MoveWindow worked for me although it took me a while to figure out how the command works.
thanks a lot!

Hi all,
I got two unsigned chars that I need to convert into a unsigned short whereby the two chars act as the upper and lower bytes of the short. How do I go about this. It seems in my head to be a simple matter but I just can't figure it out.
Thank you in advance
Rich

<font color=blue>unsigned char</font> ucMSB = 0x6F,
ucLSB = 0xA4;
<font color=green>
<font color=blue>unsigned short</font> usVal = (((<font color=blue>unsigned short</font>)ucMSB) << 8) | ((<font color=blue>unsigned short</font>)ucLSB);
easy isn't it ?!
pssst: it seems that you have some troubles with bytes manipulation ; as it is not the first time you ask such question... what are you trying to do with all these ?

Thanks for the help guys.
What am I doing? I'm converting user input ( from gui ) into the smallest possible form ( hence the splitting of data ), transmit it to another source via serial comms which then sends a message back. The message then has to put back into a readable form so it can be displyed in the gui. I've got the Tx side of things sorted now but I'm just tying up the Rx data.
I knew it was simple but I just couldn't figure it out. Time to blow brains out I think.

short nYourShort = cYourChar1;
(&nYourShort) + 1 = cYourChar2;
Or:
short nYourShort = ((short) cYourChar1) + ((short) cYourChar2) * 255;
why multiply cYourChar2 with 255 you ask. Well its the same as shifting all the bits 8 places to the left (towards the MSB). The equivilant would be: ((short)cYourChar2) << 8.
There are many solutions to this problem, these are just a few.

isn't it 256 instead ???
however, it is not a so good habit to code bits and bytes manipulation..

 I'm wrong 1 bit once again... And it was you who corrected me the first time too, if I remember correctly.

remember that 8 bits shifting equal to 2^8 (2 for base-2, 8 for 8 bits), or better equals to 0x100...

I thought that odd value was a little bit strange! Anyway, thanks for notifing me.

Can we use mbtowc instead

Hi
Is there anyway to handle the forced exit of an application by task manager?
Regards
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I know, you canno't stop the taskmanager from killing your app. The reason for this is how the task manager terminates the application. The TM achieves this by cleaning up all resources of the process (just like a normal termination, but without notification.)
Let me elaborate:
Windows manages the CPU time that is given to a process / thread with certain queues. If a process is able to run (Ready 2 Run, R2R), it waits in a queue until it gets CPU time.
If the process / thread is blocked, it waits somewhere else until it becomes R2R. After getting that state, it is placed in the queue.
The taskmanager removes the process handle from this system, so the process will not get any CPU time anymore. After doing that, windows will clean up all the resources user by that process (as much as it can). So your process just disappears without any notification.
Hope this helps

Task manager before removing the process from the system doesn't it send any notification to the process? Are there any way to track this?
|
|
|
|
|
As I explained in my earlier post, the taskmanager doesn't notify the application.
The taskmanager is like a thief. It takes something from windows and it doesn't notify anything...

Are you sure about that? If I make a modification to a a text file in notepad and attempt to shut down notepad from the task manager, notepad pops up and asks me if I want to save the work. Task manager then pops up and says that notepad is not responding. While I've never checked into the message sent from task manager, that obviously seems to indicate that the applicatoin does receive some sort of notification.

If you shot down the application, than you recieve a notification, but if you end the process (on the process tab) you don't get it. Plus if you press the "End now" buttond on the dialog that the TM pops up, the application is terminated no matter what.
You can conclude from this that it is not safe to rely on that behaviour.

Yep. You're correct. I just ran some tests and verified with spy++ that on the "end now", you don't get a message. I'm thinking there's got to be a way to prevent the shut down though as I've seen apps in the past that I couldn't close. However, it's probably some kludge like stating you're in debug mode when you're not - I seem to remember messages to the effect that the app couldn't be shut down becuase it was being debugged when clearly it wasn't.
