Normally this should not be a problem. To me it seems that you block your application somehow to proceed. I think system() is a call that blocks progress of the program invoking it. So while Notepad is active repainting will be prevented. Maybe using ShellExecute() in stead of system() will solve your problem.

Make sure the ES_WANTRETURN is set on the edit control. Without this the dialog handles the keystroke and interprets it as a press of the default button (the button with a darker border around it). The dialog editor allows you to set this style.

Set the "Want return" property of the edit box to TRUE.

Can you explain more? You say you've got a remote database, I assume the term "server" refers to the machine it's on - So without the server there is no database?!?

Hi,

I've one USB-to-Parallel cable. May I know if there's a way to write a VC++ program such that it's able to access individual bit of the parallel side?

The program is to be run in WinXP, Win2K, and possibly Win98.

Thanks.

i have intro to comp. programming and i was wondering if someone could help me out with a code here. its probably very easy, but im just not understanding.

Write a program that calculates the fine for a speeding ticket. Choose a base fine for violating the speed limit and an additional fine for each mile per hour over the speed limit. You decide what the speed limit is (be sure to tell the user what it is!) and the user enters the speed they are traveling (guaranteed to be over the limit). Output the miles per hour they were over and the fine.

it would b greatly appreciated. Smile | :)

First you need to define the bases: speed limit and fine. Take this as an example:

const int SpeedLimit = 100; // 100 Miles Per Hour is the speed limit
const int BaseFine   = 500; // You pay 500 dolars (wow =P) if you reach 100 MPH
const int Additional = 10;  // 10 dolars for each extra mile

Then lets say that someone was running at 110MPH. It would be

int ActualSpeed = 110;
Ticket = BaseFine + ( ActualSpeed - SpeedLimit ) * Additional;

But be aware that this is only true if ActualSpeed is grater or equal to SpeedLimit, if it's lower you will wind up getting negative results, meaning that the cop would have to give money to the driver :-> Poke tongue | ;-P

Hope it helps

Is there exist a data structure or Algorithms which support operation such like Insert AND DeleteMinimum in constant time?

I have seen that almost data structure I known so far does DeleteMinimum in O(log N) in worse case. but no algorithms can do this in O(1).

If the data structure is sorted, then you could achieve O(N) for deletion.

I think you will find that Insert in constant time and DeleteMinimum in constant time are mutually exclusive.

An unsorted linked list (or even a vector) will allow for Insert to occur in constant time (just add the new element to the end of the list), but DeleteMinimum would require a search to find the value and could not be done in constant time.

On the other hand a sorted linked list would let you perform DeleteMinimum in constant time (because you know the minimum value will always be the first [or last] element of the list). Insert into the sorted list, however, could not be done in constant time since you would have to determine where in the list to place a new entry.

So, you have a trade off. Do you want Insert to be efficient or DeleteMinimum to be efficient? You need to understand how an application will use data in order to choose the optimum data structure.

Dan

The one you are showing is forward slash. You can print it by including it in the string.

For backslash you have to give two of them together '\\'. This will print a backslash character.

' can be printed as usual.

Array size

Hi there..

Anybody knows a way (if it is even possible) to determine an array's size. Something like this:

int GetSize( int* pArray )
{
  // Should return the number of elements on the array
}

int main( void )
{
 int* pArray;

 pArray = new int[ 20 ]; // MARK

 printf( "%d\n", GetSize( pArray ) * sizeof( int ) ); // Should output the number of bytes allocated at MARK

 return 0;
}

Michael Dunn14-Mar-06 16:53

You can determine the number of elements in a staticly-allocated array:

#define countof(x) (sizeof(x)/sizeof((x)[0]))
int arr[10];
size_t cElements = countof(arr);  // cElements gets 10

You cannot do this in a function, however, it's just not possible in C. That's why a function always takes an array (or pointer) and a count of elements when it has to know the array's size.

Once you pass the array to the function it decays to pointer and size information is lost. Why not use a std::vector instead?
