I've got it sorted now. I'm keeping this UI very vanilla. It's mostly just a shim to make Arduino work on a Windows machine so I don't need much.

Ps - maybe the WinCallbackItem unit helps.

Coding a windows app in GCC. I don't even want to try to get MFC to compile with it.

I'm working in GCC, which is a requirement for this project.

As such, I can't necessarily use things like MFC as I'm not sure their headers will compile with GCC. I haven't tried, honestly but see, because even if I did, I lack the resource editor needed to visually lay out the controls, not using visual studio.

So I'm kind of stuck with what I have.

Use Resource Hacker: Resource Hacker

It'll create the RC fles as per normal, or you can get it to spit out the C code for creating a drawn dialog.
It's what I use whenever I'm doing windows stuff with gcc.

Here's one of the lines during the build:

windres.exe   -J rc -O coff -i C:\Users\enhzf\DOCUME~1\code\GALLER~1\resource.rc -o obj\Debug\galleryPreview\resource.res

Can't remember the linking one, and unfortunately, this project won't build on this machine yet.

EDIT: still won't build, but I got it to spit out the linking line. Nothing special - just include the res file.

g++.exe  -o bin\Debug\galleryPreview.exe obj\Debug\cStaticLink\cStaticLink.o obj\Debug\galleryPreview\main.o obj\Debug\galleryPreview\network.o  obj\Debug\galleryPreview\resource.res  -lgdi32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lcomctl32 -lws2_32 -lOle32 -lwinmm

Hello,
I feel quite lost...
New laptop (bought this spring) using Windows 11 Pro with MS 365, however I guess I didn't have to install MS Teams at the beginning as I already had it.

In the first weeks, everything worked well, but ... suddenly:

MS Teams seems have turned into a chat-only application.

No phone calls therein.
No camera connected although I do have one!
Cannot even join an invitation I sent...
But I need a video-chat application.
Best, some that works on Windows 11 and lets people with Mac/Linux join as I invite them
For example for such useful and important things as online jobs interviews?

What has happened to MS Teams? How can I fix this?

Any ideas?

Apparently, MS Teams has "back doors". It may be a work in progress.

"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

I lose sound or video in MS Teams whenever my laptop sleeps. Rebooting fixes it though (and now I use hibernate before I unplug my laptop so it doesn't sleep).

So, what happens when you try to reinstall it? https://teams.microsoft.com has a "Get the Windows app" button to download the native Win32 EXE.

Failing that, I'd be surprised if the web client didn't work. And frankly I don't see much difference between it and the EXE.

DGrothe-PhD22-Sep-23 4:10

22-Sep-23 4:10

The web client is apparently prompting me to install the app (which is, although I do have Teams app...)
All of that redirects me to https://teams.live.com/_#/unsupportedBrowser[^] Sniff | :^)

My Teams app differs from the 2021 version of Teams shown in picture here Redirecting[^] in that mine only shows: Activity, Community, Chat, Calendar. No "Meetings", "Calls", "three dots menu". So I must have a newer version of MS Teams than that in the link below. However I cannot find a version number anyhow Sniff | :^)

Sounds like your trial period ended and you need to buy a license.

Well, but... I didn't get any period-ending reminder or notice beforehand. This keeps on puzzling me more and more...

The Teams that ships with Windows 11 is really just a chat application and should be uninstalled if you want the full Teams. What you're looking for is Microsoft Teams (Work or School) and you can download it from https://teams.microsoft.com (assuming you have a M365 Teams account that includes Teams).

DGrothe-PhD22-Sep-23 5:12

Well I used to know Serial Ports

22-Sep-23 5:12

I have M365 account, as I buy "

Microsoft 365 Family

" for every 12-15 months. However, that sounds different than "M365 Teams account" which I don't know at all.
Teams (Work or School) perhaps requires me to have a company's or a school's e-mail address. But I don't have such an e-mail address so far...

Hi All,

Time for a rant, I know how to get PC's to talk to the outside world given sufficient hardware and info. I am playing with a set of scales that we are abusing for a test rig. The device is a little odd and the timing of it is strange. You send it a 'Z\r\n' to zero it 'beep' (which according to the docs means received & understood) and period of time T it zero's, then reading is made via 'P\r\n' 'beep' and the reading is returned. The reading packet seems to hold the current tare weight, the number of readings made and a total. All we care about is the tare weight. If the unit is zeroed the tare weight according to logic should be 0.00 but no it is not there?? force a zero by the on scale function it returns a 0.00 tare weight? Combined with the lack of Vis Studio .NET beyond version 2003 (.NET 1.5??) means I have to make notes of how the software behaves and do the mods with 2008 all despite having the OK for a new version (2017 possibly needed for compatibility issues) I still don't have it. I'm doing my best with what I have (if some else tells me to use Python I will stick a fork in their eye)

What I normally do is to use a terminal emulation program to send commands "by hand" and see what's going on. If I have to spy on two devices talking serially, I use two COM ports to capture each side of the dialog.

That was my first though but I haven't done to much serial port work since Win 8, Win10 & Win11 I have not attacked in the same depth. The blessed tool I used to use won't work on Win11 (I also don't have Admin so problems!)

I use Termite: a simple RS232 terminal[^] and wcom32[^]. Both work fine in W11.
