How can I add a carriage return at the end of a CString?

CString s; // Blah blah blah...
s += _T("\n");
// Or sometimes it is necessary to do it as follows:
s += _T("\r\n");

It depends on what the string will be written to. If it's a text file, use \r\n uness you're going to be using the C I/O functions, in which case use \n and let the CRT change it to \r\n on its own. For multi-line text boxes, use \r\n.
\n\r is never right. Wink | ;)

Can Any one please tell me how can I compile and see the result(on the screen) of the following program using VisualStudio?

include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int i=3;
int*j;
j = &i;

printf("The value of i=%d",*j);

}

Though I personally use streams (cout) for my programs at school, and I am not familiar with the printf() function, If you are using VC++.Net, I think you actually have to put a system("pause"); at the end of your program or it will not remain open long enough for you to see anything... other than that, you'll have to wait for someone else to answer. I hope it helps!

Template function problem

Eikthrynir2-Mar-06 11:56

Hi! I have a template function problem.
This is what I tried to do:

First, I created a .lib file called writeValue.lib, using this source code:

/* ********************************* */<br />
#include <iostream><br />
<br />
template <class T><br />
void __cdecl writeValue( T value )<br />
{<br />
  std::cout << value << flush;<br />
}<br />
/* ********************************* */

Then, I tried to build a Win32 Console Project, in which I put a single file called main.cpp, containing the following lines:

/* ********************************* */<br />
template <class T><br />
extern void __cdecl writeValue( T value );<br />
<br />
// Link writeValue.lib created above<br />
#pragma comment( lib, "writeValue" )<br />
<br />
int main( void )<br />
{<br />
  writeValue <int> ( 10 );<br />
<br />
  return 0;<br />
}<br />
/* ********************************* */

It compiles, so I get a main.obj, it links writeValue.lib, but I get a link error when I try to use the writeValue( ) function with an integer parameter:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl writeValue<int>(int)" (??$writeValue@H@@YAXH@Z) referenced in function _main

- even though the writeValue( ) function is defined (as a template) in the writeValue.lib file.

All was done in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003.
Can anyone help me with this, please? Thank you!

Template function and classes are created during compile time and instantiation. Thus, your "writeValue" function will not have a definition in your "dll".

You will need to put your template function in a header file. Or, read the following article which involves forcing instantiation: http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/MemberTemplateDLL.asp[^]

Also, this looks promising: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/by56e477(en-US,VS.80).aspx[^]

Handling a double click

I want to invoke a certain method when a edit control is double clicked, but i cant seem to find any info on the event handling that i need to do. Any help would be appriacated, thank you.

I would instruct you to use ClassWizard, but that does not exist beyond VS v6. I think it has been "replaced" with a properties-type of thing. In any case, You'll need a ON_BN_CLICKED() entry in the dialog's BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP() method. Don't forget to implement the handler function.

I tried that. It complies fine, but when its running i tried it out, and it never reachs my method that i attached to it through the ON_BN_CLICKED() method... As of now im just grabbing the cursor on any double click, and having to compare to where my edit controls are, but this seems way to complex for something that i feel should an easier way..

loop processing

I have a dialog with several controls in it for several miscellaneous functions. Among them, I created a pushbutton control (function) which, when entered, loops forever processing the following:
opens a file, processes file data, closes the file, sleeps to
allow file access and repeats within the loop.

Once I select the pushbutton to do this, it locks me out from any of the other controls. How can I suspend (etc.) the loop to allow me to tell if another control has been selected and, if so, leave this loop to process the selected control.

Thanks, Ron

You need to put this code in a worker thread.

getline from file

Peter Charlesworth2-Mar-06 9:34

hi everyone!

I have a question regarding input and output with files (standard C/C++).
Whenever I use the 'getline' function to get a line from a file and then ask the
program to display that line, it always displays more than a line.
In other words: it doesn't stop 'getting the line' whenever it encounters a
newline.
How can I make sure he reads only one line and no more?
And how can I tell the program to get a specific line, like line n° 34
or the line that follows the words 'myline:' or whatever?

Thanks in advance!

Peter

The program that's supposed to get one line but gets more then that is this one:

<br />
#include <iostream><br />
#include <fstream><br />
#include <string><br />
using namespace std;<br />
<br />
int main () {<br />
  string line;                      // declare a string named 'line'<br />
  ifstream myfile ("example.txt");<br />
  if (myfile.is_open())             // if the file is open, then...<br />
  {<br />
    while (! myfile.eof() )         // while the end of the file is NOT reached...<br />
    {<br />
      getline (myfile,line);        // get a line from the file and put it in the string 'line'<br />
      cout << line << endl;         // output the contents of 'line' to the screen<br />
    }<br />
    myfile.close();                 // close the file   <br />
  }<br />
<br />
  else cout << "Unable to open file";    // if the file can't be opened, display "Unable to open file<br />
<br />
  return 0;                         // close the program<br />
}<br />
<br />

What do you mean? I tried your code verbatim and it worked fine.

Peter Charlesworth wrote:

It did for me. What was printed to the console window looked exactly like the contents of the file.

Re: getline from file

Well, what I'm trying to accomplish is this:

Suppose a file named "example.txt" has this as content:

<br />
This is line one.<br />
This is the second line.<br />
As you can guess, this is the third line.<br />

And i run the program i mentioned above, then it would output this:

<br />
This is line one.<br />
This is the second line.<br />
As you can guess, this is the third line.<br />

But it's supposed to output this:

<br />
This is line one.<br />

Getline... Get one line and then execute the next piece of code, but instead
it gets the contents of the entire file.

I use Borland C++ 5.5 as my compiler, maybe that my problem is a problem just with my
compiler.

Anyway, thank for responding!

Peter

So get rid of the while() loop and see what happens. If what you say is true, then a single call to getline()/cout will display the entire file.
