You wanna to write all the handlers in a single functions. If that is the case I hope you have to have the switch-case/if-else in your program. The only thing you can reduce is the number of flags. Define the enum data type for your modes, rather having different flags. I suggested flags just because you had specified only two modes. But having the 'enum'ed your modes doesn't skip the conditional programming part in your message handler.

It's a photo processing application with 10 more edit modes.
I saw a solution for this problem serveral years ago, but can't find it now.

I use an enumeration.

The if/else or switch code to check the mode is insignificant
relative to the slowness of mouse messages...there's no performance
issues on a modern PC if that's what you're worried about.

I'm not worried about performance.
I don't want the message handler like a native window proc funciton.

My project is SDI that first view is CFromView derive class.
Then I add second view with CScrollView derive class.
In this view I want to print out the data but I don't know how to do that.

Please advise me how can I do.

Try to associate your 2nd view with the doc at first,
It it very likely to solve the problem.

If your demand is very specific,
try to handle the print message in CView2 by yourself,
you may call CView2::OnDraw in the print handler.

Manifest File

I copied the Manifest example from the MSDN site, and included it as an XML resource in my code, to represent generic elevated rights. Now, my rc compiler is old, and knows Nothing about XML, but my Linker knows about '.res' files.
Would anyone be willing to compile a Generic Manifest into an rc File for me, so that I can include it in my code.
Anyone willing to assist may contact me at:

Hi all,

Whats the difference between these:

Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)

Multi-threaded (/MT)

Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)

Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)

I am currently using
Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd) in my project because I encountered an mfc error message when I used Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd). Please Advise because I haven't seen how it affects my project.

Thanks,
Jayjay

Visual Studio 6 - helpful debugger?

So, I'm trying to track down a bug in an activeX control I'm working on. I'm supposed to be centering text, the text is no where to be seen. Hmm, should be able to find this pretty quick. Sniff | :^)

So, I set a breakpoint at the start of the offending method, walk through the code, all looks well. I hit go, and all is drawn correctly. Hmmm, so I leave the breakpoint off, and now it draws incorrectly.

Then it dawns on me - hit a breakpoint and things draw correctly. WTF | :WTF:

I know debuggers help sometimes by initializing data in debug mode. I've never heard of one doing things when a breakpoint is reached. Any ideas?

I don't think debuggers change your data, but debug libraries
may initialize data.

If a breakpoint/run sequence makes something draw correctly, often
it's just a case where you needed to invalidate the window and/or
call UpdateWindow().

Mark,

Oh I wish it were so simple as an invalidate. I have had debuggers help me in the past, but this issue just gets weirder.
At this point, I have OnSize, OnPaint and OnDraw. They all call GetClientRect to determine what needs to be drawn. Only OnSize tracks correctly. So, I have something seriously wrong in the control, perhaps a misunderstanding between me, the control and it's container.

atof() in Visual Studio 6 vs 2005

FoxholeWilly18-Sep-08 10:38

18-Sep-08 10:38

I have some code originally developed in VS6. The boss wants it to run under VS2005, and I found some problems with atof(buffer).

Buffer is read from an ASCII file, and in VS6 everything goes fine, but in VS2005 its messed up:

buffer is "409600.0000"

in watch window atof(buffer) shows value of 409600.00000000

BUT when I assign to a double variable:

DOUBLE variable = atof(buffer) I get 101523136.0000000

Any help fixing this would be appreciated.

Mark Salsbery18-Sep-08 10:48

18-Sep-08 10:48

hmm...

What do you get with this:

// Non-Unicode
char charbuffer[] = "409600.0000";
double doublefromchar = atof(charbuffer);

// Unicode
wchar_t wcharbuffer[] = L"409600.0000";
double doublefromwchar = _wtof(wcharbuffer);

// Generic text
TCHAR tcharbuffer[] = _T("409600.0000");
double doublefromtchar = _tstof(tcharbuffer);

Compiler did not like TCHAR

Still get the same results.

When looking at atof() and _wtof() in the watch window, the results are both 409600.0000

The double variables both show 101523136.00000000 in the watch window.

So, the atof() and _wtof() functions seem to work correctly, its just that when the values are assigned to the variables, things are getting messed up.

That doesn't make sense. How do you watch the functions?

I fired up VS 2005 and wrote this:

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT 
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#endif						

#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	// Non-Unicode
	char charbuffer[] = "409600.0000";
	double doublefromchar = atof(charbuffer);

	// Unicode
	wchar_t wcharbuffer[] = L"409600.0000";
	double doublefromwchar = _wtof(wcharbuffer);

	// Generic text
	TCHAR tcharbuffer[] = _T("409600.0000");
	double doublefromtchar = _tstof(tcharbuffer);

	return 0;
}

I can't reproduce anything you are seeing...you've got something
else going on you're not showing us.

As Mark suggested it is probably a UNICODE issue (VS2005 by default makes UNICODE builds). Could you please post the relevant code.

note: frequency represents the real-life typedef where the pertinant variable is declared as double.

char buf[80];
FILE* fp;
double frequency;

....

fgets(buf, 80, fp);
frequency = atof(buf);

Visual Studio 2005:

The program

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
  char buf[] = "409600.0000";
  double frequency;
  frequency = atof(buf);
  printf("%g\n", frequency);
  getchar();
}

The output

What happens if you run this program on your VS2005?
