Re: QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString returns -37



Can you post a short piece of actual source code along with a specific path that you have tried and fails as described. That's the easiest way for us to tell what you're doing wrong. Errors like this are usually due to a subtle coding error which is lost in translation when you only post pseudo-code.

Hi all,

Using Windows QT SDK ver 7 and Visual Studio 7.

QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString() does not seem to work when I
pass it a data ref to a Unicode path. It may be as simple a path as
"c:\somedir\somesubdir\myfile.mov". I tried with Chinese chars too. The
code is as follows -


// tmpPath is a wchar_t array of size SOME_SIZE. Wchar_t is a typedef'ed
as // an unsigned short in my VC++ compiler.


DataReferenceRecord dataRef;
CFStringRef pathstr = CFStringCreateWithCharacters(0, (UniChar*) tmpPath,
SOME_SIZE);


QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString( pathstr, kQTWindowsPathStyle, 0,
&dataRef.dataRef, &dataRef.dataRefType);


QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString() returns an OSErr of -37 which
seems to be defined as -

bdNamErr = -37, /*there may be no bad names in the
final system!*/ in macerrors.h


I have tried the following -

1. Used kQTNativeDefaultPathStyle
2. Used CFStringGetCharactersPtr() after the call to
CFStringCreateWithCharacters() to verify the buffer contents and my
debugger IDE recognized the string so it apparently is good ?

Please help. I'm not sure what to try next.

Thanks.
