Your array variable is a pointer to int's but you're only allocating enough memory for n char's. char's are smaller than int's so you're running past the end of the memory you've allocated.

Check box background color

Hi,

I'm using a CButton as a check box in my application.
The background of the window on which this button "sits" is white.
When the check box is created it has a grey background no its rect.

Do you know how to control the background color?
Thanks.

This doesn't work with CButton.

I'm using the the check box on a window and not a dialog. The window color is white. The default check box color is (dialog-like) grey.

O.k so i've got it.
I've used afx_msg HBRUSH OnCtlColor( CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor );
just like RockyJames suggested (cheers mate!:->)
and in the body just:
return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);

Hi snir_ya,

that you can change background color and other...

Thanks whiteSky - you've helped me before. It's a standrd checkbox. No special effects and stuff only it sits on a white window and it's defualt color is grey.
Anyway i've solved with the white brush:
HBRUSH OnCtlColor( CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT ctlColor )
{
return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
}

Linked list problem

Hi,

I have created a class for implementing a doubly linked list. The problem I having is when I'm inserting a new node into the list.

First off, in a function in my class, I create a temporary node and copy the data into it like so:

<br />
PNODE pTempNode;<br />
pTempNode = new NODE;<br />
pTempNode->pNext = NULL;<br />
pTempNode->pPrev = NULL;<br />
pTempNode->pData = new double[dataSize];<br />
<br />
//fill with data<br />
<br />
pTempList->Insert(pTempNode);  // Pass the node to insert into the list<br />

The insert function then adds this node to the list like so:

<br />
if(pHead == NULL)	//	If there is no nodes in the list<br />
{<br />
	pHead = pNew;<br />
	pTail = pNew;<br />
	return;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
        // (code not included for question)<br />
        // find a place to insert based on a condition<br />
<br />
        pPrev->pNext = pNew;<br />
	pNew->pNext = pCurr;<br />
	pNew->pPrev = pPrev;<br />
<br />
}<br />

Problem is though the head always changes to the new node I pass before I have passed it so the new node is not replacing the head.

Thanks for any help and I hope this makes sense!

Dave

You don't seem to be re-assigning your pHead pointer, so pHead will continue to point to the original head of the list (the first item you added)

Pointers are my downfall I don't understand them fully!

How would I re-assign a pointer?

Is there any way to make single exception handler?

Hello!

I've got a problem.
I want to do a single exception handler in my MFC application.
It should work the following way. At any place of my project
I can write: trow e (where e is the object of my Exception class).
And my single exception handler must catch this exception (so the
block try catch would be written only once).

Thanks for any help!

Simply catch the excpetion on your "main" function. i.e.

int main()
{
     try
     {
         YourRealCode();
     }
     catch (const std::exception &e)
     {
         // Do other stuff here.
     }

No, this is an MFC application so you don't have access to the "main" fuction.

This is a good way. But the problem is that my application doesn't have
main function because it is MFC application.

Overide CWinApp::Run and do the same - You can use ClassWizard to overide then make it look like the following:

</code>int CMFCDialogApp::Run() 
{
	try
	{
		return CWinApp::Run();
	}
	catch ( CException *pE )
	{
		pE->Delete();
		return 1;
	}
}</code>
