Subject: Edit control buffer location
Organization: Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, CA
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1992 22:19:11 GMT

Ok, I found out that edit controls use the local heap to get memory for the
buffer.  That's why my application was not able to display edit controls with
large amounts of text.  I have a large stack, and lots of static data (I need
both of them that way).

So my next question is: is there any way to get an edit control to use a
buffer from the global heap?  I see there's a way to set your own handle
(EM_SETHANDLE), but it only allows the handle to come from the local heap.

Anyone with some ideas to get around this?

Thanks.

I remember a long time ago that there was something 
called a "runtime" version of the windows kernel.  This 
would be bound to the application so that the user would 
not have to run the full windows shell.  Does my memory 
err?

My need is this:  our client needs to have a special 
version of our app in which the workstation runs our app 
and only our app. 

Any help along these lines would be greatly appreciated.

SendMessage(edit_wnd, WM_SETFONT, font_handle, redraw)

redraw can be TRUE or FALSE, depending on whether or not you want the
control redrawn immediately.

I'd like to use the cin function of Borland Turbo C++ version 3.0, but I need
it to not, I repeat, not skip white space on input.

For example

cin >> {variable_name} 

will take standard input, but if you hit the space bar, it goes all crazy.
Can anyon give me advice???
I've tried the setf() and unsetf() options several different ways,

cin.unsetf(ios::skipws)  // This should work somehow, I guess

but the books that come
with the software are very vague about this subject.

By the way, I just started using c++, and have found the new string libraries
to be excellent.  Yeah for C++ !!!!!

The other CDs the salesperson referred to are the later prerelease/beta
versions -- buying into the NT prerelease cycle gets you a series of releases
culminating in the final retail version of Windows NT.

There were three CDs provided at the July conference -- the one you have
(July Win32 prerelease), a CD with international versions of Windows 3.1, and
a "Developer Relations" CD with a bunch of white papers.  It looks like there
is more and better information on the Developer Network CDROM series, which
was released in beta a while ago and which has just shipped its first
"prerelease".  These CDs are available for $30 from the same Developer
Relations phone number where you ordered your Win32 CD -- it sounds like
you get "Pre-Release 1" and later "Pre-Release 2" for your $30 -- attendees
of the July conference got into this program for free.  The Developer Network
CD has has a ton of stuff on it, and seems well worth the money if you are
developing for Windows.  Not much specific to NT on it yet, though.

I have a Mediavision Proaudio 16 soundcard and a NEC CDR-83J CD-ROM
plugged into the SCSI connector on the card.  The card and the CD-ROM
work just fine under MS Windows 3.1, but they are not currently
supported under the Windows NT pre-Beta release.

My question is:  Will the Windows NT Beta release (scheduled for this
October) have support for the Proaudio 16 soundcard?  Will this support
also include the SCSI portion of the soundcard so that I can get access
to my CD-ROM while running Windows NT?

By the way, I also have a Adaptec 1740 SCSI disc controller, but I can't
seem to get it to work with the CD-ROM using Windows 3.1 or NT.  Has
anyone successfully interfaced the NEC CDR-83J CD-ROM to the Adaptec
1740 disc controller?  Upon booting with this hardware configuration,
Windows NT finds the Adaptec 1740 controller, but does not recognize the
CD-ROM.  And Windows 3.1 does not find the CD-ROM either.  Do I need to
get/load special drivers from Adaptec (or NEC) to support my CD-ROM in
this configuration?

Thanx for any help.

No, I never claimed that 16MB was a limit for the system, indeed the
CPU can address >16MB, I was concerned about adapter cards on an ISA
bus.  The ISA bus only has 24 addressing lines, limiting it to a 16MB
address space.

I've subsequently found out (from the Byte article on the VL bus) that
the VL extension slot gives a VL card all 32 data *and* address lines,
meaning that a VL card would not be limited to 16MB.

Now the burning question is whether or not the drivers for such cards
will be able to take advantage of the larger address space.  I'm
hoping that someone with a bit of knowledge of NT internals or driver
development can shed some light on the possibilities.

I'm leaning towards an EISA system anyway, but if the video drivers
are still going to shuffle data to the card via buffers below 16MB,
then I might as well get an ISA version of the ATI UltraPro rather
than an EISA version and save a few $$.

No, you can NFS mount with IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 and do a NET SHARE on a

you are not able to see any files on the NET USEd drive. This is not

Don't use HPFS386 of MS-LANMAN or IBM-LS, if you share the partition

unfortunately many people (including me) have sync problems with

Howdy netters,

At our lab we have developed quite a few applications based on
Microsoft's graphics library. The reason we are contemplating
on moving to NT is 1) to use "no 640K limit" environment and
2) to use Microsoft's 32 bit `C' compiler.

My question is, will Microsoft continue to provide a compatible
graphics library in future so that we can compile our code without
much modifications and have a smooth transition to NT environment?

Thank you for your help.

MEP was shipped with MSC 5.1, MASM 5.1, and MSPascal 4.0 (all those

Those docs are also part of the MS Programmer's Library CDROM.
