G'Day Havoc,
You should be able to find enough information in MSDN to get you going. Here is one link to a few articles
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dno97ta/html/msoautovc.asp
failing that try searching with the key words 'excel' and 'autmation'
Good luck
Richard.

I bumped into this sad example while working with a "professional" charting library that I am forced to use. This code (changed to protect the guilty) comes from the drawing code in one of the charting code's base classes
<br />
switch( dwSomeValue )<br />
{<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE1:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE2:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE3:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE4:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE5:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
default:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE6:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE7:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE8:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE9:<br />
case SOME_CHARTTYPE10:<br />
{<br />
}<br />
}<br />
So now when a custom value (chart) is added, for example "SOME_NEW_CHARTTYPE11", the "Some Other Code" code block always gets executed, because the "default:" was placed in the middle of the switch statement, with no "break;" after it! 
Now, I may be wrong here, but I am pretty sure that this is a bug in the charting class' code. What I really want to know is, can anyone provide me with an example where (mis)using a "default" in the middle of a switch statement like this is a good idea?
Peace!
-=- James.

I have what I think is an example.
I used it in a PreTranslateMessage for keystrokes. I need only certain keys to get through to the target window, so the default would cover all those unknown keys that M$ would add in the future. I obviously don't want my control to handle them.

(Note that I am not asking about uses for the "default" clause...)
If I understand you correctly, I think your example can be implemented with a "default:" clause at the end of the switch statement, correct? For example:
<br />
switch( uiKey )<br />
{<br />
case VK_A:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
case VK_B:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
default:<br />
{<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
My question specifically asks about a "default" clause in the middle of a switch, with no "break;", followed by other "case" values.
Peace!
-=- James.

That code is definitely an example of bad coding. The thing is that it is equivalent to the code where SOME_CHARTTYPE6, SOME_CHARTTYPE7, SOME_CHARTTYPE8, SOME_CHARTTYPE9, SOME_CHARTTYPE10
are ommited. I.e. the code can easily look like the following:
switch( dwSomeValue )
{
case SOME_CHARTTYPE1:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE2:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE3:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE4:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE5:
{
//
// Some Code...
//
break;
}
default:
{
//
// Some Other Code...
//
}
}

Since there is code at the end of the switch statement, my thought was along the lines of "the programmer effed-up". Since that code is called in a base class, adding new CHARTTYPE values will always cause that code to be executed (which draws an unwanted graph component).
IMHO, the code was not originally designed for what it is now being used as. I am just suprised that it is still in the library.
Anyway...
Peace!

I agree, that's some bad coding.
Here's some questionable coding i found in a widely used TIFF reading library
#define REPEAT8(op) REPEAT4(op); REPEAT4(op)
#define REPEAT4(op) REPEAT2(op); REPEAT2(op)
#define REPEAT2(op) op; op
#define CASE8(x,op) \
switch (x) { \
case 7: op; case 6: op; case 5: op; \
case 4: op; case 3: op; case 2: op; \
case 1: op; \
}
#define UNROLL8(w, op1, op2) { \
uint32 _x; \
for (_x = w; _x >= 8; _x -= 8) { \
op1; \
REPEAT8(op2); \
} \
if (_x > 0) { \
op1; \
CASE8(_x,op2); \
} \
}
while (h-- > 0) {
uint32* bw;
UNROLL8(w, bw = PALmap[*pp++], *cp++ = *bw++);
cp += toskew;
pp += fromskew;
}
not only is this totally wierd, it is also a complete pain in the ass to debug (cause you can't step into a macro). those UNROLL8 things get expanded into loops of switch statements which are actually unrolled loops themselves, or into repetitions of statements. aahhhHH!!! i had to unroll this code to use it in another app. i almost went crazy.
this really crunches a lot of code into a few terse macros. but holy crap.. it's impossible to understand.

Though I'm not recommending such exotic layouts, this is an example where having default in the middle of the switch block makes some sense:
switch( dwSomeValue )
{
case SOME_CHARTTYPE1:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE2:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE3:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE4:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE5:
{
break;
}
default:
OutputDebugString("warning: unexpected value; handling as if of the last block\n");
case SOME_CHARTTYPE6:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE7:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE8:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE9:
case SOME_CHARTTYPE10:
{
}
}This construct can help a programmer to detect dangerous defaults while still doing something reasonable with them.

I am using string in my program.
I have the following lines in my code:(I am showing only relevant lines)

void main()
{
string myname("Stars");
string yourname;
yourname=myname;
cout<<myname;
}
i get="" compilation="" error="" for="" line..yourname="myname" (says="" "=" operator not defined stuff...)
also for line..cout<<myname (says " <<"="" not="" defined...)
how="" can="" i="" achieve="" what="" intend="" doing="" here?also="" how="" use="" cin="">>yourname?
Please help me.

The only thing your program is missing is an #include <iostream> to use cout. Apart from this, it compiles and works fine.
You may try stripping down your program to a twenty line file (i.e. removing the "irrelevant" lines). My guess is that in the process the bug will dissapear, and possibly this will shed some light.
As for the second question, yes you can use cin>>yuorname, but that only gets till the first whitespace. Use getline(cin,yourname) for retrieving entire lines.

I've got an idea that's been rattling about my nearly vacant cranium for a while now, and I'd like to solicit some ideas here.
I have two locations, 10 km apart, running a text-based retail program using serial ports for communications. The two sites are run on separate serial concentrator chains. For the remote site, the signals leave the server at on a RS422 line at 1.5 Mbps, but are immediately throttled down to 56 kbps as they pass thru a DSU/CSU for transmission over a pair of wires to the remote DSU/CSU and into a concentrator for demultiplexing. The wires between periodically get dug up, which puts a bit of a kink into things at the other end.
Back at the main site, I have a separate WinNT server with a 2 Mbps wireless Internet connection and eight available serial ports. The thought is that I should be able to skip the wire connection completely by reading the serial data stream from the serial server with a port on the NT server, then construct a VPN over the Internet to the remote site, and from there out to the concentrator via a serial port on a machine there. It would immensely increase the speed of the data flow, and eliminate the risk from a drunken contractor on a backhoe. Plus it would save a bundle, since the wire between sites costs me $100/month, and the wireless connection is free (I trade roof space for antennas for service).
I think it would be an interesting project, but I'm curious whether anyone here has tried such a thing, or has any suggestions about how to approach it... One concern of mine is that the hardware approach we're using is, by design, near real-time, while an NT server is far from it. Would the latency be likely to make it fail? Is it a dumb idea from the getgo? Thoughts, anyone?

consider a for loop like that:
for(i=0;i<=Bound;i++)
In this loop i would like to do an "if" test which if the test succeed i would like to go to the next iteration and if not i do another thing. For example:
if(i>Max||i
|
|
|
|

No.
exit() is used to exit the program. break is used to break out of a loop (or case), and continue is used to go to the end of the enclosing loop block. It seems all you need to do is:
for (int i=0; (i <= bound); i++) {
if (!testSucceeds()) {
callAnotherMethod();
}

it's exactly i would read so if i do as you like i needn't of a else case!
so i try to do it in my application and test it.
