I need to write a utility that integrates into the shell with right click support that will perform some of the tasks that are done with the IIS website administrator tool.
Which version of VC++ supports this?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
TIA

(Strictly not a Visual C++ question, but I hope I won't be flayed alive since it's at least a programming question!)
10 points to the first person who can tell me how to extract a token (delimited by ".") from an argument (always of the form "a.b.c.d", where a, b, c, and d are strings of varying length) passed to a .CMD file. My guess is you'll want to use the FOR command to loop thru the string. I've going nuts trying to get this to work!

maybe I am totally missing the point, but can you not write a simple DOS filter in C or assembler that would take your input string and output the tokens? Examples of filters are DOS commands like SORT, FIND, or MORE. You would of course need a compiler that creates DOS files (As opposed to console programs). I am sure it could be done using pipes and maybe IO redirection.

Yes, I've already written a tiny console exe that does what I want (which is really to create a .h file that's #included by my .rc). But I'd like to reduce our build's dependency on an externally built module (which can get out of synch). Hence the desire to do it all at the DOS (actually CMD) level.

use strtok() or write you own simple extractor.

I have read your reply and do not understand the problem.
The header files string.h and stdio.h are ansi c, they are stable and should not get you out of sync; unless I am missing something.
The example I just look up under strtok will do the job with only minor changes: (1) change main(int agc,char *argv[]), (2) use arc[1] insted of the global string variable and change the printf output in any way you want.
That is DOS programming; and if you compiled it under UNIX or almost any other operating system, it would still work.

Hi John,
Introducing another dependency (the tokenizer app) in the build process introduces another point of failure in the build script. It's not hard to write the app that produces what I want (I've already done that to verify that the process works), but I'd prefer to do it in a DOS/CMD script (i.e. bare metal) that's part of the existing build script.
Just downed several cups of coffee in quick succession... I think I've got it to work!  Will post a (hopefully positive) reply soon!

So why are you asking here? Try some DOS shell conferences

I have a problem with mapping keys to buttons on the dialog.
I tried by catching WM_CHAR message like this
void CDialogbasedDlg::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
switch(nChar)
{
case '1': //do sth
break;
//...
}
CDialog::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}
but it didn't work. The application just beeps when I press '1'.
|
|
|
|
|
Does the dialog have keyboard focus ? Did you set a breakpoint ? Your code WILL do nothing when a '1' is pressed.

I put SetFocus() in OnInitDialog(), but I don't know anything about setting a breakpoint. Could you please, just in a few steps, explain me what I need to do?
|

You shouldn't have to call SetFocus, try removing it. A breakpoint is set with F9 ( from memory ), it's a little black circle on the left of your code. Then if you're in debug mode, when you run your program and it gets to the point where the circle is, it will stop and you can examine the state of memory/variables/etc. and step through code. The point here would just be to see if the code is being reached.

Ok I see what you mean. I know what debugging breakpoint is. I thought you ment it was some kind of a function or something similar. It doesn't work though. The code doesn't get executed.
I did manage, however, to trap keysrokes with PreTranslateMessage() like this
<br />
BOOL CDialogbasedDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) <br />
{<br />
if(pMsg->message==WM_CHAR)<br />
{<br />
switch(pMsg->wParam)<br />
{<br />
case '1':
break;<br />
case '2':
break;<br />
}<br />
return TRUE;<br />
} <br />
else<br />
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);<br />
}<br />
and it works. But I guess this is not how it should be done. Is there a better way of trapping keystrokes in dialog?
|

|

This plainly means that the message is not getting through to your onChar handler. The question is, why ? Did you remove the SetFocus call ?

Yes, i did. But how can I set focus to dialog so it can receive WM_CHAR?
I put TRACE macro in OnChar, but I dont get any results in the debug screen.

hi everybody,
i've got a strange error while trying to use va_start() macro.
i wrote the following :
va_list ap;
<font style="color:green;">
va_start(ap, 0); <font style="color:green;"></font> and the compiler gave me an error C2101: '&' on constant
when i looked at the MSDN, the example is that one :
int average( int first, ... )
{
va_list marker;
va_start( marker, first ); <font style="color:green;"></font>
<font style="color:green;">
}
it seems to be similar with my code, so i don't understand where i fail...
can anyone help please ?

The second argument must be the name of an argument in your function.
Tim Smith
I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
|
|
|
|
|
but where is the difference ???
if the argument is an integer, its value will be passed... no ?
va_start() need a reference ?
does it need a reference to the first argument of the list ?
TOXCCT >>> GEII power

The difference is the fact that va_start() is a *macro*. The word "first" is literally passed to it, and it is then used.
va_start() uses it's second argument by doing &MySecondArg, this is why you get the "& on constant" error (0 in your case).
This is because va_start() needs to know where from the stack to read next. Since the second argument you pass to it is one of your function's arguments, taking it's address returns a place on the stack. From there, va_arg() keeps moving.
The va_list is simply a pointer to the next place, and this is what gets updated every time you use va_arg().
