Screenshot The form keeps staying in the upper left corner and I cant add/modify any control :( Any help appreciated, Francesco.

Thanks for the trick :)

Ah, thanks :( is there no way to let class view to display them? Class interfaces are displayed, and I supply only .h files for them (implementation reside in .libs).

I have included an header in my project in which are listed some function headers... eg: [code]//////////////// // NGNBASIC.H // //////////////// #ifndef NGNBASIC_H #define NGNBASIC_H float ngn_sign(float f); float ngn_rad2deg(float radiant); float ngn_deg2rad(float degrees); #endif[/code] I espect that these function appear under the "globals" labed in Class View, but this doesn't happen... instead, in another workspace where I work to produce the lib owned by that header, they are listed. What am I doing wrong? :confused: Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks! There was an heaeder in "stdafx.h" that included an header that included an header tht included "resource.h" :)

The project I'm working on is quite big now, but I don't think it's messed up too much :) What's happen? Some weeks ago this situation started: everytime I add a CEdit or any other item to a CDialog based class, I have to "Rebuild All" the project because the compiler tells me that it can't find "IDC_XXX" identifier. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

I'm rewriting the functions using fstream, if you say fstream acts better, I trust you :) Thanks for the advice :)

Only because I'm in the abit of using them, so I can reuse some old code :) Do you suggest me using ifstream instead ?

It's C++, MFC app. By now I have solved with something like this:

while (fread(id,sizeof(char),32,f) != 0)
{
// almost same stuff here
}

But I thought that it had should exit if fseek() seeks the position over the EOF marker...

Ok, but does feof() take care of a previous fseek() ? This loop never exits in a test program I've done... try it out plz if you can:

FILE* f;
long i;

f = fopen("c:\\a.txt","rb");

i = 0;

while (!feof(f))
{
fseek(f,i++,SEEK_SET); // seeks at 0,1,2,3,... until reach EOF (?)
}

fclose(f);

The file "a.txt" contains three simple characters.

I have a save-file from my program so structured:

char id[32]; // "DATASET_1"
int blocksize;
:
: <- various data for an amount of 'blocksize' bytes
:

char id[32]; // "DATASET_2"
int blocksize;
:
: <- various data for an amount of 'blocksize' bytes
:

char id[32]; // "DATASET_3"
int blocksize;
:
: <- various data for an amount of 'blocksize' bytes
:

With a generic number of "DATASET_#" When I try to load the file, I use code similiar to this:

char id[32];
int blocksize;
FILE* f;

f = fopen(filename, "rb");

while (!feof(f))
{
fread(id,sizeof(char),32,f); // read id
fread(&blocksize,sizeof(int),1,f); // read blocksize

if (strcmp(id,"DATASET\_1") == 0)
{
	fread( /\*  appropriate reading here \*/);
}
else if (strcmp(id,"DATASET\_2") == 0)
{
	fread( /\*  appropriate reading here \*/);
}
else // DATASET unknown
{
	// skip unknow block of data
	fseek(f,blocksize,SEEK\_CUR);
}

}//while

fclose(f);

When I do this, the while loop never exits if, for example, the last dataset is unknown, it seems that the fseek() function has no effect on the next "while (!feof(f))" call. I must take care of something about fseek under NT or WinXP or I must look for an error elsewhere ? By now, I assume the data to be written well. Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

I'm going to search for the XP version of the admin extensions, if they exist. Thanks.

I'm using ADO to interface with MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server 7) but I still have some doubts: 1. What the 'sa' UserID ? Can I use it from my app ? 2. How can I create new accounts (userid+password) for the SQL Servers ? (no NT accounts) I have scanned all options of the "osql.exe" utility but I have found nothing. Thanks in advance.

I've Windows XP, VC + SP5 I've installed (windowsxp.x86.fre.rtm.symbols.exe) but when I debug my application still they are not found: [...] Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ole32.dll', no matching symbolic information found. [...] But "C:\WINDOWS\SYMBOLS\DLL\ole32.pdb" exists, it's been installed by the exe above. I heard about a problem with 'pdb' files and about some changes to do in the registry under DevStudio but I don't remember more :( Any help? Thanks in advance.

Oh, thanks a lot, you have saved me... I used "Find" but nothing showed up (...) I found it in c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\ as you wrote. Thanks again :) :)

I can't run the code from the articles from CPj site. I haven't msado15.dll. I have downloaded and installed MDAC 2.7. I'm running WindowsXP. VC6 + SP5. MSDE + MSSQLServer 7

I have reinstalled, now all works... Thanks for your time

I have a little experience with ASM, learnt at Uni and played at home, I'll give a look at it but maybe another problem has come out. I have installed WinXP few weeks ago and I notice that no symbols are found during debugging. Maybe I have to download this 150MB package from MS site (windowsxp.x86.fre.rtm.symbols.exe) Another strange thing appened: if I put AfxMessageBox(s1) before strcpy(), the bug vanishes: void Buggy( char* result ) { char s1[6]; char s2[5]; strcpy(s1,"abcde"); strcpy(s2,"BUG!"); AfxMessageBox(s1); // DOESNT WORK strcpy(result,"anystring"); strcat(result,s1); } It displays "abcde" and 'result' is filled with "anystringabcde". If I comment out AfxMessageBox(s1) 'result' is filled with "anystringBUG!". I have made several programs, some little, others bigger, but I had never seen these strange beahviours, especially because on other PCs compiles fine. I must admit that I'm not expert in debugging, I prefer to proceed slowly, and run the program just after having added/removed some lines of code. Lately I have installed and removed MySQL, MSDE, various ServicePacks, maybe something has been wrong and I didn't notice.

I have found the article, thanks! Very interesting http://www.codeproject.com/debug/survivereleasever.asp) But life is hard: I have turned on debugging information for Release and the compiler gives me this error asa I press F5: "Command line error D2016 : '/ZI' and '/O2' command-line options are incompatible" /O2 is the parameter for the Optimization->MazimixeSpeed, and if I turn it OFF the bug doesn't appear, so debugging is useless in this case! Nice... Maybe I have to reinstall, I don't know

This is a very strange problem... rebooted, underclocked the processor, I have no idea... it still gives me different results: In Debug "anystringabcde" In Release "anystringBUG!" When Optimizations is MazimizeSpeed(default setting) Thanks for your time :(
