So are you saying it is demoralizing to be given a link to the documentation?

As for what you said that, in that paragraph it says not to use it, yeah it is true, but it also says the following "Use of this API is subject to major limitations", so it's not like not to use it because it is bad, but because other reasons.
As for the other part, it is actually a good thing in that situation that it doesn't uses what you give it, and it actually is telling you why in documentation, because it may lead to an unusable screen.

So you have the complete answer, why complain?

I wasn't talking about that answer. Giving a link to documentation is a good start when you don't really know the answer, in hopes that the person who asked the question didn't checked it before.

So with that I wasn't talking about me, it was in general, everything in that statement beside the part at the end, was something I observed over the time.

I didn't said the problem is solved. In the above message in responds to what Dave Kreskowiak said, I went into more details about the problem, as no one even tried to ask more question to understand the problem better, in case maybe it wasn't explained properly, which the founder of this website actually encourages to do so.

Creating c++ static library that uses 3rd party static libraries.

(C++ and Visual Studio 2019)

We have a 3rd party library that we want to use (we build from source and it generates many, many static libs).

I want to create an abstraction layer on top of this 3rd party library, as a static library.

And I want my client application to use my own abstraction layer so it does not have to directly include the 3rd party headers.

Can I "link" the 3rd party libraries (libs) in my own library so that I can just link we one library in my client application ?

Or I will need to link my application with the 3rd party libraries as well as my own library ?

I'd rather be phishing!

If you create a static library that links to other statics then the result should be a single static library. A simple test should confirm it for you.

You can create a "composite" that includes your modules and all modules from 3rd party libraries.

About including the 3rd party header files, it depends how good of a job you do at hiding the internals from your users.

Thing to keep in mind: remove any #pragma directives that reference the previous libraries. Place only one referring to your "composite" lib in one of your main include files.

Set precision based on a condition in cout

Hello

#include <iostream>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <iomanip> 
using namespace std;

		double asDouble ( double price_numerator, double number_of_decimal )
		{

			//if (price_numerator == -2147483648)
		//	{

		//		return -214748.3648;
			//}
			return price_numerator /  pow10(number_of_decimal);
		}

int main()
{
bool someBool = true; //just for testing 
    double x = asDouble(-2147483648 , 4) ;
    double y = asDouble(5456 , 4) ;
    cout<< (someBool ? std::setprecision(10) :  std::setprecision(6)) << x<< endl;
     cout<< (someBool ? std::setprecision(10) :  std::setprecision(6) )<< y<< endl;


    return 0;
}

so I want the precision to be set based on condition, but the output is :

-214748
0.5456

so I want this output :

-214748.3648
0.5456

I made the following change, and result is as expected:

C++

double x = asDouble(-2147483648.0, 4);    // instead of asDouble(-2147483648, 4);

Your code is not compiled for me, the error is:

error C4146: unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result still unsigned

So, your conditional precision is OK, the problem is that 2147483648 is more than maximal unsigned int value, and applying unary minus operator to it gives compiler error in my case, and unexpected result in your case. Probably your compiler gives some warning for this line, don't ignore it.

Output:

-214748.3648
0.5456

Tested with VC++ 2015.

Add Window procedure to picture control

Gopi Nath26-Jan-21 18:02

26-Jan-21 18:02

Hello,

In a dialog, i have added picture control from resource. in this i am displaying an image accordingly at the runtime which is working fine.

I need to zoom in / zoom out the displayed image according to mouse wheel move. I thought of adding window procedure to that picture control, so that i can handle mouse command over there. in MFC, i can see options and examples, but in win32 api, i dont know how to do that.

Can anyone suggest me how to do.

Regards,
Gopi.

Just derive your own class from the CStatic (picture control is a static control), create the control member variable in the dialog for this picture control, and handle any Windows message you need in this derived class.

Thanks.

my application is in win32 and picture control created through toolbox. how to subclass this control to CStatic (MFC) derived class?

Victor Nijegorodov26-Jan-21 23:32

Victor Nijegorodov

26-Jan-21 23:32

Use MFC class Wizard to derive new MFC class from CStatic (say CMyPicture);
Change the control ID of your picture control from IDC_STATIC to something more sensible (like IDC_MYPICTURE);
Use MFC class Wizard to create the control member variable (of the new created type CMyPicture) for your picture control.

Also see MSDH (docs.microsoft.com) for details.

What is a common way to use NASM (or other assembly compilers) when developing windows applications. Do you integrate it with VisualStudio shell or you go down the path of always using the command line?
