Thanks for the interest, Christian. Here is the block of code that does work:
hash_map<float,float> intmap;
intmap.insert(pair<float,float>(5,.7) );
and here is what doesn't work:
hash_map<wstring,wstring> intmap;
intmap.insert(pair<wstring,wstring>(L"",L"") );
All I did was change "int" to "wstring" and the values to blank wide strings. The compiler complains about a type cast between wstring and size_t. The compiler points to this block of code in the file xhash as being the problem:
size_t operator()(const _Kty& _Keyval) const
{ // hash _Keyval to size_t value
return ((size_t)_Keyval);
}
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I have never had problems with templates before like this. Thanks for your help.

I suspect you may need to provide the algorithm for getting a key out of a string before you can pass a string in. I'm not sure though, if you're still stuck I'll have a look at home tonight. I've been itching to in any case

To use hash_map, you object must be able to provide a hash value. Thus the failure to type cast to an int.

I'd suspect this is both right and wrong.

The compiler complains about a type cast between wstring and size_t.
size_t operator()(const _Kty& _Keyval) const
{
return ((size_t)_Keyval);
}
And indeed it seems the compiler should complain here. You must provide a size_t returning conversion function for wstring.
Now I don't know if that size_t is a map::size_t or ::size_t, but perhaps something like the following can help:
size_t operator size_t(const wstring& w)
{
return your_wstring_to_size_t_hash_function(w);
}

Hi.
Class CProgressCtrl is functionally simple and easy to understand. Nonetheless, I do have one question. How do you calculate the time duration from the start of a job (0% progression) to the completion (100% progression).
For example, let say we have a program that converts all letters in a text file into uppercase.
Original text file:
a
b
c
Output text file:
A
B
C
How do you implement a progression bar such that it displays the completetion animation accurately? I know the example above takes less than a second, but lets just imagine that it takes 10 *or* more.
Thanks,
Kuphryn

You'd need to get the length of the file and divide it by 100.
It's often difficult to get an exact idea of how long something will take, and often it seems to use more milestones than individual steps. i.e. I can break down my task into 7 sub tasks, I don't know how long most of those will take, so I step the progress counter 7 times instead.

Thanks.
To my understanding, there no accurate way to handle the process completion percentage. We can approximate. Approximating is good enough for some programs.

In one of my apps, I have a repetative task that takes a certain amount of time. I need a progress on the individual task and an overall task. What I do is estimate how long the single task will take and actually measure the time it took. That way I update the estimate for the next run and I get a very accurate estimate of the total time.
As your using an example of a file, in a loop you can get the current file pointer, devide it by the length of the file and * 100 to get a current %age position (this sets the progress control). If you also took the system time at the start of the process, you can work out how long it took to get to the current %age and extrapolate to 100%. You can then subtract the elapsed time to get an estimate of time remaining.

Nice!
Measuring the time someting takes to complete a cycle can be difficult if the job is fast.
Consider Microsoft's defragmentor. I do not think the programmers use the timer measure. Sometimes the progress bar jumps 20% or more.

Hi,
I'm having trouble linking a program. I've installed the latest SDK so I don't think thats the problem. The error I get is
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _NetServerEnum@33
I've included lm.h so I don't see what the problem could be.
Thanks for you help

Hi
I would like to change my freeware-software (MFC) to shareware.
Is there any class/tool I can use to let a customer easy register a trial-version after approx. 15 days? How do I generate keys from an E-mail-address? 
Thanks

They do exist, but it's pretty easy to write your own. The way I did it once was to write the day the user had started using my app and the current date in the registry. The current date was used to see if the user had rolled their clock backwards ( by more than one hour, to account for possible daylight savings).
Then I rewrote the same info into a file called msxmtd.dll, or something similarlly official sounding, and put it in windows/system. Then if the user found my registry entries and hacked them, their trial was officially over.

All sorts of encryption methods exist. Do a google search and I'm sure you'll find tons. Hint - every char has a numeric value.

Hi,
Does anyone now a function/class to check if an e-mail address is valid?
/Ola Carlsson

Apart from parsing it for form, I don't think that is remotely possible. If I give you cgraus@mydomain.com, how can you tell that mydomain.com knows what to do with this address, except by sending an email to it and seeing if it bounces back ?

My domain has a catch all, so nothing bounces back, just forwards valid stuff and deletes junk after a while.

Check the return status from the POP3 protocol's USER command. A "+OK" should be returned for valid usernames. This should work even for forwarding POP mailboxes.

Does this mean it would be trivial to write a spam filter, simply by checking all incoming mail for a valid return address ?

It's pretty easy to write, but I doubt it would be efficient, since you'd have to try to establish a connection to the POP server for each unique domain.
Also, it could easily give you bogus results - for example if you received mail from a valid address user@attbi.com, the checker would return "false" since you won't be able to connect to attbi.com's POP server from outside their domain.
Further, if your domain's POP server had a catch-all account, any username at that domain could be flagged as being valid.
Imho, there's no foolproof way to verify the validity of an email address.

It's actually totally unworkable. You have no way of knowing what a remote domains POP server is. MX records only point to SMTP mail exchangers, and often these have nothing to do with pop.
Also, very often POP servers are behind firewalls.
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

Not all POP servers will let you connect from outside their domain!
In the US, ATTBI (previously MediaOne) is notorious for no longer allowing you to check your mail remotely thru a POP email client, unless you're logged into ATTBI. However, they do offer a crappy web interface into their email system, so you can get/send email from any browser.
