how to switch the input focus from a console window back to the application window

What do you mean ? I don't understand your question here. Do you have two separate apps (one a console application and the other a windows application) and inside the console application, you want to set the focus to the other application (that is the window app) ?
If yes, you will need to get the handle with FindWindow function.

No i only have one MFC application.
In the my application i have a DLL statically loaded from which i call a function to invoke a debugging console window.
My application communicates to this console window via tcp.
The console acts is the server and my application acts a client.
Now i want to be able to switch to my main application window where i can pressed a key and send a corresponding debug command to the console window.
But atm as soon as i invoke the console window and establish a server-client connection i can't switch back to the my app window.
The console seems to be waiting to receive some data from my application.
I need to switch to the application so that i can press a key for the client to send a debug command to the console.

Hi!
I use VC++.NET 2003.

I want to compress following text string.

I store following text in std::string.
std::string
a="2B3A2BF0BCD8773D23BEE5550A56E86AF6CF64911214862625027CE7032451282E33F0BFB09D69091D39B1A1788E1A707E50A1948038500CF2044163F379912AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7AD8B59848C7670C94B29B54D2379E2E7A";

I need to compress above string before transferring it from my server.

How do I compress above string into a compressed string (for example,
std::string b;).

Any help will be appreciated

Automating Power Point into my MFC Dialogue ?

Hi
I want to automate powerpoint presentation into my MFC Dilogue based application. Let me clear it that I don't want whole Power Point but I want to show presentation files directly into my dialogue. Before this also I have requested help here but didn't get satisfactory answer....

Yes I got one or two code which shows how to load power point from my dialogue based application, but it loads power point as seperate application which normally starts when we start it from Start-> Programm -> Microsoft Power Point. Instead i want to show whole power point into my own dialogue of MFC application.

Any example, likn, idea ....

Thanking you guys...

Hi there, I am using Visual C++ ( 2003 IDE ) and I need to have 2 classes which points to each other. ( The need to be able to call Functions on each other !!!!!

In the .h files of the mb file, add

class ma;
at the begining of the file.

Then in the .cpp file, include the header of this file.

Fehma1-Sep-05 22:34

I alread did that !!

class B;
class A
{
call something on B --- Wont Work
}

class B
{
Call something on A --- Works
}

Cedric Moonen1-Sep-05 22:50

You mean everything is in one single file ?? All the functions and everything are in the header file ?
It is better to separate the implementations of the class functions in the .cpp file. If you put that in the header file, when you call something from B in the class A, the compiler only knows that the class exists, but it doesn't know what are the members of the class B. So, put all the definitions of the functions (from classA and class B) in a separate .cpp file. And this is much cleaner that having everything in the same file.

Fehma1-Sep-05 23:08

First of all Thank you very mich Cedric for the quick response....

I already had them in seperate .h and .cpp files but the error in Visual studio was the same....
It seems that Visual Studio is having a problem when I call mb from ma ( *p == p->Foo() ) than the Compile is telling me that I don't have a valid type ???

Thanks
Marcus

Cedric Moonen1-Sep-05 23:20

Ok, so if you have forward declaration and all the function defined in a separate .cpp file, this should work (make sure that the header file of class B is included in the .cpp file of class A and the same for class B).

Now, I think this is not due to that fact but probably a syntax error or something like that. It would be really usefull if you post the exact error message (with the error line and everything) and if you could post also the line which gave this error.

This looks strange to me...

Thanks I will try it...... Wink | ;-)

With

<*p == p->Foo() > I meant

p->Foo() // Pointer to Object B calls a Function "Foo" on the Object....

Yes, that part I understood but why do you compare the result with the object itself ??
*p

Maybe the problem is there: the compiler cannot convert from the return type (probably an int) to the class B...

Fehma2-Sep-05 0:06

Hey,

sorry that ( *p == ) didn't mean anything !!! he he he
I just had forget to delete it...... Typed to much I guess....

Thousand thanx......

I will try it now with the CPP Files and the correct use of include....

A.ccp will include B.h
and
B.cpp will include A.h

right ??
