there are no hidden file extensions when doing directory lookups within a program. If you are talking about seeing file extensions in things like Explorer Windows or File Open dialogs, you do that by going to Tools / Folder Options / View in any Explorer Folder and uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types"

An application must contain the main function.
On the other hand, you may write a static library of functions (such libraries haven't the 'main block'), however that's a completely different thing...

Derived Class Function Pointer Error

J Forde5-Jan-10 0:11

Hi
I'm getting the following error during compilation:

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'void (__thiscall CCBEMFGUILayer::*)(const char *)' to 'void (__thiscall CCBEMFLayer::*)(const char *)'

on the line: pMFPostMessage = MFPostMessage; // see below

CCBEMFGUILayer::CCBEMFGUILayer()
{
sLayerSignature = "<SourceLayer Name=\"GUI\"";
pMFPostMessage = MFPostMessage;
}

CCBEMFGUILayer::~CCBEMFGUILayer()
{

}

string CCBEMFGUILayer::GetLayerSignature()
{
return sLayerSignature;
}

void CCBEMFGUILayer::MFPostMessage( const char *cGUIMessage )
{

string sRecvMessage;

sRecvMessage = (string)cGUIMessage;

return;
}

MFGUILayer inherits from MFLayer.

class CCBEMFLayer
{
public:
CCBEMFLayer();
virtual ~CCBEMFLayer();
virtual void MFPostMessage( const char * );
virtual string GetLayerSignature();
void (CCBEMFLayer::*pMFPostMessage)( const char * );

};

class CCBEMFGUILayer : public CCBEMFLayer
{
public:
CCBEMFGUILayer();
virtual ~CCBEMFGUILayer();
string GetLayerSignature();
void MFPostMessage( const char * );

protected:
string sLayerSignature;
};

MFGUILayer implements MFPostMessage and I want to store a pointer to this function so I can add it to a subscriber class and then call the appropriate function based on a message signature.

How do I cast this correctly (if at all)?

Any help or direction appreciated.

Jim

I thought I was doing that, however, turns out I was doing it in reverse - against the derived class - instead of the base class.

I've resolved the problem by declaring Base references and instantiating the derived class and casting where appropriate.

Thanks

how to mimic the operation of refurbishing desktop like the right-context-menu way?
in other words, you right-click on the desktop, there'll be the context menu which has the fresh button, you press fresh button to force refurbishing the desktop.
how can i mimic this operation through code.

You can write shell extension for adding additional items to context menu. For details you can refer The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions - Part I[^]

It's not as simple as that. There's not a WM_REFRESH type of message that you can send to a window and have it refresh itself. Using Spy++, you can see what messages are sent to the desktop's list control and how it responds. In order to mimic this, I suspect a shell extension would be in order.

Thanks for reply
i am useing

ADODB::_RecordsetPtr rSet;

to get values from MS Access through this code.When Ms Access datatype is adLongVarBinary.

(j is indext number)
_variant_t vtValue;
vtValue =rSet->Fields->GetItem(j)->Value;

Then i am geting values like this

vtValue laues like this.
safearray = safearray of UI1 = [27609](21 ' ',28 ' ',45 '-',0,2 ' ',0,0,0,10 '
',0,15 ' ',0,20 ' ',0,30 ' ',0,255 'ÿ',255 'ÿ',255 'ÿ',255 'ÿ',87 'W',111 'o',114 'r',107 'k',115 's',104 'h',101 'e',101 'e',116 't',0,69 'E',120 'x',99 'c',101 'e',108 'l',46 '.',83 'S',10...

So how can i get this values in redable formate.

What do you intend with 'readable format'? What's the array is supposed to contain?

I think you are trying to get values from a SAFEARRAY[^]

I suggest you to read this (How To Pass Arrays Between Visual Basic and C[^]) article, to get a starting point in SAFEARRAY handling.
