Try std::set instead of std::vector

std::set holds unique values. use std::multiset to emulate a sorted vector more closely..

Do I need to create a window for an ActiveX component to display directshow video? If yes, what is the simplest way?
I have a directshow player, that I want to turn into an activex component.
The directshow player needs a windows handle of type HWND to display its image in that window.
I'm using ATL to create the ActiveX component. Currently I try to figure out, how to output my image on the surface of the activeX component.
- create a window or not?
- which handle to use?
// hand over the window handle
myVideo.setHwnd(hwnd);
// int the player
myVideo.initGraph();
// play
myVideo.playGraph();

Hi all,
I know STL enough to understand containers and iterators but going from Predicates to Unary/Binary and vice versa is a bit unclear to me.
I have
<br />
class CMyClass<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
inline CString GetID() const {return m_csID;}<br />
protected:<br />
CString m_csID;<br />
};<br />
Now suppose I want an array of CMyClass* and detect whether an object of a specified ID already exist. How can I use find_if ?
<br />
vector<CMyClass*> myarray;<br />
LPCTSTR lpszNewID = _T("NEWID");<br />
if (find_if(myarray.begin(), myarray.end(), IsID(lpszNewID)???) != myarray.end())<br />
Any idea how to implement and properly use the "IsID(LPCTSTR lpszID)" part? 
Thank you

Thanks for the link, I have been looking for such reading material. And the download is free

Here's how I'd do it:
class IsID : public unary_function<CMyClass*, bool>
{
public:
IsID(LPCTSTR pID) : m_pID(pID) {}
bool operator()(const CMyClass *pClass) const
{
return pClass->GetID() == m_pID;
}
private:
LPCTSTR m_pID;
};
This code assumes the following (in addition to what you must already have):
#include <functional>
This is called a functor - It has a few important advantages over a normal function:
- It's can be called like a function but it can have state.
- It's faster - Most compilers can't inline through a function pointer but have no trouble doing do so via operator() (the application operator).

Wouldn't a "normal" function object work just as well? E.g.:
struct IsID
{
LPCTSTR id_;
IsID(LPCTSTR id) : id_(id) { }
bool operator()(const CMyClass* p) const
{
return pClass->GetID() == id_;
}
};
}
...
if (find_if(myarray.begin(), myarray.end(), IsID(string)) == myarray.end())
{
}
I am still relatively new to STL, so am keen to learn what advantages deriving from unary_function will give you. Do you have more details and examples?
|
|

|

Yeah this would work just fine but it's not "adaptable". STL functions such as bind1st and bind2st reply on certain typedefs (metadata if you like) being present to work. The simplest way to supply them is to derive from unary_function or binary_function.
Steve

|
|
|
|
True. I would just add that boost::bind does not require the typedefs, so if you are using boost, this is not an issue.
My programming blahblahblah blog. If you ever find anything useful here, please let me know to remove it.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, Boost's Bind and Lambda libraries add considerably to what can be done with STL alone.
Steve

|

|

Oh that's what I was missing! I have seen a lot of functors examples but they rarely had their own constructor. Thanks!

The find_if can work if you use a good smart pointer that uses value semantics for the comparison.
Check out the following link:
http://axter.com/smartptr
The above smart pointer uses value semantics, so that the pointee is compated instead of the pointer address.

I found when I have subclassed a child control( like tree view control), the child cannot be sure it can receive all the WM_CONTEXTMENU message, sometimes the WM_CONTEXTMENU gone. but the parent dialog can always receive the WM_CONTEXTMENU. the message like notify message can be sent to child all the time.
Now I handle the WM_CONTEXTMENU in the parent, and then pass it to the child, this way is a little sucks.
Someone can help me to pass the WM_CONTEXTMENU to child?;P;P;)

Hi
I want to pass a member function to the std::for_each algorithm but strguggling. I've seen where you can use std::mem_fun to bind a member function of the 'contained' class, but I want a member function of a different class...code below shows what I want to do and code after that shows my work around.
I could use a for..next loop, but don't think I should when these algorithms are so d*** neat!
What I want to do....
class myClass
{
private:
void DoSomethingWithString( std::string *pString );
public:
void Go()
{
std::set <std::string > myStrings;
myStrings.insert("ABC");
myStrings.insert("DEF");
myStrings.insert("GHI");
std::for_each(myStrings.begin() , myStrings.end() , );
}
};
and a work around....
class myClass
{
class DoStringThing
{
private:
myClass* m_class;
public:
DoStringThing( myClass* class_param) : m_class( class_param)
{
}
void operator()( std::string &filename)
{
m_class->DoSomethingWithString( &filename );
}
};
friend class DoStringThing;
private:
void DoSomethingWithString( std::string *pString );
public:
void Go()
{
std::set <std::string> myStrings;
myStrings.insert("ABC");
myStrings.insert("DEF");
myStrings.insert("GHI");
std::for_each(myStrings.begin() , myStrings.end() , DoStringThing(this) );
}
};
So, how can I call a member of the class that is executing the for_each...?
Regards
Angel

Correct. Function object is a good solution in this example.

Hi - thanks for the answer. I really want to know how to call a member function instead of using a functor.
Is it possible?
Cheers

There are more elegant solutions with function objects.
Kuphryn

Yes, I know, but I would still like to now how to use a member function....

Definitely! Update when you figure out the solution without overloaded operator().

Also, there is bind2nd().

Hello Angel1058,
One way you can achieve the use of a member function is to declare a class deriving from std::string :
class MyString : public std::string
{
public :
MyString()
{
}
MyString(const char* pstring) :
std::string(pstring)
{
}
~MyString()
{
}
void DoSomethingWithString()
{
std::cout << c_str() << std::endl;
}
};
Yes, you basically extend the std::string with a public member function named DoSomethingWithString().
Then in myClass::Go(), you use MyString instead of std::string :
void Go()
{
std::set<MyString> myStrings;
myStrings.insert("ABC");
myStrings.insert("DEF");
myStrings.insert("GHI");
std::for_each
(
myStrings.begin(),
myStrings.end(),
mem_fun_ref(&MyString::DoSomethingWithString)
);
}
Yes, you would have seen it by now, use mem_fun_ref() as the predicate for for_each(). Basically, MyString::DoSomethingWithString() wsill be called on each contained object in myStrings (which is a set of MyString objects).
Give it a try.
Best Regards,
Bio.
