Only if the application exits or is terminated. Things like services are designed to run for long periods of time so a call to delete is a requirement.

Thank you for your help.

Another related question..
if I have the class:

class ObjectA
{
ObjectB b;
}

ObjectA a = new objectA();
When i detele ObjectA (delete a), do I have to delete ObjectB (delete b)? or is it implicitly deleted?

Re: Delete object, necessaray??

And in the following case:

I have
ObjectA a = new ObjectA();

//...

Do I have to delete a (delete a) before I create a new ObjectA and assign it to a??
a = new ObjectA();

It seems like you need to do some reading on memory allocation in C / C++

When you declare an object like this:-

ObjectA theObject;

It is created for you, and it will be removed automatically when it goes out of scope.

When you declare an object like this:-

ObjectA *thePointerToObject = new ObjectA();

You are doing three things:- creating a pointer (which will be removed for you), creating a new instance of ObjectA (which it is your duty to clean up), and setting your new pointer to point to the new object.

This really is basic C++. *Any* C++ tutorial book/site will explain this; go out there are read up!

Stack-based variables, as opposed to heap-based variables (i.e., those created with new), are cleaned up when the variable goes out of scope.

you should never wonder if the system will perform such operation for you. if you own the object, then take use to delete it when you don't need it anymore.
if one day you come to work on poor operating systems which don't do this for you, or worse, systems that don't have any OS, you will have serious lacks of memory !!!

Serialization

14-Dec-04 1:17

HI people;),
Please help me out with this one.
I was working on a project for creating a Text Editor.
Everything was going on fine, until i serialized my data.
What i am doing is that i have an CArray of CString, so that a particular index in the array represents one line of the text-editor.
While serializing, i have to use a loop to write the CString of every index of the array to a file. But the problem with serializing is that it breaks out of the loop, when it encounters a \n. In my program, each line is ended by a \r\n.
I have even tried using Write of CArchive. But it doesn't work.
Is there any way in which i could serialize my data to the file?
Cry | :((

Help.... SOS..... Cry | :((

Thanks in advance. Smile | :)

Exception in CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog()

Avya13-Dec-04 23:52

13-Dec-04 23:52

Hi all...
plz read it completely...may be it will be helpfull for you also...

I am facing one problem, I get exception in the InitDialog of CPropertySheet()...

I have a Class named CXPropertySheet which is derived from CPropertySheet, I need this class because I want some extra effects and capabilites in property pages and propertysheet, like resizability painting background color etc...
I also have one class derived from CTabCtrl, which I use to paint tab buttons on tab control. I subclass this class to tab control of CXPropertySheet...

in the InitDialog of main dialog...
m_pPropertySheet = new CXPropertySheet("Logkey", this);
//++ Add pages to the property sheet
m_pPropertySheet->AddPage(&m_firstPage);
m_pPropertySheet->AddPage(&m_secondPage);
.
.
//++ display the property sheet...
m_pPropertySheet->Create(this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE);
//++ Modify the style,
m_pPropertySheet->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
m_pPropertySheet->ModifyStyle(0, DS_CONTROL);
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In the InitDialog of the CXPropertySheet....to make it resizable…I wrote this code…

// I get exception here...
writeToTrace("CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog");
BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog();

writeToTrace("CXPropertySheet::OnInitDialog");
/* Subclass the tab control. */
m_myTabCtrl.SubclassWindow(GetTabControl()->m_hWnd);
writeToTrace("Subclassed the tab control");

/* Make it owner drawn. */
m_myTabCtrl.ModifyStyle(0, TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED);

If I run it in debug it runs fine....It runs with Release build as well but in very inconsistent manner... but only on my machine...which is Win2000 professional...

I will be very grateful if anybody could give your thought for this problem, I am sorry if I have not described the problem properly...

thanx and regards...

I dont know what that exception was....but fortunately I solved the prob....
I think the problem was I was deriving property sheet from CPropertySheet nad the property pages from my other class, which is derived from CPropertyPage, so in InitDiaog of Properysheet it was not able to add the pages, I suppose. Then I changed the aproach and derived all the property pages from CProperyPage...Noe it is working fine...
Anyways thanks for reply...I would like to get tou comment on this...why it may give exception if the propery pages arent derived directly from CProperyPage...

Thanks and regards

SUCCES->tooltip/groupbox

V.13-Dec-04 22:59

13-Dec-04 22:59

Hi,

I posted a question about tooltips for controls not so long ago.
After searching and searching and searching again I found a solution so I thought I'd share with you.

Problem: The tooltips for controls in a groupbox do not show
even if you moved the position of the groupbox to the back/front (left and right Big Grin | :-D

). Nothing seemed to help.

solution: I called a TrackMouseEvent to create mouse hover messages. I handled this message in a PreTranslateMessage function. There you can determine which window called the message ... and it works!

(PS: actually I set a static text as tooltip for various reasons, but the principle stays the same.)

here's the code in PreTranslateMessage:

BOOL CWFSEC2MailerTestDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG *pMsg){<br />
	CWnd *window=CWnd::FromHandle(pMsg->hwnd);<br />
<br />
	TRACKMOUSEEVENT trackmouseevent;<br />
	trackmouseevent.cbSize = sizeof(trackmouseevent);<br />
	trackmouseevent.dwFlags = TME_HOVER;<br />
	trackmouseevent.dwHoverTime= 0;//HOVER_DEFAULT;			//0 < HOVER_DEFAULT<br />
	if(window != NULL){<br />
		trackmouseevent.hwndTrack = window->m_hWnd;<br />
		TrackMouseEvent(&trackmouseevent);<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	switch	(pMsg->message){<br />
		case WM_MOUSEHOVER:		if(!hover_on){<br />
									SetToolTipText(window->m_hWnd);<br />
									hover_on = true;<br />
								}						//end if<br />
		break;		<br />
		case WM_MOUSELEAVE:		hover_on = false;<br />
		break;<br />
		case WM_LBUTTONUP:		Invalidate();<br />
		break;<br />
		default:	//do nothing here<br />
		break;<br />
	}													//end switch<br />
	return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);<br />
}														//end function PreTranslateMessage<br />

tnx to all who tried to help...!

Any Suggestin about shrink/ stretch a BMP?

ytod13-Dec-04 22:25

ytod

13-Dec-04 22:25

Can someone suggest a simple way to shrink/ stretch a BMP? Better not involving MFC. Thanks.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
