Organization: National Chiao-Tung Univ.

Hi, guys:
  I am a software Engineer, and recently I took a project about writing 
nonstandard Windows device driver(VxD). But, most experienced engineers know 
that the best way to learn device driver is to discuss with others. Hence, I 
have many questions about device driver. I hope there are experienced people 
about VxD to talk with me. We can exchange our experiences or solve 
questions.Please reply via e-mail. My address is tflin@csie.nctu.edu.tw.
Your reply will be appreciated.

Best regards

I have the 3.1 DDK and by the end of the week will *finally* have the
Virtual Device Adaptation Guide (that they were supposed to send to
me when it was ready buy required 20 minutes of busy signals on the 1-800
number to actually get).  However, if this book's as good as the regular
Device Driver Adaptation Guide, it isn't going to be all that helpful.
Is there a decent reference on writing/modifying VxD's anywhere?  Maybe
one of Microsoft's tech notes makes things a little clearer.  It's just that
wading through 3500 lines of assembler (about average for the samples in the
DDK) looks like a time-consuming way to learn.

Subject: Visual Basic questions

Well, I thought I'd try converting a small Windows app written in C to
Visual Basic 1.0, but it appears I can't.  Here's some things I that
apparently can't be done in VB, or that I can't find in the doc:

1.  Append an item to the system menu and get notified when it's
    selected.  My app doesn't need a full-scale menu bar, so I just
    append my "About FOO..." menu item to the system menu.
2.  Send messages between forms.  My app uses three windows.   Clicking
    on a control in the main window causes immediate changes to the
    other two windows.
3.  Detect when the form is iconized. My app draws on its icon, which
    I understand can be done in Visual Basic, but when?  In C I just
    call IsIconic() whenever I get a WM_PAINT message and paint the
    icon when it (IsIconic) returns TRUE.  While I'm aware that I
    can call IsIconic from VB, surely I don't need to for such a
    simple thing?

Can some VB guru out there show me how to do these thing?
Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm following the examples in BORLAND C++ Programming for windows

But when I compiled the examples,(actually about all the examples) almost
everytime, the linker complains about duplications of methods or members 
in the original .cpp program.

I couldn't figure out the problem.

Is there anyone else on the net encounter similar problems?

Can you tell me how to solve it?

When you implicitly link an application with a library that contains 
entry points for a DLL, Windows needs to know the name of the DLL to 
load when the application is started.  Windows gets this name from the
LIBRARY statement in the .DEF file or the module name depending on the
parameters to implib.

You need to do a GetTextMetrics() with a DC that has a Courier 9 font
selected.  Use CreateFont() to get an appropriate font, SelectObject() to
get it into a DC, and then use GetTextMetrics() to obtain font information.
Be sure and select the original font back and delete the created font.

Assuming that items in the listbox have a fixed height you can divide the
height of the listbox window by the height of a single item.  The former
is obtained through GetClientRect() with the window handle of the listbox.
The latter can be had by sending the LB_GETITEMHEIGHT message to the
list.

Reply-To: bb760597@longs.LANCE.ColoState.Edu ()
Organization: Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO  80523
Keywords: OWL, objectwindows, MDI, dialog, TDialog 

I am trying to write an OWL MDI application that uses a modeless dialog
as a child window.  Unless I am doing something wrong (which is probably
the case), it doesn't appear that MDI supports dialogs as children.
 
I'm using the standard method of making dialog boxes...
 
class TMyDialog : public TDialog
{
public:
        PTComboBox aComboBox;
        PTEdit anEdit;
 
        TMyDialog(PTWindowsObject aParent, LPSTR aResourceID);
        ~TMyDialog();
};
 
TMyDialog::TMyDialog(PTWindowsObject aParent, LPSTR aResourceID) :
        TDialog(aParent, aResourceID)
{
        aComboBox = new TComboBox(this, ID_COMBO, 0);
        anEdit = new TEdit(this, ID_EDIT, 0);
}
 
TMyDialog::~TMyDialog()
{
        delete aComboBox;
        delete anEdit;
}
 
void TMyMainWindow::MakeTheDialogChild()
// TMyMainWindow is an inherited class of TMDIFrame
{
        PTWindowsObject PTWndObj;

// "MYDIALOG" is the Resource ID of the Dialog Box.
 
        if ((PTWndObj = GetModule()->MakeWindow(
                        new TMyDialog(this, "MYDIALOG"))) != NULL)
                ShowWindow(PTWndObj->HWindow, SW_SHOW);
        else
                BWCCMessageBox(HWindow, "Can't create MyDialog",
                                "DEBUG", MB_OK);
}
 
 
 
This segment of code works fine in a non-MDI application, but in my MDI
program, the dialog is displayed, but does not respond to messages, mouse
clicks, or any other user interaction.  The Edit control in the dialog box
does seem to accept text (via the TEdit::SetText function), but the
ComboBox doesn't work at all.

Comments, suggestions, and code fragments confirming or contradicting this
would be greatly appreciated.

I have installed WINWORD 2 under DOS/WIN 3.1 on a network drive and
it worked fine under NT/green as well. I haven't tried to install it
under NT/green or NT/blue. You have to copy some WIN.INI settings from
the WIN 3.1 to the WINNT WIN.INI to get all features like converting
Text/Graphics.

But we had (and still have) a problem on one specific machine a IBM-PS/2
90 16MB/27MB Pagefile. WINWORD 2 worked fine for a while on this machine.
After we did some customizing to NT, WINWORD 2 always said, that it
doesn't have enough memory to run, while EXCEL and Corel-Draw 3.0 run
perfectly (faster than under WIN 3.1).

Has anyone had the experience of sharing files stored on a SUN UNIX Sparcserver by NT clients?  I know that NT supports FTP and telnet, but I am specifically interested in NFS-like capability.  The two options that I see are:

1. Running LAN Manager server on SUN Sparcserver and using LAN Manager client capability on NT clients.
2. Running NFS-client software on NT and using NFS server capability of the SUN. 

Does anybody know what software is currently available in the market to implement one of the two options ?  Is there some other option that I am missing ?

Subject: WIN/NT Oct 92 DISKMAN CAUSING PROBLEMS
Date: 17 Nov 92 04:03:39 GMT
Organization: NJIT - EIES2


This question pertains to the windows nt disk manager - oct 92 release.

Hardware: 486/33 16meg ISA with two IDE hard disks and CHINON SCSI CD-ROM
	Disk1: 200 Mb Conner partioned as follows:
		1 Mb - OS/2 Boot Manager
		33Mb - DOS 5.0 (Primary)       FAT DRIVE C: - ACTIVE
	 	167Mb - Consensys UNIX 4.0.3
	Disk 2: 490 Mb Fujitsu partioned as follows:
		100Mb - Windows NT (Primary)   FAT DRIVE D:
		200Mb - Extended Logical 100Mb FAT DRIVE E:
					 100Mb FAT DRIVE F:
		190Mb - UNIX spare slice

The problem is that NT diskman shows the 190Mb UNIX spare slice as
DRIVE E: and the first extended logical 100Mb as DRIVE F:
The second 100Mb extended logical does not have any drive letters
assigned and I cannot access it.

Using menu options I did change the drive letters to E: and F:
for the extended logical drives and exited (SAVE is grayed out as
soon as you change a drive letter).  Diskman informed that the new
configuration needed a reboot.  However, after a reboot the drive letters
are back as they were before the switching.  I have tried this several times!

So, how can I access the second extended logical partition??

NOTE1: The extended logical was used by OS/2 2.0 but it was de-installed and
the extended logicals were recreated using DOS 5.0 FDISK.

NOTE2: My 3.5" floppy drive has been giving me a lot of errors with NT.
Especially while creating the install disk, formatting floppies and also
when I tried to save the configuration using DISKMAN's save option (and
the drive made awful sounds - as if the head was scrubbing the floppy disk!)

Posted? Posted where. I'd like to get hold of this driver, since the company

I also would be interested in knowing this, because my screen saver

Thus, I need to know how to get the discription from the exe file.

SCSI controllers, the FD-TMC 1660 is listed as found, but the system gives
a PAGE FAULT after searching for 3rd part controllers.  This could be a result
of searching for a 3rd party controller, but I think that it has made some
stupid assumption about the FD controller and it blows up when it goes to the
beginning of the next installation phase. (It starts playing around with your
disks).  Evidently, it is not doing some initialization to the FD controller.

To make this long explanation short, reset your computer or start from power
off when you boot the NT floppy.  Hope that it works for you.
