To debug it, break those return lines down into smaller parts. Having a 3 line long return statement is bad form anyway.

RK1 is a member function of the class AngVel1. You need to either declare it as static and call it via AngVel1::RK1() or create an object of type AngVel1 and call it using the dot notation:

AngVel1 angvel;
angvel.RK1();

Thanks but I still get the same error plus this one ('RK1' : function does not take 0 parameters).

How can I declared it as static and making the call.

Regards,
Olagoke.

skg

I didn't add the parameters (just used ()'s to indicate a function call).

You need to read an intro to C++ book since these questions show that you are a beginner (not bashing you, just letting you know that you will save yourself some time in the long run).

To declare something as static, you add <cdoe>static to its declaration.

static void func();

Max is right - you have a stray semicolon after #define h. This causes this

k1 = h*fn1(y);

to expand to

k1 = (double) 0.01;
*fn1(y);

Newline inserted for clarity

Because of the relative precedence of the unary * and function call operators, this calls fn1 then tries to dereference the result. Because the return type of fn1 is double, which is not a pointer type, you get the error because you cannot dereference a double.

I'd also be wary of the precedence surrounding the cast operator. I'd put the macro definitions within extra parentheses, e.g.

#define n ((int) 2)

//operator ObjKey::ObjValueProxy::ObjValue() const
//{
//   return QueryValue();
//}

Memory leak...

ObjValue* v = new ObjValue;
return *v;

right... i haven't paid attention to the memory leak since it was created to reproduce the problem in my real project...

i know it would compile in the way you proposed, but i prefer putting them outside in a separate .cpp file. and! reason has actually been found out! The correct form should be

ObjKey::ObjValueProxy::operator ObjValue() const

instead of

operator ObjKey::ObjValueProxy::ObjValue() const

Thanks anyway!

Cool!

I am porting an application from Win2000 to WINXP using visual studio 2005 standard edition. I am calling the network functions: WNetCancelConnection2 and WNetAddConnection2. I have attached a code snippet. The drive maps and unmaps correctly. No errors are returned when the functions are called. However, if I remap a drive with the same letter to a different server, the windows explorer label is not updated. It displays the old server name. If I click on properties, it shows the correct server. This works correctly in Win2000. I am mapping to unix servers running PC Net Link or SAMBA. Anyone seen this issue. Any suggestions on what to do.

----------------------------------------
Code snippet:
CMapDialog dlg;

if( dlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
{
CWaitCursor cWaitCursor;
DWORD dwStatus= WNetCancelConnection2(strDriveLetter, CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE, TRUE);

m_strCurrentMapping = _T("Unmapped");

if( dlg.GetMap() )
{
CString strShare(dlg.GetShareName());
NETRESOURCE nr;

nr.dwType = RESOURCETYPE_ANY;
nr.lpLocalName = strDriveLetter;
nr.lpRemoteName = strShare.GetBuffer(256);
nr.lpProvider = NULL;

if( (dwStatus = WNetAddConnection2(&nr, NULL, NULL, CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE)) == NO_ERROR )
{
strErrorText.Format(IDS_MAP_OK, strDriveLetter, strShare);
OutputToEvents(strErrorText, INFO);
}
else
{
strErrorText.Format(IDS_MAP_ERROR, strDriveLetter, GetLastError(), GetLastErrorText());
OutputToEvents(strErrorText, FATAL);
}

m_strCurrentMapping = GetMapString();
}

UpdateMapString();
}
}
}

What happens if you try and access that server? Does WE try the older server or the new one?

It accesses the new server, however the old server name is being displayed which is wrong since it is pointing to the new server.

I have subclassed a few controls (the win32 method not MFC) and am now trying to prevent flickering while the control is being moved around the main window. Basically, all I want to do is prevent the control from painting itself while the main window is being resized. I am able to trap the WM_MOVE message, but unable to trap the WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE or WM_EXITSIZEMOVE messages. I'm guessing these are only sent to the top level window. Can anybody suggest an alternative to determining when a control starts moving and ends moving?

It sounds like the entire client area of the background window is being repainted every time
a WM_PAINT occurs.
In the window's WM_PAINT handler if you are not using BeginPaint() you can make a clipping
region to only draw the newly exposed part of the window using GetUpdateRect (make sure you
validate the rect with ValidateRect() so you don't get repeated WM_PAINT messages for the same
rect).

Or maybe it's happening in a WM_ERASEBKGND handler in the window or control Smile | :)

Both the main window and the control have a bitmap skin applied to them. For the main window, each time it is resized I must rebuild the bitmap used for the skin and repaint it to the window. This is naturaly done in the WM_ERASEBKGND handler.

I will have a play with the clipping region and see if I can better the performance a little.

A simple hack I came up with is to draw the child controls image to the main windows image. The flickering is still there, but cannot be seen.

Does using the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style on the main window help at all?

OK?

What specifically did you want to know?

I got that much from your initial post. What you are asking, however, is very broad. It can't be answered in a simple post.

Do you need to add Access' type library to your project?
