It's a messed up question with a fairly messed up answer. If you're in Windows, the iostream libraries may not work the happy way you want. That's the easy copout answer.
The longer answer (page 72 of the March 2001 issue of C/C++ User's Journal, an EXCELLENT magazine) says that you have to go down below istream/ostream to the std::streambuf class. You'll want to look for streambuf::sbumpc as a possible solution to your problem.
Unfortunately, my expertise is in VBScript (ASP 2.0) and PHP, and my attempts to use C/C++ usually make me scream stuff that would get my booted from this board. But I HAVE had the same sort of problems you've had, you're not alone, and the solution is non-obvious. That, and I didn't fully understand enough of the article to explain it to you. Check out the magazine (http://www.cuj.com/) and good luck.

Can I just second that CUJ is a fine, fine mag, ( although my March isue has not yet arrived as I am in Australia ), and that you should subscribe.

I'm trying to show the headers of all the records in a listbox :
1. is there a easiest/better fitted control for showing headers of records ?
2. whats my next step for loading a dialog with all Record Data after a row had been selected ? How do i get the index of the Record (is there a return value in ListBox ??) or, How to retrive the Record from the ListBox ?
Thanks for your help,
Ariel.

Hi there,
Well i'm trying to figure out a way to lock a record when i'm editting it and it seems i can't find the way.
First, I'm using ODBC and my DB is both in Access and FoxPro - i'm not sure wether the lock of the record is handled by ODBC Drivers or the DB itself - so if somone can help me with that i'll be more than happy.
Second, I'm trying to change the CRecordset::SetLockingMode(CRecordset::pessimistic) and i get an exception which tells me i'm actualy back to default CRecordset::Optimistic (Locking Mode) - those this have to do with my ODBC Driver or my Access DB.
Third, is there a flag in CRecordset which tells me whether the Record is edited by another user or only the ODBC/DB (???) handles and know it ?
Actually what i'm asking in a one sentence is : Can i check if a record is edited by another user in another process or i have to put my own Semaphore for this ???
Thank you alot for reading all this and much more if help given,
Ariel.

I want to pass an array of strings from a VB application to a C++/MFC DLL
I then want to update that array in the DLL and pass it back to the VB app
I know how to pass a string to the DLL but not an array of strings.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks

You know the complex bit about passing strings (ie: as BSTR's)
To pass an array of strings you need to use a SAFEARRAY.
As this can be a bit fiddley I have suggested to people in the
past to instead write a function AddString which builds up the
array and then one to Execute to do the action to the array.

I have tried to use the SAFEARRAY, and I can pass to the DLL an array of integers or double etc.
I do have trouble trying to pass strings.
do you have an example of the function AddString?
If so, that would be great
thanks

I don't understand how to retrieve text from a CEdit control using GetLine member function. In particular I need to know what kind of buffer is needed. I declared: char buffer[40]; and then how can I use this buffer within the GetLine function?? When I started my program I obtain a page error message. HELP ME!!

ummmm
msdn ... cedit class members ... getline()
read topic
type code
click build button
run app

int iLineNumber;
CString strLine;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Get the currently selected line number.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
iLineNumber = m_edit.LineFromChar(-1);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Get the text of the current line number.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
strLine = m_edit.GetLine(iLineNumber);
If you have just a normal CEdit control then GetWindowText will
get ALL the text for you.
Also of interest are LineIndex and LineLength.
Note that some of these methods return the 'position' in the string
where the new lines are and NOT the 'line number'.

This is an extreamly newbie question. New to C++ and Visual C++.
I need to write a progra, that can be used a a math tutor for a young student
The program has to display 2 random numbers that are to be added, such as:
247
+129
-----
The program has to pause while the student is working on the problem. When the student is ready
to check his or her answer, a key can be pressed and the program will display the correct Solution.
247
+129
-----
376
It should then Say : Timmy you got it Right! Or Timmy, thats not the right answer, Try again.
NOTE:Forgot to mention, that it needs to ask for the users name :P
Some help would be apperciated.

Suppose you have to generate numbers in the range [100, 500]
Then you could write something similar to:
// initialize random number generator
// otherwise every time the app is run
// you get the same numbers
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
int a = 100 + rand()*(500-100)/RAND_MAX;
int b = ... // the same
The function rand() returns an integer in the range [0, RAND_MAX] so you have to adjust the result to fit your range. Another possibility, if your range is much smaller than RAND_MAX, is to write:
int a = 100 + rand()%(500-100);
I don't know which is best.
Cheers,
Paolo.

Does anyone knows where I could find an example on Multidimentional CMap. What I am trying to accomplish is the following:
Example:
Department ASD
Workers
Worker 1
Worker 2
Worker 3
Department Accounting
Workers
Worker 1
Worker 2
Both of these should be searchable by string. To accomplish the inner dimmention I have done the following:
CMap < CString, LPCSTR, CWorker, CWorker > m_Worker;
I have tried to get the outer dimmention with the following:
CTypedPtrMap < CMapStringToOb,CString, CMap < CString, LPCSTR, CWorker, CWorker > > m_Department;
where CWorker is a class containing two _bstr_t for the first and last name.
The error I was getting was that the CMap does not have a copy constructor. Does anyone knows how to accomplish this that is clean and logical?
Thanks for your help, John.

Try something like:
typedef CMap<cstring, const="" char*,="" cstring,="" char*=""> lower_map;
CMap<cstring, const="" char*,="" lower_map*,="" lower_map*="">;
That should work.

Hi, I've been trying to implement a floating palette bar, ala Photoshop with MFC, alas, to no avail.. the examples from Microsoft, CtrlBar & cmnctrl1 i think.. don't quite fit with code generated using MFC Wizard. Can anyone point me to a sample code that implements this feature using code generated with MFC Wizard?
Thanks.

maybe you should check out what christian just posted as a project ... seems a good starting point if not a solution to your problem
"every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots"

Thanks for the plug
I was going to suggest the same, although for my paint program I actually use a modeless dialog for a floating palette, the CGSToolbar certainly has pretty much everything you'd need to make a dockable toolbar that shows colours - I use it for that in a toolbar that shows the current selections.

Hi.

I added Owner-Draw with my ListBox, and use of color and icon in ListBox.
My problem is, when i add a string with ListBox i can't see string !!!
ATTENTION 1: i can see icon or color in ListBox
My source code in Owner-Draw :
void CHlistbox::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct)
{
CDC *pDC = CDC::FromHandle(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);
CRect rc = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem;
UINT action = lpDrawItemStruct->itemAction;
if(action & ODA_DRAWENTIRE)
{
pDC->FillSolidRect(rc,RGB(20,10,5));
}
}
ATTENTION 2: I add string when dialog want to load
My source code about adding a string with ListBox :
BOOL CListBoxDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);
m_listbox.AddString("Hadi");
return TRUE;
}
Please help me ... or send to me FULL example about Owner-Draw in ListBox

what christian means hadie is that the strings should be drawn AFTER you fill the color in or you are overwriting your text with the color
i think

Hi all,
I'm kinda new here and was hoping someone could help me out with a problem. I have a combobox and I want people to be able to select from the combo box with the mouse, by clicking on it, but not scroll through the combobox with the keyboard... so if they click on the combo box and make a selection I dont want them to be able to then scroll down the combobox with the arrow keys. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
--Dave

This sounds to me like a colossally bad idea ( changing default behaviour so your combo will not behave as your user expects ), but assuming you have a good reason to do it...
From what I can see, you'll need to create a class derived from a combo box. Then you can capture the key press for the arrows and ignore it. OR you could catch ON_CBN_DROPDOWN, and set a bool to tell you if the list has been dropped, and based on that in ON_CBN_SELCHANGE you can know if the selection change is from an arrow press or list box click. Sounds like a lot of work to me, but that's how I would do it ( probably just the first suggestion )
