Hi
I've been browsing the job sites and a lot of places are asking for STL / ATL. I've been a 'straight' MFC developer for years. (Not in the "not gay" sense of straight, more in the Not STL / COM / ActiveX sense).
Anyway - as far as I can tell...
STL : Standard Template Library - vectors, maps, lists, deques - basically template driven containers, that have iterators you can pass to algorithms for fast, simple, flexible data handling.
ATL : Active Template Library - for developing graphic activex components?
WTL : WTF!
Am I about right / way of mark?
Cheers
Angel

Strictly speaking, algorithms are as esential a part of STL as containers. For some reason, people tend to focus on containers alone.
ATL : Active Template Library - for developing graphic activex components?
I'd say (I'm no ATL expert) ATL is primarly used to do COM programming with a little C++ style encapsulation, rather than directly against the raw COM API. ATL can be applied to writing ActiveX controls, but also any other COM object.
WTL (Windows Template Library) is a windowing framework built on top of ATL. A replacement for MFC, though (allegedly) much more elegant. AFAIK, WTL is no longer maintained by Microsoft (it started as a private project inside the company, actually) but I think a bunch of folks in the open source realm are maintaining it now.
What puzzles me is why STL and ATL are so frequently listed together: apart from relying on tecnhiques belonging to what's called "modern C++", there's little relationship between both libraries.

Part of the reason might be that when doing ATL you typically don't use MFC's supporting structure of general purpose classes - collections, etc.. So you turn to STL instead. I can see how that could have been the case historically - before STL had been incorporated into C++ proper.
Today, however, STL shouldn't really be seen as some separate thing. Every C++ developer worth their salt should have some familiarity with it - whether doing MFC or otherwise.

You're not too far off. Like you, I'm a longtime MFC developer, and until recently I'd hardly touched ATL at all...and only lightly dabbled in STL.
That's changing fast now, as I'm currently working on a couple of projects which aren't MFC based (one's a lightweight Win32 application, and the other a Visual Studio add-in).
For those, ATL, WTL and STL are essential. Unfortunately, the documentation for WTL and STL is not to be up to the standards we're used to for MFC and ATL, but given access to the source it's more an annoyance than anything.
Good luck! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi,
Does anyone know what the most efficient method is for copying a large list or vector of data (about 25000 elements)?
cheers,

std::copy is probably your best bet. Using it is going to ensure that your compiler has the best chance of optimising (no post increments or missing consts on iterators) and is easy to read for code maintainers.
If you're worried about this operation, and it's a possible bottleneck it is worth profiling the various options. Because seemingly obvious optimisations (like calling reserve() on the vector) might not do as much to help as you think. See the article by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo "Are Vectors Really Fastest?" published in the August 2004 issue of the C/C++ Users Journal.
memcpy is only an option if your data elements are POD (Plain Old Data), but even then in some (most?) situations the code that std::copy will generate is exactly the same as the memcpy code.
Custom STL allocators might help if your objects are reasonably small (a few bytes) - although it would be rare that this would be a preformance issue.

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

Hi,
can I use the WTL menu (with bitmap buttons) in an MFC Application?
(I need a bitmap menu, with some additional features, that would best work in both MFC and ATL/WTL components)
we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is Vonnegut jr.

Hi,
I'm developing an ATL Server Web Service and I'm having this problem: I perform a stress test (50 concurrent connections) for 15 minutes, and after the test is finished I find that the performance monitor (in the web service object) registers more connections than 50, but the worst part is that these connections don't go totally down. Almost always the fall slowly until they reach 20 connections and then they stay there (I've left the server on for one or two days, but the number of connections don't fall to zero).
These are TCP connections I suppose, and from inside my app I just have access to the http layer. I think that IIS (I'm working with IIS 5.0 and Win2k Server) manages these connections, but I don't know if that's exactly like that. I would appreciate a lot to know if anyone has had this (kind of)problem before, and in that case what was happening.
Thanks,
Federico

I have two COM class in ATL/DLL:
1º
class Connection
{
interface IConnection
Open(BSTR PAthName)
Close()
//Other methods beginTrans commit roollback.. properties..timeout type etc..
public:
Connection(){//initialize};
StructDB getHandleDB();//return private var m_handleDB
//+++ other methods & properties
private:
StructDB m_handleDB;
//+++ other vars...
}
2º
class Recordset
{
interface IRecordset
Open(BSTR StrSQL, IConnection *Connection)
Close()
//Other properties and methods fields value RecordsCount ..etc
public: //etc
private: //etc
}
I compile the ATL/DLL , I from VB 6 IDE , Refernce my DLL and I write this code:
'VB COde..
dim mConnectionDB as MyLib.Connection
dim rs as MyLib.Recordset
set mConnectionDB=new Connection
mConnectionDB.Open "Database.mydb"
set rs=new Recordset
rs.Open "Select * from Customers",mConnectionDB
rs.close
mConnectionDB.Close
The question is... How in the method Open the recordset class, can I access the method StructDB getHandleDB();//return private var m_handleDB ???????
I don't want put property interface return the handle... this property not necesary from VB.
If I used to CCOmObject I have got new instance the Connection and handle is NULL.
Help ME!! please

Hi,
This following code in a console application:
CoInitialize(0);
HRESULT hr;
SHDocVw::IShellWindowsPtr spSHWinds;
hr = spSHWinds.CreateInstance (__uuidof(SHDocVw::ShellWindows));
====> Returns 0x0x80040154 - Class not registered.
Can someone please help me why I am getting this error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try registering SHDOCVW.DLL using regsvr32 utility and then running your app.

I create ATL component with a number of methods. Some of them run perform long operations, and I need send to client application status of this. How do I have to add event to my ATL and listen it in a client application ?
|
|

Hello Dudic,
My advise is to create a separate thread in your COM Object to perform the long operations. As and when a change in status occurs in your COM object, you fire an event to your client app.
There are several points you need to note about achieving the above mentioned design :
1. Your thread must be a COM thread. That is, it must call CoInitialize() on start up and call CoUninitialize() just before termination.
2. The event handler interface pointer of your client (which are passed to you when your client connects with your COM Object's connection points) must be marshalled to your COM Object. They -CANNOT- be passed to your thread by simple copying.
I'm going to write an article on COM threading soon and I'll keep you posted when I do.
Best Regards,
Bio.

yeah Buddy,
you have to implement IConnectionPoint Interface in you class to raise event.
Follow these step->
1.add a simpleATL object using Insert|newATlobject
chose Simple Object and press NEXT
you find the Property Sheet there
#1 property sheet for name
Give the name to you object say ObjectEvent.
#2 Attribute
Check the boc for IConnectionPoint interface.
then press ok.
you will see two interface for your class
interface ObjectEvent
dispinterface _IObjectEvent
add method in _IObjectEvent thorough class wizard.
like
void MyEvent();
and implement this Connection point in the iObjectEvnt Interface.
you can get option by right clicking on class of interface.
and for notifying other user about event
you got the Event in you Interface class like this
FIRE_MyEvent()
and by calling this function you can fire event that can be handle by clientapplication.

sorry i don't have any knowledge about how to handle event in VC++ based application ,because i used to test application with VB.
i hope any good programmer will help you in this matter

Is it better to write controls in ATL of MFC ActiveX? What are the pros and cons of each?
|
|
|
|
|
As I understand it, ATL was originally designed as a more efficient way of producing these, so I'd go with ATL.

Hi,
Here is the part of the EXE code:
if (FAILED (CoInitialize (NULL)))
{
return FALSE;
}
...
...
HRESULT hr;
IWebBrowser2* pWebBrowser = NULL;
hr = CoCreateInstance (CLSID_InternetExplorer, NULL,
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID_IWebBrowser2,
(LPVOID*)&pWebBrowser);
====> hr is 0x80070005 - Access is denied.
This is happening only with Windows XP/SP2. On the same PC with SP1, it works fine also it works fine on W2K.
Can someone PLEASE help me to solve this issue?
Thanks

I have a problem, I am developing a ATL server/DLL of SQLite Database engine. I have created two COM class, (Connection and Recordset) to I can used how ADO tecnologies, but I haven't install MDAC ...
The problem is in class Recordset. I have MEthod STDMETHODIMP CRecordset::Open(BSTR SelectSQL, IConnection *Connection), because I have not access to public method class C++ CConnection, getHandleDatabase() that return handle to database opened. I have try CComObject<cconnection>* Conexion;
CComObject<cconnection>::CreateInstance(&Conexion);
Conexion->getHandleDatabase();
but handle = NULL ,,,
How I can access object C++ method of interface that pass how parameter 'IConnection *Connection'.
Sorry for my bad english
