• Visual C++ Passing data between separate applications

  Previously, I employed the use of CEvent objects as a trigger to produce synchronized operation of two separate projects. Now, I have to figure out out to feed hardware acquired data from one application, into the analysis application which was synchronously started. I know this is a rather poor setup since acquisition and analysis should happen within the same app, but in this case, the latter was handled by another dev group. I do know is that the CEvent object can be set and reset to signal change, but is it possible to use it to pass values I need to pass water level readings so naturally its a double (float64). I'm not too sure if there's already an existing post for this too, or even if CEvent is not the right method to use in this c ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do you direct 'PrintPreviewDialog1' print output to 'PrintDialog1.ShowDialog'

  My PrintPreviewDialog1 works fine, also my PrintDialog1 where I can specify the usual printer, copies etc. and work with the result to access eg. the Copies. However - the PrintPreviewDialog1 'Print' button simply prints one copy to the default printer ... how do I set this button to link to PrintDialog1 instead The usual If PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog = (the items available) then ..... etc. doesn't intercept if the user has clicked the Print button, this action just fires-up the print routine direct. Any clues Nick B Hi Nick, You're right, I forgot about the print preview needing to run the PrintDocument events to provide the preview. It gets a little patchy now but add a SkipDialog boo ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Dbf Autoincrement with ADO

  Hello everybody, I created a table with an autoincrement field( CREATE TABLE `Synch_LogFile` ( `ID` I Autoinc NOT NULL, `TableName` C (100) NOT NULL, ...) ) when I try To open it by ADO with VB (Select * From Synch_LogFile) I get this error message: [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Not a table. What's I'm doing wrong Thanks, 1) it will not work with ODBC and newer table capabilities such as autoincrenent fields as I said.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiling Native DLL- Absolute Noob

  I'm a noob to VC++ and C++ in general. I managed to use the IDE with the windows SDK to creat a DLL that works great. My problem is that the DLL seems to require .NET to run. How can I compile the DLL so .NET is not required, am I correct to understand that this must be compiled as "native" Chris You were absolutely right about the redistributable package. My IDE and SDK were out of date so I rebuilt everything with the latest versions. I then double checked the parameters you mentioned. I still had the same problem because I didn't have the redistibutable package installed on the test machine, as soon as this was installed everything worked great. Thanks for the help ...Show All

• Visual C# SPI_GETACCESSTIMEOUT Retrieving the values

  Hello all, I am pretty new to the c# programming arena, that doesn't mean I haven't programmed before!. My problem is in accessing certain settings from the user32 library for the SystemParameters function. I want to bring back the ACCESSTIMEOUT Settings it doesn't matter how they are stored, just to return the values in a variable would be good. I have tried to return this function but to no avail and I know I am doing this incorrectly. First of all I have setup public const uint SPI_GETACCESSTIMEOUT = 0x003C; This takes care of the uiAction in SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETACCESSTIMEOUT, uiParam, pvParam, fwinIni) The uiParam is the tricky part because I need the sizeof(ACCESSTIMEOUT) returned in cbSize. Because I am u ...Show All

• .NET Development IO.Ports STX,ETX

  Hi I'm developing a program that communicates with a printer that's using STX and ETX protocol, the answers are not of the same length, how should I read, should I use ReadExisting() Should I use SerialDataReceivedEventHandler My idea is to trigger the event when I've received ETX, how will I do that Has anybody had the same problem Don't use ReadExisting(), it converts the received bytes to a Unicode string. Use Read(byte[], int, int) instead. You'd normally use the DataReceived event to keep the UI functional. Store the bytes you get from Read() into a byte array, keep reading until you have enough bytes to recognize the printer's response. Beware that DataReceived runs on another thread so you shouldn't touch any forms or cont ...Show All
