BlackSmith2-Sep-02 6:39 BlackSmith 2-Sep-02 6:39  The only reason you get 4 (4 bytes) for sizeof (cArray1) is that sizeof actually measures the size of the cArray1, which is a pointer. And as you probably know.... a size of a pointer is 4 bytes (in your compiler anyway...). char *cArray1 = new char[]; //very bad idea! No array size specified. instead, use fixed sized buffer: char cArray1[ARR_SIZE]; This one you can measure: size_t iArraySize = sizeof (cArray1)/sizeof(*cArray1); --BlackSmith-- /*The roof is on fire, we don't need no water, let the MF burn*/.

I was out of code for a while so I totally overlooked that fact about the operator referring to the pointer. Thanks for the help. I just used strlen and it works fine. Thanks for all the help! Re: How do I get the size of a character array of unspecified size? aritosteles2-Sep-02 18:11 aritosteles 2-Sep-02 18:11  Well... Your array is actually a pointer, so the function sizeof() will always return 4 because that's the size of a pointer. Getting the number of elements in an array is a different thing. Now, I think you should do this some other way. First of all, why would you want to give the user unlimited input length? Just specify a limit and save yourself a headache. Second, maybe it could help to know the length of the array before allocating any memory... but, well, what is it you want to do? Aritosteles VS.NET VC7 generated code, where is it? TigerNinja_2-Sep-02 5:18 TigerNinja_ 2-Sep-02 5:18  Hi all, If I use VS.NET to create a dialog application and say I add a ListCtrl with the designer and set the style to REPORT. So where is this information stored, does the designer generate code? For example I would look for some code in my project containing LVS_REPORT: m_myListCtrl.Create(<br /> WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER|LVS_REPORT,<br /> CRect(10,10,400,200), pParentWnd, 1); but that code does not exist in my project!

Tomasz Sowinski2-Sep-02 5:42 Tomasz Sowinski 2-Sep-02 5:42  There's no generated code. The dialog layout is defined by so-called 'dialog template' stored in program resources. When you invoke dialog box, Win32 API (not MFC) creates the dialog box and populates it with controls. The code you'll see in MFC app is responsible for creating CWnd-derived objects mapped to their Win32 API counterparts (HWNDs). Look in DoDataExchange for this.

When you will finish using it, then you have to free that memory with: delete [] data; I think you have to read little bit more about C++.

Colin Davies missing storage-class or type specifiers error Paul Silvernail2-Sep-02 4:29 Paul Silvernail 2-Sep-02 4:29  I am trying to write two classes that work togeather. One is a color storage class (CSoilColor) and a lookup table class (CColorChart). When I added a member variable to CSoilColor to hold a pointer to a CColorChart object, the compiler choked. Each header file has an include to each other so they should recognize each other, but from the error they apparently do not. Even though the comiler chokes, the development environment recognizes the CColorChart member variable because it allows me access to the CColorChart's members in the CSoilColor's cpp file. Here are the class definitions: #include "SoilColor.h" class CColorChart { public: bool IsValidColor(int nHue, int nValue, int nChroma); bool GetHue(int nHueID, CString& sHueName); bool GetRGBcolor(CSoilColor SC, COLORREF* RGBcolor); void InitChart(); bool GetColorName(int nHue, int nValue, int Chroma, CString& sColorName); CColorChart(); virtual ~CColorChart(); private: CString Hue[nMAXHUES]; COLORCHART Chart[nMAXHUES][nMAXVALUES][nMAXCHROMAS]; }; ===================================================== #include "ColorChart.h" class CSoilColor { public: CSoilColor(); virtual ~CSoilColor(); int GetChroma(); int GetValue(); int GetHue(); COLORREF GetRGBcolor(); bool SetColor(int nHue, int nValue, int nChroma); private: CColorChart* m_pColorChart; //ERROR HERE int m_nHue; int m_nValue; int m_nChroma; }; I think it is probably a simple error, but I am going crazy trying to find it! If anyone has Ideas, please let me know. Thank You. Re: missing storage-class or type specifiers error Tomasz Sowinski2-Sep-02 4:34 Tomasz Sowinski 2-Sep-02 4:34  Use forward declaration instead of #include: class CColorChart; class CSoilColor { ...

It drew lots of amusement from people who saw it, so it ended up as my email sig as well (and eventually when I came to create a decent website for myself, I thought up the name "grapefruitopia" as it rolls off the tongue nicely, is pretty bizarre, but easy to remember.) -- Help me!

However, I have seen it just stop showing the popup list (the VC status bar indicates that Intellisense is otherwise operating fine), and in that case just close & restart VC. --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt v1.4 - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm Re: No list?
