Hi to All,

Could you please clear my following doubt.
I have 3 class with multilevel inheritance as follows,,...

class A
{
public:
     A()
     {
          s();
     }
     virtual void s()
     {
          printf("\nIn A");
     }
};
class B:public A
{
     public:
};
class C:public B
{
     public:
          void s()
          {
               printf("\nIn C");
          }
};

int   main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

A *ptr     =     new C();
}

when i create an object of C,...by theory it should call always the method S of C....am I correct?...but when I called C from A's constructor Its calling S() of C....Why so?...Could anyone please explain me the reason and some points on it??

thanks in advance

You mean it is calling s() of A, right ?
That's normal because when A is being constructed, it's virtual table is not create yet, which means that the call can't be redirected properly. So, the rule is simple: never call a virtual function from within a constructor.

Read this[^] for instance.

Not quite, Cedric - in A's constructor, the object has A's v-table. See the C++ 98 Standard, Section 12.7-3.

When u create base class pointer as derived class using new, it first allocate memory for base class one by one, call their constructors, initialize their member variables , finally it call declared class constructor(here it is Class C). since fn s() is called in class A's Constructor, it invoke its own fn even though u declared it as virtual.
A *ptr = new C();

if you define like this ,
A *ptr = new C();
ptr->s();

Class C's fn of s() will be invoked!

When constructing an object, base class constructors use that base classes virtual function table. So, when you call C's constructor, the first thing it does is call B's (implicitly defined) constructor, which call's A's constructor. Within A's constructor, only virtual functions defined in A can be called. Within B's constructor, only virtual functions defined in A or B can be called. Within C's constructor, virtual functions defined in A, B or C could be called.

SetDIBitsToDevice problem

sashoalm8-Dec-09 21:12

I have this code that loads a DIB bitmap from a file and passes it to SetDIBitsToDevice.

This code works:

FILE* f = fopen(".\\bitmap1.bmp", "rb");

vector<BYTE> buffer;
buffer.resize(_filelength(f->_file));
fread(&buffer[0], buffer.size(), 1, f);
BITMAPINFO* bminfo = (BITMAPINFO*) &buffer[14];
BITMAPFILEHEADER* bmh = (BITMAPFILEHEADER*) &buffer[0];
LPVOID bits = &buffer[bmh->bfOffBits];

SetDIBitsToDevice(
    pDC->GetSafeHdc(),              // handle to device context
    0,                              // x-coordinate of upper-left corner of
                                    // dest. rect.
    0,                              // y-coordinate of upper-left corner of
                                    // dest. rect.
    bminfo->bmiHeader.biWidth,       // source rectangle width
    bminfo->bmiHeader.biHeight,      // source rectangle height
    0,                              // x-coordinate of lower-left corner of
                                    // source rect.
    0,                              // y-coordinate of lower-left corner of
                                    // source rect.
    0,                              // first scan line in array
    bminfo->bmiHeader.biHeight,      // number of scan lines
    bits,                           // address of array with DIB bits
    bminfo,                         // address of structure with bitmap info.
    DIB_RGB_COLORS                  // RGB or palette indexes
    );

But this doesn't. The only differences are in the source origins and width/height/number of scanlines. I'm trying to pass a smaller rectangle that starts at (100,100) and has the same lower-right corner (hence smaller width/height).

FILE* f = fopen(".\\bitmap1.bmp", "rb");

vector<BYTE> buffer;
buffer.resize(_filelength(f->_file));
fread(&buffer[0], buffer.size(), 1, f);
BITMAPINFO* bminfo = (BITMAPINFO*) &buffer[14];
BITMAPFILEHEADER* bmh = (BITMAPFILEHEADER*) &buffer[0];
LPVOID bits = &buffer[bmh->bfOffBits];

SetDIBitsToDevice(
    pDC->GetSafeHdc(),              // handle to device context
    0,                              // x-coordinate of upper-left corner of
                                    // dest. rect.
    0,                              // y-coordinate of upper-left corner of
                                    // dest. rect.
    bminfo->bmiHeader.biWidth-100,   // source rectangle width
    bminfo->bmiHeader.biHeight-100,  // source rectangle height
    100,                            // x-coordinate of lower-left corner of
                                    // source rect.
    100,                            // y-coordinate of lower-left corner of
                                    // source rect.
    0,                              // first scan line in array
    bminfo->bmiHeader.biHeight-100,  // number of scan lines
    bits,                           // address of array with DIB bits
    bminfo,                         // address of structure with bitmap info.
    DIB_RGB_COLORS                  // RGB or palette indexes
    );

What can be the problem with the second code?

I never have used SetDIBitsToDevice() myself. I would suggest you to use Stretchblt(), it's almost the same. I'm sure that one does the job...

My experience is that problems with these functions mostly are caused by:
- wrong coordinate system (try negative values)
- pending clipping areas

So if you try Stretchblt() and it doesn't work either you know its not in the coordinates..

And, as someone on CP a few days before suggested, there seems to be a 'DCviewer' somewhere on CP.

Good luck

Hi,

I am writing a small app to connect 2 computers. When i test the server side right from my computer, it 's ok. But because i am using a shared network with a router, my friends cannot connect to my computer by using my IP (because it is a local ip). Can anyone suggest a way to overcome this problem, please?

When one of the two peer-to-peer appliacations is inside a private network, you've to configure (manually) the router for NAT.

As long as one of the two peers is not firewalled (incoming connections are not blocked), they can make a connection. If both are in a local network without port forwarding it gets much more trickier, but there are still possibilities (as Skype shows).

How do i generate tables in WORD through code? i am creating an application where i have to create tables depending on the input given. for example, if there are 10 objects there should be 10 rows and each row should have an object.

i was trying some examples in CP. couldnt find any.. if somebody can help me it would be great
