• George Abraham yet another dwmapi.dll/IE7 issue

  There have been several threads concerning dwmapi.dll and IE7. Here's another one: I've created an MFC DLL that is being accessed by a Ruby script, something like: MyFunction = Win32API.new(mydll,"MyFunction",["P"],"V") On an IE7-installed machine, the Ruby script hangs (or, with the debug version of the DLL, the DLL fails to load). Running depends on the DLL indicates dwmapi.dll is missing. Earlier versions of my DLL which also had this delayed dependency didn't cause the Ruby script to hang, but when I added functionality to the DLL (functionality that must eventually depend on dwmapi.dll), the Ruby script started to hang. As with other threads related to this issue, uninstalling IE7 fixes the problem sinc ...Show All

• Daikoku Unmanaged C++ and VS2005: Hidden .NET Requirements?

  Hi everyone. While developing some unmanaged C++ DLL that uses COM and ATL, I've been having issues with deploying the DLL to other machines - those without .NET Framework v2. I've found out after some digging that changing the runtime library from its default to one of the debug libraries (and none of the DLL ones) removed this dependency, but introduced some crashes that im not entirely sure are related to my own application's logic. What is the proper way of creating unmanaged c++ DLLs in VC++2005, Who use ATL and COM Thanks in advance. And if you decide to create your DLL with the static linkable CRT version you can ship your CRT without other dependencies. .NET Framework is not required.  ...Show All

• vgt918cs WSAStringToAddress rejecting some IPs

  Hi, this is my first time to post here, I hope I am doing so in the correct forum. In a current project I am parsing some IPs and WSAStringToAddress is rejecting what appear to be valid IPs while accepting others. Here is some sample code but I have tried a lot of other small tweaks hoping to coax it into not giving me an error.      string ipaddr = "004.002.145.096";     const char* src = ipaddr.c_str();         sockaddr address;     int address_length = sizeof(sockaddr);     memset(&address, 0, address_length);     reinterpret_cast<sockaddr_in*>(&address)->sin_family = AF_INET;       &nb ...Show All

• QianChen creating C files

  hi..how can i create C files in VC++ 2005 express edition. . thansk moreover how do i debug and run the program It seems to me that you did not create a project. You must create a project before adding files, compiling, running and debugging. Go to File/New/New Project and from Visual C++ pick something like Win32 Console Application. A wizard will show up, leave all the setting as they are and just press finish. The wizard generates a file that contains the main function. It's a cpp file but you can rename it to have a c extension if you wish. You can start the project in the debugger from the Debug menu, Start Debugging (or F5 key). ...Show All

• SnakeSV time_t to displayable format?

  Hi How do I cast time_t into a format that I can print out I want to store the value of a time_t into the registry, but I was given the error unable to cast the type into LPCSTR. I tried to wrap it in a CString and got the same error. I also tried to cast it by using (LPCSTR) (tTime) but it failed too. Likewise, I have a DWORD which contains a number but I was unable to cast them to either a std::string or CString to print it out. What should I do Will using reinteprete_cast<> work Once you are using MFC, you can avoid all that rope dancing by searching for time_t_to_human_radable_string_CRTs or cool_STL_stuff_that_can_do_everything . Well, let's say we have a time_t value. Both MFC classes CTime and COleDateTime have ...Show All

• Erik Pedersen Trouble with TreeView Label Editing

  Hi, I'm Dan. I'm fairly new to Win32 programming but have been doing it for several months now (independant, no classes/books/etc) and am starting to grasp it. I have been trying to, as a learning experience, create a game design program that would allow for easy PC game creation with little coding experience (similar to GameMaker if any are familiar). Anyway, I am currently trying to implement a TreeView to display resources that the game designer adds into the project (sprites, objects, etc). Before I begin delving into more critical details of the program, I am trying to first establish the overall environment. I have recently allowed the user to add resources (though they do nothing so far) and have put in context menus for the resourc ...Show All

• Grant McElroy static const member variable initialization

  Hi, I want to initialize a member variable of a class by calling RegisterWindowMessage and i want to keep this variable as static so that this variable is initialized only once during the execution of the program. When i declare the variable as static, i am getting an error which says that only const static variables can be initialized within a class. When i make the variable as static const, i get the following error - Error 11 error C2057: expected constant expression I think this is because the value i am assigning to the variable is the value which the function RegisterWindowMessage will return and this will not be a const value. Could anyone please suggest a way out of this. Thanks in Anticipation, With regards, ...Show All

• MingMa How to Reduce Memory Leaks in DotNet

  Hi all, Can anyone plz suggest me how to reduce the memory leaks in dotnet What all steps can i take while coding for this If you are using visual c++, you might try this. http://www.codeproject.com/tools/visualleakdetector.asp or some other memory leak detector. In pure .NET application memory leaks are impossible. If you allocate your own unmanaged resources, you need to release them. Every class which allocates unmanaged resource, must have destructor and finalizer, and release unmanaged resources there. What memory leaks do you have Please describe your problem with more details. ...Show All
