Track number of compiles done on a solution

I think you must post your problem in C# section. This board is for C++ related queries...

Hi All,
Is there any automated way in Visual C++ 2008 to count the number of times the solution gets compiled??

Why ? does it serve any purpose ?

no way that I know of, but you could do a "post-event" script that increment a value and put it in a file somewhere.

Actually i want to include the number of compiles done on project's solution in my application's version number. e.g. if solution has been compiled 2315 times then version number could be made as v1.0.2315

What commands does post event script accept?? C++, DOS or any other?? Could you plz specify how to do that???

Thanks for the reply. Smile | :)

Actually i am developing a console application in VC++. Earlier I thought of counting number of builds in some way and then adding the version information in readme file. After reading the suggested articles, I tried to integrate version information within application itself but the solution for those articles are for MFC applications i guess, since they are not working out in my console application. Confused | :confused:

Can you please tell me a way of integrating version information in console application. I have tried adding "Version" resource in "Resource Files" but I am not able to link it to console application. Also, the addin utility at [^] suggested by Mr. CPallini gives errror that VERSIONINFO Block was not found in .rc file. Kindly suggest me a way to integrate VERSIONINFO block in console application. And since i have posted this question 18 hrs back, i think slight modification might bring this thread under some attention otherwise i have to start a new discussion about this topic. Smile | :)

CcheckBoxList issue

Hi,

im using CCheckBoxList..and im poulating the checkboxlist based on an ini file...and in a loop im trying to check all the checkboxes using Setcheck method but one of checkbox is not checked when i see the output...ie when i debugged thru the loop in which im setting checkboxes im able to see every checkbox is checked but when it comes out of the loop one of the checkbox is not checked....i think it is rearranging checkboxes based on alphabetical order but i need it"s to be checked...

the below is the code...is present in oninitDialog..

CCheckListBox mchk;

mchk.ResetContent();
mchk.SetCheckStyle( BS_AUTOCHECKBOX );
mchk.AddString("All");
mchk.SetCheck( 0, 1 );

CString csage;
///im retrieving section keys of ini file into this vector...
std::vector Key;
///im retrieving values of keys into this vector...
std::vector Values;

for(int i=0;i<key.size();i++)>
{
csage=Values[i];
mchk.AddString(csage);
mchk.SetCheck( i+1, 1 );

}

the problem is i need to have "All" always as the first checkbox and some of the checkboxes are not getting checked...may be they are getting sorted but i need them to be checked ......
ie if i have a value "adidas" that is assigend to first checkbox which is not desired as always "All" should be the first checkbox..

Change

mchk.AddString(csage);
mchk.SetCheck( i+1, 1 );

int index = mchk.AddString(csage);
if (index != LB_ERR && index != LB_ERRSPACE)
{
  mchk.SetCheck( index, 1 );
}

If I understand properly your answer, you have to remove the LBS_SORT style in your list.

CRichEditView: Word Break/ Spearator problem

You're welcome.

Hi,

I am implementing a FindAndReplace() in CRichEditView where a underscore "_" needs to be treated as a part of the word.

eg. a line has "gz, gz_New, Old_gz" and when I search for gz only the first occurance of gz should be matched, rest which are prefixed or suffixed by "_" shouldnt match.

I dont want the "_" to be considered as a valid word separator or word break, but as a part of the word.

I was told that there is s way to turn off the default word break behavior of MFC. But what I found was for CRichEditCtrl and the things I find for View says they are only available for Asian Languages.

Please Help!.

Thanks
Aruna

1. Can you not remove the prefixed and the suffixed '_' sign before/after the second gz. Replace the second occurrence with some other character.
2. Also you can take a counter/boolean variable and check for the first occurrence of the '_' sign and set it to non-zero/false value and then go ahead with what you want to do.
I hope I understood your query correctly and this solution helps

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Err!..I was looking for a mfc answer...more elegant.. Smile | :)

I think I need to be overriding the EditWordBreakProc Function and change the behavior when the input flag is WB_ISDELIMITER and return false when the character is "_". Any pit falls to this approach?

Error creating objects using constructor with arguments

NeoAks00713-Mar-09 0:54

Re: Error creating objects using constructor with arguments

13-Mar-09 0:54

Hi there,
I am facing a very strange problem in creating objects (by calling constructor with arguments) of one class inside another class. I have a situation where I want to create a object of class firstClass inside class secClass using constructor with arguments of firstClass e.g.:

class firstClass{
   string abc;
public:      
      firstClass(string label):abc(label){}    //Want to use this constructor in secClass
};

class secClass{
public:
   firstClass obj1("abc");   //Error C2059: syntax error : 'string' ->> in Visual C++ 2008
   secClass(){}
};

I think the compiler is facing ambiguity regarding the declaration of object obj1 with a function prototype definition. Similar case arises with templates but they can be resolved using typename keyword. Since typename cannot be used outside template declaration, is there any way to achieve instantiation of obj1 ?? Confused | :confused:

Plz help!!!

You can't construct to object in the class definition. What you have to do, is construct it in the constructor initialization list. In your cpp (or where your constructor is defined):

secClass::secClass() : obj1("abc")
{
  // Ctor code here.
}

You need to convert bstr to cstring and then use find method of it....

_bstr_t bstrStart(bstr);

  CString s;

  s.Format(_T("%s"), (LPCTSTR)bstrStart);
