Visual C++ :: Creating DLL That Will Be Used As Plugin In External Program Using MFC
Jan 30, 2013
This is the problem in detail:
I have a VC++ project to create a DLL that will be used as a Plug-in in an external programm. This DLL uses some MFC functions. The initial configuration of the project was:
-Use of MFC: Use MFC in a Static Library
-Common Language Runtime support: No Common Language Runtime support
-Runtime Library: Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)
This configuration worked fine, there were no compilation errors and the resulting DLL worked correctly.
The problem came when it was necessary to add to the DLL some functions of .NET, using the namespace System and similar. To do that, I had to change the Common Language Runtime support, to Common Language Runtime Support (/clr). Then, when I tried to compile, I got this message:
'/MTd' and '/clr' command-line options are incompatible
So I changed the Runtime Library to Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd). Then I got this error message:
Building MFC application with /MD[d] (CRT dll version) requires MFC shared dll version
So I also changed the Use of MFC to Use MFC in a Shared DLL.
After this, the compilation was correct. Then logically the size of the generated DLL is smaller, but this new DLL does not work correctly, the external program in which this DLL is used crashes.
I don't know what to do to fix the problem. Maybe I need to add some other DLLs or files to the directory where the DLL is located, where the external program uses it. But I would prefer to include a single DLL file, but this seems to be incompatible with the use of .NET functionality.
I'm trying to create a public and static field in a class called ResourceManager. But when trying to access the field even from inside the class it wont work. I'm getting this error message:
Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static int ResourceManager::num" (?num@ResourceManager@@2HA)
Here's my code: ResourceManager.h
Code:
class ResourceManager { public: static int num; static void loadContent();
I wanna create a DLL from my C++ program. My output of my C++ program is a text file called Centre_Cartouche.txt My output is two text files called brd.txt and sym.txt
At the beginning my program was just a main which contains all development (Main.cpp). Now I created function (in _Cartouche.h and _Cartouche.cpp).
My debugger tell me that the simulation works. But my file Centre_Cartouche.txt is not create.
#include <iostream> double fact (int f); //declaration of factorial function double power(double x, int y); //declaration of power function double sin(int x); //declaration of sine function //double cos(int x); //declaration of cosine function //double tan(int x); //declaration of tangent function
I am trying to call an external application in my C++ program , example, system("C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe"); but the application just gets closed.
1. double slashes need to be used. 2. the command that worked for me was "ShellExecuteEx"
The project builds on Win32 platform, but not on x64.
Full error message: dllentry.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class CFactoryTemplate * g_Templates" (?g_Templates@@3PAVCFactoryTemplate@@A)
The dllentry.cpp (a DirectShow base class) compiles on both platforms. It contains the external declarations:
extern CFactoryTemplate g_Templates[]; extern int g_cTemplates; g_Templates[] is then used in two functions: __control_entrypoint(DllExport) STDAPI DllGetClassObject(__in REFCLSID rClsID, __in REFIID riid, __deref_out void **pv)
[Code]...
myClass.cpp contains the definitions for the two externals in dllentry.cpp, at top level, just after the includes:
CFactoryTemplate* g_Templates=0; int g_cTemplates=0;
myClass.cpp also compiles by itself, but the project does not build. I checked all the libraries in the project settings and all seems to be OK, the 64 bit versions are used.
What should I do to make the project build for x64 platform?
Is it possible to create a program like Robocode, a game controlled at runtime by an external source file in visual c ++? For example create a checkers game where there would be an external source file, read at runtime, which would play automatically, with artificial intelligence. You can? If yes, how?
How is it possible to store the related data of a program C++ into an external file (like as .txt) and retrieve it?
I want to write c++ program that can contain data members " id and phone"
like as Code: class profile { private: int id,phone; public: void retriever() { cout<<"Enter your ID: "; cin>>id; cout<<"Your Phone number is "<< phone; }; }
avoiding formats in above class, purpose is to store data already in txt file with different id and phone numbers and it is to be retrieved by matching id number to txt file and viewing its related phone number.
When I try to compile a program from a C book I am following I am getting these errors, I have looked for ways to resolve it but I wasn't able to.

The brief is to write a program that implements a musically-interesting or musically-useful audio effect/process in C without external libraries other than those prescribed (PortMedia/PortMIDI/PortSMF/PortAudio, Libsndfile).
How can I send information and receive from external command prompt from my program??. I want to run an external command prompt, a code that's is not mine, to send information to this command prompt, then make my program hit enter at the command prompt and then receive back information from the command prompt.
I'm looking at writing my own plug-in app, but I know that deleting class instances that were created in a plug-in module can result in the dreaded "undefined behaviour" because of the different memory spaces. Many examples of plug-ins use create_class and destroy_class functions to resolve this problem, but I wondered about overriding / overloading the class's new and delete operators. This would be used for all third-party library class derivations (e.g. derived GUI classes) and all home-grown classes.
The operators would only be declared in the class declaration:
class PluginBase { public: void *operator new(std::size_t n); void operator delete(void *p); // Other plugin bits
While the actual implementation would be defined in the plug-in's implementation file:
This would need to be implemented in every transferable plug-in class (possibly by a crafty IMPLEMENT_PLUGIN(classname) macro or some other mechanism), but before I commit this to my code I was hoping for feedback. Does this sound like a good idea? The GUI classes in particular are handled by a third-party library, so it's some memory-space safe way of deleting them by the GUI library (in the app) that I'm looking for.
So I'm trying to accomplish something that right seems to hard for it to be worth it. I'm trying to write a plugin framework/system for my game. I have read about it and everything that pops up says it's OS-specific and you have to load the plugins from either a .so file on linux or from a .dll file on Windows. So here lie my questions:
-Is there any universal way of accomplishing this?
-Every way I've seen assumes i know the names of the functions I'm calling which doesn't hold true if the plugin are written by a 3rd party. How would i turn the table on this matter?
How to create/use a graphical interface. Especially since Microsoft has removed Windows Form Application support from Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
I know that Windows Form Application is still supported with C#, but C# is definitely not an option as the program I am developing is heavily depended on some of C++'s more advanced features not present in C#.
Is there an alternative to Windows Form Application? I would definitely prefer one, as I doubt that some workarounds would work for long. What are common ways to create a GUI application in C++? There certainly must be some ways. In Java one would use something like JFrame.
Crossplattformcompatibility: The program I am creating is a Microsoft Windows program only. So I don't care if it runs on Linux or Mac. It only has to run from Windows 7 onward. So if there are more than one standard ways to create a GUI, I would prefer the one working best for Windows.
I'm turning mad with a little problem with Visual Studio 2008 and MFC. I'm working on a project actually and I'm trying to create an SDI Application. Right, now I want to add a dockable DialogBar. Well, the first time I added it with the resource view, I can create the bar without problems. But... I want to add some controls like a couple of ListBox, buttons and so on. The program doesn't allows me to create member variables for these controls. The option appears in grey.
Searching a little, I found that it's mandatory to create a new class derived from CDialogBar and "enhance" it with the Message handler and so on. I've been reading some tutorials and it didn't work for me.
Is it possible to create a virtual mini server (like IIS) that takes http request? I have a toolbar that queries an DLL using http request, and then that DLL stores some arguments in some XML file, which is read by an anti-malware.
Now every customer can't have an IIS server installed. Most of the end users uses Windows XP home edition. So is there a way i can create a virtual mini server that can be used in these PCs for placing http request?
I am trying to simulate the logical circuits having NAND gates. I am reading the structure from .bench file. The structure of a circuit looks like below:
It can be seen that the inputs for Gate 22 are 10 and 16 which are also NAND gates. On the other hand, for gate 10, the inputs are 1 and 3 which are simple inputs. So, i need to sort the gates topologically. Although topological sort will not affect the output for this particular example but i have big circuits also in which topological sort is required. But we can use this simple example to do the topological sort.
My effort:I thought to create a map which will keep the information about the gate name and its indegree. But i am unable to proceed further.
Code: void Circuit::topologicalSort()//topological sorting (for the mixed circuits) { int counter = 0; std::map<string, int> unsortTopoList; //this list keeps a track of gate name and its Indegree for(int i=0; i<gates.size(); i++) {
I want to create the choose_directory_Automatically property if its not exists. But I don't know how. If the CreateIProp method returns me a pointer in lpPropData how can I put the PropTag and the Value in it?
I have already implemented change the property if it exists already but the Outlook Addressbook stays on automatically until I or the user creates this property. I took a look with OutlookSpy at this property but I could not come any further.

I know this refers to declaring "Simple_window win(Point(100,100), 600,400, "semi-ellipse");" in global state. But I did that because I had to do it. The problem is that how to attach lines and also object (here b) to Simple_window win in either parts (main() function and also Box struct).
