Hi Guys,

I need to build a MFC application with a RichEdit control,including functionalities like

[1]editing the text.
[2]It should also serve as a drop destination

could anyone provide info: on how to do it step,by step.

Thanks......

there is no more simple...

when you add graphically an edit box into your dialog, right click into the editbox, select the properties menu item at the bottom, and there you are...

can you help me to make an application which can recieve a call, and data from caller?
How to play voice message at recieving the call?

MSDN and the Platform SDK are probably the best resources for TAPI documentation and examples.

This sample[^] here helped me when I first started programming with TAPI back in '98.

Nice discussion point ?

-> this stood in the code:
bool bAllowUnvalidateTextResult = !!siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT);

Colleagues told me the "!!" was to make sure it was 0 or 1 false or true.
Is this so? Why not
static_cast<bool>(siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT)); ???

tnx.

The !! has been around for a while, long before these new fangled
template thingies. Its also less typing!

Also consider:

bool bAllowUnvalidateTextResult = 1 && siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT);

bool bAllowUnvalidateTextResult = siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT) ? true : false;

I still use the ? : construction a lot.

A couple of years ago, I showed some of my code to a fellow (non-colleague) programmer, who said
"It's obvious you've been programming for a long time". He never told me if that was a compliment
or not!

but don't bool bAllowUnvalidateTextResult = siteFlags.GetNbrValue(ALLOW_UNVALIDATE_TEXTRESULT); work too ???
bAllowUnvalidateTextResult is a bool, so, it will accept true or false values ; true for any non-zero values, false otherwise...

of course, a static_cast<bool> would have been more explicit and more correct, i think my code work, but i don't wan't to test it Big Grin | :-D

Yes it will work but IIRC it brings up a warning on compilation saying that their is a performance issue when forcing the value to bool.

I have seen this before, and if not commented such it can be misleading. Is there a mistake, i.e. did the programmer intend to use a single "!" ?

It is always better to explicitly state the intended conversion.

Yes, that's what it does. It's also very portable, whereas static_cast and bool are not.

sorry but the static_cast keyword is part of the C++ language... portable so.

for the portability of bool, i agree. We should prefer BOOL instead...

Maybe on the newer compilers, but not on the ones I started with. It's also not available in C. The point was that !! will work across the board whereas static_cast and bool will not.

ok if you want to port code from C++ to C... but you'll probably encounter many other problems...

but BOOL would in turn go into the whole idea of a boolean (only true/false) Smile | :)

if I'm not mistaken takes a bool less memory then a BOOL (in Java it is so I think), but then again maybe not.

but that would take us too far...

why BOOL would take more memory than a bool ??
one byte doesn't it ? Big Grin | :-D

Is a BOOL 1 Byte? I thought it was of size equal to an integer (cause 1,2,3,4,5,6,... = TRUE) bool doesn't know 0,1,2,3,4,...

bool is for certain 1 byte,
don't know about BOOL

Not really important when working with enough memory Wink | ;)

BOOL is an "int" and can have the same values as an int.

BOOL is 4 bytes on 32-bit systems.
bool, on the other hand, is 1 byte.

Fire up Visual C++ and run this code.

#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#include <conio.h><br />
#include <windows.h><br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char* argv[])<br />
{<br />
  printf("\nbool = %u",sizeof(bool));<br />
  printf("\nBOOL = %u",sizeof(BOOL));<br />
  getch();<br />
  return 0;<br />

perhaps also you wanted to write <stdio.h> and <conio.h> ?? Unsure | :~

but, ok, that's an evidence Laugh | :laugh:
