I can't believe I asked that! LOL 
Still, the downcast kind of implies you need something in the derived class that's not in the base.
It seems like a bad idea, which is probably why RTTI returns NULL on the invalid downcast.

Guess I can't do things this way. I was sort of hoping that there would be default constructors for creating a new derived object with the base object, that would automatically do a hard copy of the data from the base object.
I knew beforehand that my dynamic_cast case would not work, though.

The only time what you are doing is 'safe' is when Base and Derived have exactly the same data members.

You cannot just create it and set the dialog class as the parent? Example: http://www.codeproject.com/docking/display_dialog_tooltips.asp[^].

From my application I am opening a document (could be Word, pdf, anything) using ShellExecute(). Now how can I check whether:
(i) The document is still open.
(ii) Some unsaved changes are made to that document.
We can not watch a directory for changes because that will work only when changes are saved to documents or new documents are created.
It's better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

You can't. You can, however, know if the application itself is still open.
PravinSingh wrote: (ii) Some unsaved changes are made to that document.
Not possible that I know of.

So unless those changes are committed to disk, why worry about them?

In my applicaltion I have a record with an attached document (which I am opening with ShellExecute). Before navigating away from this record, I want to warn the user of any unsaved changes in the attached document.

What are you trying to do, some sort of work-flow application? If so you are going about it the wrong way, operating on assumptions that are unfounded. Try doing some research on whatever problem you are trying to solve and see what knowledge the industry has that might be of help to you.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are kidding. Tracking whether a file has changed by looking at the file pointer is not even a remote possibility.

Hello ALL,
I sometimes encountered the following errors when setting breakpoints in VC 6.0 SP6.
" one or more breakpoints are not positioned on valid lines"
" the breakpoints haved been moved ..."
I wonder what code lines are invalide for setting breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
it happens when files got modified without the VC6 changed the breakpoint lines correctly. For instance with an external editor and VC wasnt open.

Any number of reasons could cause this. For example:
if (some_condition &&
some_other_condition)
{
...
}

I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance

Thanks, that's right, but how can i retrieve di dimension of the font in a int variable, to set the height of my static control?

That information is contained within the LOGFONT structure.
