks.

It maybe processed in IsDialogMessage()...

Hi,
i've just installed VisualC++ on w2k.
Everything is fine apart from the setup of the symbols which fails due to inconsistency between many .dll present of my w2k and the files to be installed.
Any idea on how to solve the issue?
Thanks,

How to know when mouse to move over the toolbar and when leave it?
Best regards,
Eugene Pustovoyt
|
|

Override PreTranslateMessage and intercept WM_MOUSEMOVE: it will be sent when the mouse is present on the toolbar window. Hope this help
|
|
|
|

First, I need always check window under the mouse for this. This isn't good idea. Second, I may have more than one toolbar and don't know ID toolbar. Another idea!?
Best regards,

Well, that's the point, to know if something leaves an area, you need to know if it was inside.
Second, you will need to have a different class for each toolbar in which to put the Pretranslate message, so, no need to check for the toolbar ID.
also Have a look at _TrackMouseEvent and the TRACKMOUSEEVENT structure.

I would add WindowFromPoint to know the handle fo the window the mouse id over it and thus to get the ID of the toolbar

Hi,
I have a multithreaded application, that reads from one queue. This queue is proteced by a crtitcal section (enter/leave critcal section). When I ran this program and start process explorer from sysinternals, I can see that the amount of the unnamed event objects is raising. I dont do any CreateEvent or something like this.
thanks in advance

Sounds like recursion to me. Make sure you are not calling a function (most likely in a thread) that causes this probem. Of course if you want to be sure it is a recursion problem, just let it run until your system crashes ( NOT RECOMMENED - damn I forgot XP/2000+ tends to stop that [the crash part not the problem] ).
