Hello, In another forum there was a discussion about the IRS losing the e-mail messages. A person inquired about how to permanently delete a file. I was once told by a law enforcement agent that overwriting a file would prevent it from being recovered. I now know that is not correct and yet it...

Hi, I have resolved this matter. I was breaking the arc into pieces based on a predermined length. (.0001, .001, .005 or ....). I replaced that approach with a process where I use a predermined amount of chordal deviation to calculate the incremental angular segment that I use to calculate the...

Hi, I'm trying to write a motion control program. I wrote some code to generate XY coordinates starting from beginning to the end of the arc. The code works very well but it is extremely slow. The code was originally written in VB6 but I decided to try C++ to evaluate the performance compared...

Noway2, >but WINDOWS won't let you at them directly< I have wrote drivers and I have accessed those forbidden I/O addresses but the end result is very similar to walking an elephant through a tulip bed. It wasn't pretty. My System does not support the SMBus so my last driver project was for...

Noway2, I checked the Zen Timer and it is no more than a stopwatch timer. I have a Windows dll that I wrote that covers that task so the Zen Timer is a no starter. I'm a very determined individual when I actually set my mind to something. My very first programming project was to write the OS...

Noway2 & lionelhill, Thanks for your input. My application runs in Windows XP so the solution must also run in Windows XP. Is a Timer actually a thread with a Loop and an interrupt? C4C

Hello, I have been persuing this matter for two years without any positive results so I have decided to ask for help. There is a popular CNC machine tool control software named 'Mach 3' and it operates in Windows XP. The application has a timer that generates a user selectable frequency...

xwb, Thanks for your advice. As you probably noticed the subject title did not reflect real issue. Originally I was passing the data with a string and then splitting the at "|" followed by splitting sub string at "/" and then using atof to get the double values. That works very well so I...

Hello, First off, this is my first C++ project and as usual I have bit off more than I can chew, but that's my style of learning. Is there any way to pass an array from VB6 to a C++ DLL function? If not is there any way to pass a value that can be used to dimension an array in the function? I...

tg2003, Creating transparent controls is not difficult to do, but they also become invisible to the mouse and keyboard. When I want to have custom buttons on my GUI then I use a PictureBox control along with a resource file from which I get the different images required to simulate a button. I...

Hello, I'm an accomplished VB6 programmer, but that's the extent of my programming knowledge. Visual Basic has satisfied my needs but I decided it was time to learn the C/C++ programming languages. I find the VC98 IDE to be by far more user friendly in commparison to the VB98 IDE with the...
