Hi.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic and Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite.
Ok.
Now I have started a new MFC project, as usually, where I will connect to a SQL Server database, running in the same PC.
As always I did, I use ADO in the following way:
#import "c:\Program Files\Common\system\ado\msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF","adoEOF")
The problem is that file is not longer exist in Vista and I read that Windows DAC replace the MSADO libraries (the last one I know is 2.8).
But where is that Windows DAC?? (where I could download it??)
How could I use ADO in my native MFC application here in the fucXXXX Vista??? 
I'm lost.
Thank you.
Demian.

Hi there,
I am trying to open a second form that I created in my main form (add new item...) Now I have a button on my main form that is supposed to launch that form.
I have included it with: include "settings.h"
But I don't really know what code I need on the button to open the form when the button is clicked.
Then I've made a custom shape form that I need to be able to drag around the screen, I would really appreciate it if you could help me with some solution for that too. Thank you.
Please help me!

Do you want to open a form of other form?

I am trying to use ReadFile to read comma delimited text from a file, I am placing the data into a struct using the following code:
ReadFile(hDiskFile, tcInputData, 1, &dwBytesRead, NULL);<br />
if(dwBytesRead == 0)<br />
break;<br />
k = strcmp(tcInputData, ",");<br />
if(k == 1)<br />
strcat(tcCode, tcInputData);<br />
}while(k != 0);<br />
strcat(tcCode, "\0");<br />
DTCodes[i].Code = tcCode;<br />
As you can see the code looks for the comma then copies the data into the struct. I am looking for a cleaner way to read a line of variable length from a file. This method gives me an Unknown Code Exception, my compiler is Lcc-Win32.
As always this newbie is greatful for any help received.

How are you declared the variables?
Where does it start the do loop? (i.e. post the previous code)
BTW: Since you're reading a character at time, probably using strcmp is a mistake.

The array declaration is:
struct DTC{<br />
char *Code;<br />
char *Description;<br />
char *Defined;<br />
}DTCodes[0x100];<br />
<br />
The code is:
for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)<br />
{<br />
k = 0;<br />
do{<br />
ReadFile(hDiskFile, tcInputData, 1, &dwBytesRead, NULL);<br />
if(dwBytesRead == 0)<br />
break;<br />
k = strcmp(tcInputData, ",");<br />
if(k == 1)<br />
strcat(tcCode, tcInputData);<br />
}while(k != 0);<br />
strcat(tcCode, "\0");<br />
DTCodes[i].Code = tcCode;<br />
ZeroMemory(tcCode, 0x06);<br />
do{<br />
ReadFile(hDiskFile, tcInputData, 1, &dwBytesRead, NULL);<br />
if(dwBytesRead == 0)<br />
break;<br />
k = strcmp(tcInputData, ",");<br />
if(k == 1);<br />
strcat(tcDescription, tcInputData);<br />
}while(k != 0);<br />
strcat(tcDescription, "\0");<br />
DTCodes[i].Description = tcDescription;<br />
ZeroMemory(tcDescription, 0xff);<br />
tcDescription = "";<br />
do{<br />
ReadFile(hDiskFile, tcInputData, 1, &dwBytesRead, NULL);<br />
if(dwBytesRead == 0)<br />
break;<br />
k = strcmp(tcInputData, "\n");<br />
if(k == 1)<br />
strcat(tcDefined, tcInputData);<br />
}while(k != 0);<br />
strcat(tcDefined, "\0");<br />
DTCodes[i].Defined = tcDefined;<br />
ZeroMemory(tcDefined, 0xff);<br />
tcDefined = "";<br />
}<br />
What would you recommend instead of strcmp?

I can't see, in the above code, for instance, the declaration of tcInputData.
jonsey29847 wrote: What would you recommend instead of strcmp?
the direct character comparison, for instance (if tcInputData is declared as character array or character pointer):
...
if (tcInputData[0] == ',')
...

Duh? I should have thought a little more, eh?
I can see the data in tcInputData, and I can see data in DTCodes[i].Code etc, when I try to read the data in another function, I get zilch. I seem to have trouble with scoping sometimes, but the struct is declared in the same include file the functions are defined in. The variable declarations are:
TCHAR *tcFileName;<br />
TCHAR *tcCode;<br />
TCHAR *tcDescription;<br />
TCHAR *tcDefined;<br />
TCHAR *tcInputData;<br />
tcFileName = LocalAlloc(LPTR, 0x100);<br />
tcCode = LocalAlloc(LPTR, 0x06);<br />
tcDescription = LocalAlloc(LPTR, 0xff);<br />
tcDefined = LocalAlloc(LPTR, 0xff);<br />
tcInputData = LocalAlloc(LPTR, 0x10);<br />
The struct is declared as follows:
struct DTC{<br />
char *Code;<br />
char *Description;<br />
char *Defined;<br />
}DTCodes[0x10];<br />

I think you have to be more careful on memory handling, for instance in the following lines
jonsey29847 wrote: DTCodes[i].Description = tcDescription;
ZeroMemory(tcDescription, 0xff);
you first assign tcDescription to DTCodes[i].Description and then erase the content of the memory pointed by both tcDescription and DTCodes[i].Description thus loosing the information.
BTW struct has to be declared in the header file, but is better to define DTCodes[0x10]; in one source file (you can use extern struct DTC DTCodes[0x10]; in the header file to make it visible by all of the source files).

Thank you very much, can you explain how DTCodes[i].Description gets cleared after the assignment is made? I thought that I once the assignment was made I no longer needed tcDescription.
I also really appreciate the header file clarification, I have much work to do to straighten my code out.

Description is a char pointer by definition
struct DTC{
char *Code;
char *Description;
char *Defined;
}DTCodes[0x100];
The following line
DTCodes[i].Description = tcDescription;
Makes DTCodes[i].Description pointing to memory area 'owned' by tcDescription. When you clear that memory area with the line
ZeroMemory(tcDescription, 0xff);
DTCodes[i].Description happens to point to the zeroed memory.
You have to copy the memory area content if you to use it as temporary storage.

DTCodes[i].Code = tcCode; -> for every i assigning same global pointer tcCode.
ZeroMemory(tcCode, 0x06); -> effectively no data is stored in DTCodes[i].Code.
similarly,
DTCodes[i].Description = tcDescription;
ZeroMemory(tcDescription, 0xff);
DTCodes[i].Defined = tcDefined;
ZeroMemory(tcDefined, 0xff);
And exception can occur on buffer overrun,
strcat(tcCode, tcInputData); // what happens if tcCode string length > 0x06}
while(k != 0);
strcat(tcCode, "\0");
And why need strmp,strcat for single char operation, simple array manipulation is enough isn't it
k = strcmp(tcInputData, ","); -> if (tcInputData[0] != ',')
if(k == 1)
strcat(tcCode, tcInputData); -> tcCode[len++] = tcInputData[0];

Thank for your reply, my thinking was that once assignment was made I no longer needed tcCode etc, see previous reply. The exception was being thrown in the debug environment because I fat fingered a handle later in the code. tcCode will always be 4 bytes in length, its coming from the ODBII ECU in an automobile, thus I could be conservative with its length.
I will change my code for the single char comparison, you example is much cleaner.
Thanks

u no longer needed tcCode, but i think u need DTCodes[i].Code, since both points to same address clearing tcCode, clears DTCodes[i].Code.
and also ur allocating tcCode once outside the for loop, hence for all i, DTCodes[i].Code points to same tcCode.
assigning doesnot copies a C-Style string.
the following change may be useful,
struct DTC{
char Code[0x06];
...
}DTCodes[0x10];
and copy the string to DTCodes[i].Code[len++] = tcInputData[0];

Thanks very much, I have changed my code and it work very nicely.

Thanks, I made the change and it works very well!

I have a CDialogBar which uses a dialog resource, and the resource has some push buttons and a list box. I recently decided that I wanted the dialog bar to also have a tool bar at the top of its window. I've tried adding a CToolBar object, as well as tried adding a CToolBarCtrl, but I'm not able to get the tool bar to display.
I tried the same technique with adding a CToolBar object to a CDialog, and that worked fine (as did CToolBarCtrl), but when I try the same code within a CDialogBar, nothing appears.
Any suggestions? I've searched but I haven't found anything on the subject. I've found tips on how to add a CToolBar to a CDialog, but not how to add a CToolBar (or a CToolBarCtrl) to a CDialogBar.
Thanks,
Jeff

i am new on c++
i need to create a function with 2d array argument.
i mean i can use the integer numbers in a 2d array in my function.
And i also need to know how i can copy the information from the textboxes to a 2d array in vc++.
i hope you will help me.
thanks

i have an array like x[5][5]
and i need to use it as an argument in my function i know how i use 1d array. i can it by using pointers.
void display (int *p, int size)<br />
{<br />
int i;<br />
<br />
for (i = 0; i < size; ++i)<br />
printf("%-5d%-5d \n", p[i],&p[i]);<br />
}<br />
<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
int a[5] = {3, 8, 7, 6, 10};<br />
<br />
display(a, 5);<br />
return 0;<br />
}
but i dont know how ican use 2d arrays

For instance:
void display (int *p, int size0, int size1)
{

for (i = 0; i < size0; i++)

printf("%-5d \n", *p );
}
int main()
{
int a[2][5] = {{3, 8, 7, 6, 10}, {6, 16, 14, 12, 20}};
display((int *)a, 2, 5);
}

Hi all
i want to simulate the ctrl + alt + delete keys
I am facing problem with this code. I able to get the reference of the "winlogon" desktop but am unable to simulate the ctrl + alt + delete keys.
can any one help please.
HDESK desktop;
ofstream myfile;
HDESK old_desktop = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId());
myfile.open ("c:\\desktop.txt");
// Attempt to open the named desktop
esktop = OpenDesktop("Winlogon", 0, FALSE,
DESKTOP_CREATEMENU | DESKTOP_CREATEWINDOW |
DESKTOP_ENUMERATE | DESKTOP_HOOKCONTROL |
DESKTOP_WRITEOBJECTS | DESKTOP_READOBJECTS |
DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP | GENERIC_WRITE);
if(desktop!=NULL){
myfile << "desktop found.\n";
}else{
myfile << "desktop not found.\n";
}
HWND hwndCtrlAltDel = FindWindow("SAS window class", "SAS window");
if (hwndCtrlAltDel == NULL) {
myfile << "SAS window not found.\n";
hwndCtrlAltDel = HWND_BROADCAST;
}
PostMessage(hwndCtrlAltDel, WM_HOTKEY, 0, MAKELONG(MOD_ALT | MOD_CONTROL, VK_DELETE));
HWND logonwindow = FindWindow("", "Log On to Windows");
if (logonwindow == NULL) {
