Hi,
We are trying to  place FlexGrid in ATL window(CWnd Inheritance).
Create is successful, but we cannot get Interface properly.
We think that either one or both of the arguments for "QueryInterface" are
incorrect.
iCannot find REFIID in the help header file.j
Please let us know the solution for this.
Thanx & Regards
Ravi

Hi all -
I am little confused over the assignment mechanism in std::Vector.
I have a standard vector of some class object, lets say MyClass.
This vector has various number of objects at various occasions.
I also need to keep a backup of this vector, at times.
I am using following code:
1. std::vector<myclass> vect;
2. std::vector<myclass> *pVect = new std::vector<myclass>; //(one time initialization in the owner class's ctor)
// for assignment
3. *pVect = vect;
What happens to the objects contained in pVect when the assignment operator is called?
Is it better to use a resize here?
Or is it better if I use this code --
// for assignment
if (pVect)
delete pVect;
pVect = new std::Vector<myclass>(vect)

There aren't any objects in pVect when the assignment operator is called.
The best code to use would probably be
pVect = new std::vector<myclass>(vect.begin(), vect.end());
This allocates the new vector and copies the contents of vect in one operation.

Thanks a lot Stuart,
I have one more doubt..
Stuart Dootson wrote: What happens to the objects contained in pVect when the assignment operator is called?
There aren't any objects in pVect when the assignment operator is called.
But what if pVect already has some objects
for e.g.
*pVect = vect; //(this time vect has 10 objects)
//Again at some point in code
*pVect = vect; //(this time vect has 5 objects)
Regards,
Misha

The objects will be destructed, so for
std::vector<myclass> a;
the myclass destructor will be called for each member of a if you assign something else to a

STL containers are generally designed with stack semantics in mind. Of course, it is allowed to create them on the heap, but it is rarely a good thing.

I am confused!
Q1) Why are you using new at all? 
misha_grewal wrote: 3. *pVect = vect;
The objects in pVect are destroyed and then replaced by copies of those stored in vect; the vector will resize its self if needed.
misha_grewal wrote: Or is it better if I use this code --

if (pVect)
delete pVect;
pVect = new std::Vector(vect)
In this scenario you are wasting time and code:
1) You do not need to use if(pVect) in C++, because delete does that for you. So you would just call delete.
2) See Q1 above.
Note: Using new is rarely required in a well written (standard) C++ program.

Hi,
I want know that what is the max size of a vector. How much a vector can store Data. Is there any limit or not?.
Thanks

The only limit is the amount of memory that can be allocated, which will depend on a) the amount of memory you have installed in your PC (as the amount of physical RAM affects the size of the page-file), and b) the other processes you have running.
On 32-bit Windows 2000 and XP, the absolute maximum limit will be something under 2GB, I guess.

Hello,
I've been read through various articles about DEP(Data Execution Prevention)[^] and realized that many of them implied that old ATL/WTL application may trigger DEP then be terminated due to non-DEP compliant thunking code that old version of ATL/WTL uses.
However when I wanted and tried to verify it myself by creating WTL applications based on both ATL3 and ATL71, they didn't trigger DEP nor crashed and run without any problem.
The testing systems (one AMD64 and one Intel DuoCore in WinXP SP2) were set to enable hardware DEP through control panel, and it was confirmed by running NXTEST[^].
Why can't DEP detect data ( on the stack(ATL3) or on the heap(ATL71) ) being executed without the excutable flag set in ATL/WTL application?
|
|
|
|
|
Because they allocate the thunks from memory marked as executable... dig into the source

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No, they are not allocated from memory marked as executable.
If you are talking about ATL8(from VC80), yes the thunk are allocated from memory with executable flag bit set (DEP compatible thunk).
But ATL71 and prior (as I specified in my original question) do not allocate the thunk from memory marked as executable. ATL3 uses thunk from the stack memory(as a member variable) and ATL71 uses it from ::HeapAlloc() thus no excutable bit set.
And my question is why ATL/WTL applications using thunk from ATL71 or prior do not trigger DEP mechanism when hardware DEP is enabled in WinXP SP2 or WinVista?
Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Jae.

Yes, you are right. I was refering to ATL8. I just checked my ATL71 code, but could not see the "special alloc" as one can in ATL8.
I too would like to know why DEP won't shoot it down.

I got some answer from the microsoft ATL newsgroup.
Click Here.[^]
Martyn Lovell in MS replied long time ago:
"You have nothing to worry about. We worked with the Windows team to ensure
that applications based on all versions of ATL will keep running even in the
presence of the NX-supporting processors.
The way we did this might have a small perf impact, so we'll also be
ensuring that future versions of ATL do store their thunks in appropriately
marked pages; we're also considering putting this change into service packs
of V7.x releases of VS. But with or without these changes your applications
ATL-based code will keep running just fine."
~~~
By the way, I found that my custom thunk code which is identical to that from ATL3 does not trigger DEP either therefore, IMHO, I guess DEP does some sort of machine code comparison in the data being executed to avoid shooting down a code based on the thunk of ATL71 or prior.

Not much details (or am I blind??). The penalty hit comment smells of trapping exceptions, do code analysis, and then either allow or disallow execution.
Thanks for the information!

Hi all!
I want to write an ATL exe that uses the mscomm32.ocx activex for serial communication.
How to do this? specially how to call the methods of this ocx as we can do it with
mfc exe by declaring a member variable of the class CMSComm.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I am having a ASPX page on whose submission I open a PopUp Window for
sending mails.In the main page I have four hidden variables for
setting the MailTo Mailcc,MailSubject and MailBody fields which I am
getting in my PopUp Window by using
if((document.getElementById("hdnForPOst").value)=="1")
{
document.getElementById("txtTo").value=window.opener.document.getElementById("hdnMailTo").value;
document.getElementById("txtCC").value=window.opener.document.getElementById("hdnMailCC").value;
document.getElementById("txtMailSubject").value=window.opener.document.getElementById("hdnMailSubject").value;
document.getElementById("txtMailBody").value=window.opener.document.getElementById("hdnMailBody").value;
}
hdnForPOst is the variable set for sending mail.
This script I have pasted in a after my controls code.
The problem is that sometimes this code does't execute and I get a
blank popup Window.
I have checked by putting alerts inside script block also.These alerts
also dont execute.It happens only at times and no specific scenario.
Anybody can help please?

I'm using attribute ATL, and i need to forward declare an interface but i'm not sure what the correct syntax is? this is what i currently have but i'm getting a compile error. VS2005
error MIDL2025 : syntax error : expecting a type specification near "IDLArchiveFile"
[export]
__interface IDLArchiveFile;

This is going to sound snarky, but in all honesty you shouldn't use attributed ATL. It has never worked right. If at all possible, you should rewrite it in regular ATL.

I have to agree with Michael. Attributed COM/ATL is one of the most stupid idea ever conceived by the VC++ team... It's inefficient at compile time (Zzzzzz), and it causes general headaches in cases such as these.
MIDL for the win!

hmmm, yeah i'm not enjoying using Attributed ATL. I only used it because I started a new project in VS 2003 and it must have been the default setting back then and so i thought "It must be better and the thing todo" so it has stuck with this particular project since then...
I'm not looking forward to rewriting it though, i figured that forward declaration was such a common thing that there would be a well known solution.

The idea is to create some add-on in a program using COM functions interface exist in his own API.
The particular type which I try to implement is a generic one , let say MyClass, and is declared like below:
//MyClassPtr declaration;
_COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(MyClass, __uuidof(IDispatch));
//The class itself
struct __declspec(uuid("5e772660-389b-11ce-ba48-080036250302"))
MyClass : IDispatch
{
...
// other functions...
...
IDispatchPtr Function1;
__declspec(property(get=GetArea,put=PutArea))
IDispatchPtr Function2;
__declspec(property(get=GetSize))
...
}
I create an instance of MyClass using:
MyClassPtr pMyInstance;
This pMyInsatance have to be provided to another API function but in form of a SAFEARRAY!This function can look like below:
FinalFunction(SAFEARRAY * * pMyClassInstances, .. , ..)
So I have to convert my variable MyClass (can be more than one in my code of course, but I want to limit only to one instance for now) to this SAFEARRAY .. How can I do this?
I try:
SAFEARRAYBOUND rgsabound[1];
rgsabound[0].lLbound = 0;
rgsabound[0].cElements = 1;
long a=0;
SAFEARRAY * vMyClassArray;
vMyClassArray.vt = VT_VARIANT|VT_ARRAY;
vMyClassArray= SafeArrayCreate(VT_VARIANT, 1, rgsabound);
SafeArrayPutElement(vMyClassArray .parray, &a, &(pMyInstance));
Finally I put my class instance as an argument for:
FinalFunction(pMyInstance, .. , ..)
It doesn't seem to work, probably because argument pMyInstance can not be express as a VARIANT declarated type.
The class I want to work with - MyClass- which exist in a .tlh file, is part of the API interface, so it is not exactly a user define type, but more an interface define type. I mention this becose I try to work with VT_RECORD type in SafeArrayCreate(...) instead of VT_VARIANT type, but this imply an idl function declaration for my type, and other additional stuff
Any ideea ??

I use a third part COM API lib. I need to pass an array of double to a method which accept VARIANT*, Is there any simple way to cast from double* to VARIANT*, I don't want to create a VARIANT array and copy each double value into it.

songll wrote: I don't want to create a VARIANT array and copy each double value into it.
Hmmmm - no can do. You'll need to pass a VARIANT that contains a SAFEARRAY of doubles. Something like:
SAFEARRAY* sa = SafeArrayCreateVector(VT_R8, 0, count);
double* pSAData;
if (SUCCEEDED(SafeArrayAccessData(sa, (void HUGEP**)&pSAData)))
{
std::copy(start, start+count, pSAData);
SafeArrayUnaccessData(sa);
VARIANT v;
V_VT(&v) = VT_ARRAY|VT_R8;
V_ARRAY(&v) = sa;
}should set the VARIANT, then you can pass a pointer to it.
