Yeah I have tried that before and it doesn't work. SO what I do is add a control variable. Then to get double value I do this.
char buffer[100];
editControl.GetWindowText(buffer, 100);
double d = atof(buffer);

That works, but I am trying to avoid the old atof function.
The test code was not using the OK button. Someone told me to call
BOOL status = UpdateData( True );
and that made the data availble in tha variable. That way I can set the variable to be a double and windows makes the conversion for me.
Thanks for your time

RE: Would you rather use sprintf()?
That's the wrong direction. I want to convert from string to a binary value. (A double or float right now, but I also use integers.) The conversion function should flag a malformed input in some fashion other than returning a valid value. (Such as returning 0.0 to a double)
Since edit boxes return strings rather than numbers, I am at a loss as to why there seems to be no standard function to do this.
Thanks for your time

How so? It converts from a string to a double and reports any errors if necessary.

The computer sees all numbers as base-2. So this "conversion" makes no sense.

A google search returned this site:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/sprintf.html[^]
Which says, in part:
Write formatted data to string
Writes into the array pointed by str a C string consisting on a sequence of data formatted as the format argument specifies.
To my knowledge, sprintf converts various inputs to string format, and never the other way around. If you use sprintf to convert from string to double, please show me how.
Regarding my use of binary number, we refer to "1.2" when printed on paper as a number, and in a string as a number, as well as in binary format as a number. When I say a binary value I refer to an int, float, etc rather than formated as digits in a string. That's probably not a good method, but I am open to suggestions.
Thanks for your time

I meant to suggest sscanf(). Sorry about that.

The value is only used/set when UpdateData() is called, this happens when the dialog box is initially shown and when the user clicks OK. Typical usage if the variable is called m_myDouble
double myValue = 23.2;
CMyDialog dlg;
dlg.m_myDouble = myValue;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
myValue = dlg.m_myDouble;
}
This should have the edit box preloaded with 23.2 and when the user clicks on OK then dlg.m_myDouble should be set to whatever vale was entered

You are typing the values in the edit box, but are you sendind the values to the variable?
I know UpdateData should be avoid, but try it. And if it works, try to use another way to get the data.
I saw the other answers after giving mine, so it is useless.
Regards.

I followed the link and read about UpdateData. I don't have sufficient knowledge/experience to understand it all, but my application does not have much concern for preserving the initial values.
I use a value variable and UpdateData makes the values available. The value variable associated with the edit dialog returns the binary numeric value for the number. It still has a flaw. If I type in 1.2r6 instead of 1.2e6, it stops converting at the r and gives me 1.2 with no error. For now, I will continue on with the remainder of my application and get it working.
There are seven numeric fields and I am thinking of having a validate button that will get the binary numeric values, convert back to strings, and put those string representations of the values back on the screen for the user to review.
Maybe I will have to write my own function with a prototype that looks like:
bool = string_to_float( string, &float );
with the bool reporting good or bad conversion. Not real difficult, but the idea that I need to write my own low level conversion function is shocking. It still seems to me that this should be a standard function.
Thanks for your time

Hello,
I have one question...
1) This code compiles and works fine.
#ifndef __A_H_INCLUDE__
#define __A_H_INCLUDE__
template <class t="">
class A
{
public:
virtual void foo();
};
template <class t=""> void A<t>::foo()
{
}
#endif
2) I second case... very similar
#ifndef __A_H_INCLUDE__
#define __A_H_INCLUDE__
class A
{
public:
virtual void foo();
};
void A::foo()
{
}
#endif
Somtimes compile good but in other situations doesn't compile correctly.
I get this message:
error LNK2005: "public: virtual void __thiscall A::foo(void)" (?foo@A@@UAEXXZ) already defined in main.obj
1>C:\Debug\test2.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
I don't understand why second case is not works in each situation... I don't see any difference in those codes. Who can help me to understand this?

This will happen if the header file is included in more than one cpp file. The compiler compiles cpp files, and indoing so, complles any code found in the included header. in other words, if both files 'Main.cpp' and 'another.cpp' include the header, A::foo() wil be included in both 'Main.obj' and 'another.obj'. Sofar so good no problems yet. Next we get the linker. it tries to stitch all obj files together into one executable. When it tries to resolve a call to A::foo(), it find that it has two options, it has to choose one. This is what the linker cannot do, and hence it gives the linker error and fails. If you want to keep the function definition in the header file, (although I don't know why you should want to do this) prefix it with the '__inline' directive.
Hope this explains the issue,

While this will work it's not the best choice. From MSDN:
Microsoft Specific
The __inline keyword is equivalent to inline.
But inline is standard whereas __inline is not, so a better choice is to use inline. The only reason to prefer __inline over inline is that __inline works in C code.

But... Ooo... I understand now...  thanks.

I writting a dll interface and I need put some function in headers files to
give probability to write some customs classes for other people.
I need to change my project now...

Yes, thanks.

Ok, in true this is my problem....
#ifndef __A_H_INCLUDE__
#define __A_H_INCLUDE__
class B;
class A
{
public:
A( B* b )
: bb( b )
{
}
virtual void foo();
};
void A::foo()
{
bb->fuu( this );
}
#endif
#ifndef __B_H_INCLUDE__
#define __B_H_INCLUDE__
#include "A.h"
class B : public A
{
public:
B( B* b )
: A( b )
{
}
virtual void fuu( A* a)
{
// do with a...
}
};
#endif
I need to break this depedency problem... and
my way is not works.

Remove these from the Header File and put in a separate CPP File.

I can not do that. This is dll header file... I didn't see any dll heders with cpp file.

 ? ? ?
A few questions before we proceed further.
Do you have the code to (re)compile the DLL ? Did you write it yourself ? Is the header file the same as the one used to compile the DLL?

Hello,
I sent to you email by codeproject but probably you did not get it. Ok.
Yes, I have the code to compile the dll
Yes, I wrote this dll this is my own code.
Yes the header files are that same as the one used to compile the dll.
If you want I can send to you some files from my dll. Our talk will be
simpler if you can see some code. My email is "gaspode(O)wp,pl".
Thanks, by.

Well, in that case you have No Problem. Proceed as Follows:-
Step 1:
Create a New CPP File, and add it to your project.
Step 2:
Write the Following in the CPP File:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "MyDll.h"// The Header in Question.
Step 3:
Cut the function bodies out of the Header, and Paste in the New Cpp File. (Leave the Declarations)
Step4:
Complete the two function definitions to read:-
void __declspec(dllexport A::foo(){ // Body;}
void __declspec(dllexport) B::fuu(){ // Body;}
Compile this, and link it, and Bob's your Uncle!
Please try this.
Regards,
Bram van Kampen

Lake this...
This a header file of dll
#ifndef __A_H_INCLUDE__
#define __A_H_INCLUDE__
class B;
class A
{
public:
A( B* b )
: bb( b )
{
}
virtual void __declspec(dllexport)foo();
};
#endif
In the project of my dll
A.cpp file
void __declspec(dllexport)A::foo()
{
bb->fuu( this );
}
Yes? Do I understand you?
