Your conclusion is correct, that dwFileAttributes is a set of bit flags.
This is just of the top of my head.

if( !(dataFind.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) )
{
    // should be a file
}
else
{
   // should be a file}
}

// TESING MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTES
if( dataFind.dwFileAttributes & (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE | FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL) )
{
    // this is a normal or archived file
}

Off the top of your head that's quite reasonable - I understand the intent, despite the typo. Rob came up with much the same conclusion (see above). Thank you for your guidance - C++ is fairly new to me, but I'm finding that it's not really as bad as I'd expected. Big Grin | :-D

You are welcome! I was wondering where that curley brace went to, but it is not a typo since it ended up as part of the comment. By the way, C++ is derived from C and what you are seeing is actualy C code (since no classes are invalved).

Have a great night, day, or whaterver!

y'know I had to stare at the code John posted quite a long time before I saw the typo Smile | :)

Here I was scratching my head and wondering what Roger was on (and if I could have some Smile | :)

) before finally seeing that errant brace.

GDI Objects LEAK due to manifest file codes?

It was a little more than the curly brace:

if( !(dataFind.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) )
{ // should be a ~~file~~ directory}
else
{ // should be a file}}

I run an application(e.g. Test.exe) in Debug or Release mode,
without manifest file, the applcation will good.

But, I met a GDI Objects leak issue,
when I run the application with
a manifest file(e.g. Test.exe.manifest).

the follow is in the manifest file:

<br />
     <dependency><br />
          <dependentAssembly><br />
               <assemblyIdentity<br />
                    type="win32"<br />
                    name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"<br />
                    version="6.0.0.0"<br />
                    publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"<br />
                    language="*"<br />
                    processorArchitecture="x86"<br />
               /><br />
          </dependentAssembly><br />
     </dependency><br />

The leak will not issue, when I remove the codes from the manifest file,
or, the leak will not issue , I rename the application name(e.g. ATest.exe).

The GDI Objects leak due to manifest file?
Who can give me some comments, thanks in advance!

I have no idea, but the manifest from Microsoft doe not cause this problem:

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestversion="1.0">
<assemblyidentity
="" version="1.0.0.0" processorarchitecture="X86" name="CompanyName.ProductName.YourApp" type="win32">

<dependency>
<dependentassembly>
<assemblyidentity

Why doesn't VC++ recognize:
#include <string>

I see this in all the books that I am reading, but when I use it...I get:
'string': undeclared identifier
on the line where I try to declare my strings.
Incidentally, Bloodshed's C++ compiler (Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0) doesn't recognize it either.

I also tried
#include <string.h>
#include<string>
#include<string.h>
and every other configuration I could think of, include using "" around 'string'
I now this is incredibally dumb...but there it is.
thanks! $Shucks | :-\$

You figured out how to use namespace std then ?

For future reference, you need to check 'Do not treat <'s as HTML tags' when posting stuff that uses < >.

See the FAQ
2.1 I'm trying to use a standard C++ library class (like cout, cin, or string) but the compiler gives an undeclared identifier error (C2065) on those names. Why?[^]

Odds are it means you passed an invalid pointer to something.

My immediate guess is that you have are using a dialog ID for which there is no control.

Ok here is a little history how i started getting errors.
I made some child dialogs boxes . After that attached them to the Parent Dialog Box. Everything is working fine. Then i added the control variables on the dialog boxes which are Check Boxes and Edit boxes only.
Now i am intialising them in the

DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)

Constructor.
e.g. setting control m_variable1 = 0.5
and so on.

After doing so it gives me error.

Any more suggestions.

Thankks for answering though.

Just check the variables and step through the code. Make sure everything is being initialized properly and in the right order. Make sure you aren't using any of the controls before they are created.

Good luck.

You may have passed an invalid pointer or you may be over writting memory in an earlier function call. The last time I saw this error I had to back track until I found a miscalulated value that was causing an over write. This error normaly appears after the cause of the error (some times long afer).
