static_cast gave me syntax error.

It shouldn't (I made a test).
What is exactly your code (and waht is the error message)?

Here is, what I think, the pertinent part of code:

CString value;
value=mslstr.Mid(parse_start, parse_stop-parse_start);
float htmin;
htmin=static_cast(atof(value));

Here is the error:
.\sruleDoc.cpp(1072) : error C2059: syntax error : '('

Line 1072 is htmin=static_cast(atof(value));

Should be

htmin=static_cast<float>(atof(value));

lol he mentioned a sample.. to be precise,

static_cast<float>(atof(value))

He never answers anyone who replies to him. I've taken to calling him a retard, which is not fair to retards everywhere.-Christian Graus

Is only remedy to initialize htmin as double?

Or better would be to ignore it? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I'd love to. I just migrated some code from VC++6.0 to VS2008 and I'm getting hundreds of C4244 warnings.

There is, in general, no reason to use float rather than double. 4 bytes memory saved? Big deal. Performance? The math co-processor in Intel apps uses double internally - doubles are actually quicker.

Thanks for all the info. Looks like I've got two workable solutions.

Hi,

I know MFC has specfic message map macros e.g. ON_WM_CLOSE coreesponding to the

overridable onclose method

However is'nt ON_MESSAGE a catchall

Where I can code the SDK message e.g WM_CLOSE as the first parm and my method to handle this as the second ???

Or if I were handling response from a control (e.g clicking the OK button)

I could code ON_MESSAGE(ID_OK,my_ok_response) to process this message

No you couldn't - should use ON_COMMAND(ID_OK, my_ok_response) to process that.

ForNow wrote:

use ON_MESSAGE(WM_CLOSE, myCustomCloser) where myCustomCloser has the signature

LRESULT myCustomCloser(WPARAM, LPARAM);

in your window class.

So ON_MESSAGE is for Windows system messages whereas ON_COMMAND is for anyhting thats WM_USER + .....

No - if you look at the definition of the ON_COMMAND macro, you'll see this:

#define ON_COMMAND(id, memberFxn) \
	{ WM_COMMAND, CN_COMMAND, (WORD)id, (WORD)id, AfxSigCmd_v, \
		static_cast<AFX_PMSG> (memberFxn) },
		// ON_COMMAND(id, OnBar) is the same as
		//   ON_CONTROL(0, id, OnBar) or ON_BN_CLICKED(0, id, OnBar)

What this means is that ON_COMMAND handles the WM_COMMAND[^] message, which (to quote that page) is sent when the user selects a command item from a menu, when a control sends a notification message to its parent window, or when an accelerator keystroke is translated.

You may find sample code in the RegQueryValueEx documentation page [^].

Yes, there's a useful sample on that page, if you're interested in getting a data object with an unknown size. But if you want to read a C string and convert that string to a CString, you are probably better off with this:

<br />
BOOL ReadStringFromMysterioiusOSSource(char* destination, int maxChar);<br />
<br />
// ...<br />
<br />
CString myValue;<br />
char buf[438];<br />
ReadStringFromMysterioiusOSSource(buf, 438);<br />
myValue = buf;<br />

(If you really need to use a OS function, just use the CString's assignment operator)
