Hi,
I've been developing an application in eMbedded Visual C++ to run on a Handheld PC, but someone has expressed a desire to use the application on a desktop PC. Is there any quick way of transferring the code for the application across to the desktop IDE (Visual Studio I presume)?
Thanks in advance.

You will have to recompile it for the desktop because the processors are not the same.

When you say recompile it for the desktop, I take it this means I will have to Copy and Paste my code into a different IDE (Visual Studio).
Thanks,
Graham

Yes. Just crate a new project with VC++6 (or whatever compiler you use) and copy the files into it. You may have to make some code changes if the program uses any WinCE-specific API calls. Also, you may also have to make some minor changes to string literals, depending on how you coded them for WinCE. For example, if you did this
[code]
CString something = L"Hello World";
[/code]
instead of this
[code]
CString something = _TEXT("Hello World");
[/code]

Hello...
Can anyone help me? I need to change my CFileDialog file type/filter on runtime in this dialog.
It will work like this: When i press a button it will change the actual type with another one and refresh the list, so it only appears the right kind of files...
I'm a newbie in this so a little of code will be helpfull.
Thanks in advance..

How do you move an object quickly and fluidly? For example a game character that needs to do a 20 pixels jump, does it ever move more than 1 pixel? But then you should use a high-resolution timer for quick ticks?

Don't move sprites per frame coz you'll get different motion on different CPUs. The game should implement a game timer which ticks @ 20HZ and update the character per game tick. Thus if the frame-rate moves around the character will still travel the same distance.
Hi-res timing is important. Use either QueryPerfomanceCounter() or use the Intel RDTSC assembly instruction. RDTSC is better as it has low overhead but there are some tips you should follow.

For maximum fluidity, you should synchronize with the vertical refresh rate, which isn't easy under Windows. If your target machine has DX7 or better, you may use IDirectDraw::WaitForVerticalBlank.
If you're not using DX, then ensure that you have backbuffering and keep some steady rate with QueryPerformanceCounter or timeBeginPeriod(1).

What is "scratch" and why can everything be made from it?

The general point to regard with animation is that you should give your sprite a velocity, measured in distance/time units, NOT distance/loop iteration.

How do I check if a file exists or not? I have tried the following:
<br />
CString f, msg;<br />
<br />
f = __argv[i];<br />
ifstream infile(f);<br />
<br />
if(!infile)<br />
{<br />
msg.Format("Could not open: %s",f);<br />
AfxMessageBox(msg);<br />
}<br />
<br />
else<br />
AfxMessageBox("file opened");
But if the file doesn't exist, it just makes one!!! Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Check the code below if you don't mind using Win32 API:
bool FileExists(LPCTSTR szFilename)
{
WIN32_FIND_DATA findFileData;
HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile(szFilename, &findFileData);
if (hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
return false;
}
VERIFY(FindClose(hFind));
return true;
}

I usually use next approach
bool is_file_exist(const char * szFilePath)<br />
{<br />
DWORD Code=::GetFileAttributes(szFilePath);<br />
return (long(Code)!=-1) && (!((FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) & Code));<br />
}

As you're using MFC, I use this:
CFileStatus status;
if( CFile::GetStatus( "test.dat", status ) )
{
// file exists
}

The problem is clear. Some solutions have already been mentioned but the easiest way to do it is
ifstream inFile("text.dat", ios::nocreate);The default value is ios::in
|
|
|
|
|
here's yet another way:
#include >io.h>
...
...
bool bFileExists = (_access(inFile, 0)==0);

Hi!
I have forum use bulentin board(ikonboard) that is ran on Linux, and use MySQL as a database server. The users are now accessing it via web-browser.
What i would like to do is to write and client application with .NET technology, to connect to the MySQL server via the Internet, and retrieve the data, then format it and output it to the user on local machine. However, i dont know how to go about doing this. Can anyone give me some hints??
Will i need to write my own server application that runs on the Linux server machine so my client can connect to or can my client can connect straight to the MySQL port ??
Thanks!!
Best regard

You client can connect directly to the MySQL port

I want to redirect mouse button click behavior.
When I click the right button in MS Word...etc, I don't want
the system to show a popup menu.
But when I click wheel button, I want it shows a popup menu like I click the right button.
I use Hook(in .dll file) to get the mouse message and then redirect it.
In some application, like Internet Explorer, NotePad...etc, the redirection works well. but in MS Word, Excel...etc, it shows nothing.
I think maybe it's a MDI question (or not).
Does someone could give me some suggestions to solve this bug.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I have an instance of word running with my application, and I have one ActiveX control inside that instance, .. the user can choose to remove the control... and well... what happens then:
--> all goes fine until the user closes the Ms Word window, then I get this message:
"The object invoked has disconnected from its client."
But all goes fine, does somebody knows something about this sh*tty thing ?, Thanks in advance

I am writing an app where I need to monitor each machine on the network (realtime). I need MAC address, IP address, Machine name and description. And instant information when a machine enters/leaves the network (including wireless connectivity attempts).
I have found some samples on the net which gives me an idea on how to approach the problem, but they are incomplete and look quite complex  . And there seem to be no realtime monitoring. Note that I do NOT have the possibility to install any software on any of the machines being monitored. One machine will run my app, and that's it.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Is there an easy way?
Thank you in advance.

er... read the WM_SIZE docs:-
CWnd::OnSize
afx_msg void OnSize( UINT nType, int cx, int cy );
Parameters
nType
Specifies the type of resizing requested. This parameter can be one of the following values:
SIZE_MAXIMIZED Window has been maximized.
SIZE_MINIMIZED Window has been minimized.
SIZE_RESTORED Window has been resized, but neither SIZE_MINIMIZED nor SIZE_MAXIMIZED applies.

Pretty simple - I use:
ShellExecute() to spawn another application. I use this function because it allows me to specify the directory for spawned application.
Now I need to wait for the application to terminate (In fact i would like to spawn it in synchronous mode because I just want to spawn it and wait for it's termination.
Is there any function that allows me to check if the application is still running using the HINSTANCE returned by ShellExecute?
Or perhaps there is another, easy way to spawn an application in synchronous mode, that does not need any loops checking application's state? (that will eliminate senseless processor usage).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
