I'm not sure how I would go about using your class to do what I want. A good example of what I would like to do is http://www.codebrain.com/java/codebrainslider/index.html[^]
The only thing is that I would like to implement it in c++. Let me know if this is possible. Thank you,

Ok, tomorrow morning (Europe's time), I'll send you a small demo application

I just add a member variable by right-clicking a class, I haven't assigned a value to it yet nor use it and when I ran the program, a windows message box prompt saying that my program caused an error and need to be closed. Than another message box appeared after that:
Debug Assertion Failed
path of my program
FILE: dbgheap.c (i don't have this file on my prog)
LINE: 1017
EXPRESSION:_BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID(pHead->nBlockUse)
What's this?

you would do well to add member variables, etc, by hand. The IDE stuff works most of the time, but it's not really programming, and sometimes it just falls apart. I learned that the hard way when the IDE made a mess of a COM project, and I had to quickly learn how to add methods to COM by hand.

No, this is part of the runtime. You'd be amazed how many files 'not in your project' get included when you hit 'compile'
Looks like you are accessing memory that is not valid to me.

Oh, so there's nothing I can do about it by now. I must learn how to add a member variable the hard way.

Well, it's hardly difficult. You check for an area that has the access you want, or add one at the bottom ( you should default to private member variables ), and you add it. It just looks like this ( in the .h file, inside the class definition )
int m_myInteger;
string m_theString;
etc.
Not a big deal, IMO. To add a method, you just add the signature in the .h file
void MyMethod(int s);
then in the .cpp file you do this
void MyClass::MyMethod(int s)
{
// do something.
}

Yup, sometimes, I override the MFC automation process by adding variables myself. But I think the error that I just encountered is a bit unusual. Just forget it, I'll just have to try get around it. Thanks

Try rebuilding all so that all files get re-compiled. If you are creating an object of that class in one file and deleting it in another file, you'll get that error (or similar) if one of the files didn't get compiled after adding the variable.
In normal situations you shouldn't need this because it's automatically handled through file dependencies, but I've ocasionally seen the IDE fail in that respect. A 'Rebuild All' usually fixes the problem in those cases.
Also, make sure you only have one header file for that class, or if for some reason you have duplicated it, make sure both copies are kept in sync.

How do I use a Collection::Contains with a struct (The collection is full of structs)
When I try to pass the struct I get the error:
error C3627: Only a value type can be boxed
error C2664: 'System::Collections::Queue::Contains' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Point' to 'System::Object __gc *'

Point is:
struct Point
{
int x, y;
}
How can structs inherit, does that make it pretty much a class.

A struct IS a class. The only difference is that structs are default access public.

A .NET struct is not a .NET class. I didn't read that bit, although I did check that I was not in the managed C++ forum, because I did think of that.

Hi,
When I use the APPWIZARD (EXE) to create a basic MFC application and if I select the "REGULAR MFC" option in the end, the program runs fine....But if I select the "MFC IN STATIC LIBRARY"..it shows LNK4003 error...
I am using the Enterprise Version of VC++ 6
Please help,,,,

Which library is the linker complaining about?

it says:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\LIB\libcmtd.lib : warning LNK4003: invalid library format; library ignored

and the list goes on...
Kindly help !!!

It sounds like your linker options are askew. I don't know if you need to add Nafxcwd.lib and Libcmtd.lib to the list of libraries to ignore, or change the order in which the linker processes them.

I will try what you suggested and get back to you...
Actually, I just selected the "WIN32 Release" in the 'etting for' option.... and the code compiled and ran completely....

I am sorry I told you before that the code linked properly...actually the option just got resetted to "REGULAR share DLL" and the code ran fine....
Now I am back at the same point...
When I ignore the default libraries the options look like this:
/nologo /subsystem:windows /incremental:yes /pdb:"Debug/netmet1.pdb" /debug /machine:I386
/nodefaultlib /out:"Debug/netmet1.exe" /pdbtype:sept
and when I disable the ignore default libs..the options look like this....
/nologo /subsystem:windows /incremental:yes /pdb:"Debug/netmet1.pdb" /debug /machine:I386
/out:"Debug/netmet1.exe" /pdbtype:sept
What changes do i need to make to the above options...???

I'm working on a project that involves quite a bit of graphical drawing using GDI, and thus I need to eliminate flicker using memory DCs. I've used them extensively in my program, but I think I have overused them, causing the drawing to be unnecessarily slow. (A listview, a listbox, a few buttons, and the background of the main window AFAIK)
Perhaps allocating the memory bitmap in WM_CREATE instead of WM_PAINT will speed up the painting some, keeping in mind I need to reallocate when the size changes too.
A couple of questions, because I've had some inconsistent results. (I use the memdc from atlgdix.h for you WTL devs)
1) In the WM_ERASEBKGND handler, I've found that if I do not use Invalidate(FALSE); (indicating to invalidate without erasing the background), sometimes the window does not get redrawn correctly. Is it proper practice to use a WM_ERASEBKGND handler that looks like this?
OnEraseBkgnd()
{<br />
Invalidate(false);<br />
return true;
}
2) When using a custom/ownerdraw for a listbox/listview/treeview, would it be best to use one memory DC for each item as it is being updated, or would it be faster to use a memdc for the entire window and redraw that?
What I use now works, but seems unnecessarily slow, given that progs such as iTunes and WMP are extensively skinned and require lots of drawing, and I notice no flicker there. Is there a trick that I'm not seeing?
Thanks,
Shutter

Invalidate forces a paint message. The point of WM_ERASEBKGND is to NOT generate a paint message when you want to just draw the background. You'd do better to either do nothing, call the base method, or erase the background on the window yourself.

Allocate the back buffer (memory dc and associated bitmap) in create, and resize in WM_SIZE handler. When I need to take resizing into consideration, I never shrink the bitmap. That gives an extra performance boost speedwise, but is perhaps not optimal in terms of memory. Classic tradeoff.
Don't fire invalidations inside your WM_ERASEBKGND handler. Just return TRUE if your aim is to avoid redrawing the background.

It depends a lot on what you are drawing. If you are drawing simple text and/or an icon, then no memory dc is needed. If it's flickering, it's probably the result of your Invalidate() inside the WM_ERASEBKGND handler.

The best trick I know of is to draw everything in a bitmap, and then blit it to the screen on WM_PAINT.
Generally I do:
* allocate a bitmap used for drawing, and I do it once (may be resized if the control/window is to be resized)
* all operations which alter the appearance of the window, draw to the back buffer. Then I invalidate the corresponding window rectangles, where the changes occurred
* in the WM_PAINT handler, I just blit the bitmap to screen
To make it fast as possible, make sure you only blit portions which need to be repainted.
