Hi all!
How to create a setup file for another program in Visual C++?
plzz help 
|
|
|
|
|
If you have Visual Studio then it should have a wizard that allows you to create Setup applications (quickly as well).
Otherwise, just write one.
Mark.

If not...
you can check the NSIS or the Innosetup programs.

I need to write a C program that prints a letter made of letters. It's like a mosaic.
Ex:
A
AAA
AA AA
AA AA
AA AA
AAAAAAAAAAA
AA AA
AA AA
I can make a letter like this, with a matrix or just with printf. The hardest part is that it needs to print words made of these letters. It's hard cause with printf you always write \n at the end and you cant print 2 letters next to each other. Only one below another.
So I'm begging you  If you can find a sample program or give me a tip or a full program at best 
I'll be really gratefull
Thanks in advance

there are functions that allow you positioning along the screen like a goto (x,y). So you can continue using your methode of the matrix, but insteads of "printf" use every position in your matrix as a square (let's say...) 10x10 pixels, so you go through the matrix moving the cursor in 10 pixels on every i++ and writing or not writting as you need.

I'm building a VC++6 MFC application and trying to run it I received the message in the Subject line:
stack overflow
What can I do to avoid such messages?
How to check the stack and to set it.
...in VC++6, please...

Are you using some kind of recursion ? If yes, check if the recursion ends at some point. If that's not the case, you will never end calling the function which need some storage on the stack, until the stack is full.
That's one of the possible cause of stack overflow.
|
|
|
|
|
No. It isn't that case. Actually, I modified from the previous stable version some tables, making them permanentlly, instead of initialising locally with new or malloc().
Can be a possible cause, too many global variables?

It's possible that your program itself can allocate too much memory on the stack. I once wrote a performance test driver to perform a bunch of operations by iterating through a memory cache with a HUGE array of integers. I believe it compiled OK, but at runtime, it failed with that error. Check that you aren't allocating any huge arrays, and by that I mean in the area of 30000+.

If you've eliminated any recursion problems and simply need a
larger stack, you can set a larger stack size in your linker
options. Note the default stack size is 1MB.
See /STACK (Stack Allocations)[^]

Putting them on the stack didn't make them any more permanent than using dynamic
allocation.
In general, it may be better to use dynamic allocation (the new operator)
for large objects instead of using the stack. That way you don't have
to micro-manage your stack size. You want your stack to have some
breathing room. Use the heap - that's what it's for.
What's considered a "large" object? Opinions vary

Finally I resolved the problems by dinamically alocating the "guilty" tables.
A final question. I didn't find in my "old" VC++6 how to use the
/STACK
option for the linker. Do you know how?
Thanks for all

I don't remember where it's at in VC6. Should be somewhere in the linker
settings for your project - look for a stack size option

During the creation of my Combo Box I entered the data into it for selection of the User. How do I find out what the User selected?
Please provide some code please.(VS 6.0 and VS 2008 C++)
A C++ programming language novice, but striving to learn
|
|
|
|
|
Do you want to get value or focus on combobox?
|
|
|
|
|
When the user changes the selected item, the parent will receive a CBN_SELCHANGE
notification (in a WM_COMMAND message). In response to that notification,
or at some other time you need the selected item from the combo box, you
could do something like this:
LRESULT SelectedIndex = SendMessage(hwndComboBox, CB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0);
if (CB_ERR != SelectedIndex)
{
LRESULT StringLength = SendMessage(hwndComboBox, CB_GETLBTEXTLEN, SelectedIndex, 0);
TCHAR *pSelectedString = new TCHAR[StringLength + 1];
SendMessage(hwndComboBox, CB_GETLBTEXT, SelectedIndex, (LPARAM)pSelectedString);
delete[] pSelectedString;
}
All Windows controls have associated messages used to manipulate them. Unless you
have them all memoized, I recommend keeping a link to this: Windows Controls[^]
or know where to find it in your local documentation.

Hey!
Well i dun ve visual studio 08. But i can provide you a help in visual studio 6.0.
Now as you have already entered data to the combo box.Add new variable for the Combo Box in class wizard. it can be of type VALUE or CONTROL. Let it be VALUE and type CString. This variable will hold the data present in the Combo Box.Let the variable is ComboBox_Variable.
Now to check what user has selected, you can put a simple event in your program which will help in finding what user has selected from the box.
so you can add a button which will show a simple messagebox depending on the combo box data. Like a button named "Message".
Add an event handler for it and you can use the following code.
<br />
CString example;<br />
example = ComboBox_Variable;<br />
if(example=="Data-1")<br />
MessageBox("Data-1 selected by user");<br />
else if(example=="Data-2")<br />
MessageBox("Data-2 selected by user");<br />
You can use switch statement too!
I hope Combo Box will be clear to you now!

I have DVD-Compliant Mpeg-2 Files that I am interested in "turning" into .Vob files.
I know that these are basically the same and that the difference is in the "headers" of these two file types.
All of the Third-Party SDK's i have found demux and remux the mpeg before converting it to .vob.
I know that there are open-source libraries that create vob files and unofficial specifications for .vob files but for something so simple how can there not be a library or sdk that can save me the troubles?
Bottom line - I am looking for Code\module\dll\sdk that converts Dvd-Compliant Mpeg-2 files to .vob files.
Thank you,

class Text {
public:
void bad( const string &parm ) const;
private:
char *_text;
};
void Text::bad( const string &parm ) const
{
_text = parm.c_str(); // error: _text cannot be modified
for ( int ix = 0; ix < parm.size(); ++ix )
_text[ix] = parm[ix]; // bad style but not an error
}
this example show a pointer refer change a data member in the
const member function , why?
|
|
|
|
|
the function is declared as const (void Text::bad(const string& parm) const; ), that means that it is not allowed to modify any members of the Text class.
exception is with the mutable members however.

_text is a char*. The const member promises not to change any of the member variables. Your first assignment changes _text to point to a different string. The second assignment (in the loop) does not change _text, but the content of the string that _text points to (btw, I assume that _text has been assigned to a valid string at some point in code not shown, otherwise the second assignment will corrupt your memory).
const pointers can point to mutable objects. You may change content of the object, but not the content of the pointer.
Cheers

Hello,
I have run this logic on turboc++ 3.0 and it is working fine on it but
its not running on msvs2008 c++.
the code does this::
the fun strrep takes 3 char arrays the i.e main,sub,rep.
the sub array is to be found out i the main array and if found its index is taken on found pos,(this is achieved by the searchsub function separately)
then the sub array is replaced in the main array by the rep array,and the rep array can be of different size from the sub array.
i am not able to assign the value like this *temp=*main,where main and
temp are char pointers.
there is a runtime access violation error on msvs..that i am not
able to work out how to resolve..
kind attention and feedback would be invaluable for me...
thanks...the code is as below..
<code>// C++Test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
using namespace std;
int i;
int searchsub(char mainstr[],char fndstr[])
{
int mainlen=0,sublen=0,flag=-1,index=0;
for( i=0;mainstr[i]!='\0';i++)
mainlen++;
for( i=0;fndstr[i]!='\0';i++)
sublen++;
for(i=0;i<mainlen;i++)>
{
index=i;
if(mainstr[i]==fndstr[0])
{
for(int k=0;k<sublen;k++)>
{
if(mainstr[i++]!=fndstr[k])
{
flag=0;
break;
}
else flag=1;
}
if(flag==1)
break;
i=index;
}
}
if(flag==1)
return index;
else return -1;
}
char * strrep(char * main,char* sub,char* rep)
{
int sublen=0,mainlen=0,replen=0;
char* save=main;
char*temp;
for( i=0;*rep!='\0';i++,rep++)
replen++;
rep=rep-i;
int index=searchsub(main,sub);
for( i=0;*sub!='\0';i++,sub++)
sublen++;
sub=sub-i;
int reststrindex=index+sublen;
