Hi, I have created a simple tetris game for a school project alogn with some firends. I currently am having a dilema. I have two problems. One has to do with the topic of this message; I am trying to write the score of the game when ever the score of the current game is higher than the score in the file. So if I played and got 1000 points then died it woudl write 1000 to a file (points.txt), and if you played after and got over 1000 it would override my score with yours, but if you got less it wouldnt... Afterwards I want to read the file and output the score within on the score as "highscore: ___". So how do I do this? Source require please... visual is new to me...I'm used to dev c++. I am lookign for a simple way of reading and writing (like adding a .h and calling on one of its functions to read or write). I know abotu fstream but I cant seem to get it to work..
P.S) the second this I was having problems with is I am lookign for a pause function....but that can wait.
Thanks in advanced

>> I know abotu fstream but I cant seem to get it to work..
Your in a school C++ course and no one can show you how to get fstream working? What school is it?
unsigned long score = 0L;
std::ofstream os("sample.txt");
score = 1000;
os << score;
os.close();
std::ifstream is("sample.txt");
is >> score;
is.close();
>. I am lookign for a pause function

Thanx, so much.
Got it working perfectly 
P.S) Its a high school and we do things in Dev C++... which we had fstream workign in...vc++ is a bit different...

All resources of my application is designed in 1024 * 768 pixels resolution ,
after changing the resolution in to standard 800 * 600, some of the screen is beyond the visible area. i want to change my application in a manner that that must work in any resolution ( i found some applications do this very nicely ).
is there any code to do this?
and one more thing, how can i get the current resolution of screen and how can i change that by code?
Thankyou

Well the main stream approach to building desktop applications is to use windowing techniques to avoid any specific screen resolution dependencies. If I ever installed a desktop application that changed my screen resolution on me I would get rid of it faster than you can say “bite me”.
With that said here is a controversial article to that end:

ChangeDisplaySettings is what you want.

Just a guess, but I would figure you'd find the screen dimensions inside GetSystemMetrics

Hey All,
I am having a small problem setting the focus to a control on a property page in my OnInitDialog() function.
BOOL CPage::OnInitDialog()
{
CPropertyPage::OnInitDialog();
<snip>
if (some_condition)
{
m_Edit.SetReadOnly();
m_ComboBox.SetFocus();
}
else
m_Edit.SetFocus();
return FALSE;
}
It does not matter if some_condition is TRUE or FALSE, the m_Edit control always has the input focus. m_Edit is the first control in the tab order. Does returning FALSE from OnInitDialog() not work for property pages, or am I missing something?

For a CPropertyPage-derived class, you need to use the OnSetActive() method instead.

Ok, I am starting to feel like a complete idiot. I still can't get this to work.
BOOL CPage::OnSetActive()
{
BOOL ret = CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
if (some_condition)
m_Combo.SetFocus();
return ret;
}
m_Combo.SetFocus is called successfully, but the focus remains on the edit control when the page finally shows.

How about:
#define MSG_SETFOCUS WM_APP+1
BOOL CPage::OnSetActive()
{
BOOL ret = CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
if (some_condition)
PostMessage(MSG_SETFOCUS);
return ret;
}
LRESULT CPage::MySetFocus( WPARAM, LPARAM )
{
m_Combo.SetFocus();
}

That definitely works, thanks. I will use that hack for now.
But is it really necessary to go through that that type of hack to set the focus to a control? There is obviously something that I am missing.

Just because MS does it, does not mean it's not a hack;P
Thanks for the help and the link

I simply provided the link so you would have something to reference. Since the tab is the first control on the property page, it only makes sense that it would receive initial focus. I don't consider using PostMessage() a hack.

Give control IDs to your button and edit box. Then handle the BN_CLICK event for your button and add a variable of the CString type to your edit box. Then in your button's BN_CLICK event handler function type something like (assuming "m_strText" is the name of the variable you added to your edit box):
m_strText = "Yea im a newb i look like a newb i feel like a newb!";
UpdateData(FALSE); // Update the UI.
That should do it. Good luck in your programming efforts! 
Happy Programming and God Bless!

Like i said i am a NEWB! i got most of what you said but its still not working... I know im doing it wrong and thats why  can you maybe explain it a little better? Thanks for your time!

Ok. Let me try explaining from the begining step by step.
1. Create an MFC project using the Dialog application type (I assume that is what you are doing).
2. Add a Edit Box and a Button from the Toolbox to your Dialogbox.
3. Using the Property window, change the Edit Box's ID to IDC_MESSAGE and the Button's ID to IDC_MESSAGE_BTN.
4. Using the Property window, change the Button's Caption to "Show Message".
5. Right-click on the Edit Box and click "Add Variable...". Change the Category to "Value" and then the Variable Type to "CString". Name the variable "m_strMessage". Click the Finish button. You will be directed to the code view. Go back to the dialog editor.
6. Right-click on the Button control (the one you renamed earlier) and click "Add Event Handler...". Make sure the Message Type is "BN_CLICKED" and click the "Add and Edit" button.
7. Delete the comment (the line beginning with the "//") and type in its place:
m_strMessage = "Hello World! I am a beginner in Visual C++ .NET!";
UpdateData(FALSE); // Updates the controls.
8. Compile and run the program. It should work. Enjoy!
If you are interested, you could go to Amazon.com and buy the book: Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++.NET in 21 Days (2nd Edition), ISBN- 0672321971, URL-http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672321971/qid=1086480839/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-3025056-5268100?v=glance&s=books[^]
It will help you from a beginner level to knowing your way around the environment pretty well. Hope this helps.
Happy Programming and God Bless!

First you'll need a CEdit control variable (e.g., m_edit). Then in the handler for the button, just make a call to m_edit.SetWindowText("some text").

Hi,
I'm a newbie C++ programmer, and I'm wondering one thing: How do I use optional parameters in my methods?
|
|
|
|
|
well, if you mean this:
void function1 (a=0)
{
cout >> a;
}
if you call the function this way:
function1;
the result is that 0 will be printed
if you call the function this way:
function1(9);
the result is that 9 will be printed
