I have a question about to run an MFC dialog based C++ application from console: if I run my application from console, I see the application start and the console immediately back to prompt. I need that console wait the application exit before show me the prompt again. I tried on Visual Studio 6, 2005 and 2010 but the behavior is the same.

I'm trying to write a program that passes Windows messages back and forth from another program that controls a laboratory instrument. I was able to write a program that successfully passes instructions, as evidenced by the instrument doing what I tell it. However, I am having trouble getting a return status from the instrument. The manual instructs the following:
// demo code, etc.
// send message to the instrument operating software here...
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_COPYDATA, tag, (LPARAM) &cd)
Either a completion message or return data is returned. Remote commands ReturnStatus, ReturnTiming, and ReturnData return data. In either case, data is received through an asynchronous windows message inside Win32 COPYDATASTRUCT type data packet.For example, a typical OnCopyData window callback is shown below, where the string data retrieved is finally stored into a Microsoft CString object. Note the use of variable replyTag, discussed above, which is used to isolate the correct windows message returned.
BOOL CUserDlg::OnCopyData(CWnd* pWnd, COPYDATASTRUCT* cd) {
….
if (cd->dwData == replyTag) {
/* String pointing to status */
CString retStatus = (char*) cd->lpData;
}
….
}
I can't tell if my problem is in generating the replyTag, getting the HWND to my own console window, or the actual receiving part of the code.
When setting the replyTag, the manual instructs: UINT replyTag = RegisterWindowMessage(“SOFTMaxProReplyMsg”);. However, I have to put an "L" in front of the string or I get a data type error (can't convert const char* to LPCWSTR).
When setting a HWND for myself, the manual instructs: HWND MyWnd = GetSafeHwnd().
That produces an error because GetSafeHwnd is a function of the Cwnd class, and I don't have a Cwnd. I have replaced it with HWND MyWnd = GetConsoleWindow();
When listening for the reply message, the manual instructs what I quoted above. However, I again don't have a Cwnd. I therefore simply used
if (cd.dwData == replyTag) {
CString retStatus = (char*) cd.lpData;
}
The above if statement always evaluates false, and the cd.lpdata contains the message that I had sent out instead of a reply message. How to get a reply using my console application. Here is the full code of my function:
Code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>

#include<afxwin.h>
using namespace std;
void SendCommand(string command) {

I'm building a simple system management console application. I've abstracted the console "Menu" and derived from it a "WelcomeMenu" class with public inheritance.
The problem is that when instantiating a Menu* object and assigning it a new WelcomeMenu...I'm still not able to use WelcomeMenu's "ShowWelcomeMessage() with the Menu* object. Instead, I get "error: Class 'Menu' has no member function call 'ShowWelcomeMessage().' Which is true, but I thought a pointer-to-Menu object should be able to use the public methods of derived classes without casting in this case. Code follows.

I have been struggling to read a certificate in windows store from C++ DLL, but its not happening. from console application I can but when same code built as a DLL and tried to access from a separate console application. I think its not going to windows store to read the cert.

i have to create a console based application in c language that can join and split bitmap images. the requirements of the application are as follows :
1. Split Image
Enter number of parts:
Enter source image path:
Enter destination folder:
2. Join Images (all images should be of same width and height)
Enter image path:
Join more Image (y/n):
3. Exit
Take care of following things:
- Application should show number of images processed while running.
- Acceptable Image format is BMP only.
- Application should give all the validations for correct image name, type, size, path, etc.

I'm making a flash card type console application using visual studios 2013. The flash cards contain character that I can display using unicode. So far I am looking at about 200 characters across 2 unicode blocks which I don't want to hard code into my arrays. I thought of initializing my arrays using a loop. The only problem is I don't know how to add in hexadecimal. So is there a way to initialize my array without having to input 200 values my self? Also is hexadecimal addition possible without me having to write a function for it?

I see there's something called a manifest file but VS C++ EXPRESS seems different than non-express. The solutions I've seen show applets/tabs that I don't have in Express.
In one of my physical DEBUG folders are some .manifest. files and some a .res and .rc file.
I know you need to edit the XML and change asInvoker to requiredAdministrator (or something like that).
The confusing part is if I go into Project Properties, MANIFEST TOOL caret/tree, under INPUT AND OUTPUT, it shows this .manifest file is OUTPUT. It's as if it rewrites it every time with some defaults? I have edited it, but I see it's back to asInvoker. There is a spot to put in a ADDITIONAL manifest file (or .res file).
Does a manifest somehow affect the physical .exe file (something is imbedded in it??)?
How do I change my project to make sure that the .exe always runs as Admin? Will doing this ALSO allow me to DEBUG it in VS C++ EXPRESS without having to do anything different (play with manifest or run VS outright with Admin level)?
