Another way might be to load the component with LoadLibrary[^] and call the function DllUnregisterServer[^]

Buddy,
according to me,you can't called a simple DlL or rather plain dll in VB application.VB support only COM dll.

Hi Mr.Gupta,

thanks for the reply...i created my dll in mfc dll. i was told that the output of mfc dll is already a COM dll... do i still have to do something to make it a COM dll for my vb app to use it?

You need to make sure that your DLL is performing all of the initialization required (like calling WsaStartup()). It sounds like your MFC test app may be doing things that your VB app isn't.

Another debugging tip: Put a message box in the DLL code that shows you the error values from the connect.

hi! i'm using the CSocket class instead of the winsock... when the dll is called from an MFC dialog based app, everything works fine but not if the dll is called from vb.net...i'm trying to find some initialization that might be needed.. actually.. it cant connect to the server when called in vb app although it does connect in mfc app. there is no error with the code it just doesnt connect...

Do the following steps:

CBitmap bmpYourBitmap; // your bitmap
CDC *pDC; // device context for painting
//
// 1. Create a memory device context:
CDC memDC;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
//
// 2. Select your bitmap into <code>memDC</code>:
CBitmap *pOldBmp = memDc.SelectObject(&bmpYourBitmap);
//
// 3. Get the size of <code>bmpYourBitmap</code>:
BITMAP bm;
bmpYouBitmap.GetBitmap(&bm);
//
// 4. Paint the bitmap:
pDC->BitBlt(0,0,bm.bmWidth,bm.bmHeight,&memDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
memDc.SelectObject(pOldBmp);

Problem with FindWindow

I want to get the HWND of a window by FindWindow(). The second parameter is the window name, but the window name I am trying to get has a copyright symbol in it (a c with a circle around it). Is there a way that I can have FindWindow() only search for the first few characters in the window name? or is there a way to put a copyright symbol in a string? Any help is appreciated.

Use the application "Character Map" which comes with windows. In Windows XP, it's located in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools. Double click the copyright symbol, click copy, and then paste it into your C++ code. Or use the hex code \0xa9 in the string. Like this: "Copyright \x0a9 2004"

protected constructor

Hello,

I have following C++ class hiererarchy like this:

class CBase{
protected:
// Construction/Destraction
CBase(){};
CBase(const CBase& Src){}; // Copy constractor
virtual ~CBase(){};
// Operators
virtual const CBase& operator =(const CBase& Src){}; // = operator
};

class CDerived: public CBase{
public:
// Construction/Destraction
CDerived(){};
CDerived(const CDerived& Src); // Copy constractor
virtual ~CDerived(){};
// Operators
virtual const CDerived& operator =(const CDerived& Src); // = operator
};

CDerived::CDerived(const CDerived& Src):CBase((CBase) Src)
{
//Do something here....
}

const CDerived& CDerived::operator =(const CDerived& Src)
{
if(&Src == this)
return *this;
(Base) *this = (Base) Src;
// Do something here ...
return *this;
}

Visual C++.NET compiler generates errors:
error C2248: CBase::CBase' : cannot access protected member declared in class 'CBase'.

Obviously if I changed 'CBase' as following:
class CBase{
public:
// Construction/Destraction
CBase(){};
CBase(const CBase& Src){}; // Copy constractor
virtual ~CBase(){};
// Operators
virtual const CBase& operator =(const CBase& Src){}; // = operator
};

program would compile without problems. But I need keep 'CBase' construction protected to allow instantiation of 'CBase' only via derived classes.

Does anyone have an idea how this can be fixed? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Leonid

Yes, the type name goes after the *, while the calling convention goes before it.

Hi larsson
there may be many solution for your problem,but from my knowledge i Know two solution

#1 either declare that variable globlly static in your Dll

or
#2 your have to share them betwwen application
like this
[code]
#pragma data_seg(".SHARDAT")
CString m_strUpdate;
#pragma data_seg()

[/code]

#define style templates and float

J.B.1-Oct-04 9:15

1-Oct-04 9:15

Hi guys,

I tried to compile and run a #define type templates example code in Visual C++:

#include <iostream>

#define define_max(type)	\
	type max(type d1, type d2) { \
		if (d1 > d2)	\
			return (d1); \
		return (d2);	\
	}

define_max(int);
define_max(float);
define_max(char);

int main(void)
{
	int i = max(100, 800);
	char ch = max('A', 'Q');
	float f = max(3.5, 8.7);

	return 0;
}

and I am getting compile error ambiguous call to overloaded function on the line

float f = max(3.5, 8.7);

If I replace float with double, it will compile and run ok. Does anyone know why that is? Is there some kind of limitation on uses of float in Visual C++?

Thanks alot
