Yes,
I need to build a Dialog in which I would build a view to draw or write something. For example a preview o something similar.
Thank

Have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/customcontrol.asp. It should give you a good starting point.

Chaps and fellow geeks,
I have a pointer to an array of 10 chars (note that this is different from an array of ten chars, which allocates 10 bytes, the former allocates 4 bytes). This means, whenever I increment the pointer, I can skip by 10 bytes. I then proceed to allocate 100 bytes of storage (as I want to treat it as a 10 by 10 array). Trouble is (well, not really trouble), when I use new to allocate 100 bytes for the pointer I need to typecast the pointer returned by the new operator to the type of "pointer to an array". Towards this end, I have typedefed CHARTENARRAY as a pointer to an array of 10 bytes. I then typecast the return value of new like so: pArray = (CHARTENARRAY) new char[100];
I would like to know if there is a way of doing this *without* the typedef. How would I typecast it? In general, what would be the cast for a pointer to an array of x bytes that is returned, by the new operator when it is used to allocate x bytes?
To make things clear, here is the source (with lots of comments), you can compile it and run it if you'd like to experiment:
typedef char (*CHARTENARRAY)[10]; // typedefines CHARTENARRAY to be a pointer to an array of 10 b
CHARTENARRAY pArray = NULL;
pArray = (CHARTENARRAY) new char[100]; // need to do this WITHOUT the (CHARTENARRAY) typedef.
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
strcpy(*pArray, "HELLO!"); // Fill in 10 "HELLO!" strings in 10 slots
++pArray; // increment by 10 bytes (scalar)
}
pArray -= 10; // Go to array start (will decrement by 100 bytes, since scalar is 10)
for(i = 0; i < 10; ++i) // Display routine
{
puts(*pArray);
++pArray; // Go to next string
}
pArray -= 10; // Go to array start
delete [] pArray; // Free

Don't try to do it without the typedef. Using the typedef makes the code easier to understand.
Well, ok, to answer, I think the cast would be (char (*)[10]). But honestly, only Bjarne Stroustroup would know what that means.  Stick with the typedef.

Won't forget that in a hurry-it works, thanx Mike. I did try (char*)[10] - this didn't work, though I thought that was intuitive Looks like the right to left rule of reading declarations might come in handy even in areas such as this!
Cheers,

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
void main()
{
char *pstr="test" ;
cout<<strrev(pstr)<<endl;
}
This program isn't executed in VC++6.0, but in C++ Builder5.0, Why?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
void main()
{
char *pstr="test" ;
cout<<strrev(pstr)<<endl;
}
OK, then Borland is not comforming to C. You wrote code that is attempting to modify a constant string. _strrev actually modifies the character array/pointer, so an error occurs here because you are modifying a constant. The correct way of doing this problem would be:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
void main()
{
char str[] = "test";
cout << _strrev(str) << endl;
}

Thanks, Frank.
There is another question .
The program taken from an article "A Sample Generic-Text Program" from MSDN isn't executed in VC++ 6.0 , Whether it modifies a constant string either?
#include <stdio.h >
#include <stdlib.h >
#include <string.h >
#include <direct.h >
#include <errno.h >
#include <tchar.h >
int __cdecl _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR **argv, _TCHAR **envp)
{
_TCHAR buff[_MAX_PATH];
_TCHAR *str = _T("Astring");
char *amsg = "Reversed";
wchar_t *wmsg = L"Is";
#ifdef _UNICODE
printf("Unicode version\n");
#else /* _UNICODE */
#ifdef _MBCS
printf("MBCS version\n");
#else
printf("SBCS version\n");
#endif
#endif /* _UNICODE */
if (_tgetcwd(buff, _MAX_PATH) == NULL)
printf("Can't Get Current Directory - errno=%d\n", errno);
else
_tprintf(_T("Current Directory is '%s'\n"), buff);
_tprintf(_T("'%s' %hs %ls:\n"), str, amsg, wmsg);
_tprintf(_T("'%s'\n"), _tcsrev(str));
return 0;
}

Because when you declare:
TCHAR* str = "blah blah";
the literal string "blah blah" is stored in the executable. When loaded into memory, that string may, at the whim of the OS, be stored in a read-only section of memory. Thus your program fails when it tries to modify the string.

Same Problem.
_TCHAR *str = _T("Astring");
is a pointer to a string constant. What you really want is
_TCHAR str[] = _T("Astring");
This will store the string into an array. Therefore, it allows _tcsrev (or now _wcsrev) to modify the array. Of course, I can't say that it's "ANSI C" because this is a MS-specific type.
Heh, it seems that the sample program is trying to get away with this business. In practice, you should never modify a pointer to a constant string.

How Can convert BSTR to LPCSTR OR vice versa!
|
|
|
|

CString does it for you - it can be constructed from a BSTR and AllocSysString returns a BSTR.

Use _bstr_t to handle conversion from BSTR to const wchar_t*/const char*. _bstr_t is part of VC6.0's compiler COM support classes. Defined in <comdef.h>.

Define USES_CONVERSION; at the top of the method implementation you are trying to do the conversion in. then use W2T
void foo(BSTR bstrVariable)
{
USES_CONVERSION;
// conversion is done to the stack so don't delete on function exit
// and don't use pointer outside of method.
LPCTSTR pcstrVariable = W2T(bstrVariable);
// TODO: do work with string.
}

Can any one please provide me with a way to enable the inserting of tabs into a RichEdit control within a dialog based application. The rich edit control is contained within a tab control page therefore the normal action when the tab key is pressed is to tab to the next tab in the control.

Is there a function that can convert a CString containing a hexadecimal or octal string to an integer. atoi() only works for decimal strings.

Hi,
I have a MDI application, and I can display bitmaps and draw lines..
Lets say that I do everything that I wanna do on the first document.
I like to use to same data( lines, points) on my next document..
how can i do that?
Thanks

Here is a way of iterating through your open documents:
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
POSITION posTemplate = pApp->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
while (posTemplate)
{
CDocTemplate* pTemplate = pApp->GetNextDocTemplate(posTemplate);
POSITION posDocument = pTemplate->GetFirstDocPosition();
while(posDocument)
{
CDocument* pDoc = pTemplate->GetNextDoc(posDocument);
if (pDoc)
{
Having done so, there is no reason you'd have any problems copying data from one document to another.

thanks for your reply,,
I like to know,if this is a way of only copying data from an open document to another,
or having access to the open document's data,, or both??
In my application i need to have access to the data too.
another question:
Does this mean that I have to use serialization method in my application?
thanks

If you have the pointer to the document, then you have access to the data ( or at least get methods ). You can use GetActiveDocument() to get a pointer to the current active document, use the code I gave you before to get access to another document, and then copy between them.

I know that the Submit and Preview buttons don't look the same but I still managed to hit the wrong one. Will try again with the question.
OK, I am still working on my ground breaking Dialog based database application. Answers to my previous questions have allowed me to get things working the way I wanted but as always I have found another annoyance I can't work around.
In the summary screen for say Customers I fill the ListCtrl with data returned by a
SELECT *
FROM
CUSTOMERS
of course this means that the first column contains the Primary Key which I don't need the user to see. I could select each column except the Primary Key individually to fix this but this leads me to another problem. When a user selects a row to Delete a Customer I use the value in the first column as the key to delete the correct record.
So what I want is to Hide the first column containing the key so the user can't see it but still have it returned by GetItemText when I need the key to Delete or Update.
Can this be done?
Can some kind developer give me the function?

Are the customer names unique ? If so, you could build a map to hold the key. Maps rule.
