Hi everybody,
Here is a brain teaser for all. I have a class hierarchy as below.
The code compiles with a warning (C4355). During run time i get a run time error
R6025 - Pure virtual function call.
#include <iostream.h>
class CBase
{
public:
CBase()
{
}
~CBase()
{
}
virtual void Display() = 0;
};
class CTemp
{
public:
CTemp()
{
}
CTemp(CBase &pBase)
{
// Call the Overrriden function here.
pBase.Display();
}
~CTemp()
{
}
};
class CDerived : public CBase
{
public:
CDerived()
: tempObj(*this)
{
}
~CDerived()
{
}
CTemp tempObj;
virtual void Display()
{
}
};
void main()
{
CDerived obj;
}
The error here is because the base class pointer is calling a Pure virtual function,
which does not have any implementation.
How should i make the code work, without making much code change ?
Or are there any compiler options, which will circumvent the problem ?
Iam using Visual Studio 6.0 as the IDE for compilation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Saleem.

Try this:
CTemp(CBase *pBase)
{
pBase->Display();
}

here is the working solution
class CBase<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
<br />
CBase()<br />
{ <br />
}<br />
<br />
~CBase()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
virtual void Display() = 0;<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
class CTemp<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
<br />
CTemp()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
CTemp(CBase *pBase)<br />
{<br />
pBase->Display();<br />
} <br />
~CTemp()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
};<br />
<br />
class CDerived : public CBase<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
<br />
CDerived()<br />
{<br />
tempObj = new CTemp(this);<br />
} <br />
~CDerived()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
CTemp* tempObj;<br />
<br />
virtual void Display()<br />
{<br />
printf("hello World i am virtual");<br />
}<br />
<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
void main()<br />
{<br />
CDerived obj;<br />
}
changes are in bold.

The real solution is NOT to call a virtual function from the constructor. ISTR that in the C++ specification, it explicitly mentions this; the object construction is not yet complete, so there is no guarantee what (if anything) is in the vtable. More than likely it is the address of the function for the class you're deriving from. If that happens to be a pure virtual function, you're sunk.

But not for any inheriting classes, as the compiler has to construct the base classes first. If you call a virtual function in a base class constructor, the inherited class constructor has yet to complete, so it does not have a valid vtable pointer to the inherited class functions.
MS put this very problem into the CDocTemplate class, where they call a virtual function in the base class constructor.

yeah true, so when the consturctor body is executing the base class initialation is over.
So again i didnt find the code problematic.
eg:
class CDerived: public CBase
{
public:
CDerived() : m_somethingofbaseclass(56) //Wrong
{
};
CDerived()
{
m_somethingofbaseclass = 0; //Perfectly Rite.
pBase->SomeMethod(); //Correct;
}
.
.
.
}
You see constructor is used for initialaztion of the class, wheather the derived class or the base class. So When the body of the constructor is executing, the lower leve or the invisible level like vtables initialazation is over.

I have been searching and searching and haven't been able to find a good resource on how to work with images on dialog application I am building.
I figured out how to set the background image and stretch it - but as soon as I set the dialog to full screen I can't seem to figure out how to get my Dialog Content Centered - it just hangs out in the top left corner.
The other issue that I am having is trying to set an image as a frame with buttons on top of it - all the images, buttons and other dialog items end up behind the image - if I float over the image then I the buttons pop to the front.
Any pointers to an existing article, thread or even some hints as to how I can make this work would be muchly appreciated.

use blitting codes in dialog's OnEraseBkgnd(...) routine
.....
CBitmap m_BackGroundBitmap;//... global variable
.....

if(!m_BackGroundBitmap.m_hObject) return TRUE;
CDC dc;
dc.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
CBitmap* pOldBitmap = dc.SelectObject(&m_BackGroundBitmap);
pDC->BitBlt(0, 0, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN),GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN), &dc,0, 0, SRCCOPY);
dc.SelectObject(pOldBitmap);
return TRUE;

Hi,
I'm sorry to disappoint by asking you a question rather than giving you a solution.
The problem is :
I have a dialog based application in which i have created a toolbar . now i want to display tooltips for each of the items in the toolbar.
I have tried the following :
CToolTipCtrl Tips;
Tips.Create(this);
Tips.AddTool(GetDlgItem(ID_TEST),"Click to start transferring e-mails");
Tips.Activate(TRUE);
In PretranslateMessage:
Tips.RelayEvent(pMsg);
i have also tried:
CWnd *pwnd=AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->GetDlgItem(IDR_TOOLBAR);
Tips.Create(this);
Tips.AddTool(pwnd->GetDlgItem(ID_TEST),"Click to start transferring e-mails");
Tips.Activate(TRUE);
but to no success .... can you please help me...
Thanking you
Regards
Satadru Karjee.

I tried to use ::ExitWindowsEx(EWX_POWEROFF, 0) but it did not shut down the pc, instead, it logs off the current user. On Win2000/XP it worked properly though.

Hi,
I utilize Visual C++ 6.0 and MFC for many years.
I want to know a few suggestions of books to do a transition toward Visual Studio. NET, preferably C++.
I don't need web development now. I have remark that many books about Visual Studio.NET include web development. I am looking for a bok specifically for Visual C++ in the .NET IDE.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Claude

You need to write a device driver for that. There should be several free ones on the net that already do the work for you.

who can help me.
thank you very much
hCD = CreateFile ("\\\\.\\M:", GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);

ZeroMemory(&raw_info,sizeof(raw_info));
raw_info.DiskOffset.QuadPart =2000*2352 ;
raw_info.SectorCount = 10;
raw_info.TrackMode = YellowMode2;
Result=DeviceIoControl(hCD, IOCTL_CDROM_RAW_READ,
&raw_info, sizeof(RAW_READ_INFO),
lpSector, dwSize,
&dwNotUsed, NULL);
DWORD error=GetLastError();
WriteFile (hFile, lpSector, dwSize, &dwNotUsed, NULL);

How about ReadFile() instead of WriteFile()?
