read them all one a time, store them somewhere.

write them one at a time, write your new line wherever you want it to go.

For MFC, look for CStdioFile::ReadString(). Otherwise, you can use STL, fopen()/gets(), CreateFile()/ReadFile(). Take your pick.

This is my code:

FILE *pFile;
MessageBox(0, thefile, "Erro", 0);
pFile = fopen(thefile, "r");
if(pFile != NULL)
{
while(!EOF)
{
fgets(linha, 100, pFile);
printf("%s", linha);
}
}
else
{
MessageBox(0,"File cound not be opened", "Error", 0);
}
fclose(pFile);

I think that my code is correct but the file doesn't open, what's wrong?

If thefile does not specify an absolute path, fopen() will only work if the file is in the same folder as the program itself.

this is the part where I call my function

AbrirArquivo("c:\file.txt");
return 0;
}

the error persists, what's going on?

You need to use two backslahes. As it stands, fopen() tried to open a file named c:ile.txt.

void AbrirArquivo(const char* theFile)
{
FILE *pFile;
char linha[100];
pFile = fopen(theFile, "r");
if(pFile != NULL)

while(!feof(pFile))
{
fgets(linha, strlen(linha), pFile);
printf("%s", linha);
}
fclose(pFile);
}
else
{
MessageBox(0,"file not found", "Error", 0);
}

}

int main()
{
AbrirArquivo("c:\\file.txt");
return 0;
}

Thanks for help.

Client/server .... please HELP

Hi all

Article "A light-weighted client/server socket class in C++" explains how to make a client/server application, but i am a beginner and want to know if there are tutorials out there that are simple to use and that explains, step by step, how to create the server application and the client application.
The apps should use sockets and be as simple as possible (basically just be able to wait for a request (server) and then send an acknowledgement to the client (just a basic text message). it should really only illustrate the basic phases: 1) idle(server waiting for a connection), (2)connection establishment, (3)data transfer, (4)termination.

I know that you need the ip address as well as well as a port for communication - but that is basically all i know

if there is anyone who can help by writing a basic program (or tutorial), or even refering me to websites (one for beginners, as all the websites i find are a bit advanced and confusing for the novice C++ network programmer), I would most certainly appreciate it.

thank you.

I used to code more when i was in a programing class in college, recently i have started to try again. Problem is every time i write code i get the "Fatal Error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for pre-compiled header directive" (I'm using visual studio.net) I know the code is supposed to work, i copy and pasted it off a website tutorial, and to even check I went to /another/ tutorial and tried their version, also same issue. Is something wrong with my library? What can i do to fix this?

-Thanks a lot

Dialog Controls

I am interested in getting a static text control to change when a user of a particulat status logs into my app.
So currently say the text is "Hello Operator", i would like that to change if a Technician logs in to say "Hello Tech". Not sure which function in the static text control will do this for me.

Also, i would like to hide a check box control if a different type of user logs in. I am not sure which function accomplishes hiding the control dynamically.

Thanks,

I think you've got to create a member variable for that control, and then do something like m_var.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE). I haven't done that for a while, though, so I could be wrong.

Create a member variable for the static text control. There can be two kinds, either use CString, or CStatic. The function to change the CString variable is simple. For example, say your member variable is CString m_var.

Then,

m_var = "Hello Tech";
UpdateData(FALSE);

The UpdateData() function takes the new setting of m_var and makes it display on the dialog. If you used UpdateData(TRUE) it would take the text from the dialog and update the variable. (Note: UpdateData() updates all the variables on your dialog.)

For a CStatic variable, I think you use, SetWindowText(). So...

m_var.SetWindowText("Hello Tech");

Hope this helps!

I am using a static and have pretty much what you suggested but the text does not change. The properties of the static control have text. Upon initializing the app, i check to see if the user type logged in is different from the text already there. If it is, i set the text like above. Is there a property that i have to chnage as well on this static control?

You created a member variable of type CStatic for the static text control? And when are you doing this initialization? I just ran a quick test myself, changing the text of a static text control with SetWindowText(). I placed it in OnInitDialog(). This worked fine for me.

Change the ID of the control from IDC_STATIC to IDC_STATIC1 then you can create a member variable (e.g. m_st1) and carry out operations such as m_st1.SetWindowText("Hello Tech");.
IDC_STATIC is a special case and all the statics you place on a dialogue will use this so you cannot access the control via that ID.

Hi
I wish for my user to be able to insert some text into a textbox, by the use of a button

for example, i have a text box, next to it is a button, saying "Insert Name", once
this button is clicked it will update a name into the text box, where the current
cursor position is

Anyone know the best place to start

cheers

thanks, but that just replaces the text what is already there

what i need is

if my textbox contianed the following

"hello this is a test message"

if the user clicked into the textbox, and the cursor was then placed before "test message"

then clicked insert name, the text should read

"hello this is a Fred bloggs test message";

See my post from a little earlier. You need to use GetWindowText() to get the original text, put it in a CString, then use Insert() to insert the string you'd like. Then you use SetWindowText()

Is the text box an edit box? If so, you need to create a member variable for it. You have two choices, CString or CEdit. If it's a CString (e.g m_var) then,

CMyDialog::OnButton(){
UpdateData(TRUE);
int n = m_var.Insert(0, "Name to be inserted");
ASSERT(n == m_var.GetLength());
UpdateData(FALSE);
}

So that when the button is pressed, the program gets the current text in the edit box, you insert the substring at the index indicated by the first argument to Insert() (in this example 0). UpdateData(FALSE) updates the dialog with the new text.

If you use CEdit, you can do something like,

CString temp;
m_var.GetWindowText(temp);
temp.Insert(0, "Name to be inserted");
m_var.SetWindowText(temp);

And this should display the new text with the name inserted.
