Yeah, I tried turning off precompiled headers but its still giving me problems. I've recently tried using Dev-C++ and it's much easier to work in than VC++.

You can create multiple constructors via method overloading.

Each function/method that you create has something called a method signature.

void myMethod(int j);

That is an example of a...

I'm a bit confused on how the precompiled header system works. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and when trying to include multiple .cpp files in a project, they each, on compile, give me an unexpected...

anyone? :(

Okay, I'm learning how to load a WAV file into DirectSound in order to play it. I've successfully surfed through the headers of the WAV file, and loaded it. However, when I go to create a buffer...

Some characters do not get saved to a MySQL database, due to the way MySQL handles information. If your string you're inputting into a text or varchar field includes one of these symbols, ' for...

Hey there, I'm having a problem with the WAVEFORMATEX format, and setting my primary buffer's format. My code is below:


void ErrorBox(string strMessage) {
MessageBox(NULL, strMessage.c_str(),...

I didn't really solve the problem. I haven't found a good solution to this, although putting a slight delay on your sending function does seem to help--this is dependant on the speed of the program...

That's not a bad idea at all--sending the EOL termination character and completely ignore the fact that packets may stack. However, I used a 1ms sleep on my client that was sending data to my...

No luck.

Sending loop:

FD_SET setWrite;
FD_ZERO(&setWrite);
FD_SET(m_socket, &setWrite);
int n = m_socket + 1;
if (select(n, 0, &setWrite, 0, 0) != SOCKET_ERROR) {...

I've tried using a manual timer delay with GetTickCount(), and I've also tried using select(). When I make a loop and only check incoming data after 1ms (using GetTickCount()) I just get a big chunk...

Alright. I find it kind-of unreliable to base my receiving loop on a 1ms timer, I figured the winsock method would have something more..solid. I'll try it, thanks!

Also, do you know anything...

So you think giving my program a 1 ms delay will correct this issue indefinitely? Hmm, thanks for the feedback. Is there some function that actually checks the socket if it is ready to receive new...

Hello, I'm having a problem receiving information with Winsock. I have 2 programs written, one is a server capable of accepting sockets from multiple users, and the other is a simple one socket...

I found my problem. Apparently when you set the server's service IP to 127.0.0.1, it only accepts connections from that address. By setting it to INADDR_ANY it accepts any connection. Thanks for...

I'm using windows sockets 2, and I've been able to write a server using a client array of sockets to hold more than 1 client at a time. All of this is fine and dandy, I can have multiple clients...

Insulting? No, I did not intend on insulting anyone. Thanks anyway means the exact solution I was looking for was not provided, but some help was. So, since I didn't crown you, you think I'm...

No need to get snappy, I said I couldn't find proper documentation (spent a good 2 hours looking) and could only find documentation on the CString class, and not just the String class, where the...

Okay, I'm able to set my color key to black easily enough, but I'm having trouble setting it to purple.


COLORREF colorkey = RGB(180, 0, 180);

Think I got it now. With a little more digging up, it looks like myString.c_str() returns a c-string character array, which is exactly what functions like this require. Thanks for all the help...

I have actually tried using the common <string>. However, I have been having problems with conversions...let me further explain my problem.
