You should use the faster approach. Big Grin | :-D

Seriously it may depend on a some factors like the complexity of your regex queries and the efficiency of your own search code (standard regex code is usually quite fast)

I guess Setcaption should accept a CString.
if that is the case, then you can format your float value to a string and then pass it to the SetCaption().

Listbox Selection

Hi!
I've two list boxes. These two list boxes contain similar elements at similar ids. i.e If List1 contains "Apple" as item0, List2 also contains "Apple" as item0. Similarly both the lists has 9 elements.My requirement is:
If I select "Apple" from List2, Apple could not be selected from List1. How to do this?

Why don't you prompt a warning message to the user (on duplicate selection) and then deselect the item?

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I'm getting the selected item index for List box2 using this line:
oppId = opplist->getSelected();. Then I'm trying to change the visiblity
of the corresponding item in list box1 using this code:

void CTeamSelectState::GUIEvent(CGameManager* pManager,const SEvent& event)
{
IGUIListBox *playerCty;
 if((event.GUIEvent.EventType == gui::EGET_LISTBOX_CHANGED)||(event.GUIEvent.EventType == gui::EGET_LISTBOX_SELECTED_AGAIN))
 {
  //IGUIListBox *playerlist = (IGUIListBox *)event.GUIEvent.Caller;
  IGUIListBox *opplist = (IGUIListBox *)event.GUIEvent.Caller;
  int oppId = opplist->getSelected();
  printf("oppId:%d \n",oppId);
  if(oppId >= 0 && oppId < 9)
   playerCtyExclude(oppId, playerCty);
  else
  {
   printf("Error:");
   return;
  }
 }
}

The function playerCtyExclude() is defined as follows:

void CTeamSelectState::playerCtyExclude(int oppId, IGUIListBox *player)
{
 //playerCty->getElementFromId(oppId)->setVisible(false);
 for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
 {
  if(i == oppId)
    player->getElementFromId(oppId)->setVisible(false);
  else
   player->getElementFromId(oppId)->setVisible(true);
 }
}

When I select any item in the second list box, application crashes. How to achieve my task?

As I said I wouldn't try to hide the item.
By the way, what framework are you using?

Float to CString problem

Hi sir,
I am finding the pow of some values,If it is for smaller values,i am getting the result properly.
But if for larger values like (where result will be like2.20700e+007)
I am using this code:

result = pow(temp1,temp3);	 
		 
 res.Format("%2d",result);

result is in float and i am getting value as 2.20700e+007

then i am trying to convert it into CString,so that i can tokenize the result in this way(2.20700)
But i am getting junk values while converting,its not converting properly.

Am i doing any thing wrong or any other way to convert it to CString,where i can get the value properly

Thanks
Raj

as you said, you are going to operate on larger values, the problem should be that, your resultant value is exceeding the 4 byte boundary, and you are getting improper result.
by the way, what are the values you are passing to pow?
what is the result you are getting, and what is the result you are expecting?

The value varies,depends on some condition.
ex: pow(0.2365,-0.3445)....

I am expecting the same result in CString

res.Format("%2d",result); // here i am getting some junk values in res.

I hope i cleared u

look at the following url.
http://www.elook.org/programming/c/pow.html[^]

there he says that,
There's a domain error if base is zero and exp is less than or equal to zero

i think you may have to do some workaround on this.

If result is a float you should use %f instead of %d.

You're trying to format a float with a decimal (i.e integer) format specifier. Use %f instead.

When I am on windows xp or later, I could get SERVICE_CONTROL_SESSIONCHANGE event by calling RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx and HandlerEx .But when I am on windows 2000 ,the SERVICE_CONTROL_SESSIONCHANGE event does not support windows 2000.
And now I am willing to get the logon and logoff event on windows 2000 in my service (win32 service), I could not find any method.

10 & 10/3*3 are not equal ! ! ! WHY?

Hello all and congratulate for new theme of site.

float f1,f2;
bool b;
float f1 = 10.0;
float f2 = f1 / 3;
b = f1 == (f2 * 3.0);

WHY always b is 0 (false). Really aren't f1 and f2 equal?
If it is, why?

Because when you deal with floating point values, equality cannot be expressed.

because one of the number cannot be accurately be represented as a binary number thus leading to rounding errors that should be taken into account by the developers.

see this : http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html[^]

Watched code never compiles.

Comparisons work very well with floating point numbers, e.g. equality. Arithmetics, on the other hand, is tampering with accuracy.

Most numbers cannot be stored accurately in a float. Those numbers have to be rounded off to some near representation, 10/3 being one. Nothing to be upset about. It's just another day at the office for your computer.

i remember,when i was a student,
my c language teacher told me , if i compare two "float" or "double", i should check it between a very little number.
such as ,

const float c_tmp = 0.000001;
bool b;
float f1 = 10.0;
float f2 = f1 / 3;
b = (f1 >= (f2 * 3.0) - c_tmp) && (f1 <= (f2 * 3.0) + c_tmp);
