sorry but the static_cast keyword is part of the C++ language... portable so.

Maybe on the newer compilers, but not on the ones I started with. It's also not available in C. The point was that !! will work across the board whereas static_cast and bool will not.

ok if you want to port code from C++ to C... but you'll probably encounter many other problems...

but BOOL would in turn go into the whole idea of a boolean (only true/false) Smile | :)

if I'm not mistaken takes a bool less memory then a BOOL (in Java it is so I think), but then again maybe not.

but that would take us too far...

why BOOL would take more memory than a bool ??
one byte doesn't it ? Big Grin | :-D

Is a BOOL 1 Byte? I thought it was of size equal to an integer (cause 1,2,3,4,5,6,... = TRUE) bool doesn't know 0,1,2,3,4,...

bool is for certain 1 byte,
don't know about BOOL

Not really important when working with enough memory Wink | ;)

BOOL is an "int" and can have the same values as an int.

BOOL is 4 bytes on 32-bit systems.
bool, on the other hand, is 1 byte.

Fire up Visual C++ and run this code.

<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#include <conio.h><br />
#include <windows.h><br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char* argv[])<br />
{<br />
  printf("\nbool = %u",sizeof(bool));<br />
  printf("\nBOOL = %u",sizeof(BOOL));<br />
  getch();<br />
  return 0;<br />
}<br />

for the portability of bool, i agree. We should prefer BOOL instead...

no, BOOL is MS-specific, bool is ANSI C++. Also, you should always compare via similar types, so a correct form of the original (according to my profiler) would be:

bool bAllowUnvalidateTextResult = (siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT) == 1) ? true : false;

that is, if GetNbrValue returns an int.

yes. int too. and to prevent any change between architectures, the types ares redefined to be similar on every systems. that's called portability Big Grin | :-D

but the implicit casts also exist ! i only said that my code line was working. i never said it was the best !

What if GetNbrValue() returns 2? Do all non-zero values indicate true?

How about:

bool bAllowUnvalidateTextResult = (siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT) == 0) ? false : true;

bool a = b != 0;

MsFlexGrid and CDialogBar

Anonymous14-Jun-04 22:56

14-Jun-04 22:56

I've a got a problem using a MsFlexGrid control in a CDialogBar window.
I've developed a new class derived from CDialogBar in order to manage the DialogBar window.
My project is a MDI and the instance of my class (derived from CDialogBar) belongs to CMainFrame class.

My problem is the following:
- the MsFlexGrid control doesn't receive any user interface event (scroll up, scroll down, onbutton, and so on....). When the main window is shown, and the DialogBar is shown within it, the user can't manage the MsFlexGrid control: in example, clicking on scroll bar buttons doesn't have any effect.

I think I need to write some code in CMainFrame class in order to let it map all MsFlexGrid control windows messages, but I don't know how to do it !
I'm able to do it for other controls like buttons, listboxes and so on... but I think is not the same for MsFlexGrid. For that kind of controls I use the following code in CMainFrame:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CMDIFrameWnd)<br />
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_BTN_MY_BUTTON, CDlgbarMyDialogBar::OnBtnMyButton)<br />
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

But I'm almost sure it is not the same for the MSFlexgrid. By the way I don't need to write any code to let a listbox work in a CDialogBar...

so, can someone help me ?

Thank you very much !

Getting (x,y) Coords of MSChart

If it is possible I would like to know how could I get the (x,y) coordinate just by flying over the chart by the mouse, that is how do I translate the screen coords catched by the mouse to the x,y coords of the MSChart.
Thanks in advance to any reply

Scroll view & Print preview

Hi, I am a newbie using MFC. Most program scripts were copied from either books and examples.

I encounter a difficulty when I wanna to scroll view and print preview.

//======================
void CSLReaderView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
CSLReaderDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
// TODO: add draw code for native data here

//change the mapping mode
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_LOENGLISH);

//plot a rectanglar first, height 400 pixels, not shown in the script

// display data here
pDC->TextOut(100, -500, "RECORDING REPORT");
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
="" {
="" sprintf(s,="" "%3d",="" pdoc-="">m_SLDA[i].LAi);
pDC->TextOut(100, -540-i*20, s);
}

CSize docSize(100, 400+(N+10)*20); //doc size
CRect rect; //cal page size
GetClientRect(&rect);
CSize pageSize(rect.right, rect.bottom);
CSize lineSize(0, 20); //line size
SetScrollSizes(MM_LOENGLISH, docSize, pageSize, lineSize);
}

void CSLReaderView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CScrollView::OnInitialUpdate();
CSize sizeTotal;
sizeTotal.cx = sizeTotal.cy = 100;
SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT, sizeTotal);
}

void CSLReaderView::OnBeginPrinting(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
CSLReaderDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
int pageHeight = pDC->GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES); //page height (dots)
int logPixelsY = pDC->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY); //dots/inch for pt int plotHeight = (int) (4.0*logPixelsY); //rectan->pixels for pt
int lineHeight = (int) (0.2*logPixelsY); //line hight->pixels for pt int numPages = (pDoc->m_SLDA.GetSize()*lineHeight + plotHeight) / pageHeight + 1;
pInfo ->SetMaxPage(numPages);
}

void CSLReaderView::OnPrepareDC(CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
if (pDC->IsPrinting())
{
int pageHeight = pDC->GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES);
int OriginY = pageHeight * (pInfo->m_nCurPage-1);
pDC->SetViewportOrg(0, -OriginY);
}

//CScrollView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo); //CONFLICT 1: if so, print preview can not show the 2nd page

//CView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo); //CONFLICT 2: if so, view can not scroll
}

The conflict comes from the last two commands OnPrepareDC(), if use only the first, print preview can not show the 2nd page, i.e. all pages are the same. if use only the second, the view can not be scrolled properly in view.

Thanks for your time. The code is long but I have no other ways to describe it better.

Hai all,

I am uncleared with the logic used in the OnprepareDC() and OnDraw() functions in the the view class of the DRAWCLI sample application from microsoft msdn samples.

Can any one explain me.
