Are you confused by the comma (a.k.a., sequential-evaluation) operator?

Shell_NotifyIcon sends which messages to the traybar, I'd like to hook it.

Those are messages/flags/actions that Shell_NotifyIcon() sends. You may not be able to intercept them as they probably don't map to any WM_* message.

What exactly are you wanting to do?

Hi ALL,
I have created a child process and I have handle of child process now.
After this I have called DuplicateHandle and got another copy of same handle.
Once this child process finishes execution, I have closing both the handles.Is there any problem?

None that I know of. Once CloseHandle() has closed the last handle to an object, the object is removed from the system.

checkbox treeview

I'm setting the check state in the treeview but after the treeview becomes visible for the 1st time, nothing is checked.

If I do the same operation after the treeview is visible, everything works fine.

How can I get the treeview to correctly display the checked states the first time around? I've even invalidated the treeview window, called UpdateWindow, and RedrawWindow with no success.

TIA

Hi all,

I have made a simple dialog based application, in which i have made a next button and on that button click i m showing a progress bar and then performing some different operations. Now what i want is that my progress bar should start running and as soon as i press next button and should stop as soon as task is fnished...But my problem is it finishes the task first and then shows the progressbar....how should i solve this

thanks in advance

IMHO the simplest way will be making the 'different operations' code responsible to update the bar progress.
You can also use threads but it may become a little harder.

The problem is that your "different operations" are bogging down the primary thread thus leaving no room to update the UI. Do your work in a secondary thread, and post "update" messages back to the primary thread (i.e., the one that owns the UI).

template function issue

Hello everyone,

In the following code, how GetArrayLength(arr1) is matched to template function size_t GetArrayLength(const T(&arr)[size])? My confusion is how arr1 is matched to const T(&arr)[size]? I have tried to change const T(&arr)[size] to const T(arr)[size]) but it does not work.

template<size_t size,="" typename="" t="">; 
size_t GetArrayLength(const T(&arr)[size])
{
	return size;
}

int main()
{
  char arr1[] = "Hello World";
  std::cout << GetArrayLength(arr1) << std::endl;

  return 0;
}
</size_t>

thanks in advance,
George

You're really pushing the boat out now George Smile | :)

. Template parameter type deduction is about as esoteric and controversial in term of the C++ standard as it gets, const T(arr)[size] will never work simply because 'you can't pass an array in C++' only the address of one. For how the actual matching works and what should and should not match in terms of const-ness you'll probably need to refer to one of Bjarne Stroustrup's books unless any of the C++ ANSI committee uber geeks happen to drop in to CP. You should note that with things this freeky you may well be introducing hidden Compiler dependencies as for example MS compilers don't necessarily follow the letter of the ANSI rules for this sort of thing, or at least not in the same way other people understand the letter of the ANSI rules.

Looks like I'll soon be asking you questions at this rate. Cool | :cool:

Hi Matthew,

Could you answer from your points, how they are matched please? Smile | :)

BTW: I have the C++ Programming Language book at hand, but from section 13.3 (Function Template), I can not find the answer to my specific question.

George

This in itself is a pretty good clue that what you're wanting to know is a)obscure and b)probably compiler dependent. I'm afarid I don't know enough about modern compilers, despite having written analogues of most of the parts, to even take a good guess at how template parameter matching happens. One thing is almost certain, there will be priority orders established in terms of parameter positions, and matching against type modifers. This sort of prioritization is often dived into categories like is there a strong match (exact type equivalence), if not is there a weak match (different only by type one modifier) and then there'll be a priority order, or classification, of type modifers to determine which weak matches are tried first.
Compilers are beastly complicated and facinating things. If you want to get a really good idea of how they work look for something known as The Dragon Book, it's the bible of compiler writers (I never made it more than half way through ) Smile | :)

inline means that the function is inlined (the compiler will replace a call to the function by the code of the function itself). Search for inline on google

The & means that the function returns a reference to the object instead of a copy of the object. By default, in C++ when you pass arguments to a function, you will in fact have a copy of the object, not the original object. The same with the return of the function: you will get a copy of the object. By using the reference, it means that you will get the original object, not a copy (so, if you modify it outside the class, it will be modified in the class also).

But I think your code is wrong: you forgot the class name (or is does it come from a header file ? If yes, the inline is not needed).

Hi Friends,

I am doing a UNICODE project,
Here i am using wchar_t * variable and i am taking name of the file from CString.GetBuffer().

Here i am getting the Confused | :confused:

error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'unsigned short *'

Please help me. Its urgent....

First, never ever use GetBuffer without having read the documentation. CString has casting operator so that you don't have to use GetBuffer. You should only use this function if you want access to the internal buffer of the CString. Read the doc carefully if you don't want nasty surprises in your code.

You should prefer the use of TCHAR instead of char or wchar. This way, everything is either char or wchar depending on the UNICODE settings and you don't have to worry about conversions.

Now, maybe you'll still need a conversion: what are you doing with this wchar string ?
