    - Increment Function (PART2 Question) Hi, Here is the code: (((((((((((((((((((((((BEGINING OF PROGRAM)))))))))))))))))))))))) #include <iostream.h> class Counter { Public: Counter(); ~Counter(){} int GetItsVal()const {return itsVal;} void SetItsVal(int x) {itsVal = x;} const Counter& operator++(); // prefix const Counter operator++(int); //postfix private: int itsVal; } Counter::Counter(); itsVal(0); { } const Counter& Counter::operator++() { ++itsVal; return *this; } const Counter Counter::operator++(int) { Counter temp(*this) ++itsVal; return temp; } int main() { Counter i; cout << "The value of i is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; i++; cout << "The value of i is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; ++i; cout << "The value of i is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; Counter a = ++i; cout << "The value of a: " << a.GetItsVal() << endl; cout << " and i:" << i.GetItsVal() << endl; a = i++; cout << "The value of a: " << a.GetItsVal() << endl; cout << " and i:" << i.GetItsVal() << endl; return 0; } (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((END OF PROGRAM))))))))))))))))))))))))))) 1) When the code line: i++; in main gets executed, how would it know to call the following overloaded operator function: const Counter& operator++(int); // prefix 2) In the postfix Counter code below: const Counter Counter::operator++(int) { Counter temp(*this) ++itsVal; return temp; } It is the first time I see this syntax, "Counter temp(*this)", At this instance, I believe we are creating a counter object. And I do know that (*this) means that we can hold the adress of the current object int the "this pointer". But what are they doing side by side!!!!

    - Increment function? Hi, Here is a snippet of code that I am trying to understand. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((BEGINING OF PROGRAM))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) #include <iostream.h> class Counter { Public: Counter(); ~Counter(){} int GetItsVal()const {return itsVal;} void SetItsVal(int x) {itsVal = x;} void Increment() { ++itsVal;} const Counter& operator++(); private: int itsVal; } Counter::Counter(); itsVal(0); { } const Counter& Counter::operator++() { ++itsVal; return *this; } int main() { Counter i; cout << "The value of i is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; i.increment(); cout << "The value of i is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; ++i; cout << "The value of i is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; Counter a = ++i; cout << "The value of a is " << i.GetItsVal() << endl; cout << " and i:" << i.GetItsVal() << endl; return 0; } (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((END OF PROGRAM))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) My question is the following line defined in the counter class: const Counter& operator++(); Correct me if I am wrong, but I read this as an accessor function definition that accepts no parameters and returns a constant reference. However, shouldn't we call this function this way: i.operator++; instead of as shown: ++i; and furthermore why is the compiler accepting this if the function will return a reference to an object. Nothing gets assigned from the return of "++i;" ? I understand the statement a few lines down the program which is: Counter a = ++i; Here at least the reference is assigned to a new object! Can anyone clear me up on this, cause the next book example gets into a bunch of ++i; i++; and so forth..... -- Best regards Robert Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there? Tag: 250674

    - (MFC) How to use messages to communicate between CMDIFrameWnd and CScrollView? Alright, so I tried to use AfxGetMainWnd() from inside a CScrollView-derived class to access a function inside of a CMDIFrameWnd-derived class. It worked under the "Debug" configuration, but I'm getting a nasty error under the "Release" configuration: Coil error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall CMainFrame::setCurrRef(class ATL::CStringT<char,class StrTraitMFC<char,class ATL::ChTraitsCRT<char> > >)" (?setCurrRef@CMainFrame@@QAEXV?$CStringT@DV?$StrTraitMFC@DV?$ChTraitsCRT@D@ATL@@@@@ATL@@@Z) referenced in function "protected: void __thiscall CCoilView::OnEditRefrigerantselection(void)" (?OnEditRefrigerantselection@CCoilView@@IAEXXZ) So I've decided to do it using another method: by sending a message to the application from within the CScrollView-derived class and handling it from within the CMDIFrameWnd-derived class. However, I've made my own custom messages; I've just handled the ones the application generates for selecting different menu options, etc. So, how do I make, send, receive, and act on custom messages?

    - Incrementing a pointer to a one-past-the-end value? I wonder if the C++ standard says what should happen if I increment a pointer to a one-past-the-end value. I think it says that it is perfectly legal to increment a pointer to the last element element in an array - I get a pointer to one-past-the-end value. It is guaranteed that such a value exists for any array, so I always get a valid pointer to something (I do not care what it is). So, my question is what if I go further and increment a pointer to a one-past-the-end value? Do I still get a valid pointer to anything? Let me illustrate my question with a piece of code: int main ( ) { int a[ 2 ]; int* p = a; ++p; // OK, points to the second element (indexed 1). ++p; // OK, points to one-past-the-end value. ++p; // What happens here? Is p a valid pointer? And what if the array was allocated dynamically? } -- Angel Tsankov fn42551@fmi.uni-sofia.bg Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there? Tag: 250634

    - Where did my warnings go? Hello! I am using Visual C++ 6.0 for a major project which contains a lot of conversions between float and int, as well as comparisons between signed and unsigned integer types. The warning level is set to 3, so I should get many C4244 and C4245 warnings when compiling the code, but I never did. Then I used the STLport to compile my project and I was suddenly faced with hundreds of warnings, many of them where C4244 and C4245. I spent hours entering type casts into my code, so that those warnings would disappear. I thought that my compiler somehow "woke up" and gave me the warnings it should have given me years ago... But when I switched back to Microsoft's implementation of the STL, the warnings disappeared again. I found out that the STLport uses pragmas to influence the compiler's behaviour for warnings, apparently activating them. However, the default behaviour is to *issue* these warnings, not to suppress them - so there must be some corresponding pragmas in the Windows header files, too. I do want these warnings, so my current workaround is a #pragma warning( default : 4244 4245 ) after including any Windows header files. It does not work when I put this pragma *before* those include statements, which encourages me in thinking that Microsoft's header files are messing around with the compilers warning behaviour. Does anyone happen to know whether there is a macro that must be defined for the project in order to get the default behaviour? I see no point in setting the warning level to 3 in order to get warnings and then let those Windows headers spoil everything. To me, these headers are broken - does anyone know how it is with later versions? -- Matthias Hofmann Anvil-Soft, CEO http://www.anvil-soft.com - The Creators of Klomanager http://www.anvil-soft.de - Die Macher des Klomanagers Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there?

    - Callback Function in C DLL to VB EXE Hi, I've created a C DLL that is being used by a VB EXE. The VB code passes the addressof a function to the C DLL. The C DLL later on calls the function in the VB Code; If the function has no parameters it works, however when I change the function to add a parameter the following debug error is thrown: "The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call..." My code is as follows: C DLL: static void (* TestEvent)(bool c); //setting the callback function EXPORT BOOL __stdcall SetCallBack(void (* __stdcall TestCallBack)(bool c)) { TestEvent = TestCallBack; //testing the callback TestEvent(true); } VB CODE: 'in a form public sub Form_Load() SetCallBack(AddressOf TestCB) end sub 'In a public module Public Declare Function SetCallBack Lib "Test.dll" (ByVal CallBack As Long) As Boolean Public Sub TestCB(ByVal c As Boolean) Debug.Print "gotcha" End Sub Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there?

    - Assigning apartment to a COM component Hi, I have the following problem: I am getting two independent COM components (say A and B) assigned a single STA. One of the components (say A) calls a method on a third component C (in a different STA) that may in turn possibly go out-of-proc from C. Now as soon as this call goes out-of-proc, a call on component B, which was waiting outside the apartment all this time (as calls to STA are serialized by COM), suddenly enters the STA and starts processing. Now, when the out-of-proc call returns to C and then eventually back to A, it has nowhere to return, as the thread is already in use by B! I thought if A and B always belong to different STAs of their own, this problem will not occur. In that regard, is there any way which can ensure that a COM component with threadingmodel=Apartment (STA), after it is CoCreated, will always lie in a different new STA, and not join any other already existing STA? Also, do you see any other possible solutions to this problem? Thanks in advance, Regards, Sandeep Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there? Tag: 250625

    - How to get the physical device name of dynamic volume in dynamic disk? As we know, the Windows API QueryDosDevice() can get the physical device name of a partition or volume in a basic disk. But it doesn't work if the volume is a dynamic volume in a dynamic disk.(Actually, the API will return a fake name.) For example, there are 2 disks in my computer, one is a basic disk and another is a dynamic disk. The basic disk has 2 volumes, with drive letter C: and D:, and the dynamic disk also has 2 volumes (dynamic volumes), with drive letter E: and F:. Get the physical device names of those volumes by API QueryDosDevice(): C: - \Device\HarddiskVolume1 D: - \Device\HarddiskVolume2 E: - \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\MybondDg0\Volume1 F: - \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\MybondDg0\Volume2 (Note: the string "mybond" is the specified personal name when i installed the OS, which is Windows 2000 Professional with SP4.) Then, I use a filter driver, which is built on sfilter in Windows IFS Kit, to catch the IRP_MJ_CREATE IRPs when accessing those volumes, and get those volumes's physical device names like following: C: - \Device\HarddiskVolume1 D: - \Device\HarddiskVolume2 E: - \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1 F: - \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume2 Comparing the above two different names, we can find out that QueryDosDevice() couldn't get the true physical device name of a dynamic volume. So, how can I get the true name like: \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1 not \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\MybondDg0\Volume1?

    - Virtual Base Class Question Hi all, I have the following code and am a little surprised that VC.NET 2003 won't compile it: class A { public: A(char *) { } }; class B : virtual public A { }; class C : virtual public A { }; class D : public B, C { public: D(char *s) : A(s) { } }; int _tmain(int argc, char* argv[]) { D cD("hello world"); return(0); } My understanding was that in the case where a virtual base class has only a specific constructor defined (in this case, taking a char *), that it was the most derived class's responsibility to call that constructor because no default exists. Have I misunderstood??? I am getting two errors when the cD declaration is compiled: error C2512: 'B' : no appropriate default constructor available error C2512: 'C' : no appropriate default constructor available How should I code this so that I have a single instance of A which is a base to both B and C which are bases to D???

    - Converting local times to UTC I have seen a lot of examples of converting UTC into local time, but none for the other way around. I have written a log file converter that needs to convert between 2 different formats. The first file format has its times specified as local time, and the second has times specified as UTC. As yet, I have the date/time as a DATE, a SYSTEMTIME, a time_t and a struct tm, the contents of all of them are specified in local time. None of these formats seem to have a field or way of specifiying a time zone in them. I thought I could simply use the gmtime(time_t) function to perform the conversion. But it just gave out the same number as I gave in, so I am not sure what the point is. Then I read about the _tzset() function that prepares the time zone variables for the converter functions. However calling this function (before calling gmtime) has no effect. It appears from the gmtime documentation, that this function always assumes the input is in UTC which seems strange to me, as thats what its output is supposed to be. So I am looking for a conversion function that converts from local time to UTC. Any ideas? Thanks. Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there? Tag: 250500

    - Novice question - Pointers in a function Hi folks, I have seen some example code which is structured as follows. There is a function declared in a header file and defined in a cpp file. For simplicity I will call this function myFunc(). In the cpp file it is defined as follows (note, I have made it simpler for clarity) - void myFunc(int myInt, double *input, double *output) { // Perform some computation.... // // Finally output = some_value; } Now, in a seperate cpp file I use this function so I include the header file for the above function myFunc(). In the cpp file where I use the function I use it as follows - double fIn, fOut; double result; fIn = some_value; myFunc(1, fIn, fOut) result = fOut; The bit that is confusing me is the last bit i.e. result = fOut; I noticed that where myFunc() is defined it does not return any values, so I am wondering how can result 'get the value of' fOut? I realise it must be something to do with the fact that myFunc() takes fOut as a pointer, but I'm not sure about the exact underlying mechanism that causes this to happen? Generally speaking, am I right to think that by passing fOut into the function where it is accepted as a pointer, causes fOut to get set to the same value as 'output' in myFunc() Thanks for any help with this!

    - =?Utf-8?Q?Funny_linker_error=E2=80=A6!?= I have a class that I'm using in my solution. This is an Internet solution, and this class is something I share with couple of projects. Now, to avoid redefining the class, I included the header in both projects. In order to relieve my self from recompiling, I let the server (project 1) compile this file, and I added the client (project 2) the object file. Now here is the funny thingâ?¦ I have a clean constructor to this class (no parameters) which is called without a problem from the object file. Any method declared works very well, BUT the ones that has wchar_t * as parameters. Any function that have any parameter like this will result in a linker error " chat client error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: int __thiscall CUserLoginInfo::SetLoginData(wchar_t *)" (?SetLoginData@CUserLoginInfo@@QAEHPA_W@Z) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall CchatclientDlg::OnBnClickedOk(void)" (?OnBnClickedOk@CchatclientDlg@@QAEXXZ) " no matter what the function is, as long it contains this parameter, I will get this error. If I won't call this function the project will obviously runâ?¦ needles to say that this can be resolved very quickly by copying the values by hand, but this is a flowed programming style, not to mention extremely annoying!... wchar_t is, of course, defined in both projects (/Zc:wchar_t). I had tried to fiddle with some functions parameters, all passed but thisâ?¦ What do you think? Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there? Tag: 250364

    - Enabling Memory Leak Detection Hi, I am trying to enable memory leak detection based on the url below. If I use _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC instead of CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC in a test program, I can see the offending line numbers and source file get printed out. However in the program that I am trying to find memory leaks, I get the same debug output regardless of whether I #define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC or CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC. And I only get one line number <dllmodul.cpp(106)> output instead of every offending (leak causing) line number. Why is that? // based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsdebug/html/vxconenablingmemoryleakdetection.asp #define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC #include <stdlib.h> #include <crtdbg.h> . . . _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks(); OUTPUT Detected memory leaks!

    - GetDIBits is returning 0 hi, i'm geting de bits of to bitmaps into a buffer in order to compare then. the first time i call GetDIBits, it works ok, and returns the number of scanlines an correct data in the buffer. the second time, it returns 0 and does nothing in the baffer. if i change the order of the calls, the second still fails. i know that then bitmaps must not be selected on any DC, and i'm carefully with that. ¿¿any reason why GetDIBits returns 0??

    - reversing bit order Hi folks - I'm writing some code for a checksum algorithm and I need to reverse the order of bits in an unsigned char array, in 4-bit chunks (half byte, or nibble). Example.. the array contains BYTE data: 0001 0110, 0000 0010, 1000 0000 0x16, 0x02, 0x80 Each nibble gets reversed: 1000 0110, 0000 0100, 0001 0000 0x86, 0x04, 0x10 Each nibble will then be added and the results become a checksum nibble. I can do this brute force, one bit at a time, but I'm hoping someone out there will recognize a possible elegant solution. There will always be 5 bytes (40 bits, 10 nibbles) to deal with. Any ideas? Thanks. Tag: Are there any good GUI toolkits out there? Tag: 250334

    - Tree control: How do I get the expand / collapse icons? I'm performing a custom draw of the items of a tree control and I need to be able to draw the expand and collapse toggle button ([+] & [-]) that appears to the left of items with children. I need to know how to get that icon, and the coordinates that the OS expects the symbol to be drawn. I can't find this information in the MSDN.

    - Initializing member variables Hi, I did this test using VC .NET 7.0: #include <iostream> using namespace std; class A { public: //A () { } // Providing a default constructor makes it work int i; int GetI() { return i; } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { A a; //cout << a.GetI() << endl; //This call works cout << a.i << endl; //Throws Runtime error a.i++; //Throws Runtime Error return 0; } In the lines mentioned, it throws a runtime error saying that the variable is not 'defined'. The variable is not initialized, of course, but what makes it not throw the error if: 1) the default constructor is provided, which does not actually initialize 'i'? 2) a.GetI() is called, again without initializing 'i'?

I've been looking for any working GUI/widget toolkits that aren't MFC or
.NET with Office 2003/VS2005 style controls and docking. Is there anything
free or otherwise?

Try wxWidgets (http://www.wxwidgets.org/), it's open source and cross
platform, but uses native controls where possible.

I don't think wxWidgets has Office 2003 style controls. Correct me if I'm
wrong.

I was going to suggest Qt but I don't know if they have Office 2003 style
controls (not sure if I know what that is anyway <g>). You can check
at http://trolltech.com
They're not cheap though unless you get one of their non-commercial
versions.

Then have a look at BCGControlBar at
http://www.bcgsoft.com/bcgcontrolbar.htm (not free), but it's only an MFC
extension library and also not what you're looking for. Sorry, no other
ideas.
