I want to add a variable for an edit box. But the only choices are CString, int, long, UINT... is there some way I can have the variable be a float or a double?
|
|
|
|

Yep! Do it the real way  . Tell ClassWizard to use a Control instead of a Variable, and then manipulate the CEdit directly. You will need to call its SetWindowText() and GetWindowText() functions and do the appropriate float <-> string conversions.

Anyone know of the "right" way to format a number in C++ (i.e. using STL)
I have looked up the locale and facet classes but have yet to find an obvious answer/example for some like converting the number 1232344 into "1,232,344"
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks

This is one of the most intricate aspects of C++, and it involves locales, which are very often skipped in most books, even Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language". this Usenet post shows how to do it.

Hi,
I am very new to C++ & have again come unstuck!
I am trying to copy a file from a file selected from an open file dialog to a fixed location & name. The from (open dialog etc) works fine but the destination part dose not:
CopyFile(m_File_In, "c:\\osc_out\\logo.*", FALSE);
I guess this is becouse my destination is not 'null terminated'?
I still get problems if i try:
CString m_File_Out;
m_File_Out="c:\\osc_out\\logo.*";
CopyFile(m_File_In, m_File_Out, FALSE);
If this is becouse it is not null terminated how do i do that?
Thanx

You can only copy one file at a time. Wild card characters are not valied (*).
declaring a string in quotes "", the compiler automatically NULL terminates it for you. Besides you are using a CString so that would NULL terminate it as well.
You will need to change:
m_File_Out="c:\\osc_out\\logo.*";
To something else like:
m_File_Out="c:\\osc_out\\logo.bmp";
Or whatever file type it is because the asterisk (*) is not a legal character to use in a file name.

To expand on what kilowatt said, you can use the splitpath() function to get the file extension from m_File_In.

How do I create a horizontal line on a dialog box? Much like the horizontal line you can add to a menu. I've tried using a group box without caption text with a width of 1. The result is each end has one pixels worth of a corner which is not desirable.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Use the picture control instead, and set its type to frame.
BTW, the picture control is actually a static control with the SS_ETCHEDHORZ style set.

check out http://www.codeproject.com/staticctrl/rotated_bevel.asp. It explains a pitfall with using a static control this way and offers a work around. (and extra features)

I have created a CTabCtrl in a CView and would like to insert a CScrollView into it. I don't quite get it; should I use CWnd::Create or CWnd::CreateEx (I don't think I really need the dwExStyle). I've tried both but it doesn't seem to work (probably just me being stupid and handling wrong variables).
Thank's for all your help

Hi DrZOO,
I am try to create a CtabCtrl in a CView.
Could you tell how you did it?
Thanks

Hello rbc
This is how my code for creating a CTabCtrl in a CView
CRect rcClient(......);
m_TabWeek.Create(TCS_FIXEDWIDTH | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, rcClient, this, 0x1006);
m_TabWeek.SetItemSize(CSize(45, 23));
csTabtext = ctWeek.Format("%W"); // If the label is "static" you only need to set pszText
LPTSTR lpszTabtext = new TCHAR[csTabtext.GetLength()+1];
_tcscpy(lpszTabtext, csTabtext);
TabItem.pszText = lpszTabtext;
if(m_TabWeek.InsertItem(index, &TabItem) == -1)
{
AfxMessageBox("Unable to create week tab");
return false;
}
You're welcome!

I have made a new dialog class in MFC. How do I start it when I have pressed OK on the first dialog?
|
|
|
|
|
am assuming you have a dialog1 that is modal and when the ok button is clicked you want to show dialog2 that is modal
CDialog1::OnOk()
{
CDialog2 dlg2;
dlg2.DoModal();
// the generated code
CDialog::OnOk()
}
if i misunderstood forgive me 
situations to avoid #37:
"good morning ... how many sugars do you take in your coffee ... and what was your name again?"
coming soon: situations to avoid #38: "...and the dog was there too?"

You can use DoModal if you want a modal dialog box. Else you must create a modeless dialog which is not as easy, but still an elementary task once you get the hang of it.
By the way, I'd think you should bring up the new dialog from some other button, because usually the OK button closes the dialog. But then perhaps that's what you want to do anyway.

I tried this
Cmanager mng;
m_pMainWnd = &mng;
nResponse = mng.DoModal();
but the new dialog box disappears as fast as it is initilized.
I'm new at this stuff so i don't know much.

Don't do this. First of all m_pMainWnd is not a member of the CDialog class. I guess you took it out of the CWinApp class using AfxGetApp(). But this should not be done, your program will start showing weird behaviour and might even crash as you are changing the pointer to the main window.
Just do this :-
CNewDialog m_dlg;
m_dlg.DoModal();
That's it

Does anybody know how to convert a CString into a (unsigned short *) ??
Thanks in advance!
|
|
|
|

I'm not really sure why you'd want to do this, but...
CString sDuh = "howdy partner";
unsigned short *pDuh = (unsigned short *)(LPCTSTR) sDuh;
