Why not? Is it a platform limitation?

If there's no other reason, then va_args could work.

Alternatively, you could use operator chaining as with Boost.Format[^]?

It's quite a mixture. I'm developing an operating system, so haven't added most of the standard definitions. But based upon the #defines it appears to be doing pretty much the same thing as the code snippet I posted. Should it theoretically work? Thanks for the link though, I'm looking through it now; it should be helpful

(Presuming you mean va_args) yes, it will be - it's all just stack hackery, which is more dependent on the compiler you're using and hte way it lays out parameters than the OS or anything else really.

That will be very difficul since you didn't provide any useful information... What is a bit of variable lenght ? Unsure | :~

Hi,

that is not beginner's stuff.

I did it once, long ago; you need to come up with a way to represent bit strings of limited length.

Here is one way of doing it:
imagine a struct "BITPATTERN" containing:
- int value; // holding up to 32 bits (right-aligned)
- int signif; // holding how many bits of value are significant.

Now implement a CONCAT(BITPATTERN a, BITPATTERN b) function that appends b to a.

The easiest way is by implementing a for loop, iterating over all the bits of b by:
- left-shifting a.value
- incrementing a.signif
- testing one bit of b.value
- if that bit is non-zero incrementing a.value

In addition one has to deal with overflows, i.e. data is not allowed to get lost in a.value while
shifting; one approach is to test for a.signif==8 and store a.value somewhere (to a file), clear it, and reset a.signif inside the CONCAT loop.

Finally, when all concatenations are done, some data may be left in a.value; so some extra zero bits should be concatenated until a.signif becomes 8 and everything gets flushed out.

BTW: you could do similar things using strings containing "0" and "1"; that is slightly easier to code, but far worse as performance goes; and the highest-performance implementations would not have a loop over the significant bits in b, they would use table lookups.

PS: I would expect some implementations to be available on the internet (and a fraction of them to be correct); make Google your friend.

Smile | :)

CRichEditCtl on CMDIchildWnd

5-Apr-09 11:50

That's the 'perfect forwarding' problem[^], that will only be solved well with the introduction of rvalue references in C++0x.

I would suggest you take a look at the implementation of Boost.Signals[^] - that does exactly what you're trying to implement (by which I mean the delegate concept).

Hello everyone,

Thanks a million for all the help you have all provided so far.

I would like to use the CTabCtrl. All the searches and examples I have been through in order for me to use it I have to create a TestTabCtrl class that is derived from CTabCtrl class and create a CPropertyPage class.

Please could someone confirm this for me or have I missed on other ways.

Thanks a million.

Hello,

I have a CRichEditCtrl box on a CMDIChildWnd. When I move the mouse over this edit box its cursor changes to caret pointer indicating that the box is there. This CMDIChildWnd is made by Create()of CMDIChildWNd

Now when I make a Child window by CreateNewChild() and the add CRichEditCTrl on the childwindow the edit box is seen but when I move the mouse cursor on the edit box the cursor doesnt change to caret pointer .

What is the difference or what must be the problem in making child
windows in diff ways?
