I did not find anything inherently wrong with your code snippet as it worked fine for me with no changes. A few things you *might* want to consider would be:

char szFile[512] = {'\0'};
ofn.nMaxFile      = sizeof(szFile);
ofn.lpstrFilter   = "All (*.*)\0*.*\0TT Route Log (*.TRL)\0*.TRL\0";

While they don't hurt anything, the statements that assign NULL and 0 to the other structure members are not necessary. ZeroMemory() has already handled that.

Also, check out MSDN article Q222003.

Haven't tried the actual code, but the one thing I notice is

ofn.lpstrFilter = "All\0*.*\0TT Route Log\0*.TRL\0";

lpstrFilter needs to de double NULL terminated, like

ofn.lpstrFilter = "All\0*.*\0TT Route Log\0*.TRL\0\0";

That fixed it. Thank you very much. Im suprised because that code was copied straight from MSDN

The is an implied \0 at the end of every string literal. So the string "All\0*.*\0TT Route Log\0*.TRL\0\0" actually end with three of them.

Problem implementing the priority_queue

Hello:

I'm trying to do a proirity_queue like this:

 #include < queue ><br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
struct stman{<br />
   int age;<br />
   double Height;<br />
   char Name[255];<br />
}<br />
<br />
priority_queue <stman> myQueue;<br />
stman sMan;<br />
<br />
int main(){<br />
<br />
  myQueue.push(sMan);<br />
  <br />
}

The code here does nothing... Hmmm | :|

but it explains the trouble in what i am, i can't save these tipe of struct into the queue, and order the priority based in the age of any instance of the struct.

The question is... someone knows how solve it??? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Thank you in advance

change control postion during runtime in win32

I have a problem in changing the position of a checkbox control during runtime.

i created the checkbox control during runtime also.

i have tried using SendMessage

SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDD_PIN_BUTTON + (intPinChkCtr)), WM_MOVE, 0, MAKELPARAM( (WORD)rectDialog.left, (WORD)rectDialog.top++) );

during debug while watching the return of the GetWindowRect() it says that the controls top property has increased but it seems that the control has not moved its position in the dialog.

any suggestions?

thanks!

it is not very proper to combine such operations on the same line, especially when you do not / cannot know in which order it is executed...

in your :

SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDD_PIN_BUTTON + (intPinChkCtr)), WM_MOVE, 0, MAKELPARAM( (WORD)rectDialog.left, (WORD)rectDialog.top++) );

are you sure the rectDialog.top++ is executed before the GetDlgItem() funciton is executed ?

wouldn't it be better to write ++(rectDialog.top), or better extract it before the line, then pass the value ?

thanks for the suggestion.
i tried it but it seems that the incremented top position was not kept.
during debug the top value would change but if i would be going back to the break point
again the previous top value was retained.

GetWindowRect( GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDD_PIN_BUTTON + (intPinChkCtr)), &rectDialog ); //breakpoint here<br />
sizeDialog.cx = rectDialog.right - rectDialog.left;<br />
sizeDialog.cy = rectDialog.bottom - rectDialog.top;<br />
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDD_PIN_BUTTON + (intPinChkCtr)), WM_MOVE, 0, MAKELPARAM( (WORD)rectDialog.left, (WORD)(++rectDialog.top)) );

it seems like the control was not keeping the changes from the SendMessage()

unsigned chars to unsigned short

Hi all,

I got two unsigned chars that I need to convert into a unsigned short whereby the two chars act as the upper and lower bytes of the short. How do I go about this. It seems in my head to be a simple matter but I just can't figure it out.

Thank you in advance
Rich

<font color=blue>unsigned char</font> ucMSB = 0x6F,
              ucLSB = 0xA4;
 
<font color=green>// We want (usVal == 0x6FA4)...</font>
<font color=blue>unsigned short</font> usVal = (((<font color=blue>unsigned short</font>)ucMSB) << 8) | ((<font color=blue>unsigned short</font>)ucLSB);

easy isn't it ?! Big Grin | :-D

pssst: it seems that you have some troubles with bytes manipulation ; as it is not the first time you ask such question... what are you trying to do with all these ?

Thanks for the help guys.

What am I doing? I'm converting user input ( from gui ) into the smallest possible form ( hence the splitting of data ), transmit it to another source via serial comms which then sends a message back. The message then has to put back into a readable form so it can be displyed in the gui. I've got the Tx side of things sorted now but I'm just tying up the Rx data.

I knew it was simple but I just couldn't figure it out. Time to blow brains out I think. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

short nYourShort = cYourChar1;
(&nYourShort) + 1 = cYourChar2;

Or:

short nYourShort = ((short) cYourChar1) + ((short) cYourChar2) * 255;

why multiply cYourChar2 with 255 you ask. Well its the same as shifting all the bits 8 places to the left (towards the MSB). The equivilant would be: ((short)cYourChar2) << 8.

There are many solutions to this problem, these are just a few.
