obj1 is an object, not a pointer. You need to change your definition to:
ClassName* obj1;
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

This is what I was talking about. Is there no way ( like: I could cast it somehow ) to assign this pointer to the object? I don't wan to change it.
This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

AmbiguousName wrote: I don't wan to change it. You have no choice; an object is not a pointer and cannot be cast as such. You also have the problem that obj1 will already have been instantiated in the constructor when your object is first created.

Well, you can cast a pointer to an object - in the same way that you can eat poisonous mushrooms: only once. (provided you manage to get past the compiler that is trying to save you from that embarassement)
|
|
|
|
|
Well, yes you can do anything you like ...

Please check this.
void AssignValue(ClassName* ptrValue)
{
ClassName& localObject = *ptrValue;
obj1 = localObject;
}
|
|
|
|

Yes, I was about to suggest this, but there is an error in this code: you cannot define a reference that is not const - it has to be
const ClassName& localObject = *ptrValue;
[edit]forget what I wrote next...
Instead of your suggestion, you could just do the assignment directly:
obj = *ptrValue;
Assuming that you have a valid implementation of the assignment operator, this should work.

According to the compiler this will not work because obj1 is not a modifiable lvalue; it is an existing object, and cannot be set to something else.

That is not my understanding, unless you are using a compiler where ClassName has a very specific predefined meaning. I was assuming that was just meant as a synonym for the actual class rather than a keyword. E. g. this should work:
class foo {
int val;
public:
foo(int v) : val(v) {}
int get() const { return val;}
};
class ABC {
foo obj1;
public:
void AssignValue(foo* ptr) {
obj1 = *ptr;
}
};
At least my compiler accepts it.

You are correct; I had to add default constructors (MS C++), but it then did what was required.

Yes, but this changes obj1 , which may or may not be what the original question didn't want (if the object is expensive to copy, making it a pointer rather than object, as previously suggested, might be the better solution).
If AmbiguousName has worked more with C# or Java, where the references are implicit, working with pointers might be confusing.
|

Well, not only his name is Ambigous, his inquiry is, too: it isn't clear whether his problem is that he cannot assign to obj1, or that he cannot assign it from a pointer. Anyway, the solutions have been pointed out, he just needs to pick the right one.

Have you tried to change that line of code to this
obj1 = *ptrValue;
This will make your obj1 member variable be a copy of the object that is pointed to by ptrValue.

So have you tried creating an assignment operator in the ClassName class?

AssignValue is a clear hint of what you intend to do: assign to the object obj1 the value held by the object pointed by ptrValue , hence
void AssignValue(ClassName* ptrValue)
{
obj1 = *ptrValue; }
Note you should define the ClassName assignment operator in order to make such code work.
Veni, vidi, vici.

Much clearer answer, I think.

Hello Friends
I was using code
void CMainFrame::OnInitMenuPopup(CMenu* a, UINT b, BOOL c)
{
FrameWnd::OnInitMenuPopUp( a,b,c);
}
And this one displaying MenuItems correctly.
Now,i trying to add icons to MenuItems.So for that I am using extenal CoolMenuManager to show up Icons with menuItems.
Here is code for this :
void CMainFrame::OnInitMenuPopup(CMenu* a, UINT b, BOOL c)
{
if(m_menuManager.InitMenuPopup(a,b,c))
FrameWnd::OnInitMenuPopUp( a,b,c);
}
Now, in this case,If i use External fn then only icons are showing up. But as now, i am calling frameWnd::OnINitMenupopup too then icons are coming and strings are not coming properly and only for some menuItems and even menuList is coming Wider covering whle screen.
Any Ideas?
Regards
Yogesh

Without knowing what CoolMenuManager does it is impossible to even hazard a guess.

Hello
I found something interesting tht icons and text of menuItem is coming fine Except the menuList. As i click on any menu,menuList pops up and that list is coming wider,covering almost full screen.
I checked that OnMeasureItem which calculates ItemWidth and height is Having some Prob.As I Converted this from VC6 to VS2010.
BOOL CCoolMenuManager::OnMeasureItem(LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpms)
{
ASSERT(lpms);
CMyItemData* pmd = (CMyItemData*)lpms->itemData;
ASSERT(pmd);
if (lpms->CtlType != ODT_MENU || !pmd->IsMyItemData())
return FALSE;
if (pmd->fType & MFT_SEPARATOR) {
lpms->itemHeight = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU)>>1;
lpms->itemWidth = 0;
} else {
CWindowDC dc(NULL); CRect rcText(0,0,0,0);
CFont* pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(GetMenuFont());
dc.DrawText(pmd->text, rcText, DT_MYSTANDARD|DT_CALCRECT);
dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);
lpms->itemHeight= max(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU), rcText.Height());
int cx = rcText.Width(); cx += CXTEXTMARGIN<<1; cx += CXGAP; cx += m_szButton.cx<<1;
cx -= GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXMENUCHECK)-1;
lpms->itemWidth = cx;
CMTRACE(_T("OnMeasureItem for '%s':\tw=%d h=%d\n"), (LPCTSTR)pmd->text,
lpms->itemWidth, lpms->itemHeight);
}
return TRUE; }
or u can refer to this link

I found tht Drawtext with parameter DT_CALCRECT is not returning right parameters of rectangle.
Any Ideas ?

Sorry no, what values does it return and what values do you think it should return?

Dear All
I wrote an application some time back in Visual C++ 6 and used Chartfx for some stuff. It works fine on XP as long as you register the cfx4032.ocx and the sfxbar.dll using regsvr32 prior to running it. I now need to run the application on Win7 32 bit. The application itself seems to run but I can't get a DLLRegisterServer failed 0x80020009 error when I try to register the cfx4032.ocx and sfxbar.dll using regsvr32.
Are there newer version of the ChartFx stuff that I can use without recompiling the application or some other way that I can solve this problem. I need the application in a few weeks time for a training course and then not much there after so I am reluctant to put too much effort it.
Thanks for any help that you can provide.
Regards
Andrew Hoole

Does regsvr32 need to be run as an administrator on the Win7 box?

Sorry yes I certainly do get an error. Not sure about the Administrator thing I'll have to give it a go.
