When you get going again, maybe you could try a template specialisation, which avoids the need for typeid or dynamic_cast's by making the compiler do the work for you.
This specialisation is so simple that it should  work even under VC6
template<class T>
void f(T t)
{
}
template<>
void f<CString>(CString t)
{
OutputDebugString(t);
}
int i = 0;
f(i);
CString str = "hello world";
f(str);
If you can keep you head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim;

did you try typeid() ??

For non RTTI way
You could try
IsKindOf
(Of course, this is not as good as RTTI. As this was invented by Microsoft
before the time where RTTI was approved by ANSI.)
For RTTI
you could try type_info or the one they mentiond dynamic_cast..

For MFC objects, have you looks at IsKindOf()?

i'm starting with MFC and drawing
i want to draw a consistent line when i click the mouse (with the function OnMouseMove). i tried with this, but it's not quite the result i want.
<br />
CClientDC dc(this);<br />
dc.MoveTo(point.x,point.y);<br />
dc.LineTo(point.x+1,point.y+1);<br />
this is also not nice:
<br />
CClientDC dc(this);<br />
dc.Rectangle(point.x,point.y,point.x+2,point.y+2);
any ideas?
thanks!!!

You need to remember each time the last point you drew to, and draw a line from the old point to the new point. I have a program here on CP that does it in GDI+, called doodle, from memory.
Man, that was a long time ago.

well, i tried with this code:
<br />
CClientDC dc(this);<br />
if ((p.x!=0)&&(p.y!=0))<br />
{<br />
dc.MoveTo(point.x, point.y);<br />
dc.LineTo(p.x,p.y);<br />
}<br />
dc.MoveTo(point.x, point.y);<br />
dc.LineTo(point.x+1, point.y+1);<br />
p=dc.GetCurrentPosition();<br />
p is a CPoint variable that i added to the class, and in the constructor i initialize it with zero.
The problem is that when i draw by moving the mouse while it is clicked, and then i unclick the mouse, if i click it again somewhere else, it draws a line from the last point where i clicked to the new position.
any ideas?
thanks!

Sure. Make that check if p.x and p.y are equal to negative one ( 0 is surely an acceptable value ) and set them both to negative one when the mouse button is raised.

THE QUESTION REQUIRES US TO DESIGN A FUNCTION AS MENTIONED BELOW, AND EVERYTIME I DEBUG THE PROGRAM, IT GIVES ME ONLY ONE ERROR WHICH IS MENTIONED RIGHT AT TEH BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
//Purpose::TO CONVERT A GIVEN SIX DIGIT INTEGER TO DATE FORMAT (dd/mm/yyyy)AND CHECK Y2K COMPLIANCE
#include "stdafx.h"
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
int D,DD,MM,YY;
void separateDate(int *temp,int *DD,int *MM,int *YY)
{
*DD=*temp/10000;
*MM=(*temp%10000)/100;
*YY=(*temp%10000)%100;
do
{
Console::WriteLine(S"\nEnter a Valid Date: ");
}
while (*DD<1 || *DD>31);
do
{
Console::WriteLine(S"\nEnter a Valid Date: ");
}
while (*MM<1 || *MM>12);
if (*YY<=36)
{

Console::ReadLine();
return 0;
}
//h:\Visual Studio Projects\Y2k\Y2K.cpp(28): error C2228: left of '.ToString' must have class/struct/union type
I HAVE ALSO MENTIONED THE ERROR IN THE LINES IT OCCURS, PLEASE HELP, AM IN A TIGHT SPOT!! THANKS

The problem is that the int C++ type is used, and it isn't a struct/class. You should use the System::Int32 type if you want to use the .ToString method.
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#using <mscorlib.dll><br />
using namespace System;<br />
<br />
System::Int32 D,DD,MM,YY;<br />
void separateDate(System::Int32 *temp,System::Int32 *DD,System::Int32 *MM,System::Int32 *YY)<br />
{<br />
*DD=*temp/10000;<br />
*MM=(*temp%10000)/100;<br />
*YY=(*temp%10000)%100;<br />
do<br />
{ <br />
Console::WriteLine(S"\nEnter a Valid Date: ");<br />
}<br />
while (*DD<1 || *DD>31);<br />
do<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"\nEnter a Valid Date: ");<br />
}<br />
while (*MM<1 || *MM>12);<br />
<br />
if (*YY<=36)<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"\nTHE DATE IS: {0}/{1}/20{2}",(*DD).ToString(),(*MM).ToString(),(*YY).ToString());<br />
}<br />
else<br />
if (*YY>36)<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"\nTHE DATE IS: {0}/{1}/19{2}",(*DD).ToString(),(*MM).ToString(),(*YY).ToString());<br />
}<br />
}<br />
int _tmain()<br />
{ <br />
Console::WriteLine(S"*******************************************************************");<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"\t\tDATE FORMAT");<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"*******************************************************************");<br />
<br />
void separateDate(System::Int32 *temp, System::Int32 *DD, System::Int32 *MM, System::Int32 *YY);<br />
Console::Write(S"\nENTER THE DATE (SIX DIGIT POSITIVE INTEGER): ");<br />
D=D.Parse(Console::ReadLine());<br />
separateDate(&D,&DD,&MM,&YY);<br />
<br />
Console::ReadLine();<br />
return 0;<br />
}

I want to compare member variables that are in the derived class and not the base class.
Can I overload operator== for a derived class?? Or do I have to define one for the base class as well.
Thanks.

CodeProject! Is there a simple way to determine file information about the current application you are in?
Specifically, I have an app called "MyApp.exe". I want to display its current file location, creation date, size, of my application in an "About" dialog.
If a user saves "MyApp.exe" to "d:\UsefulApps\MyApp.exe", then when I open the About dialog, it will tell me the current location is "d:\UsefulApps", created on "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.sss", and file size "250 kb".
What file classes are available to get this info from inside the Application itself?
Thank you very much,
You all rock!

you could try do a search hereabouts for 'versioninfo' or 'version info' - several authors have published articles about reading this from the resource buried in an exe. I dont know if it covers file size though, the obvious way of handling that is to get the exe name using a system call, then use one of the shell utilities or similar eg directory search to return the file size
hope this starts you on the right foot

GetModuleFileName(...) will return the location where MyApp.exe was launched.
CFile::GetStatus(...) will return file size, time stamp, ...
TCHAR chFileName[_MAX_PATH]="";
GetModuleFileName(NULL, chFileName, sizeof(chFileName));
CFileStatus rStatus;
CFile::GetStatus(chFileName, rStatus);

|

thanks for helping out .. on re-reading his question, he probably doesnt need 'version info' - and I'm flat maggot this am at the office and couldnt remember GerModuleFileName - I'd have had to do a search myself to find it ..

I have an application that I can build, then run in Debug mode. In that mode it is fine. When I configure the project for release, re-build, then try to run the application. I get exceptions. Has anyone ever seen this happen before?? I think I may need to add exception handling code in all my functions to find the problem.

There are quite few differences between the different builds. Your description is too vague to give any specific insight, however hope this helps, in particular rule 4:

I get a message that an exception occurred in the exe. I get a message box that lets me attempt to find the problem...but when I try stepping into the application to find the problem, I get assembler code...so I dont know where the problem is.
Thanks.
Jerry

Hi Jerry - If you get the assembler code, you can always then look at the call stack to see in which function the execution has stopped. You can show the call stack in the Visual Studio .NET IDE by Debug->Windows->Call Stack.
Hope this helps...
