am not sure that i understood your problem correctly
but i want you to try this solution
put the line of code that draw on the dialog or insert data in the Controls
inside the function called "OnPaint" --> "WM_PAINT"
you will find this function and if not found bring it from the Class wizard of the Dialog.
the OnPaint is called every time an Update Occured in your window.
so when you will set the focus to your dialog again the OnPaint will be called which will draw and set inputs again.

I'm learning C++ and I think I have a good understanding of the basics so far. I wrote this program to take information from the console about a student, and then print it out in a simple tabular format.
The problem I'm running into is that for some particular reason, I have to getline() twice for input of the student's name, or otherwise it will be blank. For the life of me, I can't figure it out, and was wondering if someone else could help figure out why this bug is happening.
The bug occurs in function getstudentdata(), and the line is getline(cin, s.name); ... I have to have it twice, or other wise it will leave the name blank.
The error is present in both the visual c++ compiler, and the g++ linux compiler. Below is the sourcecode (which works). To see the bug in action, comment out the getline(cin, s.name); and compile/run the program. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Robert

maybe try flushing the standard input and outputs for that matter wouldn't hurt
|
|
|
|

I just tried your advice... I put in:
cout << flush;
before the getline(cin, s.name); but unfortunately, it didn't seem to solve the problem. 
The only other input I took before getline(cin, s.name)was
cin >> numofstudents;
So... I decided to change that line from getline(cin, s.name); to cin >> s.name; and everything worked fined up until the point where I use getline(cin, s.id); Then it skips input again.
How would I go about to flush the input for getline();

I found the solution...
By placing:
cin.ignore();
before the getline(), I don't have to use getline() twice. It took a lot of googling to find this out, since the answer doesn't seem so obvious:

But I would like to thank John DeVito for helping me out on this. Thanks!

Ok. I have an MFC app in VC++ .net
I have several Edit control boxes that I want to type in a voltage (in the form X.XX). Then I want to be able to take the voltage I entered, do a analog to digital conversion for an 8-bit number.. so something like voltage * 256/5, round the number to the nearest int.. then convert the int to the unsigned char representation. Now I think this will have some problems because there are several non-printing characters from 0 to 255 so the conversion will not work. Right?
If this is wrong let me know! Hehe. This is the easy way for me to do this problem.
The second way I don't know how to do.. same thing except I want to convert to an unsigned short.
The function that I am ultimately sending this data to takes an (unsigned char *)
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Also I would rather have unmanaged code help. No System namespaces. hehe. Thanks

Use GetWindowText to get the number (as a string) from the edit control.
Use strtod to convert the string to a double.
Do your calculation, whatever it is.
To round the number to the nearest int you have to add 0.5 then cast it to an int
int MyInt = (int)(MyDouble + 0.5); A simple cast always rounds down, so adding 0.5 gives the effect of rounding up.
You can do a cast from an int to a short or char, you will just lose some info if your int is too large a value. The non-printing characters only matter if you actually want to print them.

Well I don't want to print the characters out, they are just being used as a one byte representation so I can send that byte across a usb line and then do the opposite conversion, char to int to decimal. etc...
For some reason when I've done this before.. I dont get the right symbol.. or maybe I am..
In the debugger in VC++ the value shows up in its hex value and then it also shows the actually char.. and for the ones that I thought it wasn't working it was showing that weird square character....
Am I just stupid and its doing the conversion right its just not showing it for whatever reason? (ie cuz its a nonprinting). It also happened for a couple of values around the middle of 0-255 at about 128.. That's totally a printable character.. So I dunno.

You only have to worry about the hex value. What the displayed character looks like depends on glyph the current font uses to display it. The square just means the current font does not have a glyph associated with that ascii character.

I posted a question yesterday, but I never got any answers. The original question was about resizing a grid when double-clicked on. I got that part working, but the grid is still not redrawing correctly... There are other controls on the CFormView that the grid is covering when it's resized (like it's supposed to), but these controls are still showing through the grid until I actually move a scrollbar, then the grid is on top correctly. I tried RedrawWindow(),Invalidate(),InvalidateRect(), and even SetWindowPos() with &wndTopMost, and it still shows the other textboxes through the grid when it's resized. When my grid is resized to fill the entire form I don't want any other controls to be visible until they double-click it again. Any help?

I suggest hiding the other controls. It should be a simple case of calling ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) on them. You can use GetWindow(GW_NEXT) to find the other controls.

that's what I ended up doing. I used EnumChildWindows() with this function:
BOOL __stdcall MyHideWindow(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lparam)
{
BOOL* pbVisible = (BOOL*)lparam;
CWnd *pWnd = CWnd::FromHandle(hwnd);
int nCurrentID = pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID();
if(nCurrentID != IDC_PROJECT && nCurrentID != IDC_PROJECTSTATIC &&
nCurrentID != IDC_VIEWSTATIC && nCurrentID != IDC_FILTER &&
nCurrentID != IDC_CUSTOM1 && nCurrentID != IDC_TEST)
{
int nCmdShow = (*pbVisible ? SW_SHOW : SW_HIDE);
pWnd->ShowWindow(nCmdShow);
}
return TRUE;
}
then send it in a true or a false for which one I want to do, leaving certain controls alone.

I need to play a WAV file when a push button is pressed, I did try the Wave Class for Playing and Recording Wave Files class on this site but complained about the my WAVs being invalid format.
Any simple examples out there that work for VS 7.1
Many thanks.

At the very least, make sure PlaySound can play your WAV files.
Maybe they ARE in an invalid format, or you are not setting up the format information correctly prior to using the WAV play class.

I have a problem with the free instruction under win32, t raise an error when i try to free allocated memory after i allocated it with malloc, i don't know why, if the MSDN indicates that is right.
The code i use is some like this:
LPSTR lpCode=(char *)malloc(MAX_PATH);
strcpy(lpCode,lpText);
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hMain,IDE_RTFBOX),WM_SETTEXT,NULL,(LPARAM)lpText);
free(lpText);
|
|
|
|
|
I have no idee why you're allocating memory for a variable you don't use, but when you use malloc on lpCode you should use free on lpCode too. Not on lpText, which is a totaly different variable...
Wout Louwers
|
|
|
|
|
Excuse me i forgot these lines:
char lpText[]="Hello world";
...
free(lpCode);
When i free the memory allocated in lpCodeit raise an error
The first example code was wrong excuse me.
|
|
|
|
|
But the line
free(lpText);
does that exists in your code? Beacause that line is wrong. Please try your code without that line...
Wout Louwers
|
|
|
|
|
You should try
lpText=(char*)malloc(32);
strcpy(lpText,"Hello world\n");
...
free(lpCode);
free(lpText);
|
|
|
|
|
SendMessage is synchronous. It's perfectly OK to use lpText as the parameter. SendMessage will not return until the receiving window has handled the message.
If you wrote the control with ID IDE_RTFBOX, and overrode WM_SETTEXT, you should make a copy of the argument there.

Anyone know how to turn it off from a WinInet-based client?
I'm getting hit by Q263754: WinInet Application Stops Responding and Shows 100-Percent CPU Utilization[^]. The problem only occurs when chunked encoding is enabled.
They recommend that you use HTTP 1.0, which doesn't support chunked encoding, except that specifying HTTP 1.0 in the request doesn't fscking work!!![^]  
Their recommendation is to change a setting in the registry to force IE/WinInet to use HTTP 1.0. It would, of course, be extremely poor form for my application to do this so is there anything else I can do?
I tried setting a "Transfer-Encoding: identity" header in my request but that causes the HttpSendRequest() call to hang

In my quest for a simple to use image loading library I came across GDI+. I only want to use the portion of GDI+ that loads images, since it loads every image type that I would ever need into a DIB (which I can extract and feed OpenGL). However, I have the most annoying and frustrating issue: the image is not loaded and the lastResult member of the Bitmap object indicates InvalidParameter. Obviously I'm feeding it something bad. The relevant code snippet follows:
<br />
xBoolean xImage::Load (char *fileName, xBoolean mipmap)<br />
{<br />
BitmapData *bmpData = new BitmapData ();<br />
Rect *rect = new Rect ();<br />
sint32 format, stride;<br />
uint32 i, j;<br />
xbyte *tempBuffer;<br />
uint32 wideLen;<br />
WCHAR *fileNameW = NULL;<br />
<br />
if (fileName == NULL)
return xfalse;<br />
<br />
wideLen = MultiByteToWideChar (CP_ACP, MB_PRECOMPOSED, fileName, -1, NULL, 0);
fileNameW = (WCHAR *)malloc (wideLen);
MultiByteToWideChar (CP_ACP, MB_PRECOMPOSED, fileName, -1, fileNameW, wideLen);
<br />
Bitmap bmp ((const WCHAR *)fileNameW, FALSE);<br />
<br />
...<br />
The string fileName is being properly translated to fileNameW as below:
<br />
fileName[0] 119 'w' char<br />
fileName[1] 104 'h' char<br />
fileName[2] 105 'i' char<br />
fileName[3] 116 't' char<br />
fileName[4] 101 'e' char<br />
fileName[5] 46 '.' char<br />
fileName[6] 116 't' char<br />
fileName[7] 103 'g' char<br />
fileName[8] 97 'a' char<br />
fileName[9] 0 char<br />
<br />
fileNameW[0] 119 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[1] 104 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[2] 105 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[3] 116 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[4] 101 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[5] 46 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[6] 116 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[7] 103 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[8] 97 unsigned short<br />
fileNameW[9] 0 unsigned short<br />
The constructor for the Bitmap object is as follows:
<br />
class Bitmap : public Image<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
friend class Image;<br />
friend class CachedBitmap;<br />
<br />
Bitmap(<br />
IN const WCHAR *filename,<br />
IN BOOL useEmbeddedColorManagement = FALSE<br />
);<br />
Recall that the lastResult member is being set to InvalidParameter. Here are the possible GDI+ return values:
<br />
enum Status<br />
{<br />
Ok = 0,<br />
GenericError = 1,<br />
InvalidParameter = 2,<br />
OutOfMemory = 3,<br />
ObjectBusy = 4,<br />
InsufficientBuffer = 5,<br />
NotImplemented = 6,<br />
Win32Error = 7,<br />
WrongState = 8,<br />
Aborted = 9,<br />
FileNotFound = 10,<br />
ValueOverflow = 11,<br />
AccessDenied = 12,<br />
UnknownImageFormat = 13,<br />
FontFamilyNotFound = 14,<br />
FontStyleNotFound = 15,<br />
NotTrueTypeFont = 16,<br />
UnsupportedGdiplusVersion = 17,<br />
GdiplusNotInitialized = 18,<br />
PropertyNotFound = 19,<br />
PropertyNotSupported = 20<br />
};<br />
It isn't that it can't find the file, GDI+ is initialized properly, and it isn't any useful error. One other thing, if I change the line
<br />
Bitmap bmp ((const WCHAR *)fileNameW, FALSE);<br />
to read
<br />
Bitmap *bmp = new Bitmap ((const WCHAR *)fileNameW, FALSE);<br />
the compiler spits an error about not finding the constructor, which I found odd. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
