I agree,

While I am no expert on the subject of neural networks I have developing a lossless compression program since May2003. I spend a minimum of 50 hours per week on it and usually closer to 100 hours per week. I have gone as far as to produce a bogus compression program that only has a 1% probability of compression. I leave it complete with source code on disk laying around in my back pack in case someone tries to steal the code while I am not looking. This could waste weeks even months of their time figuring out that it is bogus. Smile | :)

Specialty code is prized by many of us.

I do understand that you are only looking for starting point. Your question has sparked an interest for me. I did a search at google.com on neural network and found many great sources...

I would also try searching A.I. or artificial intelligence.
Good Luck!

Well this project, found using that same google search, provides full source code download so i don't understand what you are asking for.

I have some global variables in my program, but some of them (pointers) suddenly change without me doing it.. How is this possible?

By being overwritten, for example. In MSVC++ 6.0, you can set breakpoints on memory changing, this might help you. From the help file:

1. From the Edit menu, click Breakpoints.
2. Click the Data tab of the Breakpoints dialog box.
3. In the Expression text box, type the dereferenced pointer variable name (*p or p->next, for example).
4. Click OK to set the breakpoint.

You might want to consult the help file further (search for Breakpoint AND memory AND change, for example).

Ok.... dont know if i'm doing things the wrong way, but MSVC.NET gives me the message:

The following breakpoint cannot be set:
When 'g_resManager' changes
Data breakpoints are not supported in the Common Language Runtime.

I also tried to dereference g_resManager (which is a pointer) but that gave the same result..

Being the happy non-owner of MSVC.NET, I must direct you to the documentation for it. You want to set a breakpoint, and you want to set it when either the variable or the memory address changes. Search, man, search!

In the debugger, put a conditional breakpoint to see who or what is changing it

Have you single-stepped through the code to see which statement is writing to the memory address in question? Consider the following:

1) char c1 = 'D'; // 0x0012e7d8
2) char c2 = 'C'; // 0x0012e7d4
3) int *i3 = (int *) &c2; // point to the address of c2
4) *i3 = 1234567; // change the value at c2's address, thus stepping on c1

We never directly wrote to c1 or c2, but c1 got changed indirectly. Setting a breakpoint on the first two statements would not show you anything as the "damage" does not happen until the fourth statement. Make sense?

Either you are doing it but just don't know your code well enough to to recall where. (This happens more often than you would think), or you are overwriting it thourgh some memory that isn't as big as you think it is. Look for a global array near that point that is one member too small or some such.

You might be able to get a clue by seeing what it was changed to. Pull up your debugger after this happens, and look in memory to see if there is something supicious, not just with the variable overwritten, but also others near that location. If it is a string you have a good clue.

Your confusion on how to find these is one of the lesser reasons to consider global variables evil. (There is sometimes no way to get around them, but the less you have the better, and any you can get rid of is generally good practice)

Good luck.

Modeless Dialogs & Z order

Mark Kinsley22-Jun-04 4:47

I have a simple dialog app which creates a child window as follows:

CModeless_testDlg *pDlg = new CModeless_testDlg;
pDlg->Create(IDD_MODELESS_TEST_DIALOG,this);
pDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

The problem is that the child window is always on top of the parent window, even after selecting the parent. Is it possible to override this behaviour?

(I've set the parent dialog's 'Clip children' style but this does not seem to help. I also tried calls to change the Z order with no effect)

Any suggestions?

Maybe there is a better way, but you could destroy&recreate the one you want on top?

Make your modeless dialog a child of the desktop.

pDlg->Create(IDD_MODELESS_TEST_DIALOG, NULL);

Modeless Dialogs

hi All

i am calling a modeless dialog from my doc class using

CCPServerWait* m_pWaitDlg;
m_pWaitDlg = new CCPServerWait;
m_pWaitDlg->Create(IDD_DCPSERVER_WAIT);
m_pWaitDlg->m_wait_mes = "Confiming School Details...Please Wait";

m_pWaitDlg->UpdateData(FALSE);
m_pWaitDlg->CenterWindow(CWnd::GetDesktopWindow());

m_pWaitDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_pWaitDlg->UpdateWindow();
m_pWaitDlg->DestroyWindow();

now i have used this code successfully in other applications but in the current one is throwing out an error
on updatedata

i noticed when i debug that hWnd is equalling ????????

anyone any ideas ???

It would be far easier to help you if you elaborated on this. With the amount of info given, I can only say that you probably have a bug Smile | :)

David Crow22-Jun-04 5:59

The reason this code fails is you are trying to manipulate a nonexistent window. Lose the call to UpdateData(). Instead, call SetWindowText(m_wait_mes) in the dialog's OnInitDialog() method. Move the CenterWindow() call to the OnInitDialog() method, too.

thanks for that

before i display my modeless dialog, i call

ok = SQLCreateDataSource(m_hWnd,"CP_CMIS_CON");

now if i omit that, then my code works ok, but
with it then i get the errors

im calling a dialog (dialog A) from OnNewDocument in my doc class

then in dialog A i call the

SQLCreateDataSource(m_hWnd,"CP_CMIS_CON");

m_hWnd is equalling to (when i step through)

m_hWnd 0x000f0664 {unused=??? } HWND__ *

this displays the Create DataSource dialog ok, the user creates a
datasource, once complete the user is back to dialog A

after OnOK has been called in dialog A, control goes back to
OnNewDocument and the modeless dialog is displayed

hope that makes sense

But if you removed the call to UpdateData() and replaced it with a call to SetWindowText(), and moved it and the call to CenterWindow() to OnInitDialog(), you would not be getting the same errors.

Show us the OnNewDocument() and OnInitDialog() code.

double and float problem

Hi.
my problem:

<br />
double a=98;<br />
double b=100;<br />
double c=98/100;<br />
//then c=0.9799999999998 instead 0.98<br />

and why in delphi, vb, etc. i got the 0.98 but not in c++.
I even tried the /Op compiler setting and nothing.
I have readed the microsoft workaround of adding 1e-10 but does not work.
What should i do?.

Thanks in advance.

There is a very good chance that Delphi and VB are getting the exact same result but due to how they are displaying the number you as seeing a different result.

Floating point math is not exact.
