I honestly can't remember Smile | :)

My guess would be that I just had to manually add all the files to a new .dsp file. But as I said, I really can't remember.

How to delete a single line in a text file (with or without MFC functions)?

Theres no easy way, you'll need to read the original file in, and write it out to another file without the line of text. Then delete the original and swap the new one in place

Hi,
consider CStdioFile::ReadString(It reads single line) and use intermediate buffer to write.
Hope this Helps.

Large Icon Display

I'm writing an 'about' dialog class and I wanted to display the application icon on it at 48x48. I can't find any resource that tells me how to do this. If I use a CStatic control it automatically resizes to 32x32, even when I specifically use an icon that only has 48x48 in it.

I can't believe this isn't possible...is it?

Thanks,

Dan

Does it have to be an icon? If you convert the icon to a bitmap then you can display that and have it any size you want

Strictly, no, it doesn't have to be an icon. However, I wanted to take advantage
of the intinsic transparency of icons, rather than messing around with blt functions to make my bitmaps transparent. That seems like a lot of work for an about box.

CFile::Open problem

I'm having a problem writing to a remote drive on a NT4 PC.
With two PCs writing different files simultaneuously to the same target PC, sometimes on one of them at Cfile::Open I get a CFlieException cause set to 1 - non specific. Just added CFile::shareDenynone to the Open statement and testing.
Any other suggestions to check out as this is an intermittent problem ?
Thanks.

well my question really divides into two:
i wanted to save new pictures from old pictures, and add the time to them.
that's when i got to my first question:
[1] i could only save the new pics as gif and bmp, other formats gave me
invalid parameter. why? and how do i fix it?
then i thought to myself "ok, nevermind, i'll just save it as bmp, and then
open it from a new Bitmap object and save it as another format". - wow, it
actually worked, but then i got to my second question:
[2] i can't delete the temporary bmp file, since it's being used, even when
i used pointer to a bitmap and deleted it, it still couldn't delete the
file. why? and how do i fix it? (i used the DeleteFile function)

can anyone help me about these two questions, or one of them, please!

thanks

hey,
is there any way to priview video which i am getting from a webcam, and also
capture it to disc in a compressed form, at real time.
if anyone knows please tell me, i couldn't get it to work (the capture to
disc part), and i haven't seen any examples on it.

thanks

The directX SDK has examples that do this. its about a 160MB download but does everything.

i've downloaded the directx SDK, and i haven't found any example
on the issue, however, i managed to resolve my problem alone, i
forgot to use addFilter on the compressor filter.
however i don't understand why it brings me so much CLSID_VideoCompress...
and yet most of them didn't work. what gives?

try, throw and catch statement

Hi world...

OS = Win2K with VC++6.0
I have some problem but I don't know who causes this problem (I suppose that's the use of exception)...!!! Confused | :confused:

The problem is that I catch a BSOD! Dead | X|

How the use of exception can gives me a BSOD???
Can I throw exceptions OR use return inside a catch statement?
Is that permitted?

Thanks in advance...

Hello World!!! Smile | :)

If you can I don't know, but you may (at least this month).
If you return you should delete the exception, usually by calling e->Delete().
You may also throw this same exception again, or throw another one. In this case you also should Delete() the old exception.

If you throw the same exception it won't be caught by this code, because it is thrown outside the try block. In this case it acts like it is passed through.

I don't use CException of MFC!!! I use exception class from the C++ standard library. Thus, How to reproduce the delete method of MFC?

You throw by value, and you catch by const reference.
No need to delete, you make these Exceptions on the stack, and if you re-throw it will get copied.
This way you can catch a derived exception as its base (say std::exception), re throw the std::exception object and catch again as a derived exception.

And NEVER EVER touch MFC exceptions....

I have a small hierarchy of exception classes, eventually derived from std::exeption, and their c'tors are filling the error-string with a sensible message, and then add filename and line number of the error to member strings, so I can have a look when debugging.

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

variables in namespaces

Hi, I want to ask if I can have a variable in a namespace that all namespace's functions can hava access to it, for example:

<br />
namespace foo<br />
{<br />
  int x;<br />
<br />
  extern void yak();<br />
  extern void bar();<br />
}<br />
<br />
void foo::yak()<br />
{<br />
  x++;<br />
}<br />
<br />
void foo::bar()<br />
{<br />
  x--;<br />
}<br />

Can I make both yak() and bar() to operate on x? I get a linking error this way, saying that I've multiple definitions of int foo::x.

Thank you, Themis

You can try something like:

namespace foo
{
extern int x;

void yak();
void bar();
}

(you dont need to define the functions as extern)

Then just make sure you instance the variable in one place only:

int foo::x = 0;

Resource leak?

BoundsChecker v7 is reporting the error 'Argument 2 in ReleaseDC (HDC__ hdc = 0xE00105F5) still contains non default/stock objects.' in the d'tor for CClientDC in the code:

void CHListBox::updateWidth(LPCTSTR s)
{
	CClientDC dc(this);
	CFont * f = CListBox::GetFont();
	CFont* pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(f);

	CSize sz = dc.GetTextExtent(s, _tcslen(s));

	dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);

	sz.cx += 3 * ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXBORDER);
	if (sz.cx > width)
	{ /* extend */
		width = sz.cx;
		CListBox::SetHorizontalExtent(width);
	} /* extend */
}

I'm fairly confident that there is no leak. Do you agree?

CFont* GetFont( ) const;

Return Value

A pointer to a CFont that contains the current font.

The pointer may be temporary and should not be stored for later use.

so maybe

CFont * f = new CFont( CListBox::GetFont() ); ??????
