Hi!
I'm looking for a collection of useful functions finalised
to joining paths tokens, retrieving file extension, file name
or parent directory and so on...
Just working with string (or char) data.
Where can I find them?
(I'm using Windows platform, not a Linux one)
Tnx
Mike

I don't know if you can use Windows APIs, but these always work well for me...

There's some wacky functions in that list. It's nice of Microsoft to give us such a varied list of functions, they've helped me out a lot.
But, there's functions in there that I can't figure a use for...
Like, why would someone use PathUndecorate[^] or PathMakePretty[^]
The other side, there's some great stuff in there too. PathAppend, PathAddBackslash come to mind.

PathUndecorate could be very usefull when copying files out of the IE cache. PathMakePretty is wierd, mostly because it only works on all uppercase path. I only discoverred this wonderfull collection of functions within the last month, after doing nearly all my path manipulations by hand for 20 years, except for splitpath/makepath from the CRT.

Do you want to show these windows or want to create them of other application?

I want to create them and show them from the other application.

If you want different CFormViews in just one Application, this[^] will help you.
If you want an Application to call another application, then you should use ShellExecute or thread functions.

I think he needs to make and show forms of other applications.

Hi all,
Is there anyone who knows add-in for VC2005 to make snapshot of current project before serious changes made to the project?
Regards,

How about using a source control system ? That's what they are (partly) made for.

I agree -- version control is what you need! Most of us can't live without it...
Commonly what you do - is store all of your code and project materials in it's special database. As you make changes, you check-in those changes to the master copy -- which lives on a server.
You can also create branches -- which basically makes a snapshot of the master. You can then work on the snapshot, make changes and check them back in without altering the master.
Once your happy with your changes, you merge them back into the master... incorporating these changes in one transaction.
Within the masters, you can record labels (put down a marker) and also do all kinds of reporting -- like who changed what or when did this change...
There's various products out there -- some of them are more difficult to manage. I currently use SVN... have used CVS and Microsoft SourceSafe.... SVN is the best so far... but any idiot could install a SourceSafe system...
I know there's other choices out there.

Dear all
i have the following class header
#include "stdafx.h"
#include < iostream >
using namespace std;
class test
{
private:
int n1;
int n2;
public:
test(int n1,int n2);
output(std::ostream& outs);
};
VS 2005 display the following error
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
for
output(std::ostream& outs);
any tips
i searched the net and i didn't find any solutions
thanks all
bye

you have to have a return type for your class methods.
Use void if there's no applicable type...
class test
{
private:
int n1;
int n2;
public:
test(int n1,int n2);
void output(std::ostream& outs);
};

So I have following problem (all of these are Win32 app, all MFCs, Visual 2005 applications, C++)
Application A (third-party) uses two of our dlls (which are plug-ins for A), let's say AppAplug1.dll and AppAplug2.dll. These dlls use another of our dll, Common.dll.
Version 1.0 of Common.dll is installed in AppAplug1.dll's directory, and is loaded using /DELAYLOAD by AppAplug1.dll
Version 2.1 of Common.dll is installed in AppAplug2.dll's directory, and is loaded using /DELAYLOAD by AppAplug2.dll
When I debug into AppAplug1.dll code, some function calls jumps into Common.dll Version 1 and sometimes into Common.dll Version 2.1, which brings upp following problems: some static variables are then initialised by a function call in Version 2.1, and used in Version 1, in which they are then not initilaised -> bad !
I thought processes would have their own memory space, how come I can "exchange" data like this ? How can I avoid that ?
Thanks,

can't the 2 DLLs using Common.dll use the same version, so, mount a one a only version of the DLL ?
|

Nope, because customers have different versions of the .dlls.
Plus, this would not solve the problem: I tested it with App2 using the same version of the .dll (but not the same .dll, so two .dlls in two different locations), and it failed, since App1 and App2 seem to access randomly to either the one or the other Common.dll.
C'est la merde.
