Re: Getting a function Pointer

That won't work because I need to be able to test against it before calling the method the second time to prevent calling it twice.
If I have to be in the method already, then that means the called method has to be specialized to always test this. However, it is a requirement that the called method be independent of this overhead.
A Function Pointer can work because I can simply compare the pointers before calling, whereas __FUNCTION__ only has the needed value if called from within the method.

Thanks for your input though,

LRESULT question about beginner tutorial

Hello all,

Here's the tutorial:
The tutorial is here[^]

I noticed that in the callback wndproc, LRESULT functions (are those functions?) were used to perform the tasks. Is there a specific reason why the author decided to do that as opposed to using void functions to do the drawing?

So that you can return a status from those functions if you want to. That status can then be passed back by the WndProc to the messgae loop. You'll note the WndProc returns an LRESULT...

I presume you're talking about accessing the HTML UI elements in a page displayed in your own Window.

I remember looking at this briefly sometime back and unfortunately couldn't find any easy to use classes to achieve this (I was under severe time constraints to go about writing one of my own). Note that both MFC and WTL do provide a wrapper for you to host HTML pages within a window. And the MS-HTML renderer provides COM connection points into which can hook for receiving events. These events do include events generated by the UI elements in the page. There's an article in CP that provides a basic wrapper to trap these events but I can't seem to locate it.

Also, looks like there's an ActiveX wrapper for Mozilla, which means you can use Gecko as the renderer to display you HTML UI.

Link below discusses this:
http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2003/11/feeddemon_and_m.html[^]

Hope this helps. Good luck.

You are a little right but i want to access any windows controls. for example i can open (spawn) another application from my program and i want to access all of its UI controls like what we do in html.
anyway thanks for the reply i want that for another work and i have to try it.

Until the control has focus, the up/down keys are meaningless. After the control has focus, the up/down keys change the selection within the control; it does not lose focus.

So, what exactly is the problem?

Hi Friends,

I am now trying to learn C++ data structure.
Can you guys suggest me some good programs so that I can try that out.

Till now I have tried the program's like a dictionary with spell check(using Binary search tree),
program to parse a file , create data structure and do some processing on that.......etc...

please suggest me some questions like this...

If the questions includes use of DS such as tree/LinkedList/graph etc.... then it will be very good....

Thanks in Advance... Smile | :)

Re: please suggest me some good pregram using datastructure.

Some suggestions:

create a fast XML-parser, with low memory usage
create a program that writes MIDI-files (you will tear your hair out)
Show the waveform of a wavefile
Create a program that parses an EML-file, including attachments
Create a simple interpreter. for example. one that can execute batch-files
Write a C-compiler
Create a RTF-editor

Satisfied?

Yes satisfied, may be this is tooooo advanced for me.
but I am gonna try it out..... Big Grin | :-D

may be i can create an XML parser with high memory usage, then I can optimise it.....

and other programs.....okey i will try.

EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS

stdlib.h defines EXIT_FAILURE as 0 and EXIT_SUCCESS as 1... though convention is that these two are usually used the other way around - I'm just wondering why stdlib defines them like this... is convention wrong? Smile | :)

In both SDKs of Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 (also Window 7 RC SDK)

it's defined as

/* Definition of the argument values for the exit() function */

#define EXIT_SUCCESS    0
#define EXIT_FAILURE    1

How it differs in your SDK headers?

On my Mac, both gcc (Mac OS X, gcc-4.0.1) and VC++(Windows 7/VMWare Fusion, VC++ 9.0) define EXIT_SUCCESS as 0, EXIT_FAILURE as 1...

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Hmm, I recall it being defined the other way around...

The reason I thought this is because I was returning EXIT_FAILURE / EXIT_SUCCESS from a function, but checking the result against TRUE / FALSE.

EXIT_FAILURE would always be considered true, and EXIT_SUCCESS considered false... I should have checked the actual definitions... Blush | :O

Capture Events Written to Application Log

Hi,

I am supposed to develop an application(yet to be done)which continuosly monitor the Application log in Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 servers (both seperately).

When ever an event is logged in the Application log corresponding event source, id and description is obtained and displayed in to the screen.

I have refferred MSDN and found that the notifyChangeEventLog() method will do this.

I have tried out a sample and was able to get event id alone, but not event source and event description.

Can some one please tell me how to obtain event description and source using c++ program.

Also please suggest me the best solution to develop this application.

Thanks in Advance

Reading .csv files

hello,

I want to read .csv files but the following code read many lines more than required.

std::ifstream DataStream(FileToRead);
istreambuf_iterator<char> iter(DataStream.rdbuf());
istreambuf_iterator<char> end_of_stream_iterator;

int NOOFCHAR =10;
char temp[255];
CString h ;
int ct =0;
while(!iter.equal(end_of_stream_iterator) )
{
vector<CString>v;

for(int i=0;i<FileObj.NumCols;i++)
{
DataStream.get(temp,NOOFCHAR,',');

DataStream.ignore(1,',');

h = temp;

v.push_back(h);
}
ct++;

DataStream.get(temp,NOOFCHAR,'\n');

iter++;
}

In the above code I should ct = 2331 but I get the valu of ct = 198520
what must be wrong . and why the program doesnt end at line no 2331

Where are you telling it to end at line 2331?

Have you used the debugger to step through the code to see if you agree with what it is considering a line?

why it's necessary to create iterator for a file buffer? you don't need to deal with internal buffer of a file. You can simply use other stream, string classes to get your task done. Just see a sample code below. it's plain and clear no? (Sorry it's not written myself. taken from some forums)

#include <iostream>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    ifstream inFile ("csv.dat");
    string line;
    int linenum = 0;
    while (getline (inFile, line))
    {
        linenum++;
        cout << "\nLine #" << linenum << ":" << endl;
        istringstream linestream(line);
        string item;
        int itemnum = 0;
        while (getline (linestream, item, ','))
        {
            itemnum++;
            cout << "Item #" << itemnum << ": " << item << endl;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}
