Are you trying to ask how its used? MFC is basically an objected oriented layer around the WinAPI, but it's not just that, it provides a framework for development. As a framework, it provides base abstraction layers for creating objects, windows, threads, lists, arrays, strings, controls, and many more objects common in desktop development.

Emphasis mine: Personally I always considered MFC (any version) to be version 1.0.x of Microsofts attempt to make an object oriented layer. Even the most recent versions still contain way too much remnants of C-style programming to be rightfully called 'object oriented'. To just name one example (or two): the WPARAM and LPARAM parameters widely used in functions all over the API are IMNSHO an abomination all by themselves. Or the 'type', HANDLE: Try to figure out what that type really is, and you'll find there are quite a few different variants, many of them incompatible with each other (as I've learned the hard way)

My hopes are on Windows 8: maybe Metro will provide the long-awaited 'Windows API 2.0' ...

I am new into writing C++ providers.
Can anyoone let me know the basics of provider writing.
I mean I wanted to know about Provider types(Instance, Method, Indication) and why are they needed etc
What are properties, mof, cim, schema etc.

Providers are used to provide dynamic data which are not stored in internal datastore for the CIMOM .
More details[^] can be found in the link.
Also if you could google with "C++ provider" keyword you can get more results and channels to start.

How to Copy static array to dynamic array

Hello Friends
I want to copy an array of Point3 object to Dynamic Array object of Point3.

I am having Point3 verts[1000],which stores point3 for some size ,say 600.

i want to copy to another Point3 object with size of 600.
Like, Point3* tempVerts = new Point3[600]

Thanks In Advance.
Regards
Yogesh

tempVerts[i] = verts[i]; // i would be a variable incremented each time by 1 in a loop
BTW can you use a vector<point3> rather than allocating an array dynamically if it fits your design?

How'bout:

Point3* tempVerts = new Point3[600];
memcpy(tempVerts, verts, sizeof(Point3)*600);

Correct (+5)... but if it's dynamic then it would be more like (to clarify for OP)...

Point3* tempVerts = new Point3[array_size];
memcpy(tempVerts, verts, sizeof(Point3)*array_size);

//don't forget to delete from heap

There's a caveat to this: the data must be blittable.

You are right, i simply assumed that Point3 is made up of simple types like 3 coordinates stored as floats or integers, but of course this might not be the case.

The C++ way to do this would be

copy(verts, verts + 600, tempVerts);

For this you have to add the following lines first -

#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;

You will get a warning which you can avoid by using checked_array_iterator class.

Check if an document is already open

Hi all. I have an MDI application that have more then 2 kind of documents : CMy1Doc, CMy2Doc, CMy3Doc, etc. How can I know for sure if an document is already open, if yes then I bring it to foreground, if not then open it ? Thank you.

You would normally open your documents as a result of user action: button click, menu selection etc. So your program does not need to know whether the document is loaded, it just displays the content in the child window which the user then moves to front or back or tiled as required. Unless of course, your design is totally different from the Windows model. You might also like to consider using more meaningful names for your documents.

Try and open it with CreateFile[^], specifying 0 (no sharing) for the dwShareMode parameter. If the file is already open, CreateFile will return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and GetLastError will return ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION.

The code below will fail, printing the value of ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION if the file a.a is already open.

HANDLE f = CreateFile("a.a", GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, 0, 0, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0);
   if (f == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
   {
      std::cout << GetLastError() << std::endl;
      return 0;
   }

I forget to tell you that I will not serialize the documents ... In CMy1Doc I spread a CScrollView, in CMy2Doc I spread a CFormView, and in CMy3Doc I spread a CListView. So, in my application I want to open just once scroll view, form view, list view ... as I said, if one specific view is not open I need open it, if is already open then just bring it to front ...
(CMy1Doc, CMy2Doc and CMy3Doc is just sample names).
