to be very clear here is what happens with this code:

char* pArray = new char[123];

a variable pArray of type pointer to char is created on the stack.
then, a block of 123 chars is allocated on the heap.
the address of the just allocated memory is stored into the pointer variable you have on the stack (pArray).

so, if you put such a code into a scope, and if you don't free the memory allocated before going out of scope, the variable on the stack is destroyed, but not the memory block on the heap.
so you just loose the reference (the address) to your allocated memory on the heap, hence the memory leak...

To make things even more simple, there's only one little rule to remember:
everything that is allocated with new should be deleted using delete; everything that is allocated with new...[] should be deleted using delete[] and everything that is allocated with malloc should be deleted with free.
For the rest, you don't have to care (and Toxcct explained that a bit more in details).

Ownerdrawn Listbox

Hi, I'm looking for a way to do a completely owner-drawn Listbox in C++ with just the Windows API and without MFC. The LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED allows me to draw the items in the list, but is there a way for me to owner-draw the entire listbox (along with the scroll bars, etc)? Or do I have to subclass the listbox and draw it when it receives WM_PAINT?

Thanks!

Well owner draw does what it does. You can't make it do something it doesn't do. Does that answer your question?

I was hoping there was a listbox ownerdraw style that would have the same behavior as BS_OWNERDRAW does for buttons. I guess you're saying there isn't one?

Yes. As far as I know there is only one owner draw mechanism for each control that supports owner draw.

With a listview control, you could maybe take advantage of custom draw...

Executing Query like (where) expressions on data stored in structure in c++

NileshBhatkhalkar29-Jul-08 4:12

Hi.

I have created a simple database table using class / structure in C++. For ex.
<pre>
class StudentTable{
int m_nRollNo;
CString m_strFirstName;
unsigned int m_uAge;
unsigned short m_uPercentageOfMarks;
};
</pre>
The records are stored in stl vector.

Now I want the execute query like expressions on the data for ex.
"m_uPercentageOfMarks >= 80 and m_strFirstName like 'A%'" - First name starting with A for matching is ok

How do I execute these query expressions with the stored data? Parsing the expression is ok but how to relate these fields + operator (and/or/not) and actually execute these expressions in one go..

Please suggest how this can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Nilesh Prakash Bhatkhalkar

As far as I know nothing standard exists as one library that will do that for you, you would have to develop it yourself. That's why most people use databases or something else that meets their requirements.

See WM_CTLCOLOR. You would need to return a different color of the brush in case the control is the button

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.
