A template method defines the program skeleton of an algorithm. The algorithm itself is made abstract, and the subclasses override the abstract methods to provide concrete behavior.

First a class is created that provides the basic steps of an algorithm design. These steps are implemented using abstract methods. Later on, subclasses change the abstract methods to implement real actions. Thus the general algorithm is saved in one place but the concrete steps may be changed by the subclasses.

"Subclasses" do they mean a derived class?
If it's private(in context with the OPs question), how the derived class can make use of it. (Forget friends!)

Hi _8086,

I think Subclasses means derived class.

Thanks Nemanja,

I have studied the link. Great!

Two more comments,

1.

What do you mean "even if they are not meant to be called ouside of the class"? Could you provide more description or provide sample code please?

2.

they can be private

What do you mean "they"? What methods do "they" cover in the sample code of class Game?

regards,
George

Why do we need to fine a virtual function as private?

The classic answer, because you don't want to expose everything to the world? Smile | :)

See this example:

class base
{
public:
	void Interface()
	{
                ///some code...
                //if( some expression is true)
		   Implementation();
                //else
                   //return;
                //some code...
	}
private:
	virtual void Implementation(void)
	{
		cout<<"Haha lol I am private - Base"<<endl;
	}
};

class der:public base
{
	void Implementation(void)
	{
		cout<<"I am private too - Derived"<<endl;
	}
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	base bs;
	bs.Interface();
	//bs.Implementation(); //No way!

	der dr;
	dr.Interface();
	//dr.Implementation(); //No way, again! (Unless you keep it public)

	return 0;	
}

As special functions we can achieve and any special limitaitons?

Here, the virtual functions are visible down through the hierarchy to the child classes, but only the base would actually get to access it!

Please see this[^] and this one[^] too. Smile | :)

Thanks Rajesh,

So, the guideline should be, making virtual function private, and if we need to call virtual function from base class in derived class, then making virtual function protected? Right?

George

hi everyone,

good afternoon to all.i am writing one OCX file.in that file i am doing read and write functions. and in another project i am using that OCX.When i am passing parameters to that function then that time values taking as null.in runtime when i given some values to that parameters that time also they are takingas null only.in VC++ how can i pass the parameters by refence please Tell me i am in tension.please.
in OCX file write function is

WriteBlk(LPCTSTR MemId, LPCTSTR MemName, LPCTSTR eDate, LPCTSTR Balance, LPCTSTR TagId);<br />
and in my main project write block is like this:<br />
writeBlk(m_Memid,m_Memname,m_eDate,m_cBalance,m_Tadid);

these variables are of type CString

Thanku in advance,
savitri. Confused | :confused:

thanku for helping me.but by using like this i am getting error like this:
error C2664: 'WriteBlk' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'class CString *' to 'const char *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
Error executing cl.exe.

Please tell me how shall i pass the parameters.
Thanku in advance,

use (const char*) CString. or
char temp[256];
CString cs;
cs.getBuffer(temp,cs.getLength());
cs.ReleaseBuffer();

Now pass the temp.

Yes

_8086 wrote:

CString cs;

Now pass the temp.

No. The temp variable returned by GetBuffer is only guaranteed to be valid up until the time that ReleaseBuffer is called. It is designed to be used when modifying the value of the CString, not for just passing a const pointer.

So why can't you just show us what you tried? Are we supposed to guess how you're writing code?

Also, consider using ShellExecute[^].

use CreateProcess or ShellExecute, Does your exe normally runs when you execute it not programmatically.

Its better to avoid doing the above task in urgent. Otherwise since it is context sensitive help you end up with incorrect context.

If you are not in urgent give a precise subject and modify the message following guidelines[^] to get an answer

Hi all,

I want to convert CString to WCHAR;

i have done this:-

WCHAR wsz[MAX_PATH];
CString szLinkName = _T("Test Mail");
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, (LPCSTR)(LPCTSTR)szLinkName, -1, 
                    wsz, MAX_PATH);

but i only get "T" in wsz i.e first element....

I am working in VC2005

Can anybody help me in this...
