Hi all

I created a windows service that runs fine on windows 2000,xp and 98.

It runs fine on NT but I get a error dialog whenever I try to logoff,restart or shutdown my computer, keeping the service running. This dialog box appears twice, each time I have to press EndTask.
There is no problem if I shutdown my service and then logoff,restart or shutdown my computer.

Any Idea what could be wrong.?

This problem does not arise if I doesnt allow my serice to interact with the desktop. But that is not a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Problem about char array

Hey, here is my code.

// Constructor sets player's properties<br />
Player::Player( char pName[20] )<br />
{<br />
	playerName	= pName;<br />
	//isTurn		= false;<br />
	isWon		= false;<br />
	winsCount	= 0;<br />
}

I got the error from this part;

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char []' to 'char [20]'
There are no conversions to array types, although there are conversions to references or pointers to arrays

playerName is decleared as
char playerName[20]in header file.

use strcpy() function to copy array. You can't do it like this.

strcpy(playerName, pName);

It will work

Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature..and to found that edifice on its unavenged tears, would you consent to be the architect on those conditions?

in this case BugSearcher is right, since arrays have the same size, in general case, you should use

<br />
strncpy(dest,src,number_bytes_to_be_copied);<br />

in order to avoid buffer-overflow

P.S. BugSearcher, I've found a bug in your code Laugh | :laugh:

Thanks both of you.

However, I got warning this time

Warning C4996: 'strcpy' was declared deprecated
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\string.h(62) : see declaration of 'strcpy'

Isn't there any method that returns nothing? or using in this way is better?

CWnd* wp1 = GetDlgItem( IDC_STATIC3);// IDC_STATIC_CAM1
CDC *pDC1 = wp1->GetDC();
CDC imageDC1;
imageDC1.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC1);
imageDC1.SelectObject(&pic1);
pDC1->BitBlt(0,0,bild_header1.bmWidth,bild_header1.bmHeight,&imageDC1,0,0,SRCCOPY);

You don't need to Attach, once bitmap is created. So remove the line, it should work!

Thank you for y answer, have tryed it without attach before but its not running.
Even i need this attach because its necessary to display in the CWND.

Webcams usually provide some sort of web server, that you can download it from there and then you can display it (as jpeg probably)
But without further info, it's difficult to say how can you do it.

wav file resampling

Hi,
I am new to VC++.
How do I resample(upsample/downsample) any wave file to a predefined value. Basically how do I change the attributes denoted by the WAVEFORMATEX structure, of an already existing file. (for example I have to convert any wav file into 8 khz 16 bit, PCM). The file will be an already existing one and not one to be recorded.
Thanx in advance.

Look at getaddrinfo()

in the addrinfo struct there is a sockaddr struct which can have either an ipv4 or ipv6 structure.

Hi,

This is ok. But i want to know all adapters which are present in the system along with their IPv6 ip addresses.getaddrinfo is socket call. I have tried IP Helper function GetAdaptersAddresses but I don't know it's not returning me IPv6 address. I am getting all details of adapter but not IP address.

Thanks for reply

hi i want to open an exe as a file in my application. in my dialog box app there is a button when i click on that it will open a exe as a file and search for suppose "t".

how can i open an exe as a file and how to replace a char or string in it.

I think you use the GetOpenFileName() to open the exe file
the you need an handle in order to open file using CreateFileA

<br />
HANDLE hFile=CreateFile(filename, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, NULL, NULL);<br />

at this point you should have an handle to your exe file, now we read it into memory using ReadFileA

<br />
DWORD BR=0; //numbers of bytes read by readfile<br />
char *tempbuff=(char*)calloc(dFileSize,sizeof(char));<br />
<br />
ReadFile(hFile, tempbuff, dFileSize, &BR, NULL);<br />
<br />
if( BR < dFileSize){<br />
//Process the error, since not all file could have been read<br />
}<br />

now we search the string you're looking for

<br />
char *p=NULL;<br />
p=strstr(tempbuff,"TEXT_TO_BE_SEARCHED");<br />
if( p==NULL) // no TEXT_TO_BE_SEARCHED found in tempbuff<br />
else you've the first occurrence<br />

for writing you do the same using WriteFile,
bye

Hi,

I have some MFC projects which use the following libs:
kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib

Are these libs always necessary for using MFC? How can I know which libs to use and will I get errors compiling/linking when those deleted from the project?

Best regards,
Jens

They are ignored if not used, if there's a lib missin, you will get an linker error that there's some function missing.

hope that helps

#else
#define DLL_API __declspec(dllimport)

declare the funcion you want to export as

<br />
extern "C" __declspec( dllexport) BOOL Function(char *buffer,char *tg);<br />

in your DLL project

In the Project that need the function do

declare in header file

<br />
extern "C" __declspec( dllimport ) BOOL Function(char *buffer,char *tg);<br />

<br />
HANDLE hDLL=LoadLibrary("dllname");<br />
if(hDLL == NULL)<br />
{<br />
//handle error<br />
}<br />
<br />

hope it helps
