This is a VBT (very bad thing  ) because it enforces the dependency that the collection be the last (or only) data stored in the file.
jbem wrote: CArchive has no concept, that is exposed to the user, of file position based on what it has serialized just more like a buffer position internally
Correct. And nor should it, since it's really just a stream (that may be part of another stream). That's where the power of object oriented serialization comes in. If you later choose to embed your collection in another object, you don't need to change your collection serialization code as it's location agnostic.

One of the ways that I've gotten around this is by outputting the number of elements in the list before outputting the list. Then reading that number at load time to see how many elements are getting ready to get read:
int numElements;
if( ar.IsStoring() )
{
numElements = _yourList.GetCount();
ar << numElements;
POSITION pos = _yourList.GetHeadPosition();
while( pos )
{
YourType currElement = _yourList.GetNext( pos );
currElement.Serialize( ar );
}
}
else
{
_yourList.RemoveAll();
ar >> numElements;
for( int i = 0; i < numElements; ++i )
{
YourType newElement;
newElement.Serialize( ar );
_yourList.AddTail( newElement );
}
}
That's untested code, but you should get the idea.

Thanks ToxickZero. Same solution as Ravi offered also and works fine as I just implemented it. Pity you need to keep track of the number of elements when serializing. Wish it could be done in a more dynamic fashion but it seems as it is not to be.

Hi jbem
I'm not sure that your conclusion that you have to keep track of the number of items in the list is correct.
The list classes contain Serialize functions, and if you use these they keep track for you.
A while back I was builiding a simulator that contained a recursive structure of models and submodels, similar to your Cemu class. My class was CModel, of type CModelObject. It contained a list, m_ModelList, pointing to the submodels (also of type CModel).
m_ModelList was of type CModelList, declared as follows:
typedef CTypedPtrList<CObList, CModelObject*> CModelList;
And the CModel Serialize function was:
void CModel::Serialize(CArchive & ar)<br />
{<br />
CModelObject::Serialize(ar);<br />
<br />
m_ModelList.Serialize(ar);<br />
<br />
if (ar.IsStoring())<br />
{<br />
ar << m_Name<br />
<< m_Notes<br />
<< m_AtomOrMacroNotes;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
ar >> m_Name<br />
>> m_Notes<br />
>> m_AtomOrMacroNotes;<br />
}<br />
}
The function saves the properties of the particular CModel object, m_Name, m_Notes, etc., and those defined in the base clase, CModelObject - and it saves the submodels by calling m_ModelList.Serialise(ar). When de-serializing, this call reinstates the list and all its associated objects.
I've stripped a lot of detail out of the example, but amongst the model properties there were also pointers to other models - so there were very many mutually recursive references, and I remember being concerned about how to tie all this back together on de-serialization. I was pleasantly suprised to find that the serialization mechanism looked after all of this for me automatically. I think it is an elegant system and a credit to its designers. It seems that all the user has to do is make sure that things are serialized and de-serialized in the same order.
Best Regards
Cliff

It just occurred to me that I may have misread your question. I thought you meant that your Cemulist was a member of Cemu, comprising a recursive structure. Apologies if I have caused any confusion.
I would still suggest the same solution though. You could try calling the list's Serialize function from within the Serialize function of whatever object contains the Cemulist, in the same way as I did with m_ModelList.
The serialize functions of the list classes invoke the serialize functions of all the things the list points to, so they save the whole structure. I imagine they also write out the number of items, but this is unseen by the user.

I have developed one MDI application.
I created one child window or it comes as default.
but it size is smaller than the mainframe window
how to fit it with parent window
|| ART OF LIVING ||

You need to rethink your quesiton. A child windows will (almost) always be smaller than the mainframe window size, as it needs to fit within the client area of the mainframe window.
There is a flag you can set that will make the new window/view/child window maximized on creation (fill client area), but I forget what it is. You'll just need to look it up like the rest of us.

hi ;
i am doing a proj(vc6) which include file transfer in lan the code i used is
......send
byte* data = new byte[4096];
file.Open("filename",CFile::modeRead|CFile::typeBinary);
do
{
dwRead = file.Read(data,4096);
sock.Send(data,dwRead);
}
while (dwRead>0);
delete data;
file.Close();
.........rec
byte* data = new byte[4096];
file.Open("filename",CFile::modeWrite|CFile::typeBinary);
do
{
dwRead = sock.Recive(data,4096);
file.Write(data,dwRead);
}
while (dwRead>0);
delete data;
file.Close();
..............
the prblm i am facing is that i got transer sound and some other stuffs,which is clear and perfectly working i am able to do that but while in file transer it take lot of time ie abt 30 sec for 500kb of data i got 100 mbps network so i think it should take around few sec ie 1-2 sec anyone got a solution for this do reply

Try asyncronouse sockets (not straight forward), synchronous data transfers are always slow.

How do i check the minimum PC configuration that is required to run an application that i have written in VC++.
By PC configuration i mean the processor speed, memory, hard disc space etc.
My application captures video from usb port and tv tuner and process about 30 frames/sec.
I am sorry if this is not the right forum to ask.
Regards,

i am not looking for a VC++ program which returns the PC configuration.
for that matter i am not looking for any program.
I have written an application. When i deliver this application i have to mention in the catlogue the minimun PC requirement. Can u please tell me how to check if it will run in a P3 and not in a P2 processor

What I understood know is that ur application is hardware dependent.If I m right then it is not a simple application but a device driver or system programming sort of thing u have done.

i shudnt have mentioned the usb and tuners in my post. that created the confusion. Let me try and make it a lil more simple.
I wrote an application.
Will in work fine on a P1/P2/P3 processors?
How can i find tat out?
Do i have to keep trying on older pcs until i find one in which it doesnt run??
I hope there is a better way

If it is a normal application then Hardware problem is not that significant unless ur appilcation is not meant for specific OS say WinXP (in this case WinXP specification is required).Still u can check ur application in another hardware configuration for ur satisfaction

I have build an help file to document my program.
I have done an item on my menu to execute it.
Im my Computer it's work well but when I execute my exe file in an other pc it search an HLP file (c:\miki\suivib.HLP, suivib is the name of my program).
What to do so that the help file became part of my program, any where i can execute it.

To me has fallen the task of documenting an in-house database created in OLE 2.0. This DB is accessed only through an API of which there is no source code. Through attrition and evidently poor documentation, the DB layout is basically lost. It is also quite complex with subsequent programmers, who did not understand it, jury rigging it to add functionality to it. Viewing it in Docfile Viewer does show the various "tables" within the DB, and the Uni-Code data is plain to see. Trying to traverse the DB manually and figure out how the system of pointers is working is making no sense to me. Of course without the layout, it's hard to tell what IS a pointer within the DB. I have worked with DB's of a similar nature and complexity before where we did have the layout and was successful with those. Creating a simple record in this DB using the existing software and then trying to see the before and after in simple additions to the data are not working for me.
My question is: Is there anyone that could give me some pointers on where to go with this? Are there good tools to use? I do have the C++ debugger for the executable only (no source code, remember) and the Doc File Viewer.

It started because I wanted a graduated caption bar. I then wanted different buttons - Close, Minimize and Help. I can draw these ok using variations on the famous Paul DiLascia caption project. The Help button occupies the place of the conventional Minimize, and the Minimize occupies the place of the conventional Maximize. How does Windows handle the tooltips, it seems to be by some arcane process. I want to know how to display the correct tooltips and to respond correcly to button presses.

I know about CToolTipCtrl and have used it elsewhere. The difficulty is in knowing where and what to override in CFrameWnd to intercept the system framework tool tips. Spy reveals the only messages are WM_NCMOUSEMOVE, WM_SETCURSOR, and WM_NCHITTEST. I'm assuming that after enough WM_NCHITTESTs are received with the same coords the 'hidden' system functions respond.

There is a CToolTipCtrl for this purpose. A good reading will do. When the mouse hovers over a control the tooltip is displayed. And when mouse leaves it's gone (LOL This is Magic  ).
Dave Regan wrote: and to respond correcly to button presses
WM_LBUTTONDOWN for a click.
WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK for double click.
BN_CLICKED
BN_DBLCLK
You have to handle these message properly. There are others too.

I want to understand the architecture of PrintPreview. I didnt find any documentation regarding CPreviewView in MSDN plus explanation of Print Preview is very minimal. Can some one plz guide me to a detail article about Print Preview Architecture ?
I shall be very thankful.

hi.., a happy n prosperous new year..,
my app makes use of ShellExecuteEx to run an initializing process(on OnInitInstance). It takes some 5 to 7 seconds to finish, so i spawn a thread which has a progressbar which steps for 7 secs. my app WaitForSingleInstance till the Delay(Progress)Dlg PostQuitMessage. Then it doModals the main dlg.
Its all workin fine but when my main dlg is shown, it loses focus. I've tried setActivewnd, setforegrndwnd, setfocus, etc. on the InitInstance of my main dlg. i wanna kno how i can bring da dlg to the foregrnd.
also on enter/esc key press the app exits, its the OnOK() OnCancel(), nope? can i prevent this by a do nothin override?
thanks,

I think this is the reason. The main thread does not own the dialog. I think so. Since you are popping up the dialog from this thread.
whizano wrote: Then it doModals
How can you call all those functions when you have called DoModal()...
Coz unless the dialog closes nothing will work. Calling before won't work too.
