Test against App

Hi,
further to this thread

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28674259/Problem-with-MFCApp.html

which file should I run/test, to MFCApp, to see if it is working as expected?

first, test the current program whether the paths created are all valid.

you also can do that programmitically by using

std::wifstream binfile((const TCHAR*)m_strFilePath, std::ios::binary | std::ios::in);
if (!binfile) 
{
      CString strMsg = "<";
      strMsg += m_strFilePath; 
      strMsg += ">, file does not exist!\n";
    
      AfxMessageBox(const TCHAR*)strMsg);
} 

Open in new window


in the BuildFileName member function.

note, currently the MfcApplication is based on unicode strings. therefore you would use wifstream and not ifstream. however, the functions of binaryfile are based on ansi strings. so we always would need to convert from wide strings to ansi strings and reverse. if you don't need the unicode in the mfc application, you simply could change the characterset from unicode to multi-byte in the general properties. i already prepared the current code for this switch. so the project should compile without changes if you alter the settings.

do you mean to adjust this event? if yes, what to adjust?
void CMfcApplication9Dlg::BuildFileName(const CString & strFileName)

	UpdateData(TRUE);
	CString strFileExt = _T(".idx");

	CString strFileNum;
	if (m_radSelection == nameSelected)

add the code i posted before UpdateData(FALSE) and after assignment of m_strFilePath.

did you think about the UNICODE - ANSI switch?

Sara
do you mean to relace the following part with your codes?
	CString strFileNum;
	if (m_radSelection == nameSelected)

no, of course not. i said 'add' the code between line 30 and line 31 of your code snippet. it simply would check whether the file exists on your disk.

Hua, we won't proceed if you don't try to understand the code.

Sara
Very sorry Sara. To the snippet below, I do not see the codes handling "binfile".
void CMfcApplication9Dlg::BuildFileName(const CString & strFileName)
{
	UpdateData(TRUE);
	CString strFileExt = _T(".idx");

	CString strFileNum;
	if (m_radSelection == nameSelected)
	{

			strFileNum = _T("_");
			strFileNum += m_strNameFileNum;

	{
		if (m_strNumberFileNum.IsEmpty() == false)
		{
			strFileNum = _T("_");
			strFileNum += m_strNumberFileNum;

	else
	{
		strFileExt = _T(".dat");

	CString strFilePath = m_strFilePath;
	int pos = strFilePath.Find(_T("\\fl"));
	if (pos > 0)

	strFilePath += strFileName;
	strFilePath += strFileNum;
	strFilePath += strFileExt;

there is no code handling binfile in the moment, since the dialog is not finished yet.

the current dialog only handles user selection which type of binary file to use and which file - if there are multiple ones - to choose.

if you add a check whether the selected file really exists we are done with that part and can add functionality where you can choose what to show from the file and how to present the data.

for example, we could show how many records are in the file. then let the user enter a record number and show that record both in binary format (hex) and text format. or we could search for a key in the index files and display the corresponding data record.

but you need to go on and not only wait for me to post the final codes.

there are still some questions open:
do you have a working dialog so far?
can you build the mfc app and run it from the ide?
does it work as expected?
did you change from unicode to multi-byte character set? it would make it much easier to call into the binaryfile if you do so, cause we wouldn't to convert from ansi text to unicode and vice versa?

Sara
Many thanks Sara.
I can see the relevant Dialog below
User generated image
and how to ensure my previous codes of the Dialog of my previous project, is also existing within the current project.

Regarding Multi-byte character set, should I ensure I'm using wchar_t for the character set of the proejct?
how to ensure my previous codes of the Dialog of my previous project, is also existing within the current project.
which code (functionality) do you want to overtake to the new dialog?

should I ensure I'm using wchar_t for the character set of the proejct?
it depends on whether the struct item has 'char' or 'wchar_t' for description member, and if it is wchar_t whether you actually have stored unicode characters in these fields. in the latter case we would need to show unicode strings in the gui as well and therefore the gui project should (must) use the unicode character set.

however, if the savebinaryfile has stored char buffers and not wchar_t, or the wchar_t texts only contain ansi or ascii characters, it makes not so much sense to always convert from char to wchar_t and reverse.

note the mfc project uses CString and TCHAR. when unicode character set was used, TCHAR was mapped as wchar_t and CString to CStringT<wchar_t>. if multi-byte character set is chosen in the settings, TCHAR is char type and CStringT<char> was mapped to CString. your current code is switchable to both. but when we use the binaryfile we have to make adaptions.

Sara
Good day Sara,
is there a way to copy the dialog highlighted below
User generated image
from previous project to current one? is there any quick way to copy the whole Dialog including its codes?
yes. you can select all controls in the dialog (for example with the mouse and pressed ctrl key), then copy to clipboard (ctrl+c), open the other project, add a new dialog in the resource tree and use ctrl+v to copy the old old dialog.

note, you should not copy into the current working dialog resource IDD_MFCAPPLICATION9_DIALOG since the controls would not fit to the code. but you could add mfcapplication8dlg.cpp and mfcapplication8dlg.h to the project and if you were using macro IDD_MFCAPPLICATION8_DIALOG for the second dialog resource (rename the new IDD_...  in resource tree) the dialog should compile.

Sara
I did previously copy both files to current project and do not know why now current project is having such appearance to the dialog

User generated image
while the previous project is fine like
User generated image
i don't know what you did and what you intend to do.

since you did not achieve the get the mfcapplication8 dialog working, i created a new dialog with a similar look and add the handling of controls such that a valid file path (string) was created. i made a step-by-step instruction how you could build the new project. as far as i understood you were able to get the program working.

i now understand that based on the working code you would like to get your old dialog working as well. you best would do that by looking at the working code and move parts of that to the old project and change ID numbers and variable names such that the (old) program compiles.

the other direction doesn't make so much sense. if you copy non-working code to the new project or change the resource you must not wonder that your results are strange. i don't see a way to help with that.

Sara
Good day Sara,
I'm to recreate the Dialog, that is highlighted, within Resource View below,
User generated image
while on the previous project, that is one Dialog Form, being highlighted below. Could you please advise how to make that a "Dialog Form", as to the previous project?
User generated image
no i can't. why you would want to recreate a form that was not working?

and why did you drop or spoil the dialog resource which i posted as a resource snippet?

and where i explained more than once how to replace that snippet in the .rc file?

Sara
Thanks Sara.

I do have the backup to the project.

Can I have the details to create the dialog based on such snippet?
the replacement of the dialog resource is described in detail from step 6 to step 10b in the previous question at https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28674259/Problem-with-MFCApp.html?anchorAnswerId=40847972#a40847972

after doing all steps you can build the solution by f7 and run it in the debugger by f5.

if there are errors you would post them here.

Sara
Many thanks Sara.
Can I have the details to run it from IDE?
you need to have a successful build (see output window) which you may have issued with f7 (or right-click on project in solution explorer and 'build' or right-click on solution in solution explorer and 'build solution' or using 'build' menu and 'build solution').

the active configuration probably should be 'Debug' (though it should work with 'Release' as well)

then press f5 (or debug menu and 'start debugging') and the dialog shows up. you can end it with clicking on cancel button (or esc or alt+f4).

Sara

p. s. if you never have done that before, it is really a pity, since each tutorial on using the visual studio would have told you those basics at the first page.
Good day Sara,
Any advice to the problem attached below

User generated image
when running the app?
And the last line below is where the break happens.

#pragma warning(suppress: 4985)
{
	// call shared/exported WinMain
	return AfxWinMain(hInstance, hPrevInstance, lpCmdLine, nCmdShow);
}

Open in new window

you may also post the stack window which can be found via 'Debug - Windows' if not already seen as a tab together with 'Output', 'Break', ...

in the exception settings you may set check box right of '0xc0000005 access violation' that the debugger stops immediately (next time) when the exception 'access violation' was thrown. if you click 'Break' button next time, the debugger would show exactly the line where the access violation happened (and not the line where the debugger found out that the exception wasn't handled as it is now).

then post your current file contents of resource.h, mfcapplication9.rc, mfcapplication9dlg.h and mfcapplication9dlg.cpp and mfcapplication9.cpp.

Sara
Here is what I can see to Call stack
User generated image
when I am to get

mfcapplication9.rc

I have got this
User generated image
Here is what I can see to Call stack
you first have to change exception settings for 'access violation' to stop immediately when the exception was thrown in order to get a meaningful stack contents. in the moment the stack is shown after the exception was not handled what is just before the application is quitting.

when I am to get mfcapplication9.rc
if you get this error the .rc file already was opened in a text window. you can search for it by using the dropdown button right to the file tab titles or by menu Window - Windows ...
in the text window select all contents and post it in a code block here.

Sara

Good day Sara,
where is the setting of this?
either click on 'Open Exception Settings' if you still have the exception message.

or you find it at menu

Debug - Exceptions... - Win32 exceptions

where you have to check the checkbox right of 0xc0000005 access violation

note, if you still have the exception, you may check whether the mfcapplication9.exe in debug folder is new. if not, the build still was not successful and you should have got an error when building with f7 in the visual studio. can you make a screenshot of the output window after build?

Sara
Good day Sara,
within the same machine, I've generated the relevant files, and now try to run the current MFCAPP, like
User generated imagebut I get nothing returned after having pressed "OK" in above.
Even if I've put the parameter like
User generated image
ok. no exceptions?

did you play with the radio buttons?  are the file paths generated ok?

then we could go to the next step which is to check whether the file path is valid and points to an existing file.

i will post some code soon.

Sara
Many thanks Sara. The relevant files have been generated fine.

Many thanks Sara.
I put all of your codes but I get this

Error	1	error RC1004: unexpected end of file found	C:\MfcApplication9 150702\MfcApplication9\resource.h	49	1	MfcApplication9

Open in new window

the error is from resource compiler. it sometimes has problems if the last line of a file was not ended with a linefeed. so the first you can try is to open the resource.h, goto last line and add a new line after the last #endif. store the file.

if that doesn't help, you may close the visual studio. then, get the file contents of all 4 files one by one into clipboard. open the old file with a text editor and replace all the contents. store the files. then open the project in visual studio, right-click on rc file in solution explorer (tree) and 'compile'.

tell me if you get the same error again.

Sara
i merged the new dialog resource snippet into the rc file you posted lastly.

you may replace the contents by using a text editor (or by using 'Open with..' and choose source editor in visual studio) and it should work.

Sara
Many many thanks Sara.
I can run it now and how about the values of "Number key" and "name key" below?

i implemented 'Record Number' input + GetRecord which would try to read the record from file and display it as hex bytes in the Hex Info window.

error messages would be displayed in the Output window.

next step is to display members of the displayed structure also in the output window like:

name_index.recnum = 12345
name_index.name = "AjxY29OzRnnyWpa"

the recnum 12345 then would point to Data Record 12345 with 10 items where one of them has name "AjxY29OzRnnyWpa"


next step is to make it possible to seek for number keys in the flout.dat or fnumber_xx via binary search.

next step is to make it possible to seek for name keys in the flout.dat or fname_xx via binary search.

Many many thanks Sara to your update!
I'll soon update you.
Sorry, I get these

when building it after having applied the codes to the project.
Good day Sara,
I see the relevant file does exist within the folder and do you know why I get the following message?
User generated image
Have a great weekend!
The dialog resource 102 is IDD_MFCAPPLICATION9_DIALOG (what you can see in resource.h)

if the rc compiler complains duplicate resource the rc file has two dialog resources for IDD_MFCAPPLICATION9_DIALOG where you have to remove the one which is not the last one i posted.

File <C:\dp4\flout.dat>, file doesn't exist.

i don't know where the files are located at your computer. i mean the last files written by savebinaryfile and where you read successfully with readbinaryfile. in the mfcapplication9dlg.cpp there is folder "c:\\dp4" used. you have to change that code if you moved your files to a different folder.

Sara
Many thanks Sara.
flout.dat does exist within c:\dp4, on the machine. and I do not know why the message does come out.
check whether you dialog cpp file exactly contains the following sequence:

      strFilePath += strFileName;
      strFilePath += strFileNum;
      strFilePath += strFileExt;
      m_strFilePath = strFilePath;

      struct stat fs = { 0 };
      char szPath[512] = { '\0' };
      if (sizeof(TCHAR) == 2)
      {
          size_t sizConverted = 0;
          wcstombs_s(&sizConverted, szPath, sizeof(szPath), (const wchar_t*)strFilePath, strFilePath.GetLength());
      }
      else
      {
          strcpy_s(szPath, sizeof(szPath), (const char *)(const TCHAR *)strFilePath);
      }
      m_strOutput = _T("");
      if (stat(szPath, &fs) != 0)
      {
          m_strOutput = _T("File <") + m_strFilePath + _T(">, File doesn't exist.");
      }

Open in new window


especially, it must be  if (stat(szPath, &fs) != 0) where i mean to remember that an older code had '== 0' instead of '!= 0'.

if the code is identically, you have to debug the sequence. set a breakpoint to line 'm_strFilePath = strFilePath;' and step with f10 until you come to the message file doesn't exist. check in the 'Auto' debug window which error code was returned by the stat function (1 means file not found, 3 means folder not found, 5 means access denied). the latter could happen if the file was opened in another program or editor. also check the contents of m_strFilePath. it may not contain 'funny' or 'unicode' characters.

Sara
note, you must have the last files i posted in https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28693180/Test-against-App.html?anchorAnswerId=40882467#a40882467 

AND

you must have replaced the snippet from line 'IDD_MFCAPPLICATION9_DIALOG DIALOGEX 0, 0, 584, 265' until line with 'END' in YOUR rc file by the snippet i posted in the same post. since you got 'duplicate resource' it seems to me that you did not replace but add ???

Sara
the resource file you sent by message contains 590 occurrences of the resource snippet IDD_MFCAPPLICATION9_DIALOG. it should have one.

what are you doing?

that is existing on the current project. but when I run it, the same message is still shown there, while the file does exist.
sorry, the rc file doesn't contain the last dialog resource i sent you with #40882467

here again is the full rc file where you have to replace all contents.

before compiling delete the mfcapplication9.aps which is in the same project folder.

i think i know what the problem is. on the dialog program we are using stat function to test whether the file exists. stat only works for files less than 2gb in size. i assume the flout.dat is bigger. so we have to use _stat64 as we did in readbinaryfile.
