About several weeks I tried to learn MFC,but unfortunately failed to do so.
At first I was confident ,but then I got frustrated 、confused and didn't know what to do.
I think I've known C++ well,and know something about computer organization and operating
system .But I just could copy the same codes as described in the books,even cannot change a bit.
I didn't know exactly what the code means,and could nou find the ways.Is it googbye to the MFC world? I wonder....
Hope for help.

If you can not write your code so you are faint on MFC and need to more work of course codeproject has articles about MFC and its controls but I suggest see codes that has beginner on their titles, do you know c++ very well for example Object Oriented Programming (inheritance,Polymorphism) and Type Casting,Preprocessor directives, Input/Output,Arrays,Pointers Dynamic Memory and other things,but I didnt understand you cant change codes on books?

Take a look at "Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 days" Its great, for the total beginners, and for slightly experienced. It did help me with some stuff too...

If you really want to learn MFC, then you really need to understand
Windows programming.
Start with the basics. Get the book "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold
or an equivalent. Make sure you understand Windows Messaging, the basics of
Win32 APIs, etc.
MFC will make a lot more sense if you understand what's going on.
Just my opinion,

One thing I made when I started with MFC was, after reading some online manuals and articles of codeproject, started a MFC-Win32 application with the wizard of VC++ 6.0. Then, just with the 5 classes created (CMyApp, CMyDoc, CMyView, CMainFrm, CChildFrm), I used the class wizard to call almost all messages in every class. Just putting an AfxMessageBox ("(Funct Nr XX) The function XXXX is being called") and just played with the windows up and down, clicking, opening docs, closing docs, destroying windows, resizing... all what I could do with empty code.
Afterwards, when I more or less knew the order in which functions are called. I put some break points here and there. When the debug stays in a break point, you get a step towards with F10, but if you use F11, the step is towards (but going INTO the called code). I mean.
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance ( )
{
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
return FALSE;
pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow | SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();
}
When compile, it stops at the if. If you use F10, it will go to pMainFrame->ShowWindow (...); (next line in the same layer). But if you use F11 insteads, then you will go to the next step in a deeper layer:
BOOL CWinApp::ProcessShellCommand(CCommandLineInfo& rCmdInfo)
{
BOOL bResult = TRUE;
switch (rCmdInfo.m_nShellCommand)
{
case CCommandLineInfo::FileNew:
if (!AfxGetApp()->OnCmdMsg(ID_FILE_NEW, 0, NULL, NULL))
OnFileNew();
if (m_pMainWnd == NULL)
bResult = FALSE;
break;
}
That is part of the hidden code that you don't usually see.
Maybe this is not the best way to learn it correctly, but for me was ok to have a global idea (seeing more or less how the functions are distributed and reading the comments from Microsoft in the code). And after I went deeper in contents as I needed new things.
Greetings.

You're throwing in the towel only after a couple of weeks of learning MFC? Amazing! I've still not got it all figured after 15 years. Maybe I'm just stubborn.

I have a question in regards to, if there is a built in function in mfc
i can overload that gets called when a dialog is brought back to focus
after a DoModal() operation. I end the modal dialog with OnOK().
the OnPaint() starts to paint again when its brought back to focus,
but is there is a cleaner way to check for this event?
Thanks
|

I'm not sure what you're asking...
As soon as DoModal() returns, the modal dialog
has been dismissed. While the modal dialog was displayed,
other windows should still get WM_PAINT messages.
If you've halted painting before calling DoModal(), then just
start painting again when DoModal() returns.

The initial dialog does not paint when there is
a modal dialog in focus, because i run the app in full screen.
But if there are no functions that i can use that deals
with "OnFocus", WM_PAINT works, i just need to be carefull with it.
Thanks

You could use the WM_ACTIVATE[^] message. Use a handler which looks something like this:
void CDialogAppDlg::OnActivate(UINT nState, CWnd* pWndOther, BOOL bMinimized)
{
CDialog::OnActivate(nState, pWndOther, bMinimized);
if (nState==WA_ACTIVE || nState==WA_CLICKACTIVE)
{
}
}

Hello everyone,
I think in built-in C/C++ functions, there is no direct function call to trim heading and trailing space characters, right? So, we have to implement it manually by iterating the string to check character one by one.
Support not using MFC.
thanks in advance,
George

Hi Christian,
It is implemented by find_first_not_of and find_last_not_of of STL string,
no built-in functions.

George

G'day George,
dBaseIII had a popular function for this purpose, alltrim. In the mid nineties i needed that function in C and wrote the following implementation, plain C code.
<br />
char *alltrim( char *t)<br />
{<br />
unsigned char *t_, *tc_;<br />
int i=0, l;<br />
<br />
l = strlen(t);<br />
tc_ = (unsigned char*) t;<br />
<br />
<br />
while (*(tc_+i) <= ' ' && i < l)<br />
i++;<br />
<br />
if (i==l) <br />
{<br />
*t = (char) 0; <br />
return t;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
t_ = ( unsigned char* ) (t+i); <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
i=l-1;<br />
while (*(tc_+i) <= ' ')<br />
i--;<br />
i++; <br />
*(t+i) = ( char ) 0; <br />
l = strlen((char*) t_) + 1; <br />
memmove(t, t_, l); <br />
return t;<br />
}<br />
Unfortunatedly the preview of the code looks awfull, like it has been handled by alltrim itself.
Regards,
Henk

Thanks Henk,
I think you mean there is no built-in function.

I have written a CString Object into Text file by using :
f.Write (&FileName,FileName.GetLength());//FileName is CString Object
Now I want to Read CString object back How this could be done?I am using code :
LPTSTR p = CurrentLanguageName.GetBuffer(11);
void *g=(void *)p;
f.Read (g,CurrentLanguageFileLen);
CurrentLanguageName.ReleaseBuffer( );
//But this method don't work.
Regards,
priyank

you better use CStdioFile class which is derived from CFile.
It has a ReadString and a WriteString method.
|
|
|
|

Try the following to write:
CString StringToWrite;
StringToWrite="ABC";//e.g.
f.Write (StringToWrite.GetBuffer(20),StringToWrite.GetLength()+1);
Try the following to read:
CString str;
char B;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
f.Read(&B,sizeof(B));
str+=B;
if(B=='\0')break;
}
Not the best way to do it, but if it work U R OK!

Why are you unnecessarily calling GetBuffer()?

You might want to check the contents of the file you are writing to, as you are writing the address of the CString object to the file.

Why are you bothering with a void pointer?

If you write:
f.Write (&FileName,FileName.GetLength());
you are about to write the whole object into the file
(including private variables etc...) and that is generally
BAD.
In fact the correct code for that would be:
f.Write (&FileName,sizeof(FileName));
since the previous code would probably crash your app
if the string buffer (allocated on the heap) is longer
than the size of the object.
===============================================
A little correction:
Try the following to read:
CString str;
char B;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
f.Read(&B,sizeof(B));
if(B=='\0')break; // Before "str+=B;" to avoid adding two '\0' at the end.
str+=B;
}

Wrong. This would still write the address of FileName to the file. Why is it so hard to code something like:
f.Write(FileName, FileName.GetLength());
