We understand it, but you don't understand, that the "high level" users (and I'm not including me, I'm just a bit more than a begginer), that most of times help answering the questions, are pissed off about ASAP, URGENT, and such expressions, the first message of all (Chris Maunders) is there for a very clear reason.

On the other hand, if someone reads your message and knows the answer you will have it. If not... you won't have it. Is pretty useless that you write ASAP, it depends on when your message is read, if the reader knows the answer, if your message don't annoy the reader avoiding the answer and many other factors.

And as you can see below... If you just need code or examples about something, Google can sometimes do miracles. Other question is if you don't understand something, then you will logically have to ask.

BTW and for your info... The most of the URGENT, VERY NEEDED, ASAP and so on, is from people that left the work for the last moment and, then, OOOOHHHH the world is ending, I don't know how to continue.

Just a few % of the urgent questions, are things not depending on the asker. It maybe is not right, that innocent people pays for the errors of the others...

but as you ask to be understood in your hurry, this is to make you understand the other side. And the reason for some comments.

Correct "Window Data Types"

hi all,

I have a struct define as follows, defines on the 32bit machine.

<br />
struct pac_cont <br />
{<br />
	unsigned int des_list;	<br />
	unsigned int mem_ID;	<br />
	unsigned char dm_con;	<br />
	unsigned char ser_ID;	<br />
	unsigned short act;	<br />
};<br />

This is one of very important part of my application, and I want to keep this structure as it is on any windows system without any issue. So I think it is better to use Windows Data Types. I defined it as follows.

<br />
struct pac_cont<br />
{<br />
	DWORD32 des_list;	<br />
	DWORD32 mem_ID;		<br />
	CHAR	dm_cont;		<br />
	CHAR	ser_ID;		<br />
	SHORT	act;		<br />
};<br />

Is it correct.

I appreciate your help all the time...

Surely this is going to depend on how your headers typedef them, specifically winnt.h and basetsd.h, and how your compiler interprets the inbuilt types? Once your code is compiled the windows system on which your code is used wont make any difference. Even if you change the structure as you propose and use it with a 32bit compiler and then later port your code to a 64 bit compiler, you will still have to check that the typedefs havent changed and that the inbuilt types are the same as before, also you will have to check that default structure packing hasnt changed.

Ohh and current headers "typedef short SHORT;" so your act member has changed type already.

you have already change the type of the datas using SHORT

You can, but you will already have a change of the typ. If you DO need a unsigned short... then you can not use SHORT. At least that is what I guess after reading Roger's answer

There is no such thing as Windows Data Types.

There are only the c++ data types (when working in c++ Poke tongue | ;-P

) which are
char, short, int, long, long long. All of them can be signed, unsigned or undefined (which means signed).
char = 1 byte ( 8 bit)
short = 2 byte (16 bit)
long = 4 byte (32 bit)
long long = 8 byte (64 bit)
int = natural size of adressing on 32 bit platforms this will be 4 byte. on other platforms this could be smaller or larger. Alsoo this size can change from compiler to compiler. Apperantly MS has defined that a int will always be 32 bit.

From basetsd.h

//
// The following types are guaranteed to be unsigned and 32 bits wide.
//

typedef unsigned int ULONG32, *PULONG32;
typedef unsigned int DWORD32, *PDWORD32;

When using struct especialy use known size type, which means never use int! That way this piece of code can work cross-platform, cross-compiler.

Yep, thats what I really want. I want to use this code on any Windows platform without any use, but the develop based on 32 bit system.

Say I have two variables,

<br />
int32 i = 10;<br />
<br />
DWORD32 j = 12;<br />

Can I use both i and j on Windows?
My answer is "yes"

Can I use both i and j on Linux?
My answer is "no". Because DWORD32 is a Windows Data Type

Is that correct.

BadKarma wrote:

DWORD32 is typedefed as an unsigned 32bit integer. This means one thing: the compiler treats the variables the same. You can simply make your own aliasses to known types, like this:

typedef unsigned long MYLONG;

DWORD32 is defined in basetds.h as

typedef unsigned int DWORD32;

this means you can either use:

struct A
{
  unsigned int data;
};

struct A
{
  DWORD32 data;
};

there will be no difference for the compiler.
This means that you should be able to use this struct also on a unix compiler. However MS has set the size of theire int to be fixed 4 bytes (IMHO a mistake). So this could break your cross-platform, cross-compiler compatibility. Use a long instead of an int. It is always better to use the full names of the datatypes then the Typedefed ones.

DWORD32 is a datatype typedefed (or preprocessor-defined) in Windows.
In linux, you may or may not have those types defined.
So, the best thing you could do is add a header to your code where you define the types you need for every platform you support.

You're still missing a pretty obvoious point.

int 32 = 10;
DWORD32 j = 32;

Look at the definition for DWORD32, and you'll end up with the keyword unsigned.

Try
int32 i = -10;
DWORD32 j = -32;

As for the structure sizes, BadKarma already told you the definition of them.

The only thing that hasn't been fully explained is packing sizes.

Compilers usually space out variables in a structure to make it easier to address them. So the individual variables of your structure may have the same size, but you'll have gaps in between them.

Do a search for
#pragma pack (push, 1)
and
#pragma pack (pop)

for more detail.

Iain.

Hi,

While opening one of the VC++ projects containing Microsoft chart control i am getting an error stating that i do not have a design time license for Activex. I have Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
Do we need a seperate license for using the Activex in VC++. Or do we have a patch for the same. How can i get the same?
