Re: Multiple Displays problem- how to get the absolute coordinates

Does not work !!! If I have coordinates which lie out of the visible range of BOTH dipslays for example, the dialog will still be loaded outside my visible range.
One solution is I thougth to get all four Window Edges, left, right, top and bottom (no rectanlge because the displays could be arrangend as L-Form).

anyway, thank you very much for your response

Michael Dunn has probably given you the simplest, easiest solution!

If you choose to follow the harder solution, keep in mind that the monitors do no have to be arranged to form a rectangle. If you have 3 monitors, they could be arranged in an "L" configuration, so monitor 2 is above monitor 1 and monitor 3 is to the right of monitor 1.

To handle this, look at using enumDisplayMonitors() callback function to determine the coordinates of every monitor, etc.

Well, now you've just annoyed me!

How did you get that working so quickly? When I decided I needed to use enumDisplayMonitors(), I think it took me a couple of days to get anything working!

Hello.

I am working on a console C project under VS.net. I want to measure execution times between lines of code. I have looked over the documentation to try to set up "ENABLE PROFILING" on my project. I dont understand how to set it up. Can anyone help me out? Or point me to some examples where it is used.

Hi.........

I noticed that it remains extremely hard to plot by using VC++ 6 itself for readind data and plotting............

Moreover no such sources available, just hybrids!

If someone has one....... TIP TOP,

I have reread you post several times and I still do not know what the question actualy is!

It sounds like you are talking about a third person tool, or a tool you need to create. That if Visual C++ provided, would just be a bonus.

What exactly do you mean by plotting?

I do not know if I will understand your answer to that question, but somebody else might.

Program crashes

Hi! I have a problem calling a function defined in a dll, like this:

__declspec( dllexport ) __int8 __cdecl
  freadCharacter( istream &inputStream, char &destinationCharacter )
{
  inputStream >> resetiosflags( ios::skipws ) >> destinationCharacter;
  inputStream >> setiosflags( ios::skipws );
  if ( inputStream.bad( ) )
    return 0;

  return 1;
}

In the program that uses the dll, I call the function in this manner:

char c;
ifstream src( "input.dat" );
if ( !src )
{
  cerr << "Error opening file input.dat\n" << flush;
  exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

freadCharacter( src, c );

When I run the program, it crashes.
It crashes exactly when trying to execute this line:

inputStream >> resetiosflags( ios::skipws ) >> destinationCharacter;

Can anybody help me by telling what is wrong with my code?
Is it a real problem that I call a function defined in a dll which takes a reference to istream as a parameter? I'm asking this because if I define the function in my application, it works perfectly.

Thanks in advance!

I would have needed to run some tests, but it may have to do with the fact that the source contains more than one character. I would change the second parameter from a character type to a string type and see what happens.

I dought that will work, because it works in your application. That said, it is where I would start.

How badly does the program crash?
Can you give an error number?

It has been a while since I created a DLL, but I looked up the specs and did not see anything wrong.

I do not see a return type specified for "freadCharacter", but the compiler would scream if that was missing in the actual code.

I can think of no reason why that would cause a problem.

I run my program under Windows XP Professional. When it crashes, Windows doesn't show me any run-time error number. It just tells me something like this:

"Test.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience." It's the standard Windows message which appears at every program crash. I have tried even to change the second parameter of freadCharacter into an int. I get the same run-time error. I have tested in freadCharacter whether inputStream is open and it is. I thought that maybe that is my problem, but it's not.

Thanks!

I have no idea what the problem is, but I can give you the name of the best book I know of.

Programming Applicationtions for Microsoft Windows
By Jeffrey Richter.

I consider Jeffrey Richter a master Windows Guru, he has even taught people at Microsoft on the subject. I do not know if he has written anything directly related to C++ (where I think your problem may lay), but search for his name.

Sorry that I did not have time to investigate this furthur myself.

The sqlite function is defined as:

<br />
int sqlite3_open(<br />
  const char *filename,   /* Database filename (UTF-8) */<br />
  sqlite3 **ppDb          /* OUT: SQLite db handle */<br />
);<br />

Based on the error, it looks like you've defined the function pointer as:

<br />
typedef int (*LPFNMLTPLY)(int,int);<br />

when it should be

<br />
typedef int (*LPFNMLTPLY)(const char*, sqlite3**);<br />

dropped in my lap. I've been given 6 weeks to learn it, develop an app for
it and have it ready to ship. So, I need a crash course in MS CE programming.

Please help.

I thought LPCTSTR is for (Long Pointer To Constant String) which is same as const char *

because i use some function that returns const char* and then need to pass it to function which requires LPCTSTR.

can you help ?

you didn't answer to my question.

do you have unicode enabled in your project or not ?

see W2A() and A2W() macros for such conversion anyway...
