How do you know they are corrupt/missing?
A socket will ensure that you only get valid data, and if anything is corrupted it won't pass it on to you until it has been resent - this is all handled transparently. I would take a guess that the corruption is due to your program overwriting memory, or not terminating or constructing a string properly. You are using an asyncsocket, so you cannot guarantee that you will receive each packet fully - how are you forming the received packets?

I know they're corrupt because the results they produce don't fit in with the other data, that's the best way to describe it, I get values way beyond the bounds of what they should be. For example, below, nType, 90% of the time that should be 1 or 2, yet I frequently recieve 3s and 4s, and I know the server program isn't sending them.
I see what you mean about not fullying recieving some packets, that would make sense to some extent. What I'm sending/recieving are structs like this:
struct someMessage {
short nType;
float fX;
float fY;
unsigned int wParam;
unsigned int lParam;
};
My OnRecieve handler looks something like this:
int nSent=0;
int nMax=20;
someMessage Msg[20];
nSent=m_Sock.Receive(&Msg,sizeof(Msg));
for(int x=0;x<nMax;x++)
{
}
How can I ensure that I only grab complete "packets" and that the partials are left to be completed? I am under the impression its bad to peek at the buffer and then take action on what's in there. And according to MSDN, any unread data is lost, so I'm at a lost of how I can get the partials too?
Thanks

You need to check the nSent value to see whether you have received enough data to fill your struct. If you receive fewer bytes than the structure, then you will need to wait (i.e. dont process the message, just wait for the next OnReceive) and add the new data's together. This in turn may mean you have enough data for 1.5 structures etc... the trick is to design a good buffering mechanism. The best way to do this is to buffer into a char array, and append onto the end for each OnReceive. Every time you have enough data, you can copy it into a structure and process it, and then move the remaining data in the buffer (if any) to the start.

Thanks, I'll have to look into making that buffering mechanism. But tentatively, I check nSent%sizeof(someMessage) and I have yet to get a value other than 0.

Hello
I created a substitue title bar to replace the original title bar (gradient fill...)
of Dialog or CMDIFrameWnd or CMDIChildWnd.First i remove the original titlebar of windows.
Then i created a substitue window with style :
WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN
and i put this window as the same place as original title bar:
RECT rcWnd;
::GetWindowRect(m_pParentWnd->m_hWnd, &rcWnd);
// The m_pParentWnd is the CWnd of Dialog or
// frame that i pass to this class.
TITLEBARINFO tbi;
tbi.cbSize = sizeof(TITLEBARINFO);
::GetTitleBarInfo(m_pParentWnd->m_hWnd, &tbi);
RECT rcTitlebar = tbi.rcTitleBar;
//Calculate the rect we need to create substitute
// window for titlebar
RECT rcSubstitute = {rcWnd.left, rcWnd.top,
rcWnd.right, rcTitlebar.bottom};
//pszTitle is text on title bar
//The CBMSTITLEBARDIALOG_CLASSNAME is already
register before create window
DWORD dwStyle = WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP |
WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN;
BOOL bResult = CreateEx(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,
CBMSTITLEBARDIALOG_CLASSNAME,
pszWindowName, dwStyle,
rcSubstitute.left,
rcSubstitute.top,
rcSubstitute.right - rcSubstitute.left,
rcSubstitute.bottom - rcSubstitute.top,
m_pParentWnd->m_hWnd,
NULL, NULL );
If the parent window is CMDIFrameWnd or CMDIChildWnd, it's ok
the substistute title bar is put the same place with the original titlebar and have these effects that i want.
But with dialog the substistue title bar was wrong.
(Not the same place with original title bar). ???
I think because the Dialog has WS_POPUP style, and the
Substitue title bar that i create has the same WS_POPUP style. So it's wrong, is it right ? or some another reason.
Please help me. Thanks

I'm looking at writing an application that can import certificate files into Internet Explorer, or export them from Internet Explorer to a file. There are a ton of certificate APIs, but none of them seem to do what I need. Is there anyone here with certificate experience that has done something like this, or something similar that can help me out?

Am I the only one who's noticed this? Has it only happened to me?
It seems that, if you have a multiline edit in an XP-themed app (i.e., an app using ComCtl32 v.6), the word wrap does not take into account accented characters and breaks on them. So, for example, if I write "error de aplicación" in Spanish and the edit happens to want to break around the end of the last word, it might break immediately after the "ó".
I would be interested to see if anyone's seen this because I've fixed it by writing a callback to handle word wrap, modified from some ancient code from a Microsoft example. This has, in turn, highlighted another bug, this time in the definition of the first parameter received by EditWordBreakProc.
It might be worth turning this into an article, but am I the only one seeing this problem?

How can I make a grid control cell multiline so that I can edit it like I would normally, with pressing enter between lines etc.? I have a grid control created at runtime and have tried changing the dwStyle flags in the create function but nothing happens.

The menus in the project I am working on come up in response to Alt key functionanlity but the underlined characters in the menu do not respond.
(Alt-F brings up the file menu but Alt-F X does not Exit the program). The arrow keys move me up and down and expand sub menus but the mnemonic keys just don't work. Any ideas?

I'm trying to write a simple C++ GUI-less app that will be activated through an IE button - the code will do one thing and one thing only, but it involves placing text into fields of another program that is already running. what I need to know is: How do I code it so I can place the appropriate text in the appropriate fields of the other application? Specifically, I am trying to work with Remedy software, and I'm trying to automate the task of creating a new profile based off the information displayed in a webpage. all i need it to do is chug through the HTML for the needed info, then put it in the appropriate fields in Remedy and save the profle. I'm looking to learn, so any guidance would be more appreciated than unexplained code. send emails to joe_public34@yahoo.com Thanks!

Hi,
I have a visual C++ program with a couple menus. Upon entering each menu, I have something along the lines of this:
ttc_toolTips = new CToolTipCtrl();
ttc_toolTips->Create( this);
ttc_toolTips is a CToolTipCtrl pointer. And this is called within an overriden dialog class thus the reason for the "this" parameter to Create().
I tested this program on several machines running Windows 2000. The program seems to work on most systems except just one machine. On the machine that crashes, the program will work fine at first, but when I enter, exit about 10 menus which create tool tips like the code above, The CToolTipCtrl->Create function will fail and return 0.
When Create fails I get a message in the Visual C++ debug window along the lines of "Warning: Create window failed, GetLastError returned 0x00000000". Its true I don't deallocate the CToolTipCtrl objects created from the last 10 menus, but this machine has at 512MB of memory which is double the amount of memory some of these other machines have, and on these machines with less memory the program doesn't crash after like 50+ menus.
This seems strange to me and I can only ask under what conditions the Create function of CToolTipCtrl class can fail. Does it fail when I run out of memory? Could it be a result of hardware failure or bad video drivers? Note: I stepped through in the debugger and the "this" parameter passed to Create alawys has a valid dialog pointer, however the check ASSERT(::isWindow(hwnd)) within CToolTipCtrl class fails.
I also perform memory leak detection and _ASSERTE( _CrtCheckMemory( ) ); checks in many places of my code to make sure I'm not corrupting the heap anywhere. This is driving me nuts.
Any hints?
Thanks for reading this long message!

What version of IE is on the 2k machine this is failing with?
|
|
|
|

Hi,
The version number for IE is Version 6.0.2800.1106CO. This is actually on all the machines. However, I made my program clean up after itself right away and it seems to work on that machine now even after 50+ menus. That is I deleted the CToolTipCtrl objects immediately after use.
Something I should have done before anyway but you would think it would work without deleting right away since the system has at least 512 MB of ram and thats at least 2x more ram the other more stable machines. Which I find really weird. Perhaps more memory could mean that pages are swappde from memory to disk at a slower rate and that somehow affects things.
It would be interesting to find out why create would fail though, just for future reference. Perhaps MFC keeps track of the number of windows (hwnd's) you can create?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I'm having trouble with the MS Toolbar Editor provided with VS6.0 . I'm now working on a new release of an old program, and I need to delete some buttons on the toolbar.
The problem is, I can't delete the buttons in the Bitmap itself, because the toolbareditor prompts that the Bimap file needs to be adjusted.
Besides that, I can't delete the buttons in the toolbar editor either! I don't know why and it's been eating me up all day now...
Does anyone know a simple toobar editor which can EDIT toolbars?
Thanks in advance.

it's ok
you need left click on button that you want to remove and drag it away from IDE, the button tool bar will disappear.

Thanks!
To bad that you can't r-click on the toolbar...

I have created a new dialog-based Project using MFC. Then I added a few other .cpp-files from older projects to this new Project.
But now I have the problem that member variables from the files created by MFC are not avaiable in the old files i added myself, although I included all avaiable headers in these files.
When I try to use them, the error "C2065: 'm_member' not declared" occurs.
All Files (both old and new) have headers like this:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "ApplicationName.h"
#include "ApplicationNameDlg.h"
#include "DlgProxy.h"
Thank you for your help,
Ronin.
