Using MSDEV6 I run a tool, redirecting the tools standard output to the MSDEV output pane. I find this output pane is limited in the number of lines (a few thousand, as it seems).

Does anyone know what the limit is, and more to the point does anyone know how to increase the number of lines the output pane can hold?

TIA

Passing a BSTR parameter into a COM method.

Hi,
I have to pass a BSTR string which is read from a xml file(using simple C-style fopen,fgetws methods) to a COM method. Within the COM method this BSTR string is to be passed further to a method that takes _bstr_t as a parameter. The problem arises when the BSTR string is to be passed further to the method contained within the COM method. The conversion from BSTR to _bstr_t converts only a portion of the string and not the complete string.
Since _bstr_t is just a wrapper over BSTR, it must take BSTR and form a object of _bstr_t,but the object is not showing the complete string passed to it. How do I solve this problem??

Thanks and Regards,
Abhishek.

Try using the BSTR in the _bstr_t's constructor, e.g. _bstr_t stuff(/*BSTR here*/);
This should solve your problem

In MFC, I want to pass an IP ADDRESS to the next dialog. But there are some problems. I am creating a variable (CString ipad) in CProjDoc then
DWORD m_ipsource;
CView* v;
CProj1Doc* pd=GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pd);
m_add.GetAddress(m_ipsource ) ;
pd->ipad=m_ipsource;
class2 c2;
CDialog::OnOK();
c2.DoModal();
Plz help me out or tell me a better way of doing so. Big Grin | :-D

Use a private member within your CProj1Doc class for your CString ipad variable, and implement a getter and setter method for it; then you can access the member within your class2 like this: m_newcstring = pd->Getipad();

Viewing .NET Build Log During Compile

Hi All,

First Off, I've been reading the articles here for a while, but have never ventured as far as making a post. So I should say thanx to all for some exceedingly good articles, they have helped me a lot.

Now the fawning is out of the way Smile | :)

.. My Question....

I'm building from the command line using .NET with a batch file.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" "d:\Dev\proj\proj.sln" /build "All Debug" /out "d:\Dev\proj\proj.txt"<br />
type "d:\Dev\proj\proj.txt"

Unfortunaly this does not allow me to see the log file being generated until the build is finished, even various tail utils fail to open the file (I'm assuming due to the file being held open by .NET).

I'm sure VC6 outputted to stdout, but .NET does not, any ideas how I could get to see an output in progress?

Thanx

DAve

The Discription you gave is very Abstract.Generally "0xC0000005: Access Violation." error arises due to many reasons..one of that is invalid memory access or looking into other process's memory with having sufficient privileges.Give some more details..

From the top of my head there are a couple of ways to do it:
- SQLDriverConnect() in the ODBC API
- CDatabase::Open() / OpenEx()
It is probably possible to get it from other database APIs as well...

Hope it helps!

HJo,

CDatabase::Open gives an option to OPEN .But it also gives an option to SELECT the DSN too .WHat i require is the dialog box which prompts the user to ADD,Remove ,COnfigure DSNs.

ANyway ,thanks a lot for the suggestion

Use EnumChildWindows() to enumerate through the child windows of the dialog. When you find the edit box, you can use SetWindowText() then to fill it with your string.
