Personally, I'd look into MSDE, mostly because Access is crap if you're used to using a real database. MSDE is free to distribute if you own SQL Server Developer Edition.

The app may be used in small shops where the price of SQL Server would bankrupt the business
I downloaded SQL Server Express not long ago, and I'm sure I read that it will be free when it goes live. I can't remember it's exact limitations.

I think it had to do with no support for business intelligence and lack of support for very large databases. Not anything a small shop would need in the near future.

i am trying to do something like this
if(abc=numeric)
cout << "abc is numeric";
obviyesly this does not work can anyone giv me the code for the is numeric function thx^^

|

Well are you trying to test if its equal, because if you are then you meant to do
if(abc==numeric)
cout << "abc is numeric";
edit:
sorry i dont think i read that right, maybe you might try googling the "isnum" function.

isalphanum && !isalpha. You need to do it char by char, if you have a std:string you can use a function object to do this.

isdigit looks a little bit more nice.

Yeah, someone else answered that. I'd never seen that - I am self taught, and when I looked for isnumeric, I obviously didn't spot isdigit, and I kept using that method ever since. Live and learn, I guess....

I'm also self taught. I came across that function a few weeks ago when I also needed to chech if a string was numeric or not. It's not the ideal solution since it will return false on hexa decimal numbers, but it's a start..

I found this in one of my old libraries. Ignore the CHECK, it's an internal macro.
BOOL AfxIsNumeric(LPCTSTR lpszText, BOOL bSigned, int nBase)
{
CHECK(lpszText != NULL, FALSE);
LPTSTR lpszEndPtr = NULL;
if (bSigned)
_tcstoi64(lpszText, &lpszEndPtr, nBase);
else
_tcstoui64(lpszText, &lpszEndPtr, nBase);
return ((lpszEndPtr != lpszText) && (*lpszEndPtr == _T('\0')));
}

Try something like this:
#include <ctype.h>
bool IsNumeric(const char* p)
{
int len = strlen(p);
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
if (!isdigit(p[i]))
return false;
}
return true;
}
Note: I didn't compiled it, so it may contain some error

I am working on a winsock application that has the ability to connect to many servers. I have a dialog set up to select the server. My problem is that once a server is selected i cannot close that connection and reconnect to another server without restarting the application. I tried TerminateThread but it only caused my program to crash. Any Suggestions?
Thanks, Brandon

Hi,
I wrote an OCX few months back. Now I need to convert this OCX into a DLL with same functionality.
This is MFC OCX. What is an easy way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
|
|

|

What exactly do you mean by converting it into a DLL?
If my memory serves, an OCX is already a DLL. It's a special kind of DLL because it's supposed to contain one or more ActiveX controls, but it's a DLL with a .ocx file extension anyway. So in that sense, to convert it into a DLL you'd just need to rename the file...

I dont think its that simple
OCX need a user interface container (Form, etc.).

If I start an MFC app as a service in NT or XP, what call do I send back to OS to acknowledge the start? I can get it to start, but windows says no response and shuts it down...
any help or a pointer to an example is really appreciated.

How about StartServiceCtrlDispatcher() ?

Okay, a little venting here....Here's what I believe but do not know as fact. Serial comm ports should be added to the registry at HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\SerialComm. For a minority of the new USB to Serial adapter devices they are located there after they are installed.
However, many manufacturers (perhaps their driver developers) are not signifying that they have installed an additional serial port in the HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\SerialComm key.
What are they doing? They're installing it in the USB section of the registry under...HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\\USB\ with a subkey of, I hope, a manufacturer unique Id/PID.
e.g. HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\Vid_050d&Pid_0109 identifies the Belkin F5U109 USB to Serial port adapter. And get this! Its with subkeys 196669\PortName\COM !!!
So, how does one go about finding all installed serial ports under USB enum keys??? It appears that different manufacturers are using different terminology for key/subkey names e.g some may say port (can't verify its a serial port), not sure all are using the term "COM" to indicate it is a serial port.
Isn't there supposed to be a standard or convention that manufacturers SHOULD follow? I don't know whether to enumerate keys looking for serial, port, COM, adapter or any and all combinations. There's got to be a better way. Thanks.
I want to add that I've got a delivered program where I autodetect serial comm ports and allow the user to select one. I exclude modems. Works most of the time except recently, I've gotten more calls about new USB to serial port adapters not working with my program but are recognized by hyperterminal. I don't know how Windows is detecting that these new USB serial ports. Hopefully, somebody knows.

Hello,
I don't know how the registry key things work, but I also use usb serial port emulators. This[^] function finds all the comm ports and even tells you if it's an USB port!

I am building an application used for tenant billing. I have to find the number of days in each billing period. This is inputed by the user.
ok with that set up the gas company changes rates every month. However, we do not conduct out meter readings and rent billing on the first of every month. Ineed to find a way to use the pastbilling date to find out the remaining days in the month to use for the past gas rates. I also need to use this months billing date to find out how many days have elapsed in the current month.
If i could find out how to get the number of days in the specified month i could compare it to the bill date.
I'm pretty much trying to figure out how to use datetime or another function to show the total number of days in the given month. Thanks in advance

There are only 13 cases (February has 2 cases due to leap years), so just make lookup table.

Yeah, that would work, was just wondering if there was a built in way with datetime. Thanks for the reply. That was easy enough, i was thinking to hard... Thanks again
