how to test a type int as a char

I would like to know if there is a way to store a character in a type int variable. I would still like the variable to be able to store integers, but if a certain charcter is entered I would like the program to do something else.

example:

int number;

cout<<"Enter a number: "; //This is where I would like to enter 'c'
cin>>number;

if(number=='c')
{
...
}
else
{
...
}

can you please help?

Which is equivalent to:

if (number == 99)

well yes u can.....
character is just i byte where as and integet is four bytes.....
by doing the above code.....that u have listed.....u will get the ascii value of the character......
search for the ascii table....it will give the corresponding values for a character variable.....
in ur case the character 'c' has an intef=ger value of 99.....

tray icon notifycation problem

hiho@ll

my app uses a tray icon, which show some information using a tooltip if the mouse is over the tray

on my windows XP service pack 2 it works

on another windows xp service pack 1 it works

on another windows xp service pack 1 it doesn't work

and so on

it seems that my tray isn't notifyed, if the taskbar hasn't the focus
i mean something like this:

the working method:
1. click my app to the systray
2. do something other (open other windows, browser, office etc.)
3. move the mouse cursor over my tray icon -> show some information

the confusing method:
1. click my app to the systray
2. do something other (open other windows, browser, office etc.)
3. move the mouse cursor over my tray icon -> it doesn't show any information
4. click in the taskbar on any free space
5. move the mouse cursor over my tray icon -> it shows the information needed

????

can the taskbar have a focus?
why doesn't it work?

thx@ll

CDHtmlDialog problem

ewanb15-Mar-05 2:34

15-Mar-05 2:34

Hi,

I have a CDHtmlDialog derived class that is causing me a problem. Every 3rd time I create an instance and call DoModal() I get an access violation occuring inside the CDHtmlDialog::OnInitDialog method and it is being caused by the m_wndBrowser member being NULL.

The problem occurs in this part of the method:

if (m_pBrowserApp == NULL)<br />
{<br />
	// create the control window<br />
	m_wndBrowser.CreateControl(CLSID_WebBrowser, NULL, WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD,<br />
					rectClient, this, AFX_IDC_BROWSER);<br />
	lpUnk = m_wndBrowser.GetControlUnknown();<br />
	if (FAILED(lpUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**) &m_pBrowserApp)))<br />
	{<br />
		m_wndBrowser.DestroyWindow();<br />
		DestroyWindow();<br />
		return TRUE;<br />
	}<br />
}

The call to m_wndBrowser.CreateControl() fails causing the m_wndBrowser to be set to NULL.

I tried reusing one instance of my class and repeatedly calling DoModal() on the same object and the same thing happened. Can anyone suggest what might cause the create call to fail after two previous successful calls?

All help appreciated because this has been bugging me for a while now.
Thanks,
Ewan

Are you calling the base class OnInitDialog() before trying to use the m_wndBrowser ?
Also, I assume that the m_pBrowserApp variable is set back to NULL at appropriate times, so that your tests are valid.

The code I showed was from the base class implementation not from my code. I only included it to illustrate where the problem was occurring. I'm not touching any of the members of the CDHtmlDialog class. That's why I'm confused by what is happening because none of my code does anything other than call CDHtmlDialog::OnInitDialog().

Blake Miller16-Mar-05 11:35

This seems a bit strange.
If your code is encapsulated enough, can you post the example of where/how you create the dialog instance and where you call DoModal() and anything you do to the dialog class instance between creating the instance and calling DoModal()?

It seems like sometimes either the browser widnow is not crated or the browser pointer is not null. Can you look into why that might be the case? It seems strange to me that the base class code does not verify that the create window call succeeds prior to trying to create the com interface.

COM Events: reference values

peterchen15-Mar-05 1:48

15-Mar-05 1:48

Hi,
I'm trying to fire an even from an C++ ActiveX that has a "by reference" parameter:

dispinterface _IMyEvents
[id(4)] void ButtonClicked(IMyProperty * prop, [in, out, ref] VARIANT_BOOL * bDataChanged);

However, the Fire_Event proxy code generated by the wizard complains about the byref value:

pvars[0] = bDataChanged;  // pvars[0] is a CComVariant

it's just a warning (short * truncated to bool), but it clearly indicates it doesn#t work as intended (CComVariant does not support reference values).

So - anything I can do?
The only alternatives I see are:
- write the fire_xxx wrapper myself (yuck!!!)
- provide a COM object with a "SetModified" flag instead (seems overkill)
- hack CComVariant into accepting a VARIANT_BOOL * as BYREF value (yuck yuck)

(The mechanism I need is similar to IPropertyNotifySink, but I want to support VB clients, so I can't work with S_OK / S_FALSE return value)

There are many ways to convert BSTR TO STRING , here i am mentioning TWO!

1.wcstombs(...)
2.using String Conversion Macro LIKE W2T,T2BSTR....., but you have to enable String Conversion Macro by using USES_CONVERSION; macro

yeah you can use
WideCharToMultiByte, but this api always confuse me lot! Big Grin | :-D

Buddy!
BSTR and Wide Character has almost same format for character representation. so you can use wcstombs or string conversion macro stated above!! to convert them from wide character to multibyte character string, just try!!!

or if you are using MFC , CString expose some function for BSTR tooo,like CString::SetSysString , CString::AllocSysString

BSTR is just a WORD string (16 bits for each value).
if the BSTR contains 0 (zero), you can not convert it to CString because CString can not contain zero.

if not, do this way:
//assume length of BSTR is iNum
//cs is CString, bstr is BSTR
for(i=0;i<iNum;i++)
{
cs+=(char)bstr[i];
}

very easy
