Then derive from a common base class that contains those variables, and/or derive from multiple classes that define interfaces.

I made a struct WFIOInfo that has the handle info etc. and CWinFileIn and CWinFileOut both derive from it, so if CWinFileInOut derive from both CWinFileIn and CWinFileOut which both have their own instances of the base class i still get the same ambiguous errors. Or did I not understand what you were suggesting?

I don't know what that means. do you know of any examples i could look at?

struct WFIOInfo
{
...
}
class WinFileInInterface // Note - NOT derived from WFIOInfo, defines an interface for what CWinFIleIn has that WFIOInfo does not
{
virtual void myMethod; //etc
}
class WinFileOutInterface
{
virtual void myMethod; //etc
}
class CWinFileIn : WFIOInfo, WinFileInInterface
{
}
class CWinFileOut : WFIOInfo, WinFileOutInterface
{
}
class CWinFileInOut : WFINInfo, WinFileInInterface, WinFileOutInterface
{
}
So, CWinFileInOut is not derived from either derived class, but from all three base classes that combine to make the class you're after.

ok, i think i *almost* have it, but its giving me the following errors:

an interface should be purely abstract so put a =0 behind function definitions.
class WinFileInInterface<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
virtual BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName) = 0;<br />
virtual BOOL DoReadFile(LPVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead) = 0;<br />
};<br />
<br />
class WinFileOutInterface<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
virtual BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName) = 0;<br />
virtual BOOL DoWriteFile(LPCVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite) = 0;<br />
};

Why dont u use classname as specifier? like
ObjectInstanceName.Classname::variablename?

Hello,
As some other user already suggested, you should use virtual base classes (if you want to share among the different types). See Here[^] for more information on virtual inheritance.
Another way to go (IMHO the better way) is to encapsulate some details of your base classes using private inheritance instead of public. Also you need to override some other functions to resolve the ambiguities:
struct WFIOInfo
{ HANDLE m_hFile;
DWORD m_dwBytes;
};
class WinFileInInterface
{
public:
virtual BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName);
virtual BOOL DoReadFile(LPVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead);
};
class WinFileOutInterface
{
public:
virtual BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName);
virtual BOOL DoWriteFile(LPCVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite);
};
class CWinFileIn : private WFIOInfo, public WinFileInInterface
{
public:
virtual BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName)
{return TRUE;}
virtual BOOL DoReadFile(LPVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead)
{return ::ReadFile(m_hFile, lpBuffer, nNumberOfBytesToRead, &m_dwBytes, NULL);}
};
class CWinFileOut : private WFIOInfo, WinFileOutInterface
{
public:
virtual BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName) {return TRUE;}
virtual BOOL DoWriteFile(LPCVOID lpBuffer, DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite)
{return ::WriteFile(m_hFile, lpBuffer, nNumberOfBytesToWrite, &m_dwBytes, NULL);}
};
class CWinFileInOut : private: WFIOInfo,
public: WinFileInInterface,
public: WinFileOutInterface
{
public:
BOOL Open(LPCTSTR lpszFileName)
{ return TRUE; }
};
Using the private inheritance, you make the class only visible and accessible to the class that derives from it. Classes which are derived from that class, do not know about the previous privatly inherited classes. This way, you can have multiple names inside different classes.
Hope this helps

After looking at this closer it turns out I don't understand how this works. If CWinFileInOut derives just from interfaces, doesn't that mean I have copy the implementations of the interfaces of CWinFileIn and CWinFileOut to CWinFileInOut, which makes inheritance pointless

There's no such thing as interfaces in C++. These are base classes which define the interfaces. Yes, perhaps this is not what you want, but a virtual base class will have the same problem.

"base classes which define the interfaces" is what i meant when saying interfaces, sorry for confusing the terms. so, um, sorry if i'm being dense but is what i was originally asking even possible? in the example with the virtual base classes, the derived classes CWinFileIn and CWinFileOut have to implement the virtual functions, and the same virtual functions have to be implemented again in CWinFileInOut, which kinda defeats the purpose of inheritance.
|
|
|
|

Yes, that's definately the problem, I doubt what you want to do is possible. You can make a class that is all three class types, but you need to copy a bit of code between the classes to do it.

go for virtual base class
|
|
|
|

You can place the common elements in a virtual base class.

hi all...I have troubles in accessing and editing the tab control member's attributes. I've followed the codeproject article on making the tab control application(which is creating a new class for example CMyTabCtrl derived from CTabCtrl and inserted with other classes for exmaple CTabOne,CTabTwo,etc). How to access the CTabOne attributes(for example its edit box)? Does anyone can help me?From where I can access to CTabOne attributes?Is it from the Main Dialog Class, CMyTabCtrl, or from the CTabOne directly?Pls help...
|
|
|
|
|
This question is about a specific wrapper class, so you should be asking the article author. Broadly, the CTabOne class will have an instance in your tab control class probably, which means you need it should be accessible from there. It's accesible from whatever class contains it.

How to access it. I'm making a member variable for the edit box. How to access the member variable? I'm making a program that has tree control and tab control. If I click the tree attributes, the tab control content will change according to the selected tree item. But I'm so confused. pls help...
|
|

|

Your member variables should not be public. Make a public method on the class that you can call. I'd say at a guess that the pages are in this wrapper class as instances of hte base class, if so, you need to find the right one and cast it to get access to your custom properties and methods. But like I say, I don't know what article code you're using, so you should ask the author.

ok..will try it. The problem is, I forgot who is the author(I've download the source code,but in the source code, he didn't put his name but his email ben@shido.fsnet.co.uk) 
thx.

I use Ado to connect SQL Server,when I deleted a record,the Provider report a Error Message:"Row handle referred to a deleted row or a row marked for deletion".
The following is my sample code:
pRecordset->delete(adAffectCurrent);
pRecordset->Update();
pRecordset->MoveFirst();
i=0;
while(!m_pRecordset->adoEOF)
{
varValue = pRecordset->GetCollect(long(i);
i++;
if (varValue.vt == VT_NULL)
bstrValue = "";
AfxMessageBox(bstrValue);
m_pRecordset->MoveNext();
}

Is it pRecordset, or m_pRecordset?

HELP!
I've searched all over this, Microsoft's, and many other sites. In using EnumJobs in C++ version 6, I am specifying a JOB_INFO_2 structure. According to the MSDN:
Time
Specifies the total time, in milliseconds, that has elapsed since the job began printing.
However, this value is always zero. The EnumJobs function always returns TRUE, and the rest of the structure's members seem OK. Does anyone out there know if there is a bug in the API that discusses anything about this? I greatly appreciate it in advance!
|
|
|
|
|
Has the job been printed yet? If not, zero would be the right value.
|
|
|
|
|
Hey thanks for your input!
Hmmmm. Good question. I have the job paused, so no, it hasn't been printed. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the time would be updated on each call to EnumJobs. Did I miss something in the documentation?
What I'm trying to do is capture all jobs for printers that I am monitoring. I pause the job, then notify another program (via the clipboard) that a job is being printed. I need to know when the other app is is finished adding its content to the job (or some period of time) so I can unpause it.
While I know there are several solutions to what I need to do, I thought that time member of the JOB_INFO_2 struct would do the trick. But alas it doesn't get updated.
