If you want to advertise, do it the correct way and buy a banner!

We saw your add yesterday, and we are going to ignore this one just the same.

this isn't an appropriate way to advertise your product. pay for your ads, like everyone else.

Well I be(e) darned, another freeloader!

Free advertising might be good sometimes and in some places (for the advertiser, it's almost alwas just an annoyance for the poor souls happening to see it).
As you have by now hopefully been aware this was neither the time nor the place for it.

For the ones disliking annoying ad-gifs and crap, why not use JunkBuster? It's GPL and can block just about anything you want. There's a SourceForge project called ijbswa (IIRC) that runs it in the tray and adds fun stuff as perl-compatible regexp to replace page contents on-the-fly. Make e.g. /. look like CP? Smile | :)

If you really want to give it away for free, why not post it here on CP in the Free Tools section. Articles there do not have to include the source code, but source code is really appreciated.

If you have Platform SDK installed with samples, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Samples\NetDS\WinSock\Simple (or to folder where you have installed it). Two files - simplec.c and simples.c - are examples you would like to see.

Linker error while trying to use DirectDraw

16-May-02 2:13

Hi!
Can somebody tell me why the linker can't link the object files?
I'm writing (trying to write) a test application to use DirectX. I use a downloaded sample code to create it and it seems to work. When i compile it no error occours until the linker is executed. But then it says:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreate@12
Why could this happen Confused | :confused:

Even the unmodified sample doesn't work.
If anybody knows the answer please help me.

Thanks!

P.s.: The code is too long to place it here but if you need it please tell it to me and i'll send it to you.

It means you included a header for DirectDrawCreate, called the function, but did not link the appropriate .lib file into your project.

stat usbar and dialog bar ?

I have noticed a perculiar effect. I want to have a status bar and a dialog bar at the bottom of the screen. Now, it seems that my status bar is always above the dialog bar. On the top, the statusbar is always below the dialogbar. Anyway around this?

Also, if I want to have multiple dialogbars showing on one side (say bottom), the dialog bar that is created FIRST will always beat the very bottom, no matter what order lets say I call ShowWindow etc. Is there anyway around this?

Thanks in advance.

It's a resource dll, just make your own.

Traversing array

alex.barylski15-May-02 22:55

Sorry if my terminology is wrong. Smile | :)

Anyways...How would I iterate an array of the following structure:

struct ITEM{
  LPSTR Parent
  LPSTR Caption
  UINT Command
  ITEM Child 
}

I'm NOT looking for a C++ solution, but a generic psuedo-language answer would be GREAT!!!

I'm losing my mind trying to figure out how this would be done...if the array were simple it would be easy even if the number of levels were known it would be easier...a couple nested for loops would suffice. However...when each last field is a pointer to another just like it (but slightly different) that simple array transforms into something...I can't comprehend and it's driving me insane...

Anyone ever deal with such a data structure before...?

I thought this was a linked list or sort of anyways, but I can't just follow one elemnt to the next...I have to iterate each item in the array...

ie:

if there were 5 items, each had ZER0 children except the last which had 5 levels of 5 children each how would I loop through this kinda array and return all data...?

I'm playing with the idea of a windows menu data structure and my god...i'm lost...

Any ideas...?

Thanx! Smile | :)

Your main problem here is that you have a recursive definition. Creating an ITEM in turn creates another ITEM, which creates another ITEM etc.

It would be considerably wiser to redefine like this:

struct ITEM{  
  LPSTR Parent  
  LPSTR Caption  
  UINT Command  
  ITEM *Child 
}

This way, you create all the ITEM's you need and no more.

Anyway, a suitable way to look at all these it to recurse. Just like you would to walk a directory structure:-

void RecurseItems(ITEM *p_Item)
{
  cout << "Got an ITEM at %X" << (DWORD) p_Item << "\n";
  if (Child != NULL)
    RecurseItems(Child);
}

That'll do the job.
