Good People,
Two quick questions:
1) Can I put texts and graphics in one CView?
2) Are there any tools to layout a CView graphically? For example, supposed I want a layout that is similar to the Code Project homepage. Is there a tool that can help me do that or do I have to write that myself.
Thanks,
BP

1 - of course, you can put anything you like
2 - only if you use a CFormView, in which case you get a dialog template you can lay out.

I'm beginner ,and I've got a exercise .I want to create a text box so we can input text in a rectangle.And the rectangle is created by moving mouse.
Thanks

You might want to start with capturing the mouse. When the user holds down the mouse button and drags, you can compare the POINT at WM_LBUTTONDOWN to the POINT at WM_LBUTTONUP. This will give you a rectangle. From there all you need do is create an EDIT control.

This is pretty advanced for a beginner. Do you know any MFC at all ? Are you using MFC ? Is this homework ? Are you sure you've got it right ?
I've done this, it's far from impossible, but I wouldn't assign it as a 'beginner' task.

I have an MFC exercise . In my application , i have 2 text box , user will fill there. after that , i must get data from 2 text box and write it to file ( Not important there are textfile or binaryfile ) . at the end, i must read data from this file (i have made) , fill it in to 2 another text box. Who can help me . I'm waitting for you reply. my email:rit116@yahoo.com

I'm not going to actually write code for this since it sounds much like a homework assignment. However, you might want to check out MSDN and also check out the CDocument save procedure.

Apart from beeing nonportable. Is there any benefit from using #pragma once over the standard include guards on a modern compiler like VS2005?
There used to e the argument that it is faster because the copmpiler does not have to reopen the include file multiple times. Is this still the case?
I would expect a state of the art compiler to automatically detect include guards which is the case in gcc but the sole existance of pragma once implies this it not the case with MSVC 8.x.
Am I right? What are your best practices?

Do the words "Implementation-Specific" or "platform dependant feature" mean anything to you? Please do yourself a favor and get a copy of the ISO 14882. Then find out why claiming any pragma directive has to be supported by any compliant compiler is complete nonsense. Any compliant compiler has to ignore pragma directives it does not know thats all.

No #pragma is "C++ compliant". The sole purpose of #pragma is to provide a hook for compiler specific control.

Presently, #pragma once is NOT portable, so if you are writing code that might be compiled on another system or for another compiler, it is best to stick with include guards.

I know it's not supposed to be portable. But do you actually know any significant C++ compiler not implementing it? GCC has it and in fact they invented it, although it is commonly blamed on Microsoft, BCC has it, and MSVC has it. I would bet the Intel C++ compiler supports it too. So the non portability is just a theoretical issue. But thats not my question here. My MFC application is not portable by definition. So the question remains: Does it compile faster? If so and the code must be portable using both would be an option.

Sun's compiler doesn't support it. Last I checked, Intel's didn't either. There are several that do, but it is not a standard extension, and it behaves differently on each compiler that does support it.

Then you have nothing to worry about. Every MS compiler after VC6 has supported it.

According to Microsoft's documentation (the link I provided in the previous post), it does compiler faster since the preprocessor has to do less work. Though, a faster compilation is almost a pointless argument for using it in most cases. If you are writing your code for VS.Net (any version), it doesn't matter which you use. Chances are pretty high that you won't notice a significant increase in compilation time for 95% of the apps you write.

Actually, with GCC it is not that simple. They first introduced it, then removed it (or at least there was a warning it was obsolete) and relatively recently re-introduced it.

With #pragma once you can't test whether a header has been included. If you use #ifndef FOO/#define FOO as your include guards, you can use #ifdef FOO elsewhere to see if foo.h has been inclded.
EDIT: I didn't answer the speed question but unless you have really slow outdated hardware, I doubt you'd ever see any noticeable difference in compile times. Also, the ability to test whether a header has been included is nice, which is why I prefer guards to #pragma once even if there is a speed penalty. As with any perf question, you have to measure to be sure, otherwise you're just guessing (like I am right now  )

That was not the question. I'd like to know if there is any compile time benefit to use #pragma once as implied by MSDN. Theoretically there could be an advantage since the header files do not have to be opened multiple times which would be the case whan using defines. But since gcc detects include guards (which makes pragma once obsolete) i'd like to know if VS 2005 has such a feature too.

It may not have been the question but it certainly is an important and related observation. In fact most code that uses #pragma once has include guards first then the #pragma once for this exact reason.

I thought that was for portability.  I mean, what's the point of having include guards and #pragma once? If you just want to know if a file has been included already this would suffice:
#pragma once
#define __FOO_H__

I stand corrected. I don't know what I was smoking when I wrote that.

As Mr. Dunn has mentioned you would need to measure it, and I don't think any of us have.
However, using precompiled header files REALLY does produce noticeable results. That is where I would focus my attention.

Hi all,
I wrote a TCP/IP client & server. The client(s) sends files for the server and the server sends files to the client(s). The server knows with which client it's communicating, by means of the computer name. The problem I'm experiencing is that if multiple clients connect, the computer name(s) of the clients gets overwritten by the next connection. I'm using this structure within a loop without success. I know this is a very though question, because alot of the code is not present, but it's like having an array and trying to keep the correct name with the correct 'connection' whiles in a loop.
<br />
static struct<br />
{<br />
int ConnectSock;
int ConnectState;
ULONG BytesTrans;
ULONG FileLength;
ULONG TimeMark;
char Request[STRING_SIZE];
char FileName[STRING_SIZE];
char PathName[STRING_SIZE];
char PCName[STRING_SIZE];
ULONG BytesRec;
} gConnectData[MAX_CONNECT];<br />
<br />
strcpy((char*)gConnectData[i].PCName,(char*)strDest);<br />
Many thanx in advance

I don't know what you are doing in a loop that doesn't make any sense. If you have multpile connections you will need to use threading or overlapped IO. The structure should be a class and each instance could be stored in a STL collection (map, vector, etc. )

Thank you for the response led mike..
Like I said it's kinda hard to explain what is happening... but I will take what you said into consideration. Thank you.
