Change your "Messages since" option appropriately. I think there was a server reset or something, because for me, it went back to "Last month's posts" for all the forums.

what is private & static function in MFC.
how it can be used in Visual C++.

what i need to do if i want to used the same filename in every block of programming like:
CMyPsmDlg::OnButtonBrowse()
{
//i get a filename using GetFileName()
}

CMyPsmDlg::OnButtonEncrypt()
{
//i want to use the same filename in above blok of function

}

private and static are C++ concepts, and nothing to do with MFC per se. You need to get a good C++ book and figure out some of this basic stuff before working with MFC. The following URL is a good place to begin : http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/[^]

whenever Nish is right saying you should learn C++ first, i'll give it a go, so that every one can share.

as you certainly know, private members can be used from within the class only. private data members can be used only by member functions of the class, and private member functions can be called only by other member functions of the same class.

static only means that the function don't get the implicit this pointer parameter which is caracteristic of the non-static member functions. a static member function can only access static data members so, because they are not proper to an object but shared commonly by all the instances of the class. this have nothing to do with the scope, and nothing forbids a private member function to be static.

it will be able to be called only by member functions (as it is private), and will access only static data members (because of its static state).

don't make the confusion anyway, MFC is not a specific language. everything done inside MFC is pure C++. MFC simply provides some classes and functionnalities to ease Windows programming.

hope this helps...

In the header file for your dialog class, declare a member variable of type CString to save the filename:

// MyPsmDlg.h:
class CMyPsmDlg : public CDialog {
//...
  CString FileName;
};
// MyPsmDlg.cpp:
void CMyPsmDlg::OnButtonBrowse()
{
  FileName = GetFileName();
}

void CMyPsmDlg::OnButtonEncrypt()
{
  // use FileName
}

what made you compare private and static functions?
private , protected and public are access specifiers. and on the other hand when a function is said static , it is STATIC, in the sense, its not intialized a new when New objects are created. but no matter it is private, public or protected, a new instance of those functions are created for the Object. static functions remain same no matter who calls it. it's acessed by :: instead of a . or ->

formatted file io

ronwurster7-Mar-06 5:04

I'm writing and reading formatted io to a file using fopen, fscanf, fseek and fprintf. Even though I'm fprintf'ing the same formatted floats and int's each time to line #1, the varying size of the numbers makes it difficult to position the file pointer at the beginning of the next line, line #2. I'm using only the first 2 lines in the file, the line #1 for status that I write and line #2 for requests that I read and overwrite depending on the data.

My general question is:

How can I reliably position the file pointer at the beginning of the second line for reading (and writing) regardless of the varying length of the first status line.

What does the fprintf() statement look like?

Read the first line, and then the file pointer will be positioned at the beginning of the second line.

I would like to explain that I haven't used formatted file io much with C. Hence my ignorance about the different methods for doing this sort of thing.

I've changed the printf to use explicit formatting characters which allow me to maintain a fixed length line. So, I can now predictably "fseek" the position of the 2nd line. My fprintf line now looks like:

fprintf (stream,"%8.3f %8.3f %c %c %8.3f 4d", floatvar1, floatvar2,
charvar1, charvar2, intvar1);

However, I tried reading the first line (using fscanf) and the pointer was NOT positioned at the beginning of the second line. In fact it was not on the 2nd line at all. Did you mean I should use "fread"? Can you explain please.

Thanks for your help

char szLine[128];
fscanf(pFile, "%[^\n]\n", szLine);

You can also use fgets().

which pad.exe do u use to submit software?

Dumb ideea..but here goes:
for getting the second line start position
1. do a fseek to SEEK_SET
2.do a read the entire first line (fgets )
you are now at the end of first line->beginning of the first.

I don't know if this will work for you (it gets you to the seccond line but i don't know it it is suitable for your code).

Another ideea is to use predefined spaces for your numbers: fprintf(file,"%7d",24)uses 7 spaces(don't know if spaces is the appropiate word) to print the number 24 and alings it to the right. So, if you know how many numbers you have on the first line and you use enough spaces so they don't overflow...you will know the length of the first line which enables you to reposition to the begining of the second line.

Don't know if this helps (sorry for my english...it is not what i hoped it to be Sniff | :^)
