How can i tell compiler to treate TCHAR as WCHAR.
|
|
|
|
|
#define UNICODE, and TCHAR will become WCHAR.
That's what TCHAR is for.

But how can i do as at run time.
Actually i want my program enable for unicode and ascii.
So i have to decide at run time what TCHAR should (WCHAR or CHAR ?)

The whole point of TCHAR is to allow you to write code which can, at compile time, use ANSII or UNICODE, depending on the #define.
You can't decide at run time, unless you write a templated class that switches between the two. Or, you can use bstr_t, it swaps between them and is agnostic, whereas TCHAR is compile time agnostic.

Can you tell me why you need to use both? Perhaps there is an alternative.

Actually my program is to extract message from a file that can be unicode or ascii.

I see. The choose either a UNICODE or ANSI build and make good use of MultiByteToWideChar() and WideCharToMultiByte(). Another point to note is with the TCHAR macros, VS defines _UNICODE but TCHAR expects UNICODE. Add this before your #include <tchar.h>
#ifdef _UNICODE<br />
#define UNICODE<br />
#endif

but this work only for compile time .but whenever i sacn the file then i have to decide unicode or ascii.How can i do this
|
|

Your program MUST be compiled as either unicode OR ascii, you cannot change this at runtime. If you are reading files, you must convert the file to either unicode or ascii to match your program. Read my previous post, I gave you the two functions which do the converting.

If i choose UNICODE build it will not support by window 95 then????

From the MSDN-text for MultiByteToWideChar():
Requirements
Windows NT/2000/XP: Included in Windows NT 3.1 and later.
Windows 95/98/Me: Included in Windows 95 and later.
Header: Declared in Winnls.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Kernel32.lib.
You will need to read in the MSDN anyway.

Not unless you use the "Layer for Unicode" api. This is just a dll you link against and ship with your program.
The best option is to do an ANSI build and convert the UNICODE files you are reading. Be warned though, not all UNICODE can be converted to ANSI, you might find it better to use a multibyte encoding like UTF8 and convert everything ( ANSI and UNICODE ) to this.

Hi,
I need to add MFC controls dynamically.
Can any one show me any article about it ?
Thanks.
Nice things do nice works

CWnd::Create()
Can you explain what "dynamically" means for you?
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

And also see CreateWindow

Im making a game, there are lots of objects, all made from the same struct, so to tell the difference, i put 'char* ID;' into the struct, and set it to something like "Player" when the Player object is created.
In the debug version, when i get to a point where i have to check its the player, i use:
if(Current->ID == "Player")
And it would return true.
In the release version, it comes back false. So, what do i need to do to make the strings match in the release version?

Using strings is a bit slow, why not have an enum of object types. Also ID is a bad name as it suggests an identifier not a type
You are compairing pointers not the contents of memory at that location. Im not sure why it works in debug
use the strcmp() function and remember it returns 0 if they are the same
if(strcmp(Current->ID, "Player") == 0)
System.IO.Path.IsPathRooted() does not behave as I would expect

Hm, i get what your saying about ID, perhaps i'll change it.
Thanks though.
Im still getting used to C++, been doing C# where comparing strings is easy.

It would have been easy here too, if you had used string classes (like std::string or MFCs CString).
They have an overloaded compasison-operator doing things the "intuitivly right" way.

from where ID is coming.. and is "Player" is hardcoded...

Well im just using strcmp() now, but ID was set elsewhere, like this:
Main->ID = "Player", and yes, its hardcoded.
The if statement is in a Function, which is given the pointer to a struct, in this case 'Main'

Hi all. I have gotten a nesting error from VC and i dont know what i need to do to get what i need done and fix this problem.
The error
[code]
fatal error C1061: compiler limit : blocks nested too deeply
[/code]
What im doing is making a bunch of pre-programmed options. So i have a lot of if/else statements. Something like 30-40 or more. If there is a way to make it more simple i'd like to know. Something like using one main command to call on different functions. Thanx in advance!

Without seeing your code or knowing more precisely what you are doing, all I can say is
WOW! >128 levels of nesting! (I had to look it up - never heard of that error  )
