Thanks for the reply! Just one last thing, will the .net Framework be enough? or i'd have to distribute the individual .dlls?

How do u write a Driver program for MFC?

23-Feb-02 23:31

You don't have to distribute all .net framework always,
Only need to distribute MFC7.dll (if I don't make mistake the name)beside this if you use some .net features (for example GDI+)you also need to distribute that specific dll

hope that helps

How do you write a Driver program in MFC to test a class you have created to be used in MFC? i know to some of you this might be a very dumb question but i am just starting in programming in MFC. thank you for your help. i very much appreciate it Smile | :)

A Driver program is simply a program that uses your class. For instance, say you have a class that can set two parameters, then perform actions on these parameters, here is an example.

<br />
class Arithmatic<br />
{<br />
int m_a;<br />
int m_b;<br />
<br />
public:<br />
    Arithmatic () m_a(0), m_b(0)<br />
    {<br />
        // no current operations.<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    void SetA (int a)<br />
    {<br />
        m_a = a;<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    void SetB (int b)<br />
    {<br />
        m_b = b;<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    int Sum ()<br />
    {<br />
        return m_a + m_b;<br />
    }<br />
<br />
};<br />

With this class, you could write a Driver, or test program like this.

<br />
int testArithmatic ()<br />
{<br />
    Arithmatic x;<br />
<br />
    x.SetA(10);<br />
    x.SetB(20);<br />
<br />
    ASSERT(x.Sum() == 30);<br />
<br />
    return 0;<br />
}<br />

In this example you know what the desired result is for the two values 10 + 20, so assert that all of your functions work properly.

Thanks... i got it now... oh, i am going to do that now. oh, i have another question... i dont know if i placed the assert statements right in my destructor. can you help me?

here is what i did:

// Destructor
CBoard::~CBoard()
{
// Check for Deletion of Null pointers if the object
// is NULL dont delete it, else delete each ofthe objects
ASSERT(mpDefaultPen == NULL);
if (mpDefaultPen != NULL)
delete mpDefaultPen;

ASSERT(mpDefaultFont == NULL);
if (mpDefaultFont != NULL)
delete mpDefaultFont;

ASSERT(mpPen == NULL);
if (mpPen != NULL)
delete mpPen;

ASSERT(mpFont == NULL);
if (mpFont != NULL)
delete mpFont;

for (int r = 0; r < MAXROW; r++)
for (int c= 0; c < MAXCOL; c++)
{
delete mpGrid[r][c];
}
}

Did i place my ASSET macros right? i am trying to catch errors cause by deletion of NULL pointers which probably would cause memory leak.

Paul M Watt23-Feb-02 23:57

When you ASSERT, you assert for something that you think should be true, so if the assertion is false it will return an error.

In your case you stated ASSERT(x == NULL), you will only get an error when x != NULL, this is the opposite of what you want.

Anyway, it is safe to call delete on a NULL pointer, this is part of the C++ standard. So your destructor can be changed to this:

<br />
delete mpDefaultPen;<br />
delete mpDefaultFont;<br />
delete mpPen; <br />
delete mpFont;<br />

DLL static issue

why does this generate a link error?

class DEL1_API Cdel1 {
public:
static int int1;
public:
Cdel1(void);
// TODO: add your methods here.
static void test()
{
int1 +=10;
}
};

Thanks.

Advance port question: LPT pins voltage ...

23-Feb-02 21:44

You get an error because there is no actual variable instantiated for the class. All that you need to do is declare a global variable in the namespace of you class like this:

int Cdel1::int1;

Declare this in a CPP file somewhere, where your class is imlemented, otherwise if you declare it in a header, and the header is included in more than one CPP file, you will get a multiple defined link error.

Because you didn't declare space for the static int variable. In one of your CPP files, you need to write:

int Cdel1::int1 = 0; // initialization is optional, but good to do

Hi all, my question is more like electronic questions but it is easy ...
I wanna send some data to LPT, directly.
I don't want to print data on printer, i just want to send data to LPT, ok ?
Well, i have not problem to sending data (I used _outp function, and my OS is Win98).
I just want to know, when i send a Byte to LPT then i send a voltage to LPT pins ???
Look, first i got the pins voltages from LPT1 by Multi Meter Digital, it is a instroment which can show the voltage to you.
It is result:
Pin 2 (data pin 1) to Pin 9 (data pin 8): voltage is variable between -0.59 to +0.60
ok ?
Then i sent a data (a Byte like 0x55) in enormouse loop ...
Then i got the pins voltage again, but i got the same result (-0.59 to +0.60) !!!
Now, i wanna know did my data send in LPT port ???
Why the pins voltage didn't change ???

Please help me ...
I need fast reply Frown | :(

I don't think that your meter can read the values quick enough to measure the voltage variations of the Parallel port like that. You will probably have better luck with an oscilliscope.

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a problem linking my application using stl.

I have a library that uses the stl string. This is also used in a header file used by the application that links to the library.

I get a bunch of linker errors LNK4006 saying that std::basic_string is already defined in the lib.

Can anyone shed any light on what I need to do to overcome this?

Paul M Watt23-Feb-02 19:39

23-Feb-02 19:39

The problem is that the std:basic_string object that you have is declared twice between your lib file and your application.

Is there a variable or a typedef in your project that is the same as a variable in the lib that you are using? Possibly in the header file that you mentioned.

Did you write the LIB?

Londo23-Feb-02 21:06

Londo

23-Feb-02 21:06

Yep, I wrote it.

The class Token is declared in Token.h and is implemented in the lib, and used by the application calling the lib.

class Token
{
std::string tokenText;
public:
...
bool operator==(const std::string& aTokenText);
...
};

It worked ok, until I included token.h in the calling app. There are no other typedefs in the header and it has include guards.

Paul M Watt23-Feb-02 21:50

23-Feb-02 21:50

If you comment out the one member tokenText in your class, do you still get the error?

Londo23-Feb-02 22:17

Londo

23-Feb-02 22:17

Yep, I still get the linking error, even after I remove all of the references to string.

This is somewhat strange.

Paul M Watt23-Feb-02 22:30

23-Feb-02 22:30

I would have to see the whole header file before I could help you any more, maybe you could post it, or email it to me?
