FSUIPC vs. Delphi 2010 - the solution!

[rzoltan]

Just a quick solution for you, who using - or trying to use - Delphi 2010 or newer for developing some clever tools for FSUIPC.

After compiling your program, and trying to connect to fsuipc, it doesn't connect. The error message is "IPC request contains bad data". It almost drove me crazy, I did not find any solution on the internet, so I had to figure it out by myself. I'm not expert in Delphi, just a hobbyist, so please forgive it if I made a horrible programming error.

- In the FPCUser.pas, find the following lines:

Function FSUIPC_Open(dwFSReq : DWORD; var dwResult : DWORD) : Boolean;
var
  szName  : AnsiString;

- Change the AnsiString to String:

Function FSUIPC_Open(dwFSReq : DWORD; var dwResult : DWORD) : Boolean;
var
  szName  : String;

That's all. Now you can connect, everything will work, except one thing: you will not able to parse the version number of FSUIPC.

Sorry for my bad english.

Happy programming!

I have same error in vs 2010.

I used VC++ MFC source file..

FSUIPC.h and FSUIPC.cpp

But Error was occured while compiling In FSUIPC.cpp

Error reason is 3rd parameter "UIPCMAIN" String.

So, I tried to correct this error as complier's comment.(C Type casting required..)

Compling was successed.

But, My Solution didn't connect FS.

Error Message is "Can not link with FS or WideFS???"

I did debug my solution.

As a result, window handle was not detected..

How do I do???
