I should write a Windows32 form, in which I can input Unicode. When I create multiple instances of application.all the form must display some content, and When I change the content, the content in all instances must change according to the changed Unicode.
Now I can get the content of input, but how can I put the value into the variable in commen memory area?

when I compile the code, VS always display :warning LNK4039: section 'Shared' specified with /SECTION option does not exist.
I look up some solution suggesting initializing variable, so I verify to
#pragma data_seq("Shared")
volatile wchar_t content[20]=TEXT("abc");
#pragma data_seq()
But the problem still exists.

Try initializing the variable...
#pragma data_seg(push, shared1, ".Shared")
volatile wchar_t* content = 0;
#pragma data_seg(pop, shared1)
#pragma comment(linker, "/Section:.Shared,RWS")

Compiler Error C2393
Error Message
'symbol' : per-appdomain symbol cannot be allocated in segment 'segment'
The use of appdomain variables implies that you are compiling with /clr:pure or /clr:safe, and a safe or pure image cannot contain data segments.
See /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation) for more information.
Example
The following sample generates C2393.
Copy Code
// C2393.cpp
// compile with: /clr:pure /c
#pragma data_seg("myseg")
int n = 0; // C2393
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the explaination of MSDN,but I don't know how to resolve it

So you are asking us what to do about the compiler error, again?
So someone here could post a few sentences that would eliminate that error an introduce you to the next problem you will not understand.
This is an internet forum not an instructor lead programming class. Therefore some topics are to long and complex to be appropriate for an internet forum. This is one of them. The bottom line is that you need to study the technologies you are attempting to work with until you understand them well enough that that compiler message would not cause you to blindly post it into internet forums.

Hi,
I have installed a mouse hook to trap any mouse action on my application. The hook is installed at OnCreate function of MDI frame using.
m_hMouseHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE, MouseHookProc, NULL, ::GetCurrentThreadId());
And in MouseHookProc function:
LRESULT CMainFrame:: MouseHookProc (int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
CMainFrame* pThis = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
if (nCode < 0) // do not process message
return CallNextHookEx(pThis->m_hKeyHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
EnterCriticalSection(&(pThis->m_Lock));
pThis->m_nTimerCount = 0;
LeaveCriticalSection(&(pThis->m_Lock));
return CallNextHookEx(pThis->m_hKeyHook,nCode,wParam,lParam);
}
Now, the mouse hook behaving as expected except when I am hovering the mouse on menu items means if open the File menu item and moving the mouse on the menu items available under File menu then the hook is not working (MouseHookProc function is not handled).
Please any one provide any suggestion/idea.
Thanks in advance.

Using the MenuStrip and OpenFileDialog controls with Windows Forms, I can read a data file (openFiledialog) and store the numerical day in an array. But I can't figure out how to access the data stored in the array from another control, for example from the button control using the click event handler? I would be greatly relieved if someone can help me figure how to do this. Many thanx,
eddy

What is the scope of that array? If it has a class level scope, you should be able to access it from event handler.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanx for your reply. The array is a managed array (array<float>^ xx = gcnew array<float>(100)) but I don't know how to give it class scope. However, I found that an array (using pointers) with global scope seems to work (float *xx = new float[100]).

Hello, thanks for looking at this!
I am a fairly new programmer just trying to learn new things so try to bear with me.
Here is my problem:
I don't know how to code something that creates new variables that store values that change per repetition of a loop.
To clarify, here is my situation:
I am building a math flashcard program that has 3 forms. The first is irrelevant to the question. The second form uses the rand() function to make up 2 numbers for the user to either add or subtract, they enter their answer into a textbox and then hit a button that stores their answer and gives them new numbers to work with (this happens 10 times). The third box is supposed to display the questions and correct answers of the randomly generated questions.
Further clarification of my problem using an example of what happens to me:
1st Iteration of loop starts:
1. Random number generator gives the numbers 2 and 3 for the user to add
2. User enters 5 and hits the continue button
3. The continue button stores the numbers 2, 3, and 5 as variables named "1num", "2num", and "ans" respectively.
2nd Iteration of loop starts:
4. The button gives the user new numbers
5. Random number generator gives the numbers 4 and 5 for the user to add
6. User enters 9 and hits continue button
7. The continue button overwrites the previous values for "1num" 2num and "ans" with 4, 5, and 9
So on so forth
I hope I am being clear enough on what my problem is.
Basically I think I need to include something in the loop that makes new variables to store the new values so it doesn't overwrite previous ones.
Oh boy that was fun to try to explain. If there is any confusion feel free to ask questions.
Thanks for any help!!!
***Oh Geez! Edit***
So after coding some, I realized that I can't even get my program to open the other forms correctly, I have:
#include "DoMath.h"
Form^ DoMath = gcnew Form();
DoMath->Show();
and that opens up a new form when I hit the button on my first form, but its just a blank form, its not my DoMath form. Uhg, I just googled this and tried like 10 different ways, and all of them either don't work or do the same exact thing my code does. It would be much appreciated if someone could give me the correct code for this.

Create a type which can store all these 3 values. Create a new instance of this type each time and keep it in a generic list. If you iterate over this list, you get all the answers user given. To explain what I said, create a class something like the below.
ref class QA{
public:
QA(int f, int s, int input)
: firstNumber(f)
, secondNumber(s)
, userInput(input)
{}
property int FirstNumber{
int get(){
return firstNumber;
}
}
property int SecondNumber{
int get(){
return secondNumber;
}
}
property int UserInput{
int get(){
return userInput;
}
}
private:
int firstNumber, secondNumber, userInput;
};In the loop, create a QA instance and add it to a List(QA).
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
List<QA^>^ qaList = gcnew List<QA^>();
qaList->Add(gcnew QA(FirstRandomNumber,SecondRandomNumber,UserInput));
TabascoSauce wrote: Form^ DoMath = gcnew Form();

Looks like you are not clear with the object oriented concepts. The above code creates form instance each time it is executed. You need to make the form object as a class level variable if you don't want it to be created each time.

**Edit**
Oh wow after doing a ton of research and reading I got everything to work!
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I'm new to C++ (and these forums), but I have some experience with Java, PHP and several other languages though.
I made a Windows forms application and would like to know an easy way to update the form controls of the mainform, from any cpp file, function, etc... in my project.
For example, a function (outside the form header file) should be able to update a textfield in the form, during its execution. What would be the best way to do this in C++?
In the main function, I tried this:
MainForm^ mainform = gcnew MainForm();
Application::Run(mainform);
mainform->txtUpdates->Text = "test";
But this doesn't work. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Because controls will be declared as private by default. Changing it to public and exposing to outside of the class is not recommended.

Best way is to write a delegate in your class. Let the form subscribe to it and update automatically when delegate is called. If you can't go with delegates, create a public method which updates the required controls on your form. Call this method from the outside function. Ofcource, you need to include the form's header file and your calling function should get an instance of the form.

Thanks for the help!
Ok so instead of declaring the control as public, I made a public method to update the control, but this doesn't really fix my problem...
MainForm^ mainform = gcnew MainForm();
Application::Run(mainform);
mainform->addUpdates("test");
The above code has the same effect as with mainform->txtUpdates->Text = "test";.
When I run my application no errors are reported, but the textbox "txtUpdates" isn't changed. I don't understand why not.

Lavake wrote: MainForm^ mainform = gcnew MainForm();

That's wrong. Application::Run blocks until the application exits. So mainform->addUpdates("test") will execute only when the application quits and you will not see the updates. For Application::Run, MSDN says,
The Dispose method of the Form class will be called prior to the return of this method.
Which means, mainform will be disposed before you call mainform->addUpdates("test"). To solve this, you need to rework on your design.

Hi,
I have a problem to pass some data between forms. Let's say I have 2 form, FormMain and FormChild, FormChild will be called from FormMain. What I want to do is simple. Whenever I change the textBox1's text in FormChild, the textBox1's text in FormMain will also contain the same text. After googling for a while, I got 2 solution : by using a delegate or directly instantiate FormMain in FormChild. Both solution unfortunately is in C#, so I need to convert it first. Well, I thought at first that there will be no problem at all to convert it, but that is just plain wrong. Both of the solution I get is just give me some error. Here is the converted source code
1.using delegate
in Form Main.h :
#include "Form Child.h"
namespace Delegates {
public delegate void AddTextChangeDelegate(String^ item);
public ref class FormMain : System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
FormMain()
{
formChild = gcnew FormChild();
}
private:
FormChild^ formChild;
private:
System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
formChild->AddTextChangeCallback = gcnew AddTextChangeDelegate(&this->AddTextChangeCallbackFn);
formChild->Show();
}
private:
System::Void AddTextChangeCallbackFn(String^ str)
{
textBox1->Text = str;
}
};
}
in Form Child.h
namespace Delegates {
public ref class FormChild : System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
AddTextChangeDelegate^ AddTextChangeCallback;
private:
System::Void btnAdd_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
AddTextChangeCallback(textBox1->Text );
}
};
}
2. directly instantiate FormMain
the solution I get (in C#) is just simply declare FormMain as a global variable in FormChild, then exposed the textBox in FormMain as a public. But when I do the same thing in C++, the compiler give an error "error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '^' ". so probably I just need to include the Form Main.h in Form Child.h, which give me another error "fatal error C1014: too many include files : depth = 1024" (is it because both form include each other's header?, so that is like making some cyclic dependency thing? I'm not sure why). After googling once more, I found that it is still "possible" to declare FormMain instance in Form Child.h. Include Form Main.h in the Form Child.cpp and that's it.
in Form Child.cpp
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "Form Child.h"
#include "Form Main.h"
System::Void FormChild::btnAdd_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
FormMain^ formMain = gcnew FormMain();
formMain->textBox1->Text = this->textBox1->Text;
}
But then another problem comes out. The instance declared in Form Child.cpp is not the same instance as the previous FormMain. So, what is the correct way to solve this problem? Is the methods mentioned above was wrong? Or perhaps I make a wrong conversion, misplaced the delegate or something? I have search the other solutions in the internet, but a lot of it is either in C# or VB. I could not find it for C++ .NET.
Also is there any way around to access the instance of FormMain from FormChild in the above case?
Thanks

Because you are instantiating a new instance in the child form. You need to pass the main form's instance to child form (through constructor injection or some setter methods).
roshihans wrote: So, what is the correct way to solve this problem?
I will stick with delegates. It is the best way to go.
roshihans wrote: AddTextChangeCallback(textBox1->Text );
Don't call it blindly, your delegate instance may be NULL and you will end with null reference exception. Do a sanity check before you call it.
System::Void btnAdd_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
if(AddTextChangeCallback != nullptr)
AddTextChangeCallback(textBox1->Text );
}roshihans wrote: // declaring delegate, and get "error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '^' "
// the compiler seems doesn't recognize this
You might be doing it wrongly.
public ref class FormChild : System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
delegate void AddTextChangeDelegate();
AddTextChangeDelegate^ AddTextChangeCallback;
...........
};

Thanks for your quick reply, Navaneeth!! And now, the delegate thing is works perfectly!! I has been searching a lot about this in the internet without a result and now it's solved! Thanks a lot Navaneeth!! 
I dunno if my question is beyond the topic, but can I ask about another thing? this is about the answers that Navaneeth wrote
N a v a n e e t h wrote: Because you are instantiating a new instance in the child form. You need to pass the main form's instance to child form (through constructor injection or some setter methods).
constructor injection? I'm still a beginner in C++, so I'm barely hear about this. When you say constructor injection, is it something like dependency injection? I'm googling it in the internet, and this is that came up. Correct me if I was wrong, but from what I read in Internet, this dependency injection can be done using a container (??), created by third party developer (they mentioned something about pico container and others). It can not be done by .NET itself? I'm still confused

roshihans wrote: constructor injection?
By constructor injection, I meant to pass the first form's object to second form via constructor. Something like
Form2(Form1^ form1)
{
}As I said, go with delegates. It's the approaprite solution for your scenario.

But Form1 already include Form2.h (in my case Form1 act as a "parent" form, and instantiate Form2). So I think I can't declare Form2 (Form1^ form1) and keep the form1 object, like you have mentioned above, because I need to include Form1.h inside Form2.h, and that will give me this "fatal error C1014: too many include files : depth = 1024". Or maybe I don't need to include Form1.h inside Form2.h?
Thanks

Fair point! You will get circular dependency problems. To solve this, you need to have good understanding about C++ compiling and linking.
You have to use forward declaration and declare parent form in child form's header file. Assume your parent form is named as PForm and child form as CForm. Here is how your PForm's header file looks like
public ref class PForm : public System::Windows::Forms::Form{
public:
void UpdateText(String^ str)
{
textBox1->Text = str;
}
};Here is your CForm's header
ref class PForm;
public ref class CForm : public System::Windows::Forms::Form{
public:
CForm(PForm^ pf)
{
InitializeComponent();
pForm = pf;
}
private:
System::Void textBox1_TextChanged(System::Object^, System::EventArgs^);
PForm^ pForm;
};CForm.cpp contains
#include "CForm.h"
#include "PForm.h"
System::Void CForm::textBox1_TextChanged(System::Object ^sender, System::EventArgs ^e){
if(pForm != nullptr)
pForm->UpdateText(textBox1->Text);
}You show the CForm from PForm like
CForm^ cForm = gcnew CForm(this);
cForm->Show(); This should work fine. But if you use delegates, you can avoid all these and implementation will be pretty straight forward. So please stick with delegates unless you have a good reason to go with the above method.
Hope it is clear now.
