I normally see the 'unexpected ...' error when I have a syntax error in my code. Check the code ahead of the line that's causing the error. Look for a missing (, ), {, }, or other syntax mark. Also check the header files getting included in the source file. Oh yea, make sure your class declaration has a ';' after it.
Good luck...

CString is an MFC class. If your project is not MFC-based, it's no wonder CString is not available.
You might want to consider std::string (available with #include <string>), which does pretty much the same job as CString, without MFC dependencies.

No, it is MFC project so CString should be available.

ok... this shouldnt be a hard question to answer, but knowing my luck...
i have a pointer in my header called:
char *M_Name;
The problem accures in this function: I want to Set the name that you enter in, then have that info stored in an array... in this case the array is
char Names[21];// for 20 names.
bool Name::SetName(char* NName)
{
if(!NName)//checking input
{
return false;
}
int NLen = (strlen(NName) + 1);
char *NewName = new char[NLen];
if(!NewName)//checking if allocation faild or not
{
return false;
}
strcpy(NewName, NName);
delete[] M_Name;
M_Name = NewName;
Names[NN] = *M_Name;
NN++;
return true;
}
when it gets to M_Name = NewName, it sets the name you entered into the pointer. Then i wanted to store that same name into the array "stating at 0" so i put in:
Names[NN] = *M_Name; //then i increase NN by one to change the memory slot.
the only problem is... when i try to print this info... i only get the first character of whatever name i insert.
im not to sure on why... i think i need to make each of the data 0-19 have an amount of memory attached to them, is this the right code to insert:
char Names[21][32];?
and if that is the right code to insert, how would i set M_Name to = to 32 bytes of memory without declaring:
char *M_Name[32];
?
Thanks for the help!

Names is not 20 strings, its 20 characters. Yes, you could use char Names[21][32].

Try this:
char Names[21][32];
bool Name::SetName(char* NName)
{
if(!NName)//checking input
{
return false;
}
strncpy(Names[NN], NName, 32);
NN++;
return true;
}
Like it or not, I'm right.

The 32 in strncpy tells the function the number of chars to copy the the string. You don't want it to copy past the bounds of your array.
If you send the function a 40 char string like "0123456789012345678901234567890123456789", it should cut it off at 32.
Here's a little console app to test it:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
char Names[21][32];
int NN = 0;
void vSetName(char* NName)
{
strncpy(Names[NN], NName, 32);
NN++;
}
void main()
{
char inp;
vSetName("testing");
vSetName("0123456789012345678901234567890123456789");
cout << Names[0];
cout << "\r\n";
cout << Names[1];
cin >> inp;
}
Like it or not, I'm right.

Oops!
The #includes didn't go through.
#include <istream.h>
#include <string.h>
Like it or not, I'm right.

<istream.h> is deprecated. Instead, you should be using <istream>, possibly followed by
using namespace std;

Are you by chance from California? There's a lot of Spanish toponyms there. By the way, in Madrid (where I live) there's a street with my exact name "Joaquín María López" --it was some politician from the XIX century.

hi all,
in one program i need to extract data from a txt file. the program extracts data line by line, but it doesn't catch the EOF.
i included the part of the code that gives me trouble below, if anybody knows how to fix this, let me know!
thanx
Fred
...
char c = 0, *buffer = 0;
int nc = 0;
while(c != EOF) // !! PROB
{
if(!ReadFile(hFile, &c, 1, &dwByteRead, NULL))
{
AfxMessageBox("Error in ReadFile() : %d", GetLastError());
return NULL;
}
if(dwByteRead == 1)
{
if(c == '\r' || c == '\n' || nc >= CHAR_LINE)
{
szSentence[nc] = 0;
return szSentence;
}
else
{
szSentence[nc++] = c;
}
}
}

From MSDN on ReadFile().
the return value is FALSE and GetLastError returns ERROR_HANDLE_EOF
when the file pointer goes beyond the current end of file. So, every time you get to EOF, you're generating what you perceive to be an error. Check for both instead of just the return value.
Alternatively, you could use c to check for the value of 46 (0x2E), as that's the ASCII/ANSI EOF char.

ReadFile does not return any EOF. Instead, it returns TRUE with dwByteRead being 0.

My team is given a task of developing a chat server. Ofcourse the server will be multithreaded.But the concern here is that we do not want to develop server using MFC. Reason is that we may want to deploy this server on LINUX platform in the future.
My question is that whether multithreading is possible using standard ANSI C++. Is there any method that we can develop the chat server in C++ using multithreading and can compile the same code in compilers like VC++ and on UNIX ???

If you want portability, you can use the
posix functions like the c-runtime library's
beginthread & endthread etc..
These functions will be portable across platforms.

If you want threads and portability, then use the threads contained in BOOST.
www.boost.org
If you don't want to use BOOST, then at least look at the threads implementation in there so you can get an idea what is required to do threading using PTHREADS. Then you can design your own system. The important thing is that the OS specific calls such as CreateThread/_beginthreadex are abstracted using some type of class or library. Then you just have to adjust the class when porting to another platform.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

With GetAsyncKeyState(), GetKeyboardState() and GetKeyState(), I cannot get the global keyboard state
under Windows 2000. How can I get it and how can I set it?
Can you help me?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
i don't know why you can't get it, but I can:
bool ctrl = (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & 0xf000) == 0xf000;
bool shift = (GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0xf000) == 0xf000;
works fine for me.

Thank you for your replay.
My scenario is:
When message WM_HOTKEY is received, I repeatedly checks keyboard state until no key is pressed. If my program is in the foreground, GetKeyState() cannot work well. Now I has to create a worker thread to check it.
Now I has another question:
GetKeyState() should return a SHORT value which is a 16-bit integer, and only the low byte is significant. If the specific key is pressed, it returns "FF81" or "FF80". Are you sure the above code segment can work well?
|
|
|
|
|
sorry, i can't help with your first question.
2nd Q:
from MSDN:
GetKeyState:
Return Values
The return value specifies the status of the specified virtual key, as follows:
* If the high-order bit is 1, the key is down; otherwise, it is up.
* If the low-order bit is 1, the key is toggled. A key, such as the CAPS LOCK key, is toggled if it is turned on. The key is off and untoggled if the low-order bit is 0. A toggle key's indicator light (if any) on the keyboard will be on when the key is toggled, and off when the key is untoggled.

i need to implement some search and filtering capabilites in my application.the problem is that i have to call dialog from my CRecordView class.that's OK but how to give informations for CListCtrl which is on dialog-from CRecordView
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that the list control is not created till the dialog is almost shown on screen. Most people try to access member control variables after they instantiate their dialog wrapper class. I suggest that you pass all the strings to a string array and then populate the list control in the initdialog function of the dialog using those strings in the array.
