I've yet to figure out why people do this and then complain that it does not work.

To figure out exactly which part of the above statement is not working, break it up into manageable pieces, like:

// set a breakpoint on this line and single-step through each statement.
// note the value of pWnd1 and pWnd2 along the way
CWnd *pWnd1 = GetFocus();
if (pWnd1 != NULL)
{
    CWnd *pWnd2 = GetDlgItem(IDD_AUTOMATIC);
    if (pWnd2 != NULL)
    {
        if (pWnd1 == pWnd2)
            ...
    }
}

At this point, you should know the return value of GetFocus() and GetDlgItem() and whether they are equal or not.

Because you already have a handle to that window. Just compare the two.

GetFocus() returns a handle that you can compare with the your window's handle.
If it is, your window has the focus.

Hi
I got a package of dlls, some compiled as:
- "MFC Extension DLL (using shared MFC DLL)"
- and other as "Regular DLL using shared MFC DLL"
I want to compile myown application which uses those DLLs, in "Use MFC in a Static Library" mode.

but i'm getting the following linking errors:

Linking...

How to call parent function from child?

I have a function MessageBubble(CString someMessage) which is located in the main dialog class of my app(MFC). I want to be able to call this function from any of the child objects. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

If it's really in the main dialog you'll need to declare a public method and call it from the child one:

CYourMainDlg* pMainDlg = GetParent();
pMainDlg->YourPublicMethod();

Hi, This is a really basic question but I just want to be doubley sure. The difference between BOOL* whatever; and BOOL *whatever;
?

no difference to the compiler.

both are pointers to BOOL. some people like to put the * next to the pointed-to type to emphasize that the * is actually part of the variable's type. some like it near the variable name.

std::string and looping backward

I wrote a small method that will strip all the spaces from the end of an basic_string up until is reaches text.
So a string like "This is a test " .. would be
"This is a test" once the method is complete.

Something is not working correctly though.

typedef std::string::size_type size_type;
std::string AnyString;
char MySpace = ' ';
size_type CHAR_INDEX;

CHAR_INDEX = AnyString.size();

for (size_type i = CHAR_INDEX;AnyString[i]== MySpace; i--)
AnyString.erase(i,1);

The above source only works when stripping one space, like from
"2003 " to "2003".

If i have "2003 ", it does not work. Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong here?

isn't i going to be out of bounds as soon as you hit that loop? a string of length 10 won't have an element 10, it'll only have 0..9 .

---

here's how i did a TrimRight

string TrimRight(string str)
{
  const TCHAR	* szTrimChars = _T( " \t" );
  int nIdx	= str.find_last_not_of(szTrimChars);
  if ( str.npos == nIdx )
  {
	str.erase();
  }
  else
  {
	char tSave	= str.at(nIdx);
	m_str.erase(nIdx, str.npos);	
	m_str.append(1, tSave);
  }
  return str;
}

Strange things happen if you try to modify the collection you are looping over. The best thing is to copy the string, loop over the original string but delete elements from the copy. Finally, assign the copy to the original string.

I do the following based on your suggestion but still cannot get it to work if there is more than 1 space to be removed before i hit text

typedef std::string::size_type size_type;
std::string strTemp;
char MySpace = ' ';
size_type CHAR_INDEX;

strTemp = AnyString;

CHAR_INDEX = strTemp.size();
CHAR_INDEX--;

for (size_type i = CHAR_INDEX; AnyString[i]== MySpace; i--)
strTemp.erase(i);

AnyString = strTemp;

Your question is a bit on the unclear side. You are wanting to write image data to a file named filename.dat (or file.dat). Correct? Where are you getting this image data from?

If you already have the face data in a buffer of some sort, then you simply need to call CreateFile(), WriteFile(), and CloseHandle().
