Hi all,
Im trying the following, I have a character pointer and a char array, I'm trying to assing the value of the pointer to the array, with no luck, please help??
char* variable = "what ever";
functionExample(variable);
void functionExample(char* variable)
{
char Value[] = variable;
}
Thanx in advance ....
Only programmers that are better than C programmers are those who code in 1's and 0's.....

Programm3r wrote: char Value[] = variable;
that is not legal C++.
the easiest way to do this is with a string class of some kind:
CString Value = variable;
or
std::string Value = variable;
or, if you have to use a char array:
int iLen = strlen(variable);
char Value = new char [ iLen + 1 ];
strcpy(Value, variable);
Value[iLen] = 0;
...
delete [] Value;

CString is not the STL std::string class. it comes from MFC.

couldn't you just search the MSDN[^] ... ?

hello! All
i want to ask about a modifiction of the below line i want to know is it right or wrong and why?
Programm3r wrote: char Value[] = variable;
first:Programm3r has made a mistake here that he assigned a value var to a pointer.
second: i think it may be
char value[];<br />
&value[0] = variable;
thanks for your reply

I am developing an SDI application that communicates with an instrument. The application have 2 threads: GUI and a communication thread. Until now I have used the following method to deliver data from the comm-thread to the GUI:
ViewWnd = ((CFrameWnd *)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd)->GetActiveView();
ViewWnd->PostMessage(WM_MY_MESSAGE, 0, (LPARAM)PostString);
Is this a good solution? If not? What do You suggest?

|
|
|
Did it work?
Please post more detailed code.

It does work. I just wondered if this is good solution.
Here's more detailed code:
commthread:
ViewWnd = ((CFrameWnd *)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd)->GetActiveView();
CString *PostString = new CString;
*PostString = "This is a test";
ViewWnd->PostMessage(WM_DATA_UPDATED, 0, (LPARAM)PostString);
GUI:
ON_MESSAGE(WM_DATA_UPDATED, OnDataUpdated)
long CZFGMCommunicatorView::OnDataUpdated(UINT wParam, LONG lParam)
{
CString* InString= (CString*)lParam;
GetStatusBar()->SetPaneText(0, str1 + *InString, 1);
delete InString;
}
What I wanted to know:
Is the view is the best class to handle this or is the frame a better choise. Or if it is better to just write a member function in the gui and access this via a pointer to gui...
|
|
|
|

In my opinion an alternative solution to PostMessage is adding of a member function to your view, and then calling it directly:
CMyView * ViewWnd = (CMyView*)(((CFrameWnd *)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd)->GetActiveView());
ViewWnd->MyUpdateFunction(PostString);
I think this works faster comparing with PostMessage.
I hope this helps.

That's fine, you just have to make sure PostString persists long enough (and unaltered) to be handled by the GUI thread. One way to do this is alloc PostString in comm thread, and free PostString in GUI thread. If you are sending a _lot_ of strings then the repeated alloc/free overhead _may_ become an issue.

Hi all.
How I can get control's id "(Name)" property of a control of other process (vb6 app) via windows api?
Please, help me.
Thx in advance.
Best Regards,
Marco Alves.

first, thank you for your reply.
Sorry, because I've a bad english. But trying to do my best.
Okay, suppose I have a VB6 app. I put a listview on my form and name it lvwProducts. Now, I compile and run this simple app.
Now, in another app (a C# .NET 2005 app) I want do get the name of that listview, i.e., the name of the listview that is on another process (my vb6 app). First, I got the handle. with the listview handle I want to get its name.
get it?
Ah, I've downloaded a code from http://blogs.msdn.com/brianmcm/ but it only works if the listview is on an .NET process. but, in my case, the other process was written in vb6.
to use that code I do something like that:
string controlName = GetWinFormsId.WinFormsUtilities.GetWinFormsId(hWnd) // where hWnd is the handle of my listview.
the code is here (sorry, I don't know how to format the code here):

My goal is to confirm if the control name of the current hWnd is the name that I want to.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have the control's window handle, compare its ID using GetDlgCtrlID().

Normally, when I want to replace string, I will write the code as
CString str="aaa-bbb";
str.Replace("-","");
The answer is
str = "aaabbb"
my problem is if
str = "aaa"bbb"
How to write the code to get the same answer?
bacause, if I write the code as
str.Replace(""","");
The complier don't allow me to do that.

Try this:
str = "aaa\"bbb";
and
str.Replace("\"","");
