And you will likely receive harsh punishment if you tightly couple a business object to a view. Your punishment will be in the form of dealing with the technical debt[^] of a poor design. OOD is a tool that can solve problems of software development like hard to maintain and inflexible code. Notice I said it "can" solve those problems, or a sub optimal design, like one that would tightly couple business classes to view classes, could result in "creating" those same problems.
There is much information available on the subject of Object Oriented Design. I strongly suggest you take some time to become familiar with things like best practices and principles of object oriented design. You might try some articles or tutorials and for sure get introduced to Software Design Patterns[^].
Good luck

It's almost impossible to know which one is better suited to your needs. Everyone is different. I will tell you that from my experience I have been a student of Object Oriented Design for years and I see no end to that on the horizon. So if your intention is continual improvement buckle up for a long ride of reading and trying to understand OOD. And if that wasn't enough there is Aspect Oriented and a new resurgence of Functional Programming that is being added to the .NET platform.
If you do spend time reading on the subject you will eventually come upon some of the leading experts in the industry. They have Wiki's, Blogs whatever that discuss OOD. A couple of them are Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham. Cunningham maybe invented the Wiki[^], not sure, where he started the Portland Pattern Repository. Anyway that site is so full of information I doubt you could ever read it all.
Hope that helps.

One possible solution is to send messages to the dialog. Your client needs the target Window (CWnd*) and you can use the SendMessage() , or I suggest the PostMessage() API because it is non blocking.
Another way are global objects and structures or callbacks.
Interesting and important is to use the Timer-function to execute regurarly some actions!!!

Have you looked into the articles? I remember that there were some owner drawed controls with lots of extras. Maybe one of them has what you are looking for.

Hi,
My project does not contain any resources file , and I need to load an ICON from a specified location.
I used the following :
m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(_T"C:\test\res\OPTIONS_ICON.ico"));
but m_hIcon is allways NULL.
Anyone?
With best regards,
Eli

You need to escape backslashes inside strings, change

into:
m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(_T"C:\\test\\res\\OPTIONS_ICON.ico"));

Thanks for your quick answer...
I tried this also , but m_hIcon still NULL.
Note that I'm able to load an ICON using a resources file
by AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_NEW_LOGGER_ICON);
Thanks again,
Eli

will not work. U should use the LoadImage() function to load the icon from a file.

Did you try with LoadImage?

Hi all,
I encountered something that affects the embedded attachments in converting a MAPI to MIME message, I need my mimeheader to be multipart/related for the embedded attachments and multipart/mixed for the body and the regular attachments. At the ATL mime only multipart/mixed is available, Can anyone help me constructing a new boundary correctly and making the multipart/related header too.
thanks,

Hello all, I am developing one application, in that have created one report file with HTML tags. I am opening that in my application it self. If the report file is big then my application is displaying a message "Cannot create unique tag name,giving up". I did not understand this message. Can you please tell me how can i avoid this ?

How are you opening it ? What is throwing the error ?

I have created a file which contains tables, text and a tree manner view also with HTML tags. No problem in opening this file if the file is small. If the file is big then my application is displaying a message "Cannot create unique tag name, giving up",

Hi everyone,
I came to the point where I would like to use virtual inheritance (don't ask why ). Although I have found several info on the web and I am pretty sure how I am going to use it, I have one problem left:
INCLUDE FILES.
All articles describe how to use virtual inheritance, but always in one file, something rarely useful in large projects. Everything I tried with #include files doesn't work. Here is my example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Base.h
#ifndef BASE_H
#define BASE_H
class Base{
public:
Base();
virtual ~Base();
};
#include "Derive1.h"
#include "Derive2.h"
#endif
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file "Base.cpp"
#include "Base.h"
Base::Base(){}
Base::~Base(){}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Derive1.h
#ifndef DERIVE1_H
#define DERIVE1_H
#include "Base.h"
class Derive1 : public virtual Base{
public:
Derive1();
virtual ~Derive1();
};
#include "Join.h"
#endif
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Derive1.cpp
#include "Derive1.h"
Derive1::Derive1(){}
Derive1::~Derive1(){}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Derive2.h
#ifndef DERIVE2_H
#define DERIVE2_H
#include "Base.h"
class Derive2 : public virtual Base{
public:
Derive2();
virtual ~Derive2();
};
#include "Join.h"
#endif
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Derive2.cpp
#include "Derive2.h"
Derive2::Derive2(){}
Derive2::~Derive2(){}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Join.h
#ifndef JOIN_H
#define JOIN_H
#include "Derive1.h"
#include "Derive2.h"
class Join : public Derive1, public Derive2{
public:
Join();
virtual ~Join();
};
#endif
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file Join.cpp
#include "Join.h"
Join::Join(){}
Join::~Join(){}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// file main.cpp
#include "Base.h"
int main(){
Join test;
return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This will not compile, probably because both Derive1.h and Derive2.h include Join.h. However, any combination I've tried didn't solve me the problem and the program still wont compile.
Any clues anyone?
Thanx,
Nik

First, please use the pre or code tags to format your code properly.
Now, for your question: you can remove all the includes that you put at the end of your files, you don't need them and they cause the problem. Include simply means that the compiler will replace the directive by 'pasting' the code from the included file. So, guess what happens if file1 includes file2 which in turn include file1 ? Yes, that's infinite recursion 
|
|
|
|
|
Firstly, thanx for your answer.
True, but infinite recursion is avoided by the #ifndef directives. The reason I am putting them there is that I only want to include my Base class in the main program. If I remove them, then I have to include all the different files (Derive1, Derive2, Join).
In all other cases, this pattern works fine. But because in this case there is a "diamond" structure of inheritance (that's why I use virtual inheritance), this causes the problem here.
Is there any way to keep this pattern (I only want to include my "Base.h" file in "main.cpp") and still complile somehow?

What's the exact error message ? It's really difficult to guess what the problem might be just by looking at your source code (unformatted).
Nik1234 wrote: The reason I am putting them there is that I only want to include my Base class in the main program. If I remove them, then I have to include all the different files (Derive1, Derive2, Join).
Wrong: you just need to include Join.h because it already includes Derive1 and Derive2 and both of them include Base.h. And in general it is bad design to include the header files of the derived classes in the header of your base class (your base class should't be aware of its derived classes).
|

Actually you are right, it seems a bad design. True, in this case I would only need to include the Join class, but if I had 100 Join classes, I would need to include all of those...
So, I am changing my design by removing the include files at the end of the base class and creating another include file which will include my derived classes(the 100 Join classes  ). By this way I will still include only one file and I will avoid the other conflicts 
For your reference, the error I was getting was:
Derive1 class undefined
Derive2 class undefined
in the Join.h file.
Thanx a lot for your help!

How to set a region without its constructor?
With "new", it is less efficient.
OnMouseMove()
{
Region Rgn;
m_pic.GetRegion(&Rgn);
}
Take the advange of MakeEmpty and Union, it can be done. Not sure if there is a more efficient way.
