Thanks a lot! This was awesome. I appreciate the assistance you have provided me and the time you've spent answering questions from a beginner like me.
Are there any books that go into more detail about the communication model etc here? I see a lot of books with stuff on how to get started and build your first appln, but nothing more detailed.

Hai,
I'm new to vc++ win32...i am trying to read and write to serial port COM1.
I know we can do this by createfile and read and writefile fns..but i am not sure about the flags and how to set buffer values..and what other funcs i need to do..suppose i want to write say "hello" to com1 and get the acknowledge "hi" from it...can any one help me with the code exactly how to do it..
thanks a lot.

You can use
The DCB structure defines the control setting for a serial communications device.
after this you can comunicate as you sain with createfile and writefile..

Hai,
I have created a file using createfile function. but when i executed it, it gives ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error in Getlasterror function.
How should i overcome this.what shoulg i set the security attribute value.

Make sure you close the file before you try to execute it.. Just a guess.

Specify the file access flag as CFile::modeWrite in CreateFile Function.
I hop this will work.

the means and in God, the hot

I have some souce cod please look into, this will append at the end of the file.
void WriteOutputDebug(char* tempStr, int length)
{
HANDLE hfile;
DWORD word;
char tempBuf[20] = "C:\\OutputDebug.txt";
hfile = CreateFile(tempBuf, GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, NULL, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
SetFilePointer(hfile, 0, NULL, FILE_END);
WriteFile(hfile, tempStr, length, &word, 0);
CloseHandle(hfile);
}

Hello,
I am trying to pass data through a CSocket using CSocketFile and CArchive.. Everything works great except if the network connection breaks it thows a CFileException when sending.. I am trying to handle the exception with the following code..
2 problems:
1st) is when I exit the app i get a memory leak, I am guessing that it's because the ar_send.Flush() is what is throwing the exception so the archive data doesn't get flushed..
2nd) the exception throws up a MessageBox and I don't want that, I want to handle the error on my own.. Here is what I have...
CSocketFile sf(&m_sSocket);
CArchive ar_send(&sf, CArchive::store);
TRY {
ar_send << strSend;
ar_send.Flush();
ar_send.Close();
sf.Close();
}
CATCH_ALL(error){
TCHAR szCause[4096];
error->GetErrorMessage(szCause,4096,NULL);
TRACE("OnSend() Error: %s\n",szCause);
} END_CATCH_ALL;
Thanks!

I found a article on another site that talked about my problem.. here is a little blurb from the article...
If the terminating socket has been closed, calling Flush on the CArchive will raise an exception (so will calling Close). In the previous case, before the exception is handled, CArchive goes out of scope and its destructor calls Close. Close throws another exception and all hell breaks loose. Never throw exceptions from destructors.
You will need nested try / catch blocks ... [Article^]
My problem with the exceptions is fixed but I still have a memory leak.. Any ideas??
void CMainFrame::OnSend(CClientSocket *pSocket, CString strMsg)
{
if(*pSocket != INVALID_SOCKET)
{
try
{
sendObject(pSocket, strMsg);
}
catch (CException* pEx)
{
pEx->Delete();
}
}
}
BOOL CMainFrame::sendObject(CClientSocket *pSocket, CString strMsg)
{
BOOL bRet = TRUE;
CSocketFile sf(pSocket);
CArchive ar_send(&sf, CArchive::store);
try
{
ar_send << strMsg;
ar_send.Flush();
ar_send.Close();
sf.Close();
}
catch (CException* pEx)
{
bRet = FALSE;
pEx->Delete();
}
return bRet;
}

i'm tryin to do this program and i don't know how to go about doing it. i tried it one way but it didn't work.
The goal of the program is to encode input messages using the following encryption strategy:
The message sender iputs a four letter word , CCCC, and another for letter word XXXX. The message sender then inputs the message to be sent. The program scans the message one character at a time and each character is pushed in the stack until either the scanned character is in the word CCCC or the end of message is encountered. When the scanned characters in CCCC, print that charcater until the stack is empty or the chracter at the top is one of the chracters XXXX. Whne the end of the message is encountered, print the chracter at the top of the stack and continue to pop and print the stack top until the stack is empty.
for example:
word 1 = GOOD
word 2 = LUCK
message to be encoded = SOUNDS SIMPLE TO ME
encoded message = OSDNOT EEM LPMIS SU
this is what i have so far:
#include <cctype>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
class stack
{
private:
char stacks[50];
int top;
public:
void push(char);
char pop(char &);
bool empty();
bool full();
stack()
{
top=0;
}
};
bool stack::empty()
{
if (top==0)
return true;
else
return false;
}
bool stack::full()
{
if (top==50)
return true;
else
return false;
}
void stack::push(char x)
{
if (full())
exit(1);
else
top++;
stacks[top]=x;
}
char stack::pop(char &x)
{
if (empty())
exit(1);
else
x=stacks[top];
top--;
return (x);
}
int main()
{
stack s1;
char word1[5];
char word2[5];
char message[50];
int len;
char catchvar;
cout<<"Enter Encryption word 1 : ";
cin.getline(word1,5);
cout<<"Enter Encryption word 2 : ";
cin.getline(word2,5);
cout<<"Enter message to be encypted : ";
cin.getline(message,50);
len=strlen(message);
cout<< "Encypted message is : ";
for (int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j

whats with the © copyright notice?
is this your code?

I found in several examples the function _mbstowcsz, but I don't find anywhere it's explanation.
Does anyone know exactly why on a certain place this will be used instead of mbstowcs?
|
|
|
|
|
i would imagine (guessing here) that the z on the end indicates it would be used with a zero terminated string?

The mbstowcs function does convert a NULL of the source string and stops there.
It IS possible, that mbstowcsz appends a zero even if it has not found any in the source string.
My point is, that this function is not documented even in the online MSDN (it appears only in two examples), and people are following this blindly.
Do you use a function, because you BELIEVE that it will work a certain way? (It is a rhetorical question.)

_mbstowcsz is defined in AtlMisc.h in WTL, also in CStringT.h in MFC7.
In both cases the function calls ::MultiByteToWideChar() and then sets the last character in the string to a NULL.

Thanx.
_mbstowcsz is defined in AFX.H of VC6, but a definition is not a documentation (there is nothing about it in Visual Studio 6).
I am a bit upset by the lemmings, who are coding and copying code without having an idea of the implications.

It is declared in AFX.h, and it is defined in StrCore.cpp.

Hi
Maybe wrong forum but here goes anyway...I was asked 5 questions in a telephone interview. Anybody give their thinking on the following two....
1) Why would passing a parameter into a copy constructor by value be a waste of time
2) When would you use private inheritance
if you're still reading...
3) 3 main differences between a class and a struct. (I said classes are private by default, structs are public. Structs are value based, classes are referenced base (read that somewhere), classes can use polymorphism, late binding etc). Anywhere near?
Thanks for your time.;P
Regards
Angel

When you need the public and protected members of the base class to be private in the derived class. In the past 11 years, I've never had the need.

I only know of one main one. While others might exist, they are probably insignificant in comparison.

So can structs:

struct Car : public Auto
{
public:
void Engine(){}
};
struct Truck : public Auto
{
public:
void Engine(){}
};

I answered the same, but said all members to be private, which is effectively what you're saying. He wasn't happy - he wanted an example of when you would use private inheritance!

What is your main one?

Didn't know that!

Hi,
I have an application where the mainframe consists of a list control in the view. I update and display values here. On Exiting the application I need to do some stuff here.
I tried writing a function that handles the WM_CLOSE message... the function gets called for the mainframe, but not for the view. Looking into the MainFrame, I don't see an instance of the view being created and consequently can't invoke the function directly. what should i do?
HelpWanted!

Have you considered the app's ExitInstance() method?
help_wanted wrote:

Probably because it is not created in the frame. The document, frame and view are all created in the app's InitInstance() method.
