Why the arrow button on TabControl is not working in my MFC application.

Hi.

I created a class which is derived from CTabView. In OnCretae() function it created a window with a tab control on window. Later i created few views by calling AddView(). I created 5 view.

Now, when i click on the arrow buttons on the tab control below, my control is not switching the tabs.
May i know which function should i call to switch the tabs on my window?

And also let me know how to disable it?

here in the code below i am trying to print the increment every time the same object is called, but it's giving error.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Names{
        int m;
        static int count;
    public:
        void setcode(void){
            m = ++count;
            cout<<m<<endl;
        }
};

int main(){
    Names x;
    for(int i=1; i<5; i++){
        x.setcode();
    }

    return 0;
}

Error:

You have declared the variable count in your Names class, but never defined it in your code. Add the following line after the class declaration:

int Names::count;

int m=0;
class Names{
        char name[5][30];
        //static int m;
    public:

            //string s;
            cout<<"Entre name :\t";
            cin.ignore(1000, '\n');
            cin>>name[m];
            //getline(cin, name[m]);
            //strcpy(name[m],s);
            m++;
        }
        void display(void){
            for(int i=0; i<m; i++){
                cout<<name[i]<<endl;

int main(){

    for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
        x.getdata();
    }
    x.display();

    return 0;
}

i tried getline(), but it was giving error. How do i take a string as a input ?

Please test it and let me know whether it solved your requirement.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#define MAX 100
using namespace std;


class Names {
	string name[3];
	//static int m;
public:
	//Names(){m++;}
	void getdata() 
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
		{
			cout << "Enter Names:" << endl;
			getline(cin,name[i]);
		}
	}
	void display(void) {
		for (int i = 0; i<3; i++) {
			cout << name[i] << endl;
		}
	}
};

void main()
{
	Names n;
	n.getdata();

Can you make your font size larger? I cannot see the error from here.

How can I minimize memory usage in my table-based statemachine with several hundred states?

arnold_w9-Mar-18 9:02

I am working with an ARM microcontroller and I have kind of a statemachine with several hundred states. In order to be able to overview it, I have written the code so that it has a 1:1 correspondence with a flowchart specification. I have removed irrelevant code, but basically the code works like this:

Bool_t (*returnTrueOrFalseFunctionPtr) (void);
void (*actionFunctionPtr) (int);

struct myStruct_s {
    returnTrueOrFalseFunctionPtr   trueOrFalse;
    struct myStruct_s*             whereToGoIfTrue;
    struct myStruct_s*             whereToGoIfFalse;
    actionFunctionPtr              actionsToPerformInThisState[5];
    int                            actionArguments[5];
};

static struct myStruct_s myStateMachine1[];
static struct myStruct_s myStateMachine2[];
static struct myStruct_s myStateMachine3[];
static struct myStruct_s myStateMachine4[];

define myStateMachine1 ms1
define myStateMachine2 ms2
define myStateMachine3 ms3
define myStateMachine4 ms4

static struct myStruct_s myStateMachine1[] = {
    {evaluateSomething,         &ms1[1], &ms1[3], {startMotor,increaseSpeed,   NULL,         NULL, NULL, 3,5, 0, 0,0},
        {evaluateSomething,     &ms1[2], &ms2[0], {stopMotor, openExhaust,     decreaseSpeed,NULL, NULL, 1,20,13,0,0},
            {evaluateSomething, &ms1[0], &ms1[2], {openRelay, writeStatusToLog,increaseSpeed,NULL, NULL, 4,5, 87,0,0},
        {evaluateSomething,     &ms1[4], &ms2[1], {blah blah blah... },
            {evaluateSomething, &ms2[1], &ms2[2], {blah blah blah... },
};

struct myStruct_s myStateMachine2[] = {
    {evaluateSomething,         &ms2[1], &ms2[3], { blah blah blah... },
        {evaluateSomething,     &ms2[2], &ms3[0], { blah blah blah... },
            {evaluateSomething, &ms3[1], &ms3[3], { blah blah blah... },
        {evaluateSomething,     &ms2[4], &ms4[1], { blah blah blah... },
            {evaluateSomething, &ms4[0], &ms2[2], { blah blah blah... },
};

I am very happy with this code format, it make it very easy for me to follow where I am in the statemachine/flowchart and decide where to go next. My problem is that I need to port this code to a microcontroller that has little memory, so I would like to memory-optimize the code heavily. I have already replaced my action function pointers with an enum instead:

enum actionsToPerformInThisState_e {
    startMotor_,
    stopMotor_,
    openRelay_,
    openExhaust_,
    writeStatusToLog_,
    decreaseSpeed_,
    increaseSpeed_,
    NULL_
};

struct myStruct_s {
    returnTrueOrFalseFunctionPtr   trueOrFalse;
    struct myStruct_s*             whereToGoIfTrue;
    struct myStruct_s*             whereToGoIfFalse;
    actionsToPerformInThisState_e  actionToPerformInThisState0 : 3;
    actionsToPerformInThisState_e  actionToPerformInThisState1 : 3;
    actionsToPerformInThisState_e  actionToPerformInThisState2 : 3;
    actionsToPerformInThisState_e  actionToPerformInThisState3 : 3;
    actionsToPerformInThisState_e  actionToPerformInThisState4 : 3;
    int                            actionArguments[5];
};

What else can I do to reduce memory usage? Since most states don't use all 5 actions, I would like to have variable number of actions, but the elements in the array must be of same size, or can anybody think of a workaround (I can't place the actions outside the array and have a pointer to them because then the nice readability is lost). What about all pointers (each occupy a whopping 4 bytes!!!) to next states, can anybody think of another way to accomplish this linking? Other suggestions?

Can the actionArguments have a narrower type? Maybe 5 chars instead of 5 ints?
The next-state pointers could be integers that index into the array of states instead of direct pointers, that would probably allow them to be uint16_t.
Maybe the pointer to the true/false function can be an enum too?

No, actionArguments can sometimes use 32 bits.

But how would I index when the pointer is pointing to a different array?

Yes, of course, why didn't I think of that!

OK. How often is that needed? Perhaps you can cheat a bit: allow only a couple of 32bit arguments, and the rest must be small. Then if one "block" of actions does need more 32bit arguments, it can be "split" into two successive states (which costs a lot of space, but if splitting is rare then it can be an overall win)
Or maybe: pack arguments in VLQ, but reserve a fixed amount of space. When it doesn't fit, split the state.

The next-state pointers could be integers that index into the array of states instead of direct pointers, that would probably allow them to be uint16_t.
But how would I index when the pointer is pointing to a different array?

OK maybe pack together two parts, some bits that indicate which array to look into, and some bits to indicate the index.

You can tighten the structure at the cost of a carry an action size count. However it does allow you to use the same actions blocks for multiple states. That may often happen in that you just have things like confirm yes/no actions.

I also changed your pointer definitions to const as you are clearly going to have static tables and it will save compiler type casting errors.

I assume you are going to do this .. see the C11 initializers at code end which uses the standard _countof to autosize the arrays.
on GCC it's ARRAY_SIZE() but I hate the name so always define it _countof same as MSVC because it reflects better what it is IMHO.

typedef bool (*returnTrueOrFalseFunctionPtr) (void);
typedef void (*actionFunctionPtr) (int);

struct myAction_s {
	const actionFunctionPtr actionToPerformInThisState;
	const uint32_t actionArgument;
};

struct myStruct_s {
	returnTrueOrFalseFunctionPtr   trueOrFalse;
	const struct myStruct_s*       whereToGoIfTrue;
	const struct myStruct_s*       whereToGoIfFalse;
	const uint8_t				   maxActionsInThisState;    // Count of the actions in this state
	const struct myAction_s*	   actionsListInThisState;   // The action block pointer
 };

static void SomeYesFunc (int) {

}

static void SomeNoFunc(int) {

}

static void SomePerhapsFunc(int) {

}

static bool truefalseFunc(void) {
	return true;
}

/* ACTION BLOCK DEFINITIONS */
const struct myAction_s yesNoBlock[2] = { &SomeYesFunc, 1 , &SomeNoFunc, 2 };
const struct myAction_s yesNoPerhapsBlock[3] = { &SomeYesFunc, 1 , &SomeNoFunc, 2, &SomePerhapsFunc, 3};

/* ACTION STATE DEFINITIONS */
const struct myStruct_s nullState = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
const struct myStruct_s yesNoState = { &truefalseFunc, &nullState , &nullState, _countof(yesNoBlock), &yesNoBlock[0] };
const struct myStruct_s yesNoPerhapsState = { &truefalseFunc, &nullState , &nullState, _countof(yesNoPerhapsBlock), &yesNoPerhapsBlock[0] };

How to get object of a view which is created using AddView().

Hi
In my mfc application i created a window with multiple tabs as follows:

class MainWind: public CTabView
{
      void OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpstruct)
      {
           if (CTabView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
		           return -1;

            AddView(RUNTIME_CLASS(CView1), _T("Sheet1"));
      }
}

class CView1 : public CScrollView
{
      CView1()
     {

     }
     void LoadData()
     {

     }
}

A window is created with one tab and CView1 is the view class for my window.
After AddView() i want to call LoadData() function which is available in CView1 class. May i know how to get the object of CView1 class in my MainWindclass.
