Well, the database fetching data could be slow. Another could be the tree control.
To get the tree to fill faster you can turn off the visual update of the control during the fill. Lookup SetRedraw or WM_SETREDRAW on MSDN or your help.

hi,
i've been looking around on the internet for some flight navigation instrument on C++ (for free  ) but i always ended up on GMS and their 400$ activex.
So i was wondering if any of ya knew where i could find some?
Thx in advance

Dear All
I have a CListCtrl with a CImageList containing bitmaps. These bitmaps are displayed in LargeIcon View in the List Control.
I want that the user should be able to use the keys like left, right, up, down, pgup,pgdown, home, end etc. to move through the images contained in the List Control.
for e.g. if I am on the last item in the row, the right arrow key should take me to the first item of the next row...
How do I provide this kind of funtionality....
any help would be greatly appretiated...
Thanks in Advance...

I found a file in my archives named cstring.h dated 9/25/2002. This looks like a good replacement for the MFC CString with the same name. I just want to know who I should give credit to if I decide to use it. Does any one know who might have written it? There is one comment at the top of the file that reads: // CString class : exposes the equivalent of the MFC API, without the MFC

Since you only mention a header file, are all methods inline or is all of the implementation within the header file? This would seem extreme for a String class. You may need to search in your archives for more files before you actually get to use it. Without seeing the code, could it possibly be a copy of the MFC header file for the CString class?

The implementation of class is within the definition and non are inline. It uses malloc and free and I am finding out that the Format function does not work if there was no data in the string before use. Whoever wrote this probably has already fixed it. Following is part of the class.
class CString
{
// Members
protected:
char *m_str;
// Constructor/Destructor
public:
CString()
{
m_str = NULL;
}
CString(char *szInputSource)
{
m_str = NULL;
if (szInputSource)
Copy(szInputSource);
}
CString(const CString &szInputSource)
{
m_str = NULL;
Copy(szInputSource.GetData());
}
~CString()
{
Empty();
}
// Methods
public:
void Empty()
{
if (m_str)
{
free( m_str );
m_str = NULL;
}
}
void Format(LPSTR pszFormat, ...) // do not use, m_str does not have the right buffer allocated
{ // missing here is a preliminary loop that sums the amount of bytes required to expand pszFormat according to argList %s, %d, ...
va_list argList;
va_start(argList, pszFormat);
vsprintf(m_str, pszFormat, argList );
va_end(argList);
}

Do a search for CString replacement here on codeproject I know I downloaded one awhile back from here.. I have to head off to work other wise I would do some searching for you.. I'm sure you will find it.

Hi
I just started C++, but this code I found on the net blew me away. Could someone please help me understand, especially the lines market with a /**/.
void read_data_from_bs(void *data, int bits_of_data,
unsigned char *bit_stream, unsigned long & bit_offset)
{
int i;
int n;
while (bits_of_data > 0)
{ // <-- Colored with red by Instant Match
n = bits_of_data > 8 ? 8 : bits_of_data; /**/
*(unsigned char *)data = 0;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if (read_bit(bit_stream, bit_offset))
{
(*(unsigned char *)data) |= (1 << i); /**/
}
bit_offset++ ;
}
data = ((unsigned char *)data) + 1; /**/
bits_of_data -= n;
}
}

n = bits_of_data > 8 ? 8 : bits_of_data; /**/
First, we test if the value of bits_of_data is greater than 8 (bits_of_data > 8 ?). If yes, we store 8 into n, if no, we store the value of bits_of_data into n. These is another syntax for this:
if (bits_of_data>8)<br />
n = 8;<br />
else<br />
n = bits_of_data;
Brakanjan wrote:
(*(unsigned char *)data) |= (1 << i); /**/
A little bit trickier to understand... (unsigned char*)data means we cast the void pointer data into a pointer to unsigned char. >(*(unsigned char*)data) means we acces to the value that is pointed by data. (1 << i) is a bit shifting (so we put the i bit at 1 and the other are left to 0). So, with the | operator means that you leave all the bits inside your pointer the same but put the bit i to 1... Hum, hope this is clear enough because it's not easy to explain 
Brakanjan wrote:
data = ((unsigned char *)data) + 1; /**/
Means that you increment the data pointer -> so you go to the next value pointed by data.

Ok, there are a few things that may be confusing to a new C programmer
The ? notation can be incredibly baffling if you've never seen it before - it's basically a kind of condensed if-else statement
e.g.
if( n == 0 )
{
x = 42;
}
else
{
x = 0;
}
could be written as
x = (n==0) ? 42 : 0; (but it's pretty awful to have to read later, so this syntax tends not to get used very much in practice!)
<< and >> are "shift" operators - they perform a binary shift on a number:
1 << 8 would be the binary number 100000000 (or the decimal number 256)
A line like ((unsigned char*)data) is called a Cast - it's basically telling the compiler to treat the variable data as if it was of type unsigned char*
Any good C programming book should have more details on these

The line:
{ // <-- Colored with red by Instant Match
Makes me suspect that this was autogenerated by some other program. I have no idea what that could be. (though it might be one of your comments and I misunderstood it) In general machine generated source code is difficult to understand.
The things confusing you are rarely used C abilities. Look them up in a book, you may need them latter, but don't worry about understanding exactly what they are doing until you are more advanced. You can program for a long time without needing any of these tricky parts.
I'm assuming that you are just reading this code. If you picked it because there is a reason you want to change it, then go slow. This is some tricky stuff.
n = bits_of_data > 8 ? 8 : bits_of_data;
You are setting n to something. Others have explained exactly what just fine. The important thing to remember when you see the "? :" operator is that n is important, not the if statement to decide what to set it too. Many programers live their entire life without using "? :", but experts know that used correctly it can make your code more readable. if else should be used far more often.

I came across the code while searching for a nice hex viewer/editor, so I have no idea who/what wrote it.
One more thing: I see the variables accepted by the procedure is unsigned char *bit_stream and unsigned long & bit_offset, which if I remember correctly * refers to the the address and & to the value, or how should that be interpreted? how do you know which to use?
tx for the help
|

No in fact the * is the indirection operator. It is used to access the value pointed by a pointer. So, when you declare a pointer (int* pTest for example), it must be read like that: "the value pointed by pTest is an integer". So, it means that pTest is a pointer.
The & represent the adress of something (can be a value, a char, or even a pointer...). So, when you write
int Value = 0;, &Value represent the adress of your integer...
So applying this in your case in the function, when you write unsigned char* bit_stream means that you are passing not the value but the pointer to an unsigned char.
For your second argument, this is a little bit different: when you use the & for one of your parameter of your function, that means that this parameter is passed by reference and not by value. In other word that means implicitely that the adress of your variable is passed to the function and so, if you modify the content of it, it will be visible outside of your func (the function doesn't make a copy of the value but work directly on it).
In general you use the pointer (*) when you need to pass an array, and you use the (&) when you need to get a value from your function (but without returning it with return...).
Hope this is a little bit clearer
|
|
|
|

yes, I think I've got it. A pointer is used when the value of an array will (probably) be changed in the procedure, and a & is used if only a value is needed.
tx indeed.

Not really, it can be used also just to pass an array (even when you don't need to modify things in it). You can just pass an array by supplying the adress of its first element... And an array contains more than one value (by definition  ).
But in essence this is it

I have seen applications where the initial data entry dialog is small but when the user selects the 'Advance' option a lot more information is displayed on a larger dialog.
Does anyone know how this is done as I would like to display a listCtrl, buttons and labels when the use selects the 'More Information' options on a small dialog.
Regards,
|

|
|

Does anyone know how this is done
yes.
when the user clicks on "more infor", you need to manually resize the dialog, that will make the controls "visible" or not to the user.

A little more information would be useful. Do I use the SetWindowPos() to be a small dialog at initialisation and then resize to a larger dialog when the 'More Info' button is hit?
Is it trial and error to guess the units/size?
|
|
|
|

MFC measures dialogs in a ratio of the font size, so it can be a bit hit or miss (try changing your system font size to be bigger, then run your app, and you'll see it's got bigger too!)
I did something like what you're attempting in the past, and found the easiest solution was to add a simple frame at the bottom (the size of the area that gets shown/hidden)
At run time, you can find the height of this control, and resize the dialog window accordingly - this'll make it much easier if you keep going back to add extra controls to the "hidden" part

Hi,
You can simply use MoveWindow(int x, int y, int nWidth, int nHeight, BOOL bRedraw = FALSE) on the click on 'More Settings' button and expand/collapse the dialog using required width and height.
This will solve ur problem.

Yes. See the "Expanding and Contracting your dialog boxes" section of this article for an example. Here is another example, in the "More / Less Detail on Dialog" section.

This is surely an easy q for you but I don’t remember how to do it…
How do I get the size of the users screen?
