server.cpp - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

Did you mean that it's not possible to declare the class in a h file and the implementation in a cpp file?
I have the same trouble as I convert my list which use void* to use template. But I don't move the code from cpp to h and when I link the library, it's ok. But when I link the application , I get link error.

Does it exist another way to move the implementation from cpp to h for solving this kind of problem?

When you use your template class in more than one source file you should put the class declaration and the function definition in the same header file. Most template libraries like STL, ATL, WTL ship without cpp files.

Hello

I am currently working on a SERVER which could send/receive string using Win32 Socket.... Could someone please send me a simple example?
I am a real beginner using Win32...

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

take a look at jon sagara's triple-post below. rcopy.cpp and server.cpp should get you started. He's written them for unix but the basic principles are essentially the same

Hi guys,

I'm in a bit of a bind (haha, I made a funny). I'm writing a small file copying application for a class. We're trying to emulate the datalink layer on Unix by implementing a stop-and-wait protocol using UDP datagrams.

I have two separate programs:
rcopy is the client. It requests a file from the server. If the file does not exist, rcopy exits gracefully.

server is the server (naturally). It accepts requests from clients who want to copy a file. If the file does not exist on the server, then the server sends a flag back to rcopy basically saying "File does not exist."

I can get the datagrams to work one way: I can get the file name from the command line in rcopy and successfully send that to server. server can then attempt to open the file, and based on the outcome, can prepare a flag to send back to rcopy.

*** Here's the problem ***
When I call recvfrom(...) on the server to get the file name from rcopy, the sockaddr_in parameter is not getting sent. Therefore, I can't send the file ACK back to rcopy, and rcopy blocks indefinitely. Eek! | :eek:

Anyhow, I have been trying to get this for *several* hours now, and I'm no further along than when I started. I hope one of you networking gurus will be able to help me out here.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Note - I will post my code below because I'm not sure of the max size of these messages.

Thanks again,

Jon Sagara

I figured out the problem. From the recvfrom() man page:

ssize_t recvfrom(int s, void *buf, size_t len, int flags, struct sockaddr *from, socklent_t *fromlen);<br />

"... fromlen is a value-result parameter, initialized to the size of the buffer associated with from, and modified on return to indicate the actual size of the address stored there."

Before I called recvfrom(), I wasn't initializing a variable with the size of (struct sockaddr_in).

Like you said in the next thread up, the concepts are largely the same. I was stuck on the same lamo bug for a few hours and I was getting desperate, so I thought I'd give it a go here in the CP forums. Seems like every time I post a question here, I end up answering it myself 20 minutes later. Maybe I should post first and think later. Smile | :)

Hi, I have a question that may be very very easy for most of you. Please don't laugh, I'm embarassed not able to find it after spending quite a bit of time on it.

How can I call up a dialog box that browses for a directory? I know CFileDialog can browse for a file, but I do not need the file. I just want the directory.

Thank you very much for your help. Blush | :O

Use SHFileOperation(). There are wrapper classes here on CP to help you get started if you need it.

How to refresh CommandUI of menu and toolsbar at once?

Problem:
Code working for a long time under WinME/2000/98 does not work under WinXP. Little function to pop up a dialog box and allow the user to pick a folder (or file) which is returned as a CString. I get back the wrong value if user creates new folder or types non-existing folder into box.

What I'm looking for:
Function to pop up dialog and get back existing or new folder as specified by user.

Symptoms:
Works just as I would expect it to under Win98/ME/2000.

Under WinXP if the user creates a folder, or types a new folder into the edit box I get back a reference to their user directory. (Please excuse a bit of 'debugging mess' I'm still trying to figure out what is going on).

Also, there are some header files that I don't have the latest versions of, being limited to VC6 with all patches (so you can ignore my comments about BIF_USENEWUI - which is documented but appears at some later point I think).

I didn't see any KB articles related to WinXP for either of my two functions-in-question.
Any help would be appreciated!

hi :

does any body knows about how to access external hardware through vc++ like what type of programmig should i do menas how to access the external hardware . like if i want to handle external sensors then wht should i do if any one wanna more detail on it then he can ask me at email
bilal_bilu82@hotmail.com Frown | :(

Maybe you can just post some more details about the kind of hardware you are going to interface to and the communication to it. Different ways to talk over the Com port, USB, Keyboard, etc. If your question is a general one about how to interface with some sensors - look at companies like Home Automation Labs and X-10 - who have some inexpensive up to professional sensors that are designed to be connected to PCs.

There are lab automation application applications of all kinds that are designed to do real-time processing of sensor data and feed other applications clean data, do logs, etc - and you can pick one to interface to an API with C++, VB or your langage of choice.

Good luck - post details if you need additional help.

I'm hoping to use the registry as a sort of associative container, where I can set a key, then iterate through the items stored there AND their values. Is there a way to discover the names of items stored in the registry under a specific subkey ? For example, I have HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Graus/MovieDatabase/Files, and I want to know the name as well as the value of every item stored there.

Thanks.

Hi all, I have a strange (but probably simple) question on DIB's and DDB's. I have a HANDLE (essentially a HBITMAP), and from this I want to create a DIB so that I may access "the bits" etc. Now at the moment, I have the following code, which manages to create a valid HBITMAP (and later on Blits it to the screen - no problem). However, i have had terrible trouble getting access to "the bits" later on in my program, and I think its something to do with the GetDIBitmap function (MSDN says it returns a DDB FROM A DIB). I cannot seem to use the GetObject function either to get a DIBSECTION or BITMAP structure which my program relies on (that is essentially what I need from this, plus the HBITMAP of course). Any help on this would be hugely appreciated (including any better ways of going about converting the HANDLE to a HBITMAP), I have been working on this for days, thats why I haven`t been seen for a while!

void CMainFrame::GetImage(HANDLE handle)
{
CBitmapDoc* pBitmapDoc = NewDocument();   //new doc.
CBitmapFrame* pBitmapWnd = (CBitmapFrame*)NewWindow(pBitmapDoc);
 
BYTE* lpVoid, *pBits;
LPBITMAPINFO pHead;
lpVoid = (BYTE*)GlobalLock(handle);
pHead = (LPBITMAPINFO)lpVoid;
GlobalUnlock(lpVoid);
 
pBits = (BYTE*)lpVoid + sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
 
HBITMAP newbitmap = CreateDIBitmap(pBitmapWnd->GetDC()->m_hDC, &pHead->bmiHeader, CBM_INIT, pBits, pHead, DIB_RGBCOLORS);
}

Thanks anyway for looking at my problem,
Alan. Confused | :confused:
