Richard M.:
reverse count down from 5 to 1 only inverted the pyramid, not REVERSE it !
what I'm trying to create is a RIGHT-ALIGNED pyramid going from 1 to 5 in counts, as oppose to a left-aligned pyramid counting from 1 to 5. Hope you get this.

With this new information I think I misunderstood what you meant with reversing in my other post; you'll probably want to use this:
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++){
for (int j = 1; j < 5-i; j++){
cout << " ";
}
for (; j < 5; j++){
cout << "*";
}
cout << endl;
}

You might want to declare j outside the for loop - according to the current C++ standard its scope would end with the end of the for loop and using it after that would result in a compiler error.

Thanks, good point. I use VC6 most of the time so I didn't get an error.

I believe most compilers supported this for a long time. I know for fact that it worked in VC7 (VS 2003), but it does not in VC10 (VS 2010).

Richard M.:
yes, but the asterisk pyramid is on the opposite of that count.

What I mean is that I don't know how to write a for loop statement that write out spaces, instead of characters.

A space is just another character. What's wrong with:
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
cout << " ";

The idea is to make a pyramid of spaces the same way you made the one you posted, but one character shorter, then write asterisks for the remainder of the line length:
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++){
for (int j = 1; j < i; j++){
cout << " ";
}
for (; j < 5; j++){
cout << "*";
}
cout << endl;
}
Also your loops use commas rather than semicolons, which won't compile; I fixed that in my example.

THANK YOU. I was able to to twist your codes around to achieve my goal. I know you are testing my c++ skills. Since I just learned how to write an inverted pyramid of asterisk, I was able to substitute asterisks for spaces, and write two pyramids into one project.

This is a code to update a process monitoring program when the value changes, the following code is the invoke. To me it looks right, but the code wont function, the error is "Object reference not set to an object instance." What to do?
private void LocalProcesses_Update(int ProcessID, int ValueIndex, string NewValue)
{
if (this.InvokeRequired == true)
{
object[] newList_Item = new object[] { ProcessID, ValueIndex, NewValue };
this.Invoke(new InvokeProcessList(LocalProcesses_Update), newList_Item);
}
else
{
LocalProcesses.BeginUpdate();
LocalProcesses.Items[ProcessID.ToString()].SubItems[ValueIndex.ToString()].Text = NewValue;
LocalProcesses.EndUpdate();
LocalProcesses.Refresh();
}
}

What line is the error on? If I had to guess, it's the fact that you have object[] as an object type.

This looks more like C# code; are you sure you've posted this to the correct forum? It would also help if you put <pre> tags around your code so it is readable.

Good point... that does look like C# now that I look closer.

I'm also amazed at how many C# programmers apparently have no clue as to the meaning of the message "Object reference not set to an object instance.".

HI,
i just want to know, if i inter-change my office document file to each other, like .doc, to .xls or .ppt
than after interchanging the file type the file not open properly when i m trying to open now is there any way to identify waht is the original file type/
thanks.

Short answer: No.
The file type of a file is whatever it is at the moment you access it. Unless it contains some control information which identifies what it was created from then there is nothing that will help you.

What do you mean by "inter-change a file"?! A document file cannot be somehow magically converted to a spread sheet, and vice versa. If you just renamed the file to change its extension (from .doc to .ppt), that doesn't mean power point can open it now.
And how is your question even related to C++ or MFC?!
