Hi
i am declaring a global variables in SDI Appplicatin..
How to use this globl variables in other formviews??
|
|
|
|

If I understand you correctly, first declare your variable in a file such as 'Globals.h' and add that file to the project.
int g_MyVariable = 0;
Then declare it with the keyword 'extern' before it in a file called for example 'Externs.h'.
extern int g_MyVariable;
Then include that file in any cpp files that need toa access the gloabl variable.
#include "Externs.h"
Be carefull about using globals though, only use them where absolutely essential, otherwise stick to local variables - they are much easier to manage.

Hi
My Doubt is how to call this glboal variables in other forms...
Well i declared like this
1. Declare "static CString g_m" in APP.h
2.Declare CString CISApp::g_m = NULL in App.cpp
3.Use CISApp::g_m where ever you want to use
|
|
|
|
|
in that case you have to declare static CString g_m in the class !!!

Ya..
i was tryin to use this..
This works well in Dialog Apps..
but am in SDi now ..Its throws Assertion Failed Error
|

use can also declare globals outside an class or in a separete global class.

What line of what file is asserting?

To access 'g_m' from another cpp file you need to declare 'g_m' as an extern in that file - see my first post. In my first post I suggested that you have dedicated files for this purpose, Globals.h and Externs.h. If you do this each time a cpp file needs to access a global you can just include the 'Externs.h' so it makes life easier. Also it anables you to quickly see all your globals at one time, you could add the extern declaration to each file that needs to access the global but as your project grows it will probably get messy very quickly.

Why are you using UpdateData()? Without fully understanding what it does and how to use it, it will only cause you grief. Use SetWindowText() instead.

OK, perhaps I've missed something.
What is the linker error that you get?

Usually a global variable is defined in one source file (you did it in a header one).

i solved it...
but error occurs when i transfer the data to edit box...
m_txtlog=g_MyVariable;
UpdateData(FALSE);
Error occurs while displayin

 Really, I've been doing it that way for years!
(I suppose that's how I was taught to declare variables in embedded systems.)
Does it matter?

- If you don't include such header in any source file then you get 'undifined symbol' by the linker.
- If you include the header in multiple source files then you get 'multiple definitions' by the linker.
- If you include the header into exactly one source file then the linker will cheer you.
Of course this is going on my ...

That's what I do, I declare my global variable in a header called 'Globals.h', then include it just once! 
Then I declare it as extern in Externs.h and include it wherever I want to use it .....
The linker is happy, but I thought you considered it a bad habit or bad style and I wondered why ..... maybe I missunderstood ......

Well, if you define the global variable into a source file then you lower the probabilities of duplicate inclusion...

Please post the (relevant) code.

m_txtlog=g_MyVariable;
UpdateData(FALSE);
m_txlog is the edit control
i am using the above code in oncreate function...

You cannot do that in the on OnCreate method, since controls not yet exist.

The problem here is that you have a terminology issue.
You declare the variable in HEADER file (something.h) that can be freely included in SOURCE files (*.c / *.cpp)
extern int g_MyVariable
Where you and other have an issue is that you implement the variable in another .h file, that you actually treat like a source file.
So, your compiler builds some cpp file, that is the only file including this special header.
As long as you are disciplined about this, you'll be fine.
But anyone else coming along will be puzzled.
Some day you'll make a mistake...
If you put the actual implementation
int g_MyVariable = 0;
in a source file, then you can't make this mistake.
OK, you can, but any line like:
#include "globalvars.cpp"
is going to be really obvious.
I hope that helps a little...
