Hello Richard,
Thank you for your comment but I am just wondering if this is normal only these two are failing and the other providers not. I just rely to gmapcontrol which offers these different providers and by just assigning them to gmapcontrol.mapProvider should render the selected map type. Maybe should I remove these two as it may required a token to invoke internally the gmapcontrol api request ? Do you have already played with gmapcontrol for yahoo and nearmap ?

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello Dave,

Thank you very much for your answer.
Happy New Year 2021.

Hello OriginalGriff,

Thank you for your reply. I have the impression it was done to recreate the table with possible newly added columns as it starts from a dummy database but I cannot get the answer as the colleagure retired and the issue just comes out recently.
I have done exactly how you described and that fixes the issue but I was wondering why it has worked happily in the past without that pre-view deletion. It is just to be sure I do not miss something.

The modification sounds logical but wonder why this was not introduce at first instance.

Thanks again.
Best regards.

Thank you

Thank you very much for your inputs.
Have a splendid day and stay safe.

Hello,
Thank you for your Reply.
I did my own implementation of IPersistPropertyBag and I could reach it via a query interface on the put xxx property. The issue is how to create an instance of IPropertyBag and how to be sure this will be store in a resource location in the container. If you have already experience with these interface, I would be really glad to read good related links about it. What I found was most of the time related to MFC implementation and easily using the dopropexchange layer. If you have good atl related links about my query it would really be a pleasure to jump into. Thanks in advance. Best end seasons greetings.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you very much,
This is a really nice good starting point.
I will focus on that approach.
Thanks again.

Hello.
Thank you for you answer. It was to speed up the development.
I will create it on my own. I was just concerned if php / mysql will full fill my expectations. I have seen react now as new way of website development and I wonder if this is better to move onto that framework.

Thank you very much Mohibur,
I checked the link you posted me but I could not find the answer to my question.
If you have more inputs about it, this would really be appreaciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

This code sample seems a good starting point for study base as it draws basic shape. Currently I cannot do too much as I have no idea how it behaves and I would like to collect more information to understand opengl better and then feel more confident on this topic. Do you have good udemy or other online rooms, I could apply to learn this graphical library. I hope they will cover opengl memory management as well.

CurrentLy I have two activex com object using opengl and they use the same init steps but they cannot be placed on the same form. This is why this sample is really good candidate for discussions. I can see the gllist shared between the two viewers seems to be the reason. Once I have more inputs I will share with you.

Thank very much in advance.
Best regards.

MiQi

This is indeed what I was looking for.
Thank you very much for your reply.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Thank you very much. It was indeed a good approach.
I will now post my entire code set to see if I am on the right path. It works but maybe am I missing important keys.
Thanks again.

ah la la, how to fix that.

Hm. it was far from my intention, I accepted both comment to thanks everybody.

Thank you very much that is the solution. I get now the right expected result.

Thank you very much that is the solution. I get now the right expected result.

Thank you, looks promising.

The target I have received as mission is to develop a waterfall control.
I do not see where the cover of text display and rotation around axis, font selection.
As you have already followed the course, are these parts also covered as I will need to prompt the annotations ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards.
MiQi

Thank you.

Thanks for your input and I will certainly follow the same path.
Are you a freelancer ? If this is the case, I assume you can manage the work as you like and get directly in touch with the customer directly ?

Yes I am working offsite and I do not have access to the device.

I am getting it currently from a usb Logitech microphone. I will have to test it from a different hardware which I do not have it yet but I assume the principle will be the same.

Thank you for your reply this helps me to get the converted value
I have to swap the 2 and 0 byte values.
I am just wondering now why the sine wave I am getting is flat on the edge.
Maybe is the sign not taken properly into account?

Hello everyone
Does NAudio support 24 bits per sample in recording mode ?

Thank you.

Hello Rick,

Thank you for your input.
I have continued my research on the web and found articles about WASAPI.
Do you know good easy tutorial related to Windows Core audio in c++ or even in c# ?
Thank you very much in advance

Hello Karen, Richard,
Thank you for your replies.
As I said, I have difficulties to collect more inputs as I do not have a direct link to the cumster having the issue. I will put that issue on hold as I will not reach a direct solution. I just found the IM might be an addins present on the customer pc which is not available on other computer. I have also modified DoPropExchange to improve the persistency as this might be an issue.
I send back the inputs to the manager and I will see what will be the next step.
May thanks for all your inputs.

Hello Richard,
I have no doubt about that. In this current case, the issue reached me via via. Thanks for your your input anyway. ActiveX seems to work not so smoothly on Office 2016/365. For example with PowerPoint pptx file, the persistency is not working at all.

Well, if I could, I would do it but when you have to deal with asian customer it is not so convenient.

Hello Sir,

Thank you for your reply.
It is this kind of information I am looking for and which interface needs to be covered in the activeX control to apply the binary persistency. Currently a save action is invoked but nothing is stored in the pptx file under the ActiveX section.

Do you have an idea how the .bin file is generated ?

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards

Thank you soooooo much Bill. You are bringing nice tips.

Thank you so much.
I was pretty sure something direct should exist.
That is exactly what I am looking for.

I thought there was a magic way to create it from the pasting an image on top with transparency. But maybe is the drawing method the fastest way.

Thank you.
I will manage it by myselft from your great inputs.

That is correct, I have changed the naming. Thank you.

Hello Jochen
Thank you for your reply but I am still wondering why on top of chinese characters it is not so easy to get this symbol ® available/displayed ?

What is the western code page ?
In all example, it refers the code page to 134 (Simplified Chinese, gb2312 - Mainland China(PRC) and Singapore). I am certainly missing something basic but I do not figure out currently what could be the issue.
Do you have a way to provide me an example code ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
MiQi

Hello Sir,
Thank you for the info but I tried the sample program and it gives also funny effect. The second chinese character is not correctly displayed.

I am even not involved with chinese character but with this single ® symbol.
I assume this is related to font but which one.

This is a vb6 project used by a customer and later on this year this will be converted to vb.net but for the time beeing a hint would be really appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,

Hello,
I agreed with Richard, in VB.NET or C#,.., type of integer is a system.int32 (so 32 bits) which will match with a long c++ type. I have fixed the issue by using VARIANT to pass my array of integer and that works well.
Thank you.
Best regards.

Hello Sir,
Thank you for your reply.
I have already a mechanism in place to invoke an action. The only unknown is which sendmessage event to invoke to close the menu open.
Do you have an idea?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for your great inputs.

Hello Andy,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have currently a monitoring process running while my main application is running.
I was thinking to add a method in this monotoring app to check if the working set and the private memory is behaving properly. When a criteria is reached I could then invoke gc.collect.

Maybe I am thinking too far.

What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello Jochen,

As the numnber of shorts is bellow 9 items, I will have to change the unsigned long pattern system implemented by one of my previous colleague to a different more flexible solution,
Thank you anyway for your inputs.

Best regards.
MiQi.

Hello Jochen,
Nice but I need to store into an unsigned long ?

Do you have a magic idea ?
This is where I am locked currently.


Thank you very much in advance,
Best regards.
MiQi.

Hello Jochen,
I am just looking for a way to generate a unsigned long representation of shorts array. A kind of dim code which will allow me to unpack it and rebuild the shorts array.

Currently the entire application I have to maintain is based on unsigned long otherwise I would be able to use LARGE_INTEGER or other types.

Do you have a magic idea ?

Thank you very much in advance,
Best regards.

Thank you but this is more on the .net c# learning plan I am looking for.
The topic you provide me is great but only based on application life cycle not on the language itself.

Do you have already build such a schedule with most important topics to cover?

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello Ryan,
If Il do not handle exception in methodfive, I will never had the chance to reach methodsix in the else statment.
What is then the best pattern for error handling ? Or is it case by case ?
Thank you very much.

Hello Sergey,

Thank you for you quick answer.
I tried that and this works pretty well for managed process.

When I try on unmanaged process with clr option, it does not show me the assemblies I have referenced.
This is what I am looking for.
Do you know if there is a way to get them ? Like procexp is doing.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello All,

If I use memory mapped file, I need to have a special structure to be able to change a simple property field of a sub object and also inform the reader which part to update. I do not want to reconstruct my global object all the time as I can have huge sub collection items.

Hello,
Thank y ou for your answer.
What does mmf mean?
Thank you.

The goal is to replace PInvoke to dig into memory to reach some parcel of data in a database style way.

What could be the best way to proceed then ?
This seems maybe there is a hole on the market then.

Hello,
Thank you for your quick answer.
I have a very complex object and In-Memory style database would make it easier to update only a few property values from a deep object.
I am using a geometry object and inside, I have components, lines, triangles, ...
What could you recommand me as best alternative ?

Thank you very much in advance for your inputs.

How could I then be able to add win32 api statment into the DllMain if I want to prompt something.
I have a licensing library where the validation prompting message is done in DllMain and if fails, it will unload the dll by returning FALSE.

What could you suggest me ?

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.
SuperMiqi

Hello Richard,

I suppose you refer to:
<<
If your DLL is linked with the C run-time library (CRT), the entry point provided by the CRT calls the constructors and destructors for global and static C++ objects. Therefore, these restrictions for DllMain also apply to constructors and destructors and any code that is called from them.
>>

The issue I am having is the hInstance validity value which seems not to be initialized properly.
To verify that, I was hoping to be able to prompt a messagebox like using the library without the clr option.

yes on the same computer

Thank you very much, it works well.

Hello Ron,
Ok.
For you this is the only solution to cover that issue ?
Nothing can be applied in the c++/cli code part ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Ron,

Thank you.
May I apply a block.copy to avoid to use a for loop ietration ?

Thank you.

This works well when we use combobox in a main docked ribbon control.

Hello Sergey,

Thank you for your quick answer.
Could you please tell me what you should advise me to cover that issue? I need to place a x32 bits ActiveX control on a WinForm x64bits application. I do not have a x64bits version of the activex control I am trying to use.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello Matlab,

What do you mean with 'try catch' in vb6, I use 'on error ...' and this returns me 'object required'. I am not using vb.net where I could indeed apply a try catch around my statements.

Best regards.
MiQi.

Hello Marcus,

I installed one more the required vb6 runtimes from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192461/en-us but this did not fix it.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you.

Hello Earloc,

Thank you for your answer. The structure is here just basic, I have more fields to define but I wonder why the NewField.SetValue(st64Bits, objNewValue); generates me an exception. This looks to be a very nice way to apply convertion, no ?
That would do in an automatic way what you are proposing.

Hello Sergey,

Do you know when I could find small tutorials about the approach you are proposing me ?

Thank you.

Ok, thank you I will have a try.

This is to be able to paste an active control with data together with the text document. This could also be pasted as a static picture.

Do you think this is possible ?

Thank you.

Hello Stephen,

I have found how to use it.
In the datacontract we need to use the IsReference attribute to link the classes (in child / parent mode).

Thank you for you good tips.
Best regards.
MiQi.

Hello Stephen,

I am still struggling with these objects.

Now I am getting:
Employees An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhos
t:9010/wcfEmployeesService. This could be due to the service endpoint binding no
t using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context bei
ng aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server
logs for more details.

Not very straight forward.

What could you advise me ?

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.
MiQi.

Hello Stephen.

Thank for your quick reply. I have tried your solution but still cannot get access to the employees list from the client side. Is WCF forseen to apply .NET remoting like I was using with vs2005. I wanted to use WCF because it is easier to debug but it seems I will not reach the goal. Do you know if this is anyway possible ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello Sir,

I always get a null reference when I request my object. If I do not define the Emloyee class members, this works fine, I can discover the employees collection
via the debugger. I am using Visual Studio 2010 on Window 7 64bits.

I am trying to proceed as follow:

[ServiceContract]
[KnownType(typeof(Employees))]
public interface IEmployeesService
{
Employees Members{ [OperationContract()] get; }
}

public class EmployeesService : IEmployeesService
{
Employees _cEmployees = new Employees();

public Employees Members
{
get { return _cEmployees; }
}
}

[DataContract]
[KnownType(typeof(Employee))]
public class Employees
{
[DataMember]
private List<employee> _cEmployees = null;

public Dimensions()
{
_cEmployees = new List<employee>();
}

public long Add(Employee Emp)
{
_cEmployees .Add(Emp);
return _cEmployees .Count;
}
}

[DataContract]
public class Employee
{
private string m_Name;
private int m_Age;
private int m_Salary;
private string m_Designation;
private string m_Manager;

[DataMember]
public string Name
{
get { return m_Name; }
set { m_Name = value; }
}

[DataMember]
public int Age
{
get { return m_Age; }
set { m_Age = value; }
}
}

Do you know if this is possible ? What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you very much in advance for your help / tips.

Best regards.

What do you think ? How long will this still be supported ?

Hello Vitaly,

The main application is a console application.
Inside the activex.dll (vb6) project, I launch the form like: frm.Show 0

During the init class phase, I can access to my main object but once the form is complete and the console application is in idle mode, I get the locking effect.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Hello ledtech,

The problem is still present, I tried to via the classes_root but this does not remove the shield icon, it has just modified the floating menu selections.

I do not have a manifest, it has been developed on vb6.
I have re posted the link maybe will this help you to have an idea.

Hello jk chan,

I think after several loop iterations the memory usage is stable, it does not release immediatly but when allocation is needed it does not increase the application memory. I think it keeps it (magically) for later purposes.
If you have an idea how this could happen, I would be happy to read it.

Thank you very much in advance
Best regards.

Hello SAKryukov,

Thank you for your reply but the project I have to maintain was developped on Visual Basic 6.

Have a nice day.

Hello Sir,

Thank you very much. I still would like to know what you could suggest me to see the real memory usage ? Do you know a good memory tool viewer to check the memory usage ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello ledtech3,
Here is a link where you will find a screen shot of my issue:

Hello ledtech3,

I have tried to apply the following lines in admin mode but the icon is still unchanged.

taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
shutdown /r

Where is this setting coming from ? Very strange!!
Do you have any idea ?

Thank you very much in advance.
Michel.

Hello ledtech3,

Thank you so much for your great inputs. I will digest it and let you know.
Have a great day.
Thanks.
Michel.

Hello ledtech3,

Thanks for the quick response.

Do you talk about:
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
shutdown /r

This is very closed to my first attempt. The file iconcache.db is not present on my system and it results to not changing the icon behaviour.

Do you mean you have a tool to solve that issue ? Or is it just a batch file which executes these few lines ?

I will try on another Win7 pc tomorrow and will let you know if the problem is only related to my pc.

Thank you very much in advance.
Michel.

Hello ledtech3.

Yes I am talking about the right click "Run as Administrator" Option.
One of my application is always flagged with admin shield icon but I do not want it. Very stranged where this can be related to.
Where should I clear it from the registry ?

I found:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2241769607-3162700916-239456858-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Persisted
and
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2241769607-3162700916-239456858-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

But that did not change the behaviour, it is still set with the admin shield icon.

What could be the solution or the reason ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Michel.

Hello MarqW,

Thank you for your reply.

The goal of this thread is to manage requested from com interface and one request I need to provide is the creation of mdi child window. This is why I was simulating the requirement based on the sample code I provided. How would it be possible then to invoke such a request. Do you mean the main winform needs to support automation interface ?

Thank you very much in advance.

If I understand the best way will be to expose a .NET Remoting object (application life time) then creating a COM interop class library which will be used like a tunnel between the two communication solutions.

Is it what you have in mind ?

Hello Johan,

Thank you for you reply.

I would like to clarify your comment about ActiveX on WPF form.

Let's say I develop the MDI main application with WinForm window style, if I decide to encapsulate a WPF user control, will I use the DirectX drawing technilogoy or will this be routed to GDI+?

As I have lot of 3rd parties ActiveX controls, maybe do I have to use as you mentionend and then open a way for WPF Mdi Child form ?

What do you think ?

Thank you in advanced.
