thanks for your response. I know about the use of BOOL, laziness stops me from using it in this instance. If I search for *.* instead of ReadMe.txt FindNextFile() will find

. Current Directory
.. Parent Directory

but will fail to find any other files I have in the directory, if I search for a specific file by name it also fails to find it.

I am running this under Windows 2000 Professional SP2 and the actual directory name is D:\DevelopC++\Supplier\Debug\Import. Not sure if the problem is actually being caused by the fact the directory is under the Debug directory used by Visual Studio to create the executable in.

Still completely stumped, as I have been for the last 2 days.

Laziness can hurt here. If your search is going to return exactly one result, your while loop will never execute if you discard the return value of FindFile and use FindNextFile instead. Anyway, CFindFile works perfectly for me - maybe your problems are caused by SetCurrentDirectory? I'd get rid of it and concat mask (*.* or whatever) with dir name.

Going to try your advice now. Funny thing is I originally was concatenating *.* to the directory name and when that wasn't working I changed to SetCurrentDirectory().

I've dusted off some old code, and it turns out that you can't use

find.FindFile("...")
while (find.FindNExtFile())
{
}

You'll lose last file returned. You have to play with temp BOOL variable, just like in my first reply to your post.

got it now, thanks for your help. Don't know if I mis-read the help or just can't find it now but it definitely told me to use FindNextFile() before I could do anything with the files.

This is wrong.

FindFile() gets the first file and I can use any member function of CFileFInd to get information on that file, FindNextFile() gets the second, third file etc.

I was screwing myself by not accessing any file information until after I had looked for the second file which didn't exist

This is indeed documented in very confusing way. But you have to call FindNextFile before you get the file details with GetFilePath. Otherwise, your app will assert and die.

No, your confusion comes from the bad design of FindNextFile(). In your previous code, you had

while ( finder.FindNextFile(...) )

which seems logical. One would think that FindNextFile() returns false once you iterate through the entire list of files. However, it returns false when you hit the last file, not after you hit the last file. So your test needs to be something like:

BOOL bGo = TRUE;
  
while ( bGo )
  {
  bGo = finder.FindNextFile(...);
  // ...process the next file here...
  }

So in summary, when FindNextFile() returns FALSE, there is still one more file to process.

I write apps in C++ (using VC++) and often I'm not sure where to palce the classes. For example, if I have a class that interact with a database (CDaoMyClass) I put a reference to this class in the CMyDocument class. Is it right?
I have some trouble in design the class hirerchy for my applycation.
Is there a book that teach how to design a GOOD application with an Object Oriented approach? I mean the Style of programming is important!!!
Thanks!

What do you mean by a 'reference'? Something like this?

// member of CMyDocument
CDaoMyClass &m_rDaoMyClass;

The 'Orthodox' way is to store all persistent data in the applications document. There are problems with doing this:
Eg.
You have an SDI application, with a control bar, nested in control bar is a custom list ctrl. Now from the list ctrl you need to display data stored in the document, this is where MFC becomes very messy.

You do the following,
1/ Get the MainFrame (AfxGetMainWnd and cast to CMainFrame*)
2/ Get the ActiveDocment (GetActiveDocument and cast to CMyDoc)

This completely sucks, however I have lived with this for 7 years.

The other solution is a MVC (Model/View/Controller) pattern, Stingray have developed a class framework implementing MVC (unfortunately I haven't used this). MVC is a much OOD way of the DOC/View metaphor.

where can find the fastest "LineTO" code? ro how to do!

I am working with a drawing program. I want to draw rotated ellipse(I dont't want to use rotated DC),but I fond the pen caps can only be round in win98. So I write
"LineTo" myself. But I found its speed was too slow. So please help me, tell where can find fastest code.

thanks to all the programmers who have helped me.

You can draw rotated ellipse using approximation with Bezier segments. The code below may be just what you want (I've extracted it from some old app - found the code on the net); the degrees parameter controls the rotation

void EllipseEx(CDC &dc, int cx, int cy, int rx, int ry, int degrees)
{
	const int Segments = 12;
	const int PointCount = 1 + 3 * Segments;
	const double Alpha = 3.14159265359 / Segments;
	const double Beta = 4 * (1 - cos(Alpha)) / (3 * sin(Alpha));

	double px[PointCount], py[PointCount];
	double Angle, CosA, SinA;

	for (int i = 0; i < Segments; i ++)
	{
		Angle = 2 * i * Alpha;

		CosA = cos(Angle);
		SinA = sin(Angle);
		int k = 3 * i;
		int j = (i == 0) ? 3 * Segments - 1 : k - 1;
				
		px[k] = rx * CosA;
		py[k] = ry * SinA;

		SinA *= Beta * rx; //* SinA;
		CosA *= Beta * ry; //* CosA;

		px[j] = px[k] + SinA;
		py[j] = py[k] - CosA;

		px[k + 1] = px[k] - SinA;
		py[k + 1] = py[k] + CosA;
	}

	px[PointCount - 1] = px[0];
	py[PointCount - 1] = py[0];

	Angle = 2 * 3.1415927 * degrees / 360;
	CosA = cos(Angle); 
	SinA = sin(Angle); 
	
	POINT pt[PointCount];
	for (i = 0; i < PointCount; i ++)
	{
		pt[i].x = cx + (LONG)(0.5 + px[i] * CosA - py[i] * SinA);
		pt[i].y = cy + (LONG)(0.5 + px[i] * SinA + py[i] * CosA);
	}

	PolyBezier(dc, pt, PointCount); 
}

Can you help me ?? Here is my code.

It seems that you're trying to copy the desktop window to a bitmap first. Next, you want to display a dialog and paint its background using saved image. There's a class encapsulating a memory DC and a bitmap on code project; search for CMemDC.

Hi all,
I'm writing program about database,
In my program i have three dialogs, and i have to use of CDaoDatabase object in all dialogs ...
I want to use of only one object for do that,
How can i do that ???
Does i must create global variable ?
I mean, writing CDaoDatabase g_db; in first of my source code, and using of extern CDaoDatabase g_db; in other cpp files ???
Do you have any idea ?
My program is in SDI mode ...

Make your CDaoDatabase an application data member and provide an accessor function in your app class...

class CYourApp : public CWinApp
{
// ...
public:
CDaoDatabase& GetDatabase() { return m_db; }
private:
CDaoDatabase m_db;
// ...
};

... and use AfxGetApp in your dialogs to get access to db:

// ... somewhere in dialog methods
CDaoDatabase &db = static_cast<CYourApp *>(AfxGetApp())->GetDatabase();
