One way to achive this is by filling the DCB structure and passing this as parameter

Simple memory deallocation question (C++) [modified]

I am building a dynamic data table type that can have its metadata defined at runtime,
so the Table class will have a vector containing charater arrays of unknown length when
the class is defined.
I need to make a decision about how to handle memory allocation/deallocation for the Table
class. In the trivial example below, how and when is the memory that is allocated by new, deleted?
If I clear() or erase() elements from the vector, will it also be the same as delete []'ing the contents of the vector (the arrays)?

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string.h>

void Add_record(std::vector<char*> &Table){
char *n = new char[80];
strcpy(n, "Hello World!");
Table.push_back(n);
}

int main (void){
using namespace std;
vector<char*> Table;

for (int i = 0; i<10; ++i)
Add_record(Table);

for (int i = 0; i<10; ++i)
cout << "Table.at("<<i<<") = "<<Table.at(i)<<endl;

std::cin.get();
return 0;
}

Depends. Most modern operating systems will reclaim the memory when the process exits.

I may need to reuse the memory in this Table or possibly another one.
That is, while the process is running.

somehow I missed that question from your first post... oops.

No it does not free the memory allocated when you used the new operator

Bevan C Bird wrote:

I don't know what you mean by "reuse the memory". As long as you have the pointers in the vector you will have access to them. If you clear the vector, based on the code you posted, you will no longer have access to the memory.

Don't bother #includeing string.h and using char*: instead use #include <string> and
std::vector<std::string> and forget about memory allocation issues.

I can not access border in this message.
It draw rectangle around white part, but border are still there.
And when I turn off border in resource editor, my rect is partly covered by text background.

All Edit SubClass codeproject items, I had found, are about behaviour of Edit none of them about painting.

Displaying a bitmap

Hi
I'm new to Visual C++ and .NET Framework; I'm trying to display a bitmap image on a Windows Form in Visual Studio 2005 but am experiencing problems with this.

I have examples for VS 2003 but these don’t seem to work in VS 2005.

Does anyone have any examples of displaying a bitmap in VS 2005?

Any help appreciated

You asked on the C++ forum so on the c++ you can use of LoadImage for load image and use of WM_ERASEBKGND for show this image.;)

Port VC++ 6.0 project to Visual Studio 2005

Can anyone tell me where I can find an overview, directions, etc. on porting a Visual C++ 6.0 project to Visual Studio 2005?

Visual Studio 2005 says it will convert a Visual C++ Project, but I'm getting compilation errors with the original Visual C++ interface (the one defined in resource.h and the *.rc files), plus warnings like :
"WINVER not defined"
"too many actual parameters for macro 'ON_WM_ACTIVATE'

Should I try creating a new project with the old code?

Thanks.

Go to Google and in the Search box type: Microsoft Visual C++

Then click the "Search" button.

The first link in the list takes you to the "Visual C++ Developer Center" on MSDN, remember this for future reference (there might be like real information here useful to developers using Visual C++).

In the upper right hand corner of the page there is a box titled "Focus On", in the box the first link is titled "Migrating From Previous Versions of Visual C++"

good luck

I was able to address all of the problems and warnings I first mentioned, and the first application I tried to port is working.

However, I then tried to port another Visual C++ 6.0 project, and got a different set of errors.

This second application refers to some ACE include files for definitions shared by other applications.

This application is a GUI used to generate and edit ASCII files.

First, I get warnings of the form:
.../ace/OS.i(516):warning C4996'chdir' was declared depreciated

Then I get errors of the form:
.../ace/Task_T.i(15): error C2491:'ACE_Task<ace_synch_mutex_t,ace_synch_condition_t>::water_marks':definition of dllimport function not allowed.

Let me emphasize: this application refers to some ACE include files but does not include any ACE code. No ACE libraries are referenced in the project.

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

apparently that ace include file actually has code in it otherwise you would not get that compiler error. Also, IMHO changing the working directory is NOT "Best Practice".

I don't know what this 'ACE' library is but if the project doesn't use it, why does it include files from the library?

you posted some taged code which is understood as html by the web page.

please edit your message and check the little "Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)" at the end of the typing textarea...

moreover, no need to type in caps lock, and please be more descriptive about what you already tried and where you're stuck.

also, for your validation part, do you know that it already exists some XML parsers which get an XML Document and a DTD file and which validates the XML input file ?

thanks.
