Re: CList::RemoveAt - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

This function has been replaced in Windows Vista by [IFileOperation^]

have a look at copy Item sample [IFileOperation Introduction^]

I want it to work in XP too. I think IFileOperation is supported only in vista.

So use one or the other depending on the OS.

Is there any other way i can copy files, showing a copying progress and allowing the user to cancel the operation, so that I can avoid this problem in vista?

What about CopyFileEx()?

Hi,

I am passing the offset in SetFilePointer(offset) that does not exist in a file but this function is succedding. If this offset is not exist, it should not succeed.

code is:

<br />
LARGE_INTEGER     largeSector ={NULL};<br />
	largeSector.QuadPart =ullPosition;<br />
<br />
	largeSector.LowPart =SetFilePointer(m_hHandleTOLogicalDrive,largeSector.LowPart,&largeSector.HighPart,FILE_BEGIN);<br />
	if ( largeSector.LowPart==INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER && (GetLastError())!=NO_ERROR )<br />
	{<br />
		cout<<"unable to set pointer";<br />
		return FALSE;<br />
	}<br />
	else<br />
		return TRUE;<br />

From MSDN [^]:

It is not an error to set a file pointer to a position beyond the end of the file. The size of the file does not increase until you call the SetEndOfFile, WriteFile, or WriteFileEx function. A write operation increases the size of the file to the file pointer position plus the size of the buffer written, which results in the intervening bytes uninitialized.

Hello!!
What happens to a CList when using RemoveAt(POSITION) . Does the list re-arrange itself to fill that gap?? If not, how do you do it to remove an internal node?
Does it have to be done manually, remove a node, and then shift the rest of elements one position??

piul wrote:

Yes and no. The good thing from a List vs an array is (in grosso modo): that every node is pointing to next and previous node. So when you delete one position, you dont have to rearrange anything, just modify 2 pointers the "next" in the previous node and the "previous" in the next node. Then the node in the middle is not in the list anymore and can be just deleted without problems.

You dont have to move anything, a list is not an array.

thanksfully it does, hey !!!

do you write classes letting the user manage its content himself ? Unsure | :~

BTW, why don't you test it ?

[VisualCalc][Binary Guide][CommDialogs] | [Forums Guidelines]

Thankfully it is a list and not an array. Therefore, no shifting of elements is required for a delete operation. It is just changing where a single 'next' pointer is pointing to. For example, if you delete the 3rd element, what internally happens is, the next pointer of the second element points to the 4th element and so the 3rd one is 'dropped'.

Title: please stomuch me
if i have
string s[7];
s[1]="hello"
...
s[7]="how are you"
can i trace s[1] by loop and select specified item as example i, want to select e from s[1]="hello"..... the question is : this process possible or impossible!? I hope help me.......thanks - sofia_111

So! Then, do I have to modify manually the Next pointer of the previous and the Prevpointer of the next or not??

I did do a test, and I think it didn't do this itself!

You don't have to do anything. You just call the RemoveAt(POSITION) and the rest of the dirty stuff is automatically done for you. Good know? Smile | :)
