• Participant Error messsage

  The version of SP is 20040803.231319. It has been suggested that I post my query in another forum. This I will do. Thanks for responses. Actually I stumbled over that original post and already asked there for your version of psapi.dll. According to the other thread you are running that on WinXP SP2, correct In the directory where BTHelpNotifier.exe is located, is there also a psapi.dll If yes, compare that version to c:\windows\system32\psapi.dll (look on the drive where you installed windows on, if that is not C:) According to the MSDN documentation the above mentioned entry point should be available with XP. -- SvenC I did as you suggested with about 4 files in BTHelp and it work ...Show All

• Montse error LNK2001

  Hi, (I saw the post on same subject but it seems to be a little different. so I'll use some word from that post!) There is a project earlier written in VC++ 6.0.  I opened the same project in VS. NET 2005 and I am trying to compile.  The code compiles properly (with couple of warnings) but while linking I am getting unresolved external symbol errors like this: The linker seems to have problem with seeing .obj from files in program (which are in the debug directory). It doesn't seem that the /Zl switch or the /NODEFAULTLIB  are on. 1>Linking... 1>Utm.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RTC_Shutdown 1>Zone.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RTC_Shutdown 1>Zones.obj ...Show All

• Bert666 can someone explain String^ ?

  The code below does not compile since String^ is not a String. String^ path1 = String(argv[1]); I've been looking for some background information on how to handle the ^ symbol in C++. But search engines don't process puncuation marks. I know this is called a reference, but that word appears on at least half of all the web pages related to programming. Can someone help me fix this Or point me to a page which gives a coherent explaination of the concept Thanks Try this article of mine.

• Giber Visual C++ 5.0 Support

  Hi All, I do not think this is the correct forum for asking this question, but I have also not found a suitable forum to post this question. The question is 'Has Microsoft Withdrawn support for Visual C++ 5.0 or Visual C++ 6.0 " This is important as my department would go on and buy Visual Studio 2005 and invest the time required to convert all our projects created in Visual C++ 5.0 to Visual Studio 2005. thanks and regards Saby Thanks Ayman, That confirmed it.

• MarcIrvin struct

  Hi all, What is the size of a struct type when i create a struct with float and unsigned char, the size of the struct is 8 bytes instead of 5 bytes. anyone went thorugh this problem... struct test { float a; unsigned char b; }; test a; memset(&a, 0, sizeof(a)); the size fot a is 8 instead of 5 byte.

Each member is padded to fill at least the number of bytes indicated by the alignment. To have your struct be 5 ...Show All

• gotstu How to copy a specific contents of a char array to a string variable

  Dear folk, using win32 C++, I am looking for a function that can copy a specific number of charactes (starting from a specific index), of an char array to a string variable. a code snippet as follows: { char charArray[255]; string stringVariable; //copy a substring from charArray[12] to charArray[25] into string. } I wonder if there is such a string function that can help me to achieve my requirment. Regards Bassam There are many ways: stringVariable = std::string(&charArray[12], &charArray[25]); or stingVariable.resize(13); memcpy(&stringVariable[0], &charArray[12], 13); etc. etc. Probably assign is appropriate too: ...Show All

• Imad.Ozone how to update a logon notification dll

  This is a non-language-specific windows question but I can't find a general purpose windows forum. I have a service (automatic start at boot up) that needs to know as users logon and logoff. I created a dll and made the registry entries to get WinLogon to see it and notify my entry points. It works perfectly, communicating ever so nicely with my service. My problem is with updating the dll. I can't overwrite it with a new version because WinLogon has loaded it and has not released it. Right now, if I want a new version, I have to remove the WinLogon registry entries, reboot, copy the new dll file into the system directory, restore the registry entries, and reboot again. All that just to update a dll!!! Needless to say, I find this tire ...Show All

• Always Learning How to PostMessage between 2 separate applications?

  I'm trying to implement messaging between 2 different applications using PostMessage (HWND_BROADCAST, msg, 0, 0) in one, and setting a On_Message handler in the other. The idea to test this is that when PostMessage is sent from App1, App2 will receive the message with On_Message and call the appropriate handler function. Unfortunately, its seems that this setting doesnt work. I set the message ID to the same one for both applications (something like 9990) . I did a search thru MSDN and had a clue on RegisterWindowMessage but have no idea on how to implement this, especially when the messageID must be a constant for ON_MESSAGE to work. Is there any way around this problem Actually, I agree most with using ...Show All

• UmairKhan (MSVCRT) _iob disappeared?

  What can I do to replace the functionality of _iob Seems to be missing in MSVCR7/8 (using VS2005). It is not necessary for the developer to access _iob directly for this problem to occur. We're running into the same problem when linking with libs which were compiled under VC 6. It could be that any lib calling printf() family functions wind up compiling a reference to _iob into the executable/library. I've seen the __iob problem as well... I'm trying to make a mixed managed/native C++ wrapper for a static third party library. Upon linking, I get errors saying various symobls are already defined. E.g. libcmt.lib(mlock.obj) : error LNK2005: __unlock already ...Show All
