Thanks CPallini,
I think you mean,
1. *me2_ptr is value of array type, and wcout is overloaded to print out the string array;
2. me2_ptr is address of array type, and wcount will print the address of array.
Right?
regards,
George

Technically the ostream extraction operator << is overloaded, but, poorly speaking the answer is yes.

Cpallini has already explained at some length (to me too!) how the address of an array has the same value for convenience to printf (and it's relations).
The two bits of code you've shown do the same thing with derefencing. The only difference is that the wcout is clever enough to go "oh, I won't give a number, I'll give a lump of text - aren't I helpful?".
The short answer to question 2
BECAUSE.
Longer answer...
Because it has been defined that way by people cleverer than us.
Is this feature causing you problems?
Iain.

Hi,
I am using WM_CTLCOLOR to make the static text transparent and change the font and colour. Please can you tell me how to do the font-clean-up action if any is required here?
HBRUSH CF4_NewEstimate::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
HBRUSH hbr = CResizableFormView::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
CFont *m_pFont = new CFont;
m_pFont->CreateFont(12,0,0,0,600,0,0,0,0,0,0,ANTIALIASED_QUALITY,0,"MS Sans Serif");
CFont *pOldFont = NULL;
switch (nCtlColor)
{
case CTLCOLOR_STATIC:
pDC->SelectObject(m_pFont);
hbr = (HBRUSH)::GetStockObject (HOLLOW_BRUSH);
pDC->SetBkMode (TRANSPARENT);
pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,128,0));
break;
}
return hbr;
}
Thanks.

This is not the correct way to change the font of a window. You should call the SetFont() function to change the font and this need to be done only once( in OnInitdialog() or OnIntitialUpdate() function etc ).

I want to add a 16-bit color cursor.
But when I insert a new cursor, there is a default monochrome one, and LoadCursor will use that one by default. How to use 16-bit cursor?
|
|
|
|

Just design your cursor in the resource editor, give it a IDC_NAME and use ::LoadCursor and ::SetCursor.
if you load it but not set it active...

setted, but the monochrome one using the same ID takes effect

This is to set the normal white arrow that is always in all MFC-Win32 app by default.
HCURSOR m_hCursor;
;
m_hCursor=AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_ARROW);
if (m_hCursor)
::SetCursor (m_hCursor);
And here I set my own drawn cursor
m_hCursor=AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(IDC_SELPOINT);
if (m_hCursor)
::SetCursor (m_hCursor);
Note that the ID that I use to load my own cursor is the ID that I give to the cursor in my resources editor.
What are you making?
Greetings.

That's just what I do.
The problem is that I added a "16-bit color" cursor, not the default monochrome one. But LoadCursor will load the monochrome one instead of the "16-bit color" one. They have the same ID.

How can one determmine if a given floating point variable is a mathematical integer (1,2,3,4,5...)? I figured I could divide by one and check for zero as a remainder. Doesn't work.
float fNumber = 861;
float one = 1;
fmod(fNumber, one)
modf(fNumber, one)
Both of these return a value of .9998936354755 (or some other decimal very close to 1).
I've tried various combinations of float and double, but get the same results.
Ideas? Thanks.

It's floating point inaccuracy occured on every common pc.
Control it manually.
For example:
float f=861;
When you assin 861, it could be a little more or a little less than it,
like 860.99999 or 861.00001
You can do like this:
f+=0.00001f to make sure it is a little more than 861
...

This is not true, the floating point standard guarantees that integer representation is perfect, so
float f = 861;
will result in f being 861 precisely. Integer arithmetic also is precise if it stays integral, so
f = float(1722)/float(2);
results in f being 861 precisely. Once your expression moves away from being able to be represented exactly then the sorts of precision errors you mention occur. e.g.
f = (float(10)/float(3))*float(3);
should be 10 but you will see rounding errors.

I don't know of a simple test, but you can use floor(), ceil() or fmod() to help. e.g.
if (f == floor(f)) {}<br />
<br />
if (f == ceil(f)) {}<br />
<br />
float intPart;<br />
if (fmod(f,&intPart) == 0) {}
I don't know what is most efficient if speed is important.

Hi,
My project is written in C++ using MFC and VC++ .NET 2005.
My problem is this:
When I run my program on any computer that has .NET 2005, it seems to work fine. However, if I move it over to a computer without any IDE (like a fresh WinXP SP2 install) it crashes whenever I try to call an application-specific dll file.
So it's like this, let's say a part of my application uses a dll file called utils.dll. Utils.dll normally is used to start up a "utility" thread which accesses a database that contains various useful information. Normally the application runs fine, however, if I move it to another computer (along with all of the dlls I can think of that it might possibly need) it will crash as soon as I try to call a function from utils.dll (utils.dll IS in the folder with the program where it should be, and I know it's loading because I can still call static functions from it).
Any idea of what might be happening?
I have all the dlls included that I could think of (mfc80.dll, msvcr80.dll, etc etc) but I feel like maybe I'm missing one somehow and I don't know how to tell what it could be.
Sorry if I made this sound overly complicated, but it's a very irritating problem.
Thanks!

I am using installsheild dev studio 9. I have a install program that looks for a serial number when you enter it in a blank field. At the time of purchase, our customers receive the serial and need to enter it when they install. The problem is that the serial number has dashes and 25% of our customers cant figure out to use the dashes.
I came up with the Idea of (same as windows vista style) of having the program automatically insert the dash or have 3 boxes that automatically change focus. How is this done??

For the former, check out masked edit controls.
For the latter, handle the EN_CHANGE message for each edit control. Each time that notification is received, check to see how many characters are in the control. If three, send the window a WM_NEXTDLGCTL message.

Hi, this one is for the MFC aces:
I got a rather complicated CListCtrl (owner draw and owner data) with a 100 entries, though I don't think that should matter for this issue.
Calling SetItemState(...) takes me about 30 ms on my rather new PC (maybe half the time in release mode), when it has to alter an item state. When the item state stays the same, it returns instantly.
Calling SetItemState(-1, ...) takes about the same time as any other SetItemState(...) call, even if it alters all items.
It doesn't really make a difference if the ListCtrl is SW_SHOW or SW_HIDDEN and setting ListCtrl.SetRedraw(false) doesn't help either.
When just a couple of items are changed at the same time, I get a noticeable break. Has anybody experienced something similar or knows a work-around? (I'm just asking before starting to write test cases)
Thanks in advance,
Andy

It sounds like the list control is sending messages to announce the state change before it returns. I'm not sure there is any way to disable that.

Hi all,
I am trying to display a char string that contains following character: " (one double quote).
If I write:
char * c = " some string " ";
Now you see the problem I encounter, The second quote is taken as end of the string. But I want it to be displayed inside the string. So, how can I manage to display: some string "
Thanks !

You use the escape character "\":
char* c = " some string \" ";

Hi!
I run a simulation program as a child from another application. The program is a bit time consuming, so, as a user-feedback, I want the names of the output-files that are generated to be listed in a text-box, as the simulations are carried out. The child-program should in other words just display the dialog with the text-box, perform the simulations, and for each one add a file-name to the text box, and finally close the dialog and terminate after the last one. Whithout the need to click any buttons.
My question is "where do I put the call to the simulation function? Placing it at the end of the OnInitDialog-function makes the dialog show up first at the very end of the last siimulation.
