Suggestions for writing application in Visual C++

I am in the process of converting an old DOS data acquisition program into Windows 2000/XP for ComputerBoards, Inc. data acquisition boards. I have written a VxD device driver so that the board will work in Win95/98. I have also written a Visual C++ interface that talks to the VxD. To get it to work with Win2000/XP, I know that I need to port the VxD to WDM (not too fun!).
Recently, my boss visited a lab which uses the NI-660x board. He wants me to try to use this board in my application instead of the Compuboard.
So, my question is this....what is the best/easiest solution? I want to reuse as much code as possible, so I don't want to trash my VC++ interface code. Also, I don't want to write a device dri
ver for the NI board. I looked on the NI web site, and it appears that there is a NI-DAQ software library that would allow me to control the NI board. I also saw on the web site that there is LabView, LabWindows, Measurement Studio, etc, etc. But, these seem to yield the most benefit when you are designing an interface. Another disadvantage is that they cost a lot of money, whereas it looks like NI-DAQ ships with the board. Therefore, it looks like NI-DAQ is the way to go???
Any suggestions (or horror stories about programming with the NI-DAQ library) would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Trina

NI-DAQ is the driver software and is free with the board. You DO NOT need to write your own device driver for the board. NI-DAQ provides a C-style API that you can use to program the board with from Visual C++.
Measurement Studio, CVI and LabVIEW are application development tools. They provide tools for analysis, user interface, networking, signal processing, etc. You don't need these tools to communicate with the board, all you need is NI-DAQ. You would want to consider buying Measurement Studio if you want to design a user interface for your program, want to do analysis (FFT, signal processing, mathematics), or need easy data publishing and network tools. LabVIEW and CVI are full development environments like Visual C++. LabVIEW is graphica
l programming and CVI is based on ANSI C. Measurement Studio includes tools that plug in to the VC++ and Visual Basic environments.
I'll let other users comment on the quality of our NI-DAQ driver software, but I think you will find that it is easy to use with many examples. If you have any questions about programming the 660x, just contact our support engineers via phone, e-mail, or this forum through http://www.ni.com/ask.

Suggestions for an application

I am a mobile application enthusiast and wish to develop an application that will really help mobile users across the globe or improve an existing application. I want suggestions (from an user's perspective) about applications you think will help everyone or about existing applications that can be improved further. Since i am making a foray into mobile application development i want to create something that will be really helpful for the users. I am starting for maemo community that is the reason for posting in this section...
Thank you..........

another good one is something i've seen on a blackbury where you can call people and you can transmit any number you want i.e. i could phone my mate and make him think it was someone else calling. not sure if it works fos sms but that would be even better seen as i usually use 10 of my 900 minutes a month and send 100's of texts

How do i use MIB-2 for writing MIB for my application?

For others who do not know what an MIB is, here is link that shows some more information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/snmp.htm . A quick Google of MIB did not turn up any useful information, but looking for SNMP quickly found this link.
It really turns out that I am not the person to help.
It turns out that I am not the person to help, but I always want to know more as I may have a similar problem later. I know from personal experience that it is easy to use a term commonly in a company or industry but have no one out side of that industry understand. I was asking if that was such a term (hopefully with a little humor). I'm sorry if my joke fell flat.
I hope that you get an answer,

Help needed in writing installers for swing application

Hi ,
I want to write an installer for one of our home grown profiler tool. I need to write the installer for different platforms such as windows,linux,solaris,HP-UX.
Does anybody have any idea of how to go ahead in writing installations. Share if there is any good links such as tutorials as well is thr any opensource tool (similar to installsheild) to write installers . As well following is the tentative algorithm for my install sheild
1. Create a home dir for the tool and put all the application files in tht.
2. Installing a 3rd party jar and make a home for it.
3. Option for user to select the features(i hv 2 features. user can either select both or select individual feature) to be installed.
4. Select the appserver home if any. On selection i hv to update the classpath in the startup batch file for the application(This is the toughest step i beleive bcoz each appserver have different folder structures and different startup batch files).

Tried obtaining the output using SQL and the result is as follows:

Suggest me a technology for my application plz

I need to develop an application which will take input from a user a transaction bill, for all th stock trading he/she has done.
The bill consist of a List of purchases and a List of sales info.
I need to store these bills and also operate on them to find the opening balances and the closing balances.
The bills are generated for each day.
Can anybody suggest me a proper technology from the following :
1) JDBC
2) JavaBeans
3) JDO - object persistence

Well thanks for the suggestion, but my application
does not have to do anything with the time at which
my scrips were bought. Its like, a person A has done
trading for the past whole year, thru a broker. The
broker has given him hard copies of each of the bills
(hundreds of them). The person A does not know much
about a computer and how to use it. So he gives this
job to a person B who understands accounts and the
computer very well. Now this person B takes the hard
copies of these bills and uses MS EXCEL to do his
work, which is tedious. So person B asked me to
generate this application which will just take the
bill info and generate opeening balance, closing and
all squaring off for previous purchases.
This is what the application is about.
Also i didn't get what you said about cache.
Thank you.Sounds error-prone, whether they enter the data in Excel or your app.
Too bad the broker couldn't send something electronically that they could upload to a database.
But Martin's point is correct - the three technologies you cite are just different ways to persist data to a relational database using Java.
I'd say that if you have to ask you should use the simplest one possible. (If you were knowledgable, you wouldn't have to ask.) Use JDBC.

Suggested Licensing for our applications

Hello:
This is my first post, so this will seem like a very inexperienced question. I'm currently evaluating the purchase of Oracle 10g Standard for our company. It is a relatively small company. One of our applications has 12-20 concurrent users accessing the database at a time, but on a very light level (that's the most widely used application).
I'm curious as to what licensing options we should consider, and what are the limitations. Does a "5 Named Users" mean that all application users wont be able fetch the data at the same time? Or does that type of licensing refer to the quantity of "accounts" (user1, user2, user3) we may have on a server? Currently all users connect under the same account for each application (we create an account per application and provide appropriate access to the required database for each), so we have around 6 different accounts.
We are using SQL Server at the time, but we are starting to see the need for increased performance since one of our applications is what we consider data-intensive (when compared to our company size). Our server has two Xeon processors, does that mean that a "Named Users" License wont apply?
When the suggestion of using Oracle appeared, a co-worker expressed that he understood that, while the cost of the DBMS is affordable, the required hardware is too costly. I tend to differ. Im assuming that I will be able to host the Database Server in our existing hardware. Am I correct?
Specs:
2x Xeon 3.0Ghz
4GB DDR2
Dell Rack Server PE2650
Raid 1 and Raid 5 (around 200GB)
Forgive my lack of knowledge, but Im no DB expert, I just consider myself a pseudo-functional user.
Regards,
Roberto Rivera

Your machine should work fine. However, I would not use Standard edition, I would use Standard Edition ONE which is specifily restricted to machines with a maximum of 2 processors. The costs follow.
If you want to pay a single fee for unlimited use of the database, then you would pay $5000.00 US dollars. If you want to pay per person then it would be $149.00 per person with a minimum of 5 people. Named users mean that if you have 20 employees that use the database, then you need to purchase 20 licenses even if only 5 users at a time would access the database. See the following link for additional information.

Suggested Feature for Adobe Application Manager

In an upcoming release I'd like to suggest a feature for the application manager. It would be nice if there was a shutdown computer after updates finish option. This way I could let it run when I finish working, leave, and have it take care of shutting everything down for me.

Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
Aarroonn789 the Adobe Application Manager is a main component of the Creative Cloud Desktop application. I would recommend removing and reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)

384           Chemistry,Computer Science,Mathematics,Physics
you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
and i want to know
1)which design is good in this case
(i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
detail table is not neccessary )
now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
2)how it could be designed in any other way.
any help/suggestion is welcome
thanks for your time --Pradeesh

Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
SELECT C.COMB_ID
, C.COMB_NAME
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
FROM COMBINATION C;
As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

     I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
      I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

J2EE Filter for /irj application

Hi,
i developed a J2EE Filter for irj application but i am getting some problem:
1) The irj application cannot load the J2EE Filter; it throws a ClassNotFoundException. I think that the problem is linked with a
    ClassPath/ClassLoader issue.
2) I don't know the session attribute name that stores the URL alias used by a user during logon step. I have to set up to null
     this attribute in order to obtain a recomputation of the portal desktop to show when a user change application using
     different alias.
These are the steps:
1) I made a jar file for the filter linked to a .sda file through NWDS.
2) I deployed this sda file throug NWDS
3) I changed the web.xml to configure the new filter component
4) restart the server but not worked.
Can anyone help me please?
Carlo Paglia

Hi,
the file is correctly located in the dir that you suggested. Opening Visual Administration tool i can see the entry "EnteprisePortalFilterLibrary" in the Libraries section linked with the jar name.
Restarting the server i obtain again ClassNotFoundException. I think that the problem is correlated to the server ClassPath but i don't know how to configure it.
Have you got other suggestions?
Kind regards,
Carlo Paglia

Support for 8-bit pseudocolor visuals on Solaris 10 u8 Virtualbox guest

Hello,
I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86 as a Virtualbox (3.0.8) guest on a WinXP host with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 vcard. I use JDS for the Solaris guest, and only 24-bit truecolor visuals are available for the desktop. I desperately need to run Xnest in 8-bit pseudocolor mode for an application. The video driver supplied with the Vbox Solaris guest additions has limited capability, and I think that until that driver is upgraded, I am out of luck. Does anyone have any different thoughts about that?
Is there a way to edit xorg.conf to get support for 8-bit pseudocolor overlay graphics? Wouldchanging the video driver in that file from vboxvideo to either VGA or VESA help? Any advice from an X expert would be GREATLY appreciated.
I've also tried to use svcadm to get the guest to open in 8-bit mode (default depth), but I think that the Vbox video driver (standard and VESA) only support 16- and 32-bit color modes. Is there some other way to get JDS or CDE in the guest to run in 8-bit color?
Thanks.....

Regarding expense, I was referring to the dual-headed card you suggested, not Xming.ah. my bad. Though most cards nowadays have dual outputs.
Here is a Vbox report documenting the whole situation, including Sun's replies regarding DirectColor:
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4557
it looks like you guys were talking past each other.
>
Note my outputs of xdpyinfo in there: no Pseudocolor visuals in 24-bit mode in the guest (the cause of my problem). My host NVIDIA card has dual DVI outputs, and I have two monitors; are you saying that I set one monitor in Windows to run in 8-bit, and then run Xming on that monitor, and then set up a remote display for my guest, and try and get the guest to display to that remote display? If so, that could be worth a try. If not, maybe I did not fully understand the idea from your first post. I'd rather not have to go out and buy a new dual-headed card unless absolutely necessary.The problem you have is that virtualbox needs a 8 bit display somewhere to send the output to. Send your end display is a windows display in 24 bit mode, it's a lose since windows won't (at least the last time I looked) allow an 8 bit window in a 24 bit desktop. You could try running the main windows display in 8 bit mode and then starting virtual box, but odds of things going in your favor is not great.
Your new idea of running a vnc server in 8-bit mode within Solaris is very interesting indeed. I am unfamiliar with vnc. I saw this page:
http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/VNC/vnc_on_solaris.shtml
It says that VNC comes with Solaris 10 u5, on the companion CD. I assume that u8 has it also.Somewhere along the line, sun began do bundle vnc as a part of solaris proper. It should be in /bin/vncserver.
I'll look into that. If you know of any other source of info on vnc, please let me know. Thank you VERY MUCH for the suggestion!!!Here's more or less what you should do:
1) login to your virtual solaris box
2) Start up a 8 bit vnc server by typing "vncserver -depth 8 :1"
3) After the setup questions (if I remember, you need to at least set a password), you can connect to the vncserver by
typing "vncviewer :1" and entring the password.
You could also get a windows VNC viewer and connect to the solaris vnc server. This may render faster, since you aren't running the vncviewer in a virtual session.
4) In the vnc viewer display (which may look funny because the default setup is usually a horriffic twm session), start your Xnest.
If you want cde, edit your .vnc/xstartup to look like:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
dtterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
dtwm &
If you want jds, replace the dttterm/dtwm with gnome-panel.

What are F. M's used for creating application log in application server

Hello
plz suggest which F.M's i have to use to create application log
Regards
Kanth

Hi Kanth,
You can go through the following Function Modules :
Application Log Maintenance
(i)APPL_LOG_DELETE With this function module you delete logs in the database according to specified selection conditions
(ii)APPL_LOG_DISPLAY With this function module you can analyze logs in the database.
(iii)APPL_LOG_DISPLAY_INTERN With this function module you can analyze logs in local memory, e.g. when you have only collected log records at runtime and do not want to write to the database.
(iv)APPL_LOG_INIT This function module checks whether the specified object or sub-object exists and deletes all existing associated data in local memory.
(v)APPL_LOG_READ_DB With this function module you read the log data in the database for an object or sub-object according to specified selection conditions.
(vi)APPL_LOG_READ_INTERN With this function module you read all log data whose log class has at least the specified value, from local memory, for the specified object or sub-object.
(vii)APPL_LOG_SET_OBJECT With this function module, you create a new object or sub-object for writing in local memory. With a flag you can control whether the
(viii)APPL_LOG_WRITE_u2026 messages are written in local memory or are output on the screen.
(ix)APPL_LOG_WRITE_DB With this function module you write all data for the specified object or sub-object in local memory to the database. If the log for the object or sub-object in question is new, the log number is returned to the calling program.
(x)APPL_LOG_WRITE_HEADER With this function module, you write the log header data in local memory.
(xi)APPL_LOG_WRITE_LOG_PARAMETERS With this function module, you write the name of the log parameters and the associated values for the specified object or sub-object in local memory. If this function module is called repeatedly for the same object or sub-object, the existing parameters are updated accordingly. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.
(xii)APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGE_PARAMS With this function module you write a single message, with parameters, in local memory. Otherwise the function module works like
(xiv)APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE.
(xv)APPL_LOG_WRITE_MESSAGES With this function module you write one or more messages, without parameters, in local memory.
(xvi)APPL_LOG_WRITE_SINGLE_MESSAGE With this function module you write a single message, without parameters, in local memory. If no header entry has yet been written for the object or sub-object, it is created. If you do not specify an object or sub-object with the call, the most recently used is assumed.
Regards,
Swapna.
