Hi all! I m using an open source project. When i start building the project files, first an executable (.exe) is run before build & upon its execution, the project files are built. This .exe has been included in the project's main directory. Now, i wanna know how this project is accessing the .exe file before the start of the build process. Is there any file (in case of MSVC 6.0) that needs to be looked for? or any other project settings, from where i can see that .exe's linking to the project? Usman Arif

I m trying to compile a visual c++ project. Its an open source (from www.openh323.org), named "Openh323". when i build the lib file of the project, the following error occurred. "Configuring Build Options This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Error executing c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. OpenH323sd.lib - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)" can any body tell me y this error occurred & wt should be its remedy? regards Usman Arif Usman Arif

Hi every one! I m trying to build a project in Visual C++ using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler. when i built a project file, this error occurred: "This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Error executing c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" some one kindly tell me y this error occurred & wts the remedy to it? Regards Usman Arif Usman Arif

Friend! That .lib file is already there, no problem with that. My problem is that i wanna access the external application's (in which .lib of my project was included already)function from my project. now, r u clear with my problem? if yes, suggest some remedy for it; if possible. Usman Arif

The external application, i m using, has an .exe file as its output file. I converted the output file to .lib file & then included it into my project, but the error is LNK1136 ,i.e. "Invalid or corrupt file". Usman Arif

External means another application. infact, i m integrating the dll of my project in an application (external). Now, in the next step, i m trying to access a class from the external application. For this, i included the header in my project. It worked fine uptil now. But, when i try to access a function from that external class, the linking error was thrown. Usman Arif

HI all! I m calling a function by a pointer of an external class & that pointer has been defined in the parent class of the class from which the already specified function is being called. The pointer's class is linked with the parent class (through its header). So, the scenario is that a function accesses the protected member of a parent class (pointer) & then uses that member to call a function. Now, when i compile the code, LNK2001/LNK1120 error is thrown. Can any body tell me y this problem occured & what about its remedy? Regards Usman Arif Usman Arif

Hi all! I m using a dll into my dialog based application. Now, in the next step, i want to access a class from my dialog based application into that dll. Is it possible? If yes, then how? Regards Usman Arif Usman Arif

Hi! I wanna preserve "this" pointer's address to some member variable, so that, at some later stage, i can reuse this address. If any one knows the solution (Visual C++'s reference), kindly inform me as soon as possible. Thnx Usman Arif Usman Arif

I have created a pointer of a class in the header file of another class & also, i have initialised a constructor of that class using that pointer, but, in a member function of the class whose header contains the declaration of the pointer. now i wanna access other functions of the class (whose pointer variable has been defined already in the header file), but the exception is thrown. the message declares it as "Access Violation". I m working in Visual C++ 6.0. If any one knows the solution, kindly reply me soon. Usman Arif
