Re: Handles to View Classes :: MFC

7-Dec-02 12:27

Hi.

I want to send messages to one or more view classes from either CMainFrame or the doc class. I would like to know, How do you get access to the handles of one or more view classes from inside the doc class and/or CMainFrame?

Thanks,
Kuphryn

If you mean sending to some views belonging to the same document, the way is to use

POSITION pos = GetFirstViewPosition();
  while (pos != NULL) {
    CView* pView = GetNextView(pos);
 ...
}

For some documents use
CDocTemplate::GetFirstDocPosition/GetNextDoc and then - the code above

To enumerate all views of all documents of all types you can use
CDocManager::GetFirstDocTemplatePosition/GetNextDocTemplate, then see above

How to get instance of docmanager see CWinApp documentation. If my memory doesn't fail me, CWinApp have a member m_pDocManager

I have no idea how you did that actually! Laugh | :laugh:

But I know how I did it!
Pass CSIDL_SYSTEM in the second parameter of SHGetFolderPath()
But look up that function in MSDN Library to get know it better.

I've been going through this site and it's articles for the last couple of months and I starting to find that I don't know as much about C++ as I thought I did. When it comes to articles dealing with templates and the more advanced topics I get lost so I'm wondering if anyone knows any good C++ books that covers the more advanced topics.

Thanks in advance.

C++: The Complete Reference[^]

I like this one. It's not quite as terse as the one below. I find it more accessible.

The C++ Programming Language[^]

On the other hand, you can't beat this book. This will tell you whatn you can and can't do with C++.

I recommend buying both. They're excellent.

First thanks for the response.

Second, the thing about the books you mentioned is that they start out from the basics and then go up. I'm looking for books that geared more towards the advanced topics. Books that don't have any (or very little) to do with the basic stuff.

Thanks again.

I really like the "Standard C++ Bible". It covers templates and all that specific C++ thing you want. And many good chapters about STL too!

C++ Datatypes and OS Datatypes :: C++

Hi.

In general, is it more extensible to implement core C++ datatypes in 32bits and 64bits operating system, or should you implement the OS specific datatypes? For example, under Windows you can implement a DWORD (32bits unsigned integer). A DWORD is equal to C++ unsigned long.

I would like to know what is most extensible in terms of C++ design and implementation?

Lastly, what is the point of an int datatype in 32bits and 64bits OS? In 32bits OS, an int is equal to a long.

Thanks,
Kuphryn

Here's what I've learned when dealing with the int and long data types in C++:

1. int was designed to be as large as what the CPU can handle most efficiently. In Win16 or Win32, int is 16 or 32 bits. in 32-bit UNIX systems int is 32 bits.

2. On 64-bit systems (Win64 or UNIX) int is also 32 bits, I guess to make it easier to port 32-bit apps.

3. long is 32 bits in Win16 and Win32, as well as 32-bit UNIX.

4. On Win64, long is also 32 bits, whereas on UNIX, it's 64 bits (which is what you'd expect, and how it's represented in .NET and Java).

So my suggestion, for the sake of simplicity and portability, stick with int -- don't use long.

Alvaro

long is ( or was ?! ) a size qualifier for the int at the time of 16bits apps. ( samething for short ).

long and short are not really types!

Are you sure ? I thought the int would be "scaled" according to the CPU ?

although everyone treats them as such. No one ever writes signed long int when long works just as well.

No. AFAIK, int remains 32-bit on Win64.
