Hi everybody,
i have a problem with fullpath file names containing back slashes. The file names are saved in a CString array. The problem are the singel back slashes for ex.
"C:\dir1\dir2\file.txt". Is there an easy way to substitute each "\" with "\\"?
Thanks in advance

CString has the Replace method, but \ must be properly escaped, for instance:
str.Replace("\\","\\\\")
Sure do you need this?

don't !!!
'\\' is only the representation in "design mode" (when coding) of the character \.
when you type a path in windows explorer, you type with a single \, don't you ?

why you need that?

Hi,
i need the pathname to open the file. I get the filenames list form a CFileDialoge object. I found some examples in MSDN while reading about CFile where the pathnames have double back slashes. So i think i have to change the back slashes into double backslashes
|
|

i repeat : No !
paths are written with double backslashes only when in a string in your source code only, like
<code>"</code>C:\\myfolder\\myfile.txt<code>"</code>
but this produces a paths to being like this internally :
C:<code>\</code>myfolder<code>\</code>myfile.txt
if you get a string from a CFileDialog for instance, you don't need to modify the path at all...!

Hi toxcct, hi everybody,
i' get the pathname CString with CFileDialog and then i pass it to function casts the CString to char* then it opens the file with fopenf. The C function fopenf is used because of a legacy code with a lot of fscanf calls with a specific foramt.
I'm forecd to use theh old code for many reasons. Now, the orignal code workes with double backslashes, and if don't change the single backslashes to double, it won't work. Now i'm more confused
Is there a difference when useing CFile::open() instead? In that case i need to rewrite the whole fscanf block 
Thank u all for u help

damn, don't you understand ???????
well, i sum up, but it's my last explanation !
1. you choose your file with the CFileDialog
2. you then get the file path into a CString object
3. you pass this CString object directly to fopen() !
there's no need to change a backslash into double backslashes, because you need this only when you hardcode strings in your source code (because the \ is the character escapment, and '\\' is the ascii code for the \ character) !!!

If you can help the man, do so. WHY he wants to do it is not important at all.

helping a guy doesn't always provide a working piece of code !
in this case, what the OP needed is useless, simply he didn't understand that double backslashes exists only because the backslash is the escapment character...
i think what Alok did was to make the OP explicit his real need, and then Alok could explain him that he was wrong...

Helping someone doesn't necessarily include providing a piece of working code. Asking why someone wants to do something is irrelevant. If someone can't actually help, they should just STFU and let someone else step up. The post I responded too has already generated three needless replies and just makes noise that the OP has to wade through.

Sir, actually just want to know root cause of the problem.. numerous times people here at forums ask thing which they don't actually need! which create problem to them at later stage.. so to solve there problem.. some time people ask what actually they need.. Just like we do in URS/SRS phase.. You very well know that.
secondly, if you see.. that guy require double slashes which you see he don't need! hope i clear my point.. if any thing wrong... i am sorry!

Hi All,
On what all events CWnd::OnKillFocus event is generated.
Actually, I have my grid and when I copy & paste a value in the cell, OnKillFocus event gets generated. I have actally confused with this behavior.
Is anyone have some idea about the same?
Thanks

A kill focus notification should only be sent when a control actually looses focus. For example, if you have a button control focused, and you press <tab>, use a nmemonic to go to another control, or click on another control/window, that button should send a kill focus message.
Pasting into an edit control, or some other editor, should not be sending kill focus events, IMHO. You may get them as you moved from the copied cell to the target cell (because the source of the copy looses focus), and this may or may not be correct behavior depending on the behavior of the grid.
Peace!

hi all,
i am having Two DLL's and in one Dll i am having a Class, in that Class i am having a static member variable.
Now in another DLL's Class i want to acess the One's (First Dll's) static member variable.
//----------------------------------------------------------
First DLL,
Class One
{
static int onevar;
}
//----------------------------------------------------------
my question is in the second Dll
Class Two
{
// I want to dynamically link only the First Member Variable.
}
Please give any code such that i can access the First DLL static Member Variable in the Second DLL.
Any Import Techinique.

example
#define TESTDLL_API __declspec(dllexport)
//Testdll.h
class TESTDLL_API CTestDLL {<br />
public:<br />
CTestDLL(void);<br />
static int m_i;<br />
};
//Testdll.cpp
TESTDLL_API int CTestDLL::m_i=0;
In DLL two, where you are going to use this header file and
define TESTDLL_API macro as __declspec(dllimport)....
Hope this helps..
Thanks...
Please let me know if you have some doubt....

I have encountered annoying problem:
<br />
template <class Type, class Allocator>} class A : public B, public vector<Type,Allocator><br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
class sample1 : public mybase<br />
{<br />
}<br />
I have a need to cast this template:
<br />
A<sample1*> vec;<br />
vector<mybase*> *result = (vector<mybase*>*)&vec;
How to do it if it is actually possible?
(i need exactly that situation, from A template i need to get pointer to A but casted to vector)
Thank you for reading this and even more for the answer... although i am afraid it is not posssible

It is quite difficult to read your code because all the < and > are missing (and, for templates, that's quite annoying). Replace all occurences of these in your code by the '<' and '>' symbols (just above the emoticons). And by the way, what is sample1 and mybase ? What are they doing here  ?
Anyway to answer your question: vec (instance of A) IS a vector (because A inherits from std::vector) so you can use all the methods of your vector, you don't need to cast it.

Naah, when i say i need it, i NEED it
I have a base class with dispatch table for pointers to derived class member variables and to leave it generic i need to downgrade any type to my base class or default supported types. I am supporting vector but unfortunally some people has """creative""" way of thinking, i could rewrite it but its a lot of code to change so i would like to avoid it by casting it to vector<*>* that i can handle. And as i am modifying values of member variables via dispatch table in base class i cant just move it to normal vector<> and then back, i need actual pointer to that vector so i can modify it (well, add new values inside, remove values,...)
Well anyway thx for responding.

Sorry, I misunderstood you, I thought you wanted to cast your class to the base class vector (but in fact you want to cast the contents of the vector).
But I still don't fully understand why you want to do that. Another point also: are you sure you want to inherit from std::vector ? Wouldn't it be better to create a class that wraps the vector and provide functionalities to 'manipulate' the vector (and in these methods, you'll then be able to retrieve a specific entry in the table and cast it to the appropriate base class if needed).
Maybe it is just a design issue.
You can also do something like this:
template <class T>
class A
{
std::vector<T> myVector;
};

Well its a long story, i'll try to make it short. You got a class structure (class has member variables that can be ints, strings, whatever, classes, ptrs). In every constructor, pointers (or pointers to pointers) to member variables (and some other stuff,...) are stored in dispatch table in my class that is base class of every class used. With this i can convert all the class structure to xml and recreate it from xml. It works like a charm  , but now i have described problem.
I have thought about the walkaround you described, but unfortunally the dam* template is """legacy""" i got and it is used everywhere. Changing anything would mean a lot of modifying unless i recreate all the base operations. Sure it would work but cast would be more efficient solution.

ok. solved. thank you for your help.

Sorry, not possible. vec and result are of different types with no relations.
A<simple1*> has nothing to do with vector<mybase*>; the problem is not in A and/or vector, but in template parameters - simple1* and mybase* - they should be exectly the same type.
IOW, if template arguments are of defferent types (no matter their parent-child relationship), the resulting templatized classes are incompatible.
I think the best thing to do is change the design strategy.

Damn... yeah meanwhile i saw some problems coming...
Just to clearify for myself;
I am storing pointers in template, so the size of stored data should be the same, size of pointer.
Why this is a problem?
