Hello All : 

   Long time since I posted anything, but here I am again, hoping that You'll help me out :$
   
   So, I am trying to develop some form of instrumentation for my projects. Since all my projects are win32 oriented, these daysm i turned to the Windows API. I found that Windows has a way to export the symbols contained in a executable, to a .dbg file, by the API "SplitSymbols" ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680644%28VS.85%29.aspx ). 
   As I use mingw as a main compiler suite, I do not have all the necessary header files, or lib files, so I load the DLLs at run-time. ( I do not have the patience to track down the headers and adjust them to mingw. ) 

   So, the problem is : When I do use the "SplitSymbols" Api, the returned value is FALSE, with error set to 0xc0000005 ( Access error, if i am not mistaken. ) 

Here is how i use the api.



// ImageHlp.dll
    typedef BOOL (*pSplitSymbols)( PSTR, PSTR, PSTR, DWORD );

//...
bool Debug::LoadImageHlpMod()
{
    if ( NULL == ( hImagehlpDLL = LoadLibrary("Imagehlp.dll") ) )
        return false;
    if ( NULL == ( SplitSymbols = ( pSplitSymbols ) GetProcAddress( hImagehlpDLL, "SplitSymbols" ) ) )
        return false;
    return true;
}

// ... 
    char *DebugFile = NULL;
    DebugFile =(char *) HeapAlloc( hHeapHandle, HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, MAX_PATH );
    if ( NULL == DebugFile )
    {
        std::cerr << "Debug::StartupSymbolSystem - HeapAlloc falhou. Impossivel reservar memoria no heap. Erro : " << GetLastError() << std::endl;
        return false;
    }
    if ( FALSE == SplitSymbols( (PSTR)&("compression++1.exe"), NULL, (PSTR)DebugFile, 0 ) )
    {     
        std::cerr << "Debug::StartupSymbolSystem - SplitSymbol falhou. Nao foi criado o ficheiro " << std::hex << DebugFile << ". Erro : " << GetLastError() << std::endl;
        return false;
    } 
( note : I do know that (PSTR)&("") and std:: are not necessary. I do use them as a mnemonic to fixup later. )
    
The function returns false, and GetLastError() reports 0xc0000005. I am using Windows Vista x32 Basic. The compiler is Mingw fully patched. 
The DLL version I do not know, but I may look it up later. 


Please advise. Thank you all in advance for the help you always provide.

Hi folks,

I am having a bit of an issue with a multiline edit control that I am making with the CreateWindow function. I'm basically creating a dialog box with a large multiline edit field and a few buttons, and I want the user to be able to tab between these. If I make it a single line edit field it works fine (e.g. the tabbing behavior is just like in any standard dialog box which is what I want), but as soon as I change it to multiline then it captures the keyboard focus and then won't let go of it. In short, if I set default focus to one of the buttons then I can tab around, but as soon as the edit field gets the keyboard focus then it keeps it exclusively. This, of course, is what one would expect in an application such as notepad where the idea is to be able to do text processing, but this is not what I want in this case; I want standard dialog box tabbing functionality but with the multiline edit field. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!
Kind regards,

Philip Bennefall
