Hi, I have 2 processes that communicate through a mailslot. The mailslot is created using CreateFile and data is being sent using WriteFile. The mailslot performs well for some time before it crashes. I notice that every WriteFile function returns Error 59 ("ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR")  .
I never send more that 1.4 kb of data and mailslot is created between 2 processes in the same computer (max data transfer is 64 kb). Any idea anyone  .... Any help is greatly appreciated....

I have created a button control that has an Enable property. I also have a MultiLine property. When the button's Enable property is set to false, the image (caption in this case) is embossed.
// Now draw the caption
if (NewState & ODS_DISABLED)
{
// BUG with multiline when the button is disabled
CPoint pt = CPoint(ClientRect.left, ClientRect.top);
CSize NewcsSize = pDC->GetTextExtent(NewCaption);
pDC->DrawState(pt, NewcsSize, NewCaption, DSS_DISABLED, TRUE, 0, (HBRUSH)NULL);
}
else
{
pDC->SetTextColor (GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT));
pDC->DrawText (NewCaption, &ClientRect, DT_WORDBREAK);
}
This works fine until I set the MultiLine property to true. The Caption is still embossed, but instead of breaking the word I get the '|' symbol where the wordbreak should be. Of course MultiLine works fine if the Enable property is set to true. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I am using DrawSate if the button is disabled and DrawText if it is enabled. Any suggestions would be great.

I have a dialog application which performs a registry backup. I need to perform the same functionality from the command line without showing the frontend.
I have looked into m_lpCmdLine function but I don't fully understand how to setup all of my commands.
I need to be able to consider the following: -
1)My program is called "Registry Backup"
2)Establish whether it needs to be imported or exported e.g. /Export or /Import
3) Then include the possibilty of entering a filename for Local_machine and/or current_user.
I have no idea how to do this. I know I have to do it in InitInstance() with the m_lpCmdLine function but I am now lost.
Thankyou in advance.

just use __argc and __argv. they behave exactly like the C argc and argv parameters.
run down argv and parse the command line parameters yourself. or, use one of the many command line parsing classes around: here's one

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
if ( (argc > 1) && ((*argv[1] == '-') || (*argv[1] == '/')) )
{
if ( _stricmp( "export", argv[1]+1 ) == 0 )
{
CmdExport();
}
else if ( _stricmp( "import", argv[1]+1 ) == 0 )
{
CmdImport();
}
exit(0);
}
}
Cheers!!!!

You have to ignore my ignorance but I am reasonably inexperienced in this particular area.
I am working in a Dialog application in the InitInstance function therefore the old style isn't as appropriate how can it be modified. I understand that __argc and _targc are appropriate in this case. Is this true and how does it alter from what you have already posted.
Thanks for your help

this isn't specific to dialog apps (works fine in doc/view, too):
BOOL CThumb7App::InitInstance()
{
...
if (__argc > 1)
{
firstParam = __argv[1];
}
else
{
firstParam="";
}
...
}

I think I am slowly getting it.
I have the following options of:
Program is called "Registry Backup.exe"
Export or Import (/Export or /Import)
Local Machine file or Current User file ( LM: or CU: )
Then the path to which it will be exported or imported (arg1)
So I could have a command line of:
Registry Backup.exe /Export LM: "C:\Sofware\Registry.dat"
The path would have to be inclosed in speech marks, correct?
How would your example be modfied in such a scenerio?

any parameter with spaces in it must be in quotes, otherwise, the shell will break it into multiple parameters. i'm not sure what happens if your application name contains spaces.
assuming the command line you gave, this is the contents of __argv:
__argv[0] = application name
__argv[1] = "/Export"
__argv[2] = "LM:"
__argv[3] = "C:\..."
so, grab __argv[1], test it for "/Export" or "/Import" and proceed accordingly.

I am attempting to write a C library of routines for my DVD player. (It talks over a serial port.) I want the library as portable as possible, so I'm attempting to do it in C. I know it'd be alot easier for me to do it with classes, but as far as I'm concerened, C++ is out of the question.
I can successfully compile the header below with it's .c file. The problem comes when other C++ modules (I'm trying to use the C library in an MFC app) #include the header. The compiler chokes on the first paranthesis inside the struct definition. I'm thinking it's something having to do with switching into C++ mode.
The whole reason why I'm doing this is because I don't want the user to have to mess with a buffer. All they need to provide are callbacks for Open, Close, Read, and Write (reguarldess if they are using J.P. Naughter's serial wrappers, raw win32 api, or Unix file i/o) of the serial port library and users can do something simple like: DVDPlayer.Execute(PLAY); and not have to worry themselves with formatting, writing and returning the response to me for parsing. This way, it can all be handled internally. And in C.
[ccode]
#pragma once
int DVF07Error(struct DVF07*);
void DVF07StoreTOC(struct DVF07*, struct toc_type*);
void DVF07StoreTrack(struct DVF07*, struct toc_type*, int);
void DVF07TraceTOC(struct toc_type*);
int DVF07Format(struct DVF07*, int, int);
int DVF07Execute(struct DVF07*, int, int);
int DVF07ReturnedInt(struct DVF07*);
int DVF07SizeofBuf(struct DVF07*);
typedef struct DVF07{
/* in c++ files, when this is #included, the ( of int (*Error is */
/* where the compiler chokes, but it compiles fine when */
/* the .c file #includes it */
int (*Error)(struct DFV07 *this);

I see one potential problem with that line: "this" is a C++ keyword. Could that be the problem? What happens if you comment that line?

I don't think so. I've compiled code before using 'this' in C. I think it only is a problem when __cplusplus is defined. And in this case, it is not -
I hope

Anyone know how I can find what the path to the "My Documents" directory is please?

Use the SHGetSpecialFolderLocation function with the CSIDL_PERSONAL option.

hi!!!
can you help me???I've a matter with my MFC because when I press a button "New",which is already in a MFC,it doesn't get on...Debugger of Visual C++ send me to the line:
"ASSERT(::GetWindowLong(hWnd Ctrl,GWL_STYLE & WS_STYLE));"
and it stop to a line of my programm which is:
if(mListX.FindString(0,lNewExplosif->NameX()) EQ LB_ERR))
Do you know what does it mean????

I am going through some code, and I noticed the following:
{snip}
double x[SIZE];
//x[] is filled
foo(x-1);
//where foo takes double data[] as argument
{snip}
What exactly is being passed here? What does subtracting an integer from an array do?
Thanks,
Ryan

When u reduce n from an array address (here x), the address will reduce to x - (n * sizeof(the type of x))
In this case u r reducing 1 from the double array address x. So, the new address will be educed by 8 bytes, since size of double is 8 bytes.
Go through the below given sample.
void foo(double* x)
{
printf("%f", *x);
}
void main()
{
double x[] = {1,2,3};
foo(x+1);
}
See the output to convince urself.

The value x is treated as a pointer to the start of the array so it is pointer arithmetic that is being used. The code is passing a pointer to one element before the start of array x, i.e. x[-1].
I would guess that one of the algorithms in the function expects the data to be in x[1..N]. This often occurs when the algorithm was originally developed for a different language (e.g. Fortran program where lower bounds are usually 1), rather than C or C++ where the lower bound is zero.
So they may be offsetting the array to use the original algorithm.
void foo(double y[SIZE])
{
// y[1] is now equivalent to x[0]
}

VC++ doesn't bother if it is an address pointing to start of an array or not. It knows that x is a pointer to double and size off double is 8 bytes. So, if u increment or decrement the pointer, the address will be recuced as multiple of 8 (for double).
But there is a chance of exception in the case of x[-1], since the location x-1 is not reserved for x and that location may not be free.

In the OnInitialUpdate() function of your application's View, write the following code
GetParentFrame()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
For example, if the view class is CMyView, then do as follows.
void CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CScrollView::OnInitialUpdate();
GetParentFrame()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
}
Happy coding...
