I have the following:
CFileDialog dlg(FALSE,"for",Filename,OFN_CREATEPROMPT | OFN_HIDEREADONLY |OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT |OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST ,
"New Format (*.fr)|*.fr| Oldformat (*.fr)|*.fr||",this);
which will create two options on the drop down choice, How can I flag between the two options when the files have the same extension (.fr) in this case? Does this class have a member that will let me know which choice is selected?
Thanks

Are you referring to the nFilterIndex member (of OPENFILENAME)?

As a general user interface design principle, it is probably not a good idea to make the user determine whether the file is in the "new" format or not. Can you not simply have one entry for "*.fr" files and programmatically figure out whether it is new or old?

I don't think its quite possible in my case. The problem is between sharing files between new application that uses (Serializes new variables)and users who still have the old applications (They cannot open new serialized files).

One way you can deal with this is to include version numbers in your file format and have your application inspect it to determine whether it is able to open it. If your old file format did not have a version number then start including one in the new version and interpret the absence of a version number in a file as an indication of it being in the old format. It is common for applications to be backward compatible but not the other way around, i.e., new versions of the application should be able to deal with files created using older versions but it is not necessary for older versions of the application to be able to deal with files created using the new version. Having said that, it would be desirable for applications to handle it gracefully when it encounters a file created using a newer version (use the file with reduced functionality maybe or fail to open it altogether with a user-friendly error message).

Hi,
Could you please help me in this issue.
I am using CTime in my code which is failing for the dates greater than 2038.Could please suggest any approach to read the dates greater than 2038.
My code is:
CTime t(y, m, d, 0, 0, 0);
if(y!=t.GetYear() || m!=t.GetMonth() || d!=t.GetDay())
{
bRet = FALSE;
}
This code is basically for displaying a Invalid date.
Thanks a lot in advance............

Use COleDateTime.

In theory you could use with your CDateTimeCtrl any date in the COleDateTime range.
Some things seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Hi All
how to convert LPBYTE to CString?Help me

If you are sure that LPBYTE contains a valid TCHAR* null terminated string then you can cast it to LPTSTR and assign to CString.

Other than actually typing it for you, he did.
PTBYTE name = _T("konnichiwa");
CString str = name;

The key thing to note here is the following qualifier:
Nibu babu thomas wrote: If you are sure that LPBYTE contains a valid TCHAR* null terminated string...
If you aren't absolutely sure about this then you could be in trouble. As a general principle, when you're serializing to and deserializing from a byte stream, it may be better to stick to a "char" or a "wchar_t" instead of "TCHAR" and then do the appropriate conversions. That's assuming you have complete control over the data stream (i.e. only your program writes to and loads from the data store). If you are implementing this on a web server extension for instance, or if you are loading the string from a file that can potentially be created and edited by other programs then you'll want to worry about text encoding and byte order marks.

I have an MS Word COM-addin in which this example code
try
{
throw std::exception();
}
catch (std::exception&)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Caught", "Caught", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
}
works for Debug version, but crashes Word in Release version. Is this a problem with compiler flags? I have "Enable Exception Handling" option checked both in Debug and Release. Any help would be appreciated.
There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition.

Microsoft Word has probably installed a global Structured Exception Handler[^] and is catching the exception before your catch block.
Try changing your code to the following and tell me if it fixes your problem.
__try
{
throw std::exception();
}
__except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Caught", "Caught", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
}
Best Wishes,

hi....
im new to widgets....
i downloaded wxWidgets 2.8.9.....
i BUILD the wx.dsw file in all configurations....
but it failed in 4 configurations....namely
DEBUG DLL, RELEASE DLL, UNICODE DEBUG DLL AND UNICODE RELEASE DLL....
I DOWNLOADED THE SAMPLE "HELLO WORLD" wxWidgets
program from this site...... when i build it....
i get the error.....
...HelloWorld fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zlib.lib'
now what is the problem????
somebody please help me

Here[^] is an article about wxWidgets (it contains a section describing how to install it). It's a bit outdated but you can check if it is of any value to you.

There is a forum devoted exclusively to wxWidgets that is very good at helping wxForum[^]

Hi guys,
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and I have few questions:
1. If I have function without parameters, what to do to skip () when invoking the function?
2. I have:
int Mem;
...
Mem = LocalAlloc(LHND, ...);
...
WriteFile(f, Mem,...)
Mem keeps address of memory block.
What expression to write in WriteFile(f, ???Mem,...) to write the memory block pointed by Mem in file?
3. Is there a way a class member field to be accessible just for reading without writing?
P.S. If you know the answer of at least 1 question, please share it.

You can't. Why do you want to do such a thing ?
akirilov wrote: int Mem; - it keep address of memory block.
Why are you working with integers to store addresses ? Why not manipulate pointers directly, it will make your life much easier.
akirilov wrote: 3. Is there a way a class member field to be accessible just for reading without writing?
Make it private and provide a getter method and no setter method in the class.

Invoking methods is slow. Is there any other way (Something like in Delphi - you can give read/write access to a member, without involving methods)?
Why not manipulate pointers directly, it will make your life much easier. Mainly, because I'don't know how and also I had problems with pointer arithmetics.
Anyway could you share a code fragment that will do the trick (with pointers) (if possible with int)?

no; using inline might help a little bit, and probably the compiler will optimize this also.

As a famous guy already said: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil". What it means here is that you try to have only optimization in mind even when it makes your code less readable or maintainable. Unless your function has to be called very often and is in a time critical part of your code, I think you can forget about the performances (and you can also rely on your compiler for a bit of optimizations).
If I take your way of thinking to the extreme, you can end up with one gigantic main function because you never wanted to make function calls...
akirilov wrote: Anyway could you share a code fragment that will do the trick (with pointers) (if possible with int)?
I think you should learn that because it provides type safety which is not the case when working with ints containing an address. What kind of data are you manipulating ? An array of ints ?
