Hi,
I have created a Window UI using CreateWindowEx(), than on top of that I created a Tabbed control using the same function. On each tab i have a edit control, I am not getting the messages from the edit control.
I am expecting that the mesaages should come to WM_COMMAND/WM_NOTIFIY of the parent window.
thanks in advance.

Code 1:
while(TRUE)
{ ..........
}
if(1) { ......... }
Compiler warning:- Constant data in conditional statement.
How to get rid of this?
Can i do like.....
bool flag = TRUE;
while(flag) {.......}
Code 2:
unsigned short a = -1;
Compiler warning:- Possible loss of data...
How to get rid of this warning?
Can i do.....
unsigned short a = (ushort)-1;
Code 3:
char a[10];
char b[20] = "H";
strcpy(&a[2], b);
Now i want to convert this function to strcpy_s, where in i have to pass the buffer size..
so can i do like...... strcpy_s(&a[2], sizeof(a), b);
Can i do like that? Or is that i just need to pass the sizeof that particular array index, like sizeof(a[2])
Any help is welcome....
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
AFAIK there is only one way to create an "eternal loop" that should never generate a warning, whatever smart the compiler is:
for( ; ; ) {
...
}
since this is legal C/C++ code that clearly shows no exit condition. Everything else, checking on 1 or TRUE or a variable with a constant value, is bound to be flagged when compilers are smart enough, their intent is to WARN you that maybe you made a mistake.
The same holds true for empty loops:
while (someCondition); may generate a warning (unintentional empty loop, maybe due to an extraneous semi-colon), whereas
while (someCondition) {}
is fine since now the compiler must realize you typed two characters to create an empty code block.

This is absurd. Why do you want to assign a signed value to unsigned type? What's wrong in using just short?

As suggested by Luc, use for ( ; ; )
dipuks wrote: if(1) { ......... }
Why would you ever want to do this?
You really do not need the condition check here.
dipuks wrote: unsigned short a = -1;
Assigning a signed number to an unsigned variable does not make sense.
You should either change the unsigned variable to a signed variable.
Or assign the value 0xFFFFFFFF to the unsigned variable.
A lot of work has been done in this field. Look at Inside SafeInt[^]

You may have to do strcpy_s(&a[2], sizeof(a) - 2, b);

these are discussable item, and to tell a long story short, there are different ways possible.
Code 1: writing loops with no "exit strategy" isnt fine
Code 2: common way to initialize with invalid data
Code 3: a[2] = 'H'; 
+ bug, buffer is false computed !!! strcpy_s(&a[2], sizeof(a) - 2, b);
+ i would use sprintf-style funktion "H%s" for extensionable coding

My title is probably not very well phrased, but here is the problem. Let's say I've got functions a(), b(), where a() calls b(), and b() calls vector<T>::iterator iter = someVector.begin().
b() needs to pass this iterator down to a() via a void* mechanism, without returning it (essentially using reference passing), so more explicitly, the two functions are:
void a(void*& param);
void b(void*& param);
The problem is, we can't simply do something like this:
vector<T>::iterator iter = someVector.begin();
param = reinterpret_cast<void*>(iter)
This is because the compiler (MSVC9) will complain about trying to cast an iterator to a void*:
error C2440: 'reinterpret_cast' : cannot convert from 'std::_Vector_iterator<_Ty,_Alloc>' to 'void *'
Likewise, I can't do something like...
vector<T>::iterator iter = someVector.begin();
param = reinterpret_cast<void*>(&iter)
...because even though this will compile, it will not work because begin() actually returns an iterator object and not a pointer to some memory location, so the memory address of that object will go out of scope (not sure when, but I'm guessing when you leave b()). So, because I can't do any of this, I thought that maybe I could do a memory copy of the iterator, pass it up as a void*, and then cast it back to an iterator, so something along these lines:
vector<T>::iterator iter = someVector.begin();
void* mem = malloc(sizeof(vector<T>::iterator));
param = mem;
And on the flip side, in order to decode my data, I'd do something like this:
vector<T>::iterator = reinterpret_cast<vector<T>::iterator>(param);
I'm wondering whether or not this idea of mine is feasible or will cause me many problems, or if there is a better way of doing what I'd like to do, given the limitations (can only pass by void* reference).
Thanks.

Apart from the fact you're using malloc, the last idea's OK.
Use new instead - it's C++, man!
param = reinterpret_cast<void*>(new vector<T>::iterator(someVector.begin()));
Remember to delete it afterwards as well....

Yeah, well, the way I see it, malloc just does a simple memory allocation, whereas new also calls the parameterless constructor. In this case, since I'm overwriting everything, I figured malloc was the better way, but from my testing, it seems that new works as well. I've managed to get some sample code working, and it seems to be fine when T = int, but I've been told that it may not work where T is a more complicated class.

Should be fine, no matter what T is - an iterator generally only holds a reference to an item in a container (for simple, container iterators).

new will call whichever constructor you specify. In my example, I use teh copy constructor.

In any recent version of VC, iterators are not simple pointers. There is some debug info kept around to detect dangling iterators and iterators that point outside of their containers. So doing a straight memcpy will work only as long as the original iterator exists.
What about this:
vector<T>::iterator* piter = new vector<T>::iterator ( someVector.begin() );
void* pv = (void*) piter;</T></T> ?

Is there any function which can transfer date time string to SYSTEMTIME?
the string may be, such as, "2009-06-21 3:12:13" or "2009-06-21".
|
|
|
|
|
|
No single WIndows function, but VarDateFromStr[^] followed by VariantTimeToSystemTime[^]. That will use the date/time format(s) defined by your current locale.
Alternatively,
SYSTEMTIME st;
sscanf("2009-06-21 3:12:13", "%4d-%2d-%2d %d:%d:%d", &sy.wYear, &st.wMonth, &st.wDay, &st.wHour, &st.wMinute, &st.wSecond);

I need help with the GDI-function Alphablend() on Vista. Here's my code:
hMemDC:=CreateCompatibleDC(hdc)
hbitmap:=CreatecompatibleBitmap(hdc,width,height)
...
blendfunc.BlendOp=0
blendfunc.BlendFlags=0
blendfunc.SourceConstantAlpha=128
blendfunc.AlphaFormat=0
AlphaBlend(hdc,siPX,siPY,width,Height,hMemDC,0,0,Width,Height,@blendfunc))
//StretchBlt(hdc,siPX,siPY,Width,Height,hMemDC,0,0,Width,Height,SRCCOPY)
//BitBlt(hdc,siPX,siPY,Width,Height,hMemDC,0,0,SRCCOPY)
When i use StretchBlt() or Bitblt() it works OK, so coordinates are ok. My language is not C so @blendfunc seams wrong but im sure it is not (it means 'pointer to a structure'). I suspect AlphaBlend does not work (returns false) because my bitmap has no alpha-channel. Saw on the MS-website an example that uses CreateDibSection() to create a 32-bit bitmap but that doesn't work also.
It goes like this:
hMemDC:=CreateCompatibleDC(hdc)
memclear(@bmi,_sizeof(_winBITMAPINFO))
bmi.bmiHeader.biSize:=_sizeof(_winBITMAPINFOHEADER)
bmi.bmiHeader.biWidth:=width
bmi.bmiHeader.biHeight:=height
bmi.bmiHeader.biPlanes:=1
bmi.bmiHeader.biBitCount:=32
bmi.bmiHeader.biCompression:=BI_RGB
bmi.bmiHeader.biSizeImage:=oDim:width*oDim:height*4
hbitmap:=CreateDIBSection(hMemDC,@bmi,DIB_RGB_COLORS,pBits,NULL,0)
SelectObject(hMemDC,hbitmap)
So im out of options... Has anyone an idea, or a codesnippet that does work, so i can try that one?
Thanks,
Rozis

I've been working in C# and Java for a while, with only a little experience in using C++, and I'm having a little trouble finding information on if there is anything like base or super in C++. If for example I have this:
class foo {
public:
virtual void myMethod() { cout << "this part is in foo" << endl; }
};
class bar : public foo {
public:
void myMethod() { base.myMethod(); cout << "\tthis part is in bar" << endl; }
};
Such that, base.myMethod() would perform the tasks of myMethod() in the base class, and then it would carry out the new implementation from there; is anything like this possible in C++?
thanks!

Hi. Just use the base's name:
class bar : public foo {
public:
void myMethod() { foo::myMethod(); cout << "\tthis part is in bar" << endl; }
};
There's no specific keyword, since C++ allows multiple inheritance and therefore it is not guaranteed that one class has one and only one base class.
Regards.

Thanks ! Going back to C++ continues to remind me how different it really is from C#

Visual C++ provides a non-standard keyword __super[^] that does that. Not that I recommend it
|
|
|
|

To expand on Fernando's answer - you can't really have a 'base' or 'super' keyword in C++ because a C++ class can inherit from multiple non-abstract bases.

Hi
I'm trying to save image from webBrowser control after a open webpage.
It is like right clicking on the picture and clicking at "Save Picture As..." Context menu, except I wanted to do it
programmaticaly with out showing save dialog box.
I tried
this->webBrowser1->Document->execcommand("Save As", false, strFilePath);
it does not work.
Some one Knows better way?

Hi,
im using the below code to increase the size of the DialogBox along with the controls inside it during Runtime...ie im overriding DoModal()function...
CTestDlg is my application name....
INT_PTR CTestDlg::DoModal()
{
CDialogTemplate dlt;
int nResult;
// load dialog template
//CTestDlg::IDD is the ID of my resoource...
if (!dlt.Load(MAKEINTRESOURCE(CTestDlg::IDD))) return -1;
// set your own font, for example "Arial", 10 pts.
dlt.SetFont(L"Arial", 12);
// get pointer to the modified dialog template
LPSTR pdata = (LPSTR)GlobalLock(dlt.m_hTemplate);
// let MFC know that you are using your own template
m_lpszTemplateName = NULL;
InitModalIndirect(pdata);
// display dialog box
nResult = CDialog::DoModal();
// unlock memory object
GlobalUnlock(dlt.m_hTemplate);
return nResult;
}
The issue is the font of one of the control (CheckBox) is not getting increased...
Please let me know...
