The RegCreateKeyEx creates or opens a key

redeemer13-May-02 9:25

13-May-02 9:25

The RegCreateKeyEx function will, if the registry key already exist, open the existing key and return it in the 8th parameter:

LONG RegCreateKeyEx(
  HKEY hKey,                                  // handle to open key
  LPCTSTR lpSubKey,                           // subkey name
  DWORD Reserved,                             // reserved
  LPTSTR lpClass,                             // class string
  DWORD dwOptions,                            // special options
  REGSAM samDesired,                          // desired security access
  LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes, // inheritance
  PHKEY phkResult,                            // key handle 
  LPDWORD lpdwDisposition                     // disposition value buffer
);

And i also tried it before where it worked, i don't know why it doesen't work now...

Try checing the error codes on all the calls. Make sure they are returning 0s.

Good Luck,

Check if RegCreateKeyEx returns ERROR_SUCCESS and close the key only if it is successful.

if (RegCreateKeyEx(...) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
// your code here
RegCloseKey(...);
}

Like it or not, I'm right.

simple MFC Q- about inheritance

spoongirl13-May-02 8:26

13-May-02 8:26

is there some mysterious unwritten law against inheriting INDIRECTLY from MFC classes?

i'm having all sorts of trouble trying to do something very simple. here is an example of my woe:

I'd like to create my own Wizard property sheet class, derived from CPropertySheet. ok, well- that's all fine and good, as long as I use the class that inherits directly from CPropertySheet. but try to add another layer, and forget it. will NOT compile.

same thing now happening with CPropertyPage. I'm trying to make a bunch of pages for my wizard, and they share common characteristics. seems like the textbook case of where to use a base class. I'd like to make my base class, WizardPage (or whatever) inherit from CPropertyPage. then all of my actual pages inherit from WizardPage.

no matter what i try, this will not compile. if i try to use one of the child classes, it says "base class undefined" or something. trust me, i included the right headers. Wink | ;)

i would be forever grateful to anyone who can explain why this is happening.

There is nothing wrong with what you are trying to do. There is no limitation of inheritance from MFC classes or CPropertySheet.

Sorry, but the problem is in your code.

here is a sample:

[ccode]
// Derived.cpp: implementation of the CDerived class.
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "RegHelper.h"
#include "Derived.h"
#include "MyPropSheet.h"
#ifdef _DEBUG
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[]=__FILE__;
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Construction/Destruction
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

CDerived::~CDerived()
{

}
CDerived::CDerived(UINT nIDCaption, CWnd* pParentWnd, UINT iSelectPage)
:CMyPropSheet(nIDCaption, pParentWnd, iSelectPage)
{
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CMyPropSheet

class CMyPropSheet : public CPropertySheet
{
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CMyPropSheet)

// Construction
public:
CMyPropSheet(UINT nIDCaption, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL, UINT iSelectPage = 0);
CMyPropSheet(LPCTSTR pszCaption, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL, UINT iSelectPage = 0);

// Attributes
public:

// Operations
public:

// Overrides
// ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides
//{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CMyPropSheet)
//}}AFX_VIRTUAL

// Implementation
public:
virtual ~CMyPropSheet();

// Generated message map functions
protected:
//{{AFX_MSG(CMyPropSheet)
// NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove member functions here.
//}}AFX_MSG
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

[/ccode]

Hope this helps,
Bill

thanx for the response. i did in fact find the problem not too long after i posted the question.

the main thing i've found is that you have to be really careful about the Class Wizard. it's helpful, but only up to a point. (like, up to the point where you add another level of inheritance to your class heirarchy- eg, if i were to make a class inherit from your CMyPropSheet)

anywyas, thanx again for taking hte time to help out.

Check out:

UINT uCheck // check state
);

or

void CWnd::CheckDlgButton( int nIDButton, UINT nCheck );

--------
CheckDlgButton(IDC_MY_RADIO_BTN, BST_CHECKED);

If you are using a CButton, use SetCheck(1) to check or SetCheck(0) to uncheck.

Like it or not, I'm right.

You can use the BM_SETCHECK message:

SendMessage( 
  (HWND) hWnd,              // handle to destination window 
  BM_SETCHECK,              // message to send
  (WPARAM) wParam;          // check state
  (LPARAM) lParam;          // not used; must be zero
);

CheckRadioButton() is the best way - it checks one button and unchecks all others in the group.

class fstream and dll

Dan Verret13-May-02 8:05

Dan Verret

13-May-02 8:05

I have created a dll in which I use the following linkage interface:

#ifdef CONSOLEDLL_EXPORTS
#define CONSOLEDLL_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define CONSOLEDLL_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

every classes have been declared like this:

class CONSOLEDLL_API CCenteredStepEdger : public CStepObject{
friend CONSOLEDLL_API ostream& operator <<( ... );
friend CONSOLEDLL_API istream& operator >>( ... );
...

and some of the classes use fstream type variables:

fstream m_File;

when I compile the project, I have the following warning:

class 'fstream' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'CCenteredStepEdger '

How should I specify the dll-interface for the fstream variables???

Thanks

Detecting multiple partitions on the same hard drive

Wes Jones13-May-02 7:19

Wes Jones

13-May-02 7:19

I'd like to know how I can find out if two drive letters refer to partitions on the same hard drive.

I'm working on a database backup utility, & I want to discourage users from selecting the same physical hard drive for their backups as the hard drive where their 'live database' is running.

ie: If "C:\LiveDatabases" and "D:\My Backups" are actually located on the same physical harddrive(on different partitions), I'd like to know how to determine this info.

Thanks!

Not sure if this will give you the right info, but check out the GetVolumeInformation function on MSDN and the lpVolumeSerialNumber parameter.

How can I get IP address of any computers that connect to my computer through a CSocket variable ?

Ex: My computer run a program as a server, using a CSocket variable, listen to connection.
Client run a program connect to server at port 0 by a CSocket variable.
I want to get IP address of the client !
How to ?

CAsyncSocket / CSocket In a Different Thread

alpha+13-May-02 5:56

alpha+

13-May-02 5:56

I want my app to open a TCP communication thread to work with a certain device, which is not "dumb" in a way it can receive commands and even transmit some data back to my app in its own time. So I created a static thread function inside my control class for this reason only.

But, when I was trying to work with CSocket/CAsyncSocket *inside* the thread's context - MFC started to throw unhandeled execptions at me. so just to check things up - I moved the socket handling code into the main thread/process, and it worked fine there.

again - ALL the socket handling (including object declaration, creation, connect, ect) was done within the thread.

so what's the problem? anyone?

thanks for your help.

Are you using a worker thread created with AfxBeginThread and a AFX_THREADPROC? If so, I think you got to use your CSockets inside a CWinThread-derived object --use the second form of AfxBeginThread.

I suffered this problem a lot, and managed to sort it out.

My app has CSmtpListener in the main thread.

I created:- class CSmtpThread : public CWinThread
and gave it a member var of class CSmtpSocket : public CAsyncSocket

Then in CSmtpListener::OnAccept :-

void CSmtpListener::OnAccept(int nErrorCode) 
{
	// wait for the semaphore & decrement it
	WaitForSingleObject(m_hConnCountSemaphore, INFINITE);

	// accept the socket connection
	CAsyncSocket s;
	Accept(s);
		
	// create a new UI Thread, suspended
	CSmtpThread *p_SmtpThread = (CSmtpThread *)	
				AfxBeginThread(RUNTIME_CLASS(CSmtpThread),
				THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,
				0,
				CREATE_SUSPENDED,
				NULL);

	// setup the new thread
	p_SmtpThread->Setup( s.Detach(), m_hConnCountSemaphore);

	// resume the thread's execution
	p_SmtpThread->ResumeThread();
}

The CSmtpThread::Setup function stores my semaphore handle and socket handle. Then, The CSmtpThread::InitInstance() attaches the handle to the member socket.

I used semaphores to control the number of child threads: it works quite nicely becuase the listener will sit and wait until the number of children drops before accepting the connection.
