hello,
i was wondering which set of functions to use to store user preferences in the registry. is there an example on the web of how best to do this?
thanks,

If you're using MFC, I think the best ones to use are the methods of your CWinApp class, like WriteProfileString(),WriteProfileInt(), and WriteProfileBinary(). And use the respective Get***() functions to get the info back from the registry.

Even if you get your hands on a registry access class (and there are several on this website), keep this in mind:
1. If you want the setting ot be a PROGRMA WIDE setting, then youc an place it into HKEY_LOCAL_MAHCINE, but most users will onyl have READ access to the values.
2. If you want it to be a per-user setting, then you can read and write to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3. If you want new users to inherit some default settings, then user HKEY_USERS\.Default as the base key to write the information.

Thanks to all who responded; I have a much better idea of how to implement user preferences now.
Thanks!

could someone help me code this. I've tried everyway i know how.
1. You will simulate a memory bank of a computer using an array.
1. The program will read in an input file that represents a series of commands to the system to start and stop of different programs.
2. Each program will have an identification number (int) and a memory size (int)
3. Your program will search the array representing the computer's memory for the smallest available space in memory large enough for the program being called and reserve those array locations for the program being started.
4. When an end program call is made the program's memory is released.
5. If enough memory is not currently available, the program will go on a waiting list until such time as enough memory is available in one location or until it is cancelled.
6. The waiting list gives higher priority to programs started first.
7. Your memory array will be of a fixed size of 2048 units.
8. For the purposes of this lab the waiting list can be implemented as an array of length 50.
9. Output each action taken to the screen (program starting, stopping, entering or leaving the waiting list).

Ok, so what works? What doesn't work? Have you stepped through the code line-by-line? What does the lab8data.txt file look like?

Whatever you're doing:
1. Find a good/free/available debugger and learn how to use it. You'll save time. As David Crow suggested step through what you have and see if it works. What values the variables have etc.
2. Plan your program. I remember my projects, and I'd write them off the top of my head. You'll do much better to lay out and draw some stuff. For example you know you'll need a parser for the file. That's one block. You'll need something to manage your queue (add/remove items from it). That's another block. You'll need a way to keep track of what range of memory is taken and what isn't.

Hello there!
I figured this site would be a perfect place to ask about my problem (I came here because I was searching for a solutiong on Google).
Anyways, here's my problem. I use Visual Studio NET 2003 to write C/C++ projects. The nature of my assignments requires me to limit the length of the code lines by 80 character, because the code is printed out often and this is how our printers are set up. In other editors that I used before, there was a way to display the vertical dashed line so many characters away from the left margin, or to physically limit the width of the edit page. In VC NET however, I couldn't find any such option, and thus it gets on my nerves constantly having to pay attention to the length of each line of code that I write 
It would be amazing if I found a way to limit the Edit Window width (kind of like in MS Word) rather than having it stretched to the right infinitely. There's a selection margin on the left side of the Edit Window (where the line numbers are), would be great if a similar margin was on the right hand side too, with the actual text area in between being 80 character wide.
I don't know much about windows api, I work on unrelated projects, but I'm sure that it would take a few minutes to code this for someone who knows what he's doing.
I would greatly appreciate if someone wrote this add-in for me (or pointed me to an existing one).

I think the best way to go about this (and easiest) would be to write a VBScript macro in your macrose IDE. I don't know very much about the syntax, but I've written a few of my own macros by looking at existing ones (the samples that come with VS). I would write the macro so that it loops through each line, and if it's longer than 80 characters, reversefind the first space and issue a linebreak and maybe a tab character or something like that that would let you know that it was continued from the previous line, or maybe something like /*cont...*/ on the following line before the actual text.

Look for a pretty printer on google. There are a number of programs designed to make your programs nice to look at. (I think I saw someone use one built into visual C once, but since I've never used it I don't know)

First. I appreciate that you spend your time to read my question.
I have question about how to define an object array at private area.
For example: I have a class which is call base_class; I want to create a new class which is called
new_class; But I want to define base_class[50] in my new class. Could someone help me?
When I am compiler my main program, I got following message.
"studentDB.h type name expected "
But I didn't get any wrong message when I was compiler both student.cpp and studentDB.cpp files.
The following code is what I write in my program;

student_db database; //create a class
if(database.read_data(filename[0],filename[1]))
{
cout << "Data for " << database.how_many_record() << " students was read into the database…\n";
bool should_I_leave=false;

This line in studentDB.h
student student_collect[50];
is using student without this type being defined first. Just #include "student.h" at studentDB.h and at least your first problem should go away (I haven't compiled any further.)

Hi All,
I am trying to generate a binary image from a normal image and obtain it as a matrice. Could anyone teach me how can it be made? I knew that in matlab, it is possible to do it within a few lines. But how can I do that in VC++?
thanks!
Jason

This will taken more than a few lines.
First you'll need an interface, define how to open images, how to display them etc. The MFC Doc/View project created with the wizard will give you a skeleton where you can fill in the code for the opening/displaying. But you'll have to figure out how to use it.
To load the actual image into memory you will need a library that will decode the image from some format (jpeg, bitmap, gif etc) and give you the pixels. There are many libraries that do that. You can try
http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/cximage.asp[^]
You can also see the demo code and modify it. The page also lists other libraries.
The conversion to binary image you'll probably have to do yourself. That should be easy once you have the pixels to the loaded image.

When I start up my application, the main window contains a toolbar...Toolbar.bmp, that is loaded, I believe, in Mainframe.cpp with OnCreate(). I DO NOT want to load the toolbar. How can I keep it from loading? I have tried modifying OnCreate(), but cant get it to work. I am not doing something correctly. Can someone help me out??
Thanks.

Not sure what version of VS you're using, but in 2003:
1) Go to the CMainFrame .h file, and comment out:
<br />
CToolBar m_wndToolBar;<br />
2) Go to the CMainFrame::OnCreate in the .cpp file, and comment out:
<br />
if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP<br />
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||<br />
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))<br />
{<br />
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");<br />
return -1;
}<br />
and...
<br />
m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);<br />
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);<br />
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar);<br />
 Pssst. You see that little light on your monitor? That's actually a spy camera, and I'm tracking your every move...

hi everybody,
i know, this has benn posted already, but i can't figure out where (and when) it was asked.
...so here is my problem....
i have an MFC application, which is dialog based. a main dialog allow the user to type some stuff, and a "sub-dialog" permit to configurate the application. my pb is that, i do not know how to pass datas back from the Options dialog to the main dialog. and i'm not even sure of a good way to pass the state of the application to the options dialog when it creates...
if anyone could help...
i've got another guess. how can i, still in a dialog dox application, change the default button ? i've tried with changing the styles (SetStyle() or something like that) of the buttons, but it only changes the STYLE, and not the effective function of DEFAULT BUTTON.
Any kind of idea ?
thx for all
cheers,

What kind of dialog window is the options dialog? Is it modal? In general, get the latest configuration from the modal dialog window.
