Hi all,
One of my application I used MFC(actually CFile) to find the file size in easy way.
Now I thought to do it using standard C++. Here is my try.
size_t file_size;
ifstream in_file;
in_file.open("C:\\temo_file.txt", ios_base::in);
if(in_file.is_open())
{
file_size = in_file.seekg(-1, ios_base::end).tellg();
cout << file_size;
}
My question is, this code gives misses one byte. Can you guys give me any reason for it.
Thanks
I appreciate your help all the time...

should be
file_size = in_file.seekg(0, ios_base::end).tellg();
BTW you may also use GetFileSize [^].

Thanks, so my attempt is not bad.
Is that GetFileName is standard C++. I'm confusing with those.

Nope. It is provided by Win32 API. If you just need to avoid MFC that's is fine, on the other hand, if you need to be stuck with C++ standard, then use ifstream.

Since I start to learn C++, confusing with this. Is that best way to work with standard C++? Sometimes I feel that use of MFC easy than standard C++, and other way too. Appreciate your explanation on it.

Using C++ standard you write code that will execute also on different platforms (for instance Linux). On the other hand, if you need to exploit Windows not-portable functionalities (like the GUI components1) the you have to use Win32 API or MFC. GUI development with MFC is usually simpler.
(1) There are exceptions: for instance QT [^] is a framework that enable you to write portable GUI code.

Ok, as I said now I have mixture of them. If I want to learn standard C++ from where I should begin.

What about "The C++ Programming Language" [^] book of Stroustrup?

Hi all,
Is there any option to change the number of rows and cols dynamically in a flexgrid??
Thanks,
Regards,
Sunil Kumar

I don't know in flexgrid, but in Listctrl I made it by deleting all and redrawing the control with the new number of elements.
Greetings.

Changes Rows and Cols property.

u can use the functions SetRows and SetCols to set the rows and cols dynamically...

I am learning to use pageheap.
I created a MFC App(pageheaptestdlg.exe) with memory corruptiong bug and compiled it in release mode.
I enabled pageheap by gflags /p /enable pageheaptestdlg /full
Then run debugger ntsd -g -x pageheaptestdlg.
It has something like:
===========================================================
VERIFIER STOP 00000008: pid 0xDF8: corrupted suffix pattern
015B1000 : Heap handle
01682FF8 : Heap block
00000005 : Block size
00000000 :
===========================================================
However it is not the same for console app.
I created a Win32 Console Application with memory corruption bug and compiled it in release mode.
I enabled pageheap by gflags /p /enable pageheaptest /full
Then run debugger ntsd -g -x pageheaptest.
There is no message regarding the corrupted suffix pattern. Why?
Source code:
#include "stdafx.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int len = 5;
char *a = new char[len];
a[len] = 6;
delete [] a;
return 0;
}

Hello and good day. I have an application which writes writes an image in a picture box and does processing in it about every 200ms. Now, I need to show the image being written into another application's picture box. I'm currently looking for ways to do this and currently I'm thinking of using clipboard. I want to know if there are better ways of doing this. Looking for any suggestions/solutions regarding this.
Thank you in advance.

How you planning to synchronize two applications??
|
|
|
|
|
i was just thinking of using mutex if I am going to implement the clipboard solution.
|
|
|
|

I feel clipboard would be used by many applications so avoid it.
You can use memory mapped files instead. It all depends on your requirements but it just a suggestion.

yes, that might cause problems later on.

thank you for the suggestion. I'll check this one out. though from what I've read, this might be slower than a standard file I/O. The image in the application is refreshed per 200ms. But I'll try to make some dummy application and check if it works. Again, thanks a lot.

one more suggestion.
You can have a common DLL and have one static variable of (HBITMAP/CBitmap/Image/Bitmap) may be you have to use pixel data in the form of byte array or someting similar and use the dll in both the applications.
I hope it makes sense.

yes, I somehow get the point. But does that work? I mean if I apply the DLL in those two applications, although they use the same DLL, will the static variable that both the applications pointing to will be the same? If you can give me some sort of reference on this implementation it will be a great help.
Thank you very much.
already found some good samples here. No need to answer the questions. Thanks again

You can also use shared data segment in dll.
