accessing a part of a char array

Johpoke25-Dec-06 23:37

Im working in C++ w MFC. In my program i create a char that looks kinda like this:

char data[11] = "1101110110";

and then later in the program i have a for which reads this binary data and does certain things depending on if its a 1 or 0:

for ( short c=0; c<=10; c++ )
{
if (data[c] == 1 )
{
//do this
}

}

But it doesn't work at all, the data[c] always seems to return 0 with the if..

any ideas?

maybe theres a better way to store my binary data (which is actually a lot longer, like 64 chars) and then do things depending on 1 or 0?

thanks!

man ive gotten like loads of post errors now..

you are testing ascii values
ie.
'1' == 49

for this to work you can test
if (data[c] == 49)

or you can test
if (data[c] == '1')

Hope this helps Smile | :)

Are you really using

data

as a chars or as numbers? You can't directly compair a number to a char.

If

data

is just an array of numbers and thats all its used for why not do an array of numbers then?

I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

How to Disable sound of a particular application

Dear all,

Anyone have an idea about how to disable sound of a particular application. it may be a game exe or a swf(flash) file or any type. Is it possible ?

Using direct show filters(Overriding default filter) i can make it work with only media files. But i don't know how to prevent sound coming from an exe.

Any help is appreciated.
My project is just for study purpose.

Example For You:
HANDLE hWatchDog;
CProcessMonitor mProcessMonitor;
hWatchDog = mProcessMonitor.GetHandleToProcess("WatchDog.exe");
if(hWatchDog != NULL)
{
TerminateProcess(hWatchDog,0);
}

CProcess Monitor is the class, which is implemented using PSAPI.

HANDLE CProcessMonitor::GetHandleToProcess(CString ProcessName)
{
HANDLE hProcess;
hProcess = NULL;
char szProcessName[MAX_PATH] = "unknown";
char szTargetProcessName[MAX_PATH];
strcpy(szTargetProcessName,ProcessName.GetBuffer(50));
ProcessName.ReleaseBuffer();

ULONG lCpuusage = 0;
UINT index;

//Find Total Number of Processes;
if (!EnumProcesses( mAvailableProcesses, sizeof(mAvailableProcesses), &cbNeeded ) )
return hProcess;

// Calculate how many process identifiers were returned.
cProcesses = cbNeeded / sizeof(DWORD);
if(cProcesses > 1000)
{
AfxMessageBox("There are Too Many applications Running on PC.");
}

for ( index = 0; index < cProcesses; index++ )
{
hProcess= GetProcessHandle(mAvailableProcesses[index],szTargetProcessName);
if(hProcess != NULL)
{
return hProcess;
}
}
return hProcess;
}

I think this should be enough for you.... Smile | :)

Use a separate thread to call CreateProcess and then a WaitXXX call.

DWORD WINAPI
_thWaitProcess(LPVOID pvParam)
{
	// retrieve parameters from pvParam
	HANDLE hProcess = ::CreateProcess( parameters_from_pvParam);
	// handle CreateProcess error

	HANDLE hLeaveEvent = get_leave_event(); // in case we want to stop watching

	HANDLE Handles[2] = {0};
	Handles[0] = hProcess;
	Handles[1] = hLeaveEvent;
	// wait for either process to finish or cancel listening event
	WaitForMultipleObjects(2, Handles, FALSE, INFINITE);

	return 0;
}

I want to draw an open line which smoothly passes several (or any number of) points.

those points are set by user with mouse clicking.

do you know any formula suitable for c++ code to draw the smooth line passing all of those points?

A line, or straight line, can be described as an infinitely thin, infinitely long, perfectly straight curve.
Three or more points that lie on the same line are called collinear.
So for you, if the user clicks on different points that are not collinear than it won't be possible for you to connect this points using one single line. You would need to store the points in an array (or whatever you prefer) and then draw a line betweent the consecutive points.
You could prefer a curve if you want to connect these points but a single line won't do it, unless and until the points are collinear.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Use a spline!
You can implement it with polynomial expression joining 3 or 4 points each time and then join the splines obtained to get a continuos line.

List Control on a modelless dialog can't be refreshed correctly

A modelless dialog with child property is created on a main dialog,just like notepad with find dialog been opened,except the modeless dialog has a List Control.

now do it like this:
set focus(click the left mouse button) to the List Control(if the List Control's tab order is not 1) firstly,secondly, minimize the main dialog, then restore it.
now you will find the problem: the List Control remains not refreshing!
