Dialog Based apps have the entire application out into a dialog, though there might be sub-dialogs.
SDI and MDI are document oriented apps usually. You can save/open stuff. In SDI only one document is open at a time as in Notepad. In MDI you can have multiple documents as in VS.NET.
Now we have a funny kind of SDI/MDI mix in Office 2K/XP where the documents open in separate windows like Multiple SDIs all part of a single huge MDI

That is part of Microsofts new "Document-centric" model, where the whole philosophy is geared towards the users document rather than the application that they are running. So they want people to refer to the "Word document", or "Powerpoint presentation" rather than the Word application.
BTW, this model is called multi-threaded SDI.

Hi,
In a dialog-based application, I need show all
the cd-room drivers with a list control in a computer.
The names of all cd-drive should be inserted into the list-control. When a cd-driver is selected,
it should operate the contents of the cd-room.
How should i do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
You may use GetDriveType() function to determine drive type.
To get all drives, use GetLogicalDriveStrings() or GetLogicalDrives.
Later, just use FindFirstFile(), FindNextFile(), FindClose() to obtain all file system objects.

i asked a question refering to why my cin stopped working after the program had looped, my answer was cin.flush();
I applied that line to my code, and the program didnt reconize it,... if this is the way to reinitialize a cin for it works everytime the loop goes through, then why wont it work? is there a required header?
painless see?
thanks!

I'm sorry, it's cout that requires the .flush(); 
The reason is that one needs to be cleared before you use the other.

Try with cin.clear(), which should reset cin in case you had a formatting error.

ok... that makes more sense... cin.clear(); but is that all? the line works but the program comes acrros the same thing... after you insert the GPA of the student "GPA is a float" the program prints the name and the gpa, then it asks for the name again, but when you press enter after the name, the program atomatically inserts the previouse GPA.
thanks again.. "If i figuere it out, ill post  "

That's because of the new line (character "\n") that you entered in previous cin, to fix this problem simply add statement "cin.ignore(1, '\n');" before the second use of cin. Example:
<br />
int x;<br />
float y;<br />
cin >> x;
cin.ignore(1, '\n');
cin >> y;

Hi, everyone!
In one of my class(CClassA), I have declare a member variable of my B class( CClassB). How to access the CClassA from CClassB?

You'll need to add a pointer to CClassA as a member of CClassB

Hi, nish!
This is exactly what I did. But I got a lot of compile error.
I found the reason is the header file of class A & B must include each other. During compiling time the compiler seems not able to determine who's who? ( Chick/Egg problem )
Any idea on this issue?

Instead of doing the cross include, do a forward declaration. IF class A needs to know what class B is, and vice versa, simply do the #include in the .cpp files, and in the header, do this
Class A.h
class B;
class A
{
...
and vice-versa.

Christian,
Try your method without success. But later I put class A and class B in the same file. The problem solved.
// Header file:
class A;
class B;
class B
{
A m_variable;
}
class A
{
B m_variable;
}
In the above header file, the sequence is very important. class B must be defined before the class A.
Is it possible to separate class A and class B into different file?
Best Regards,
Wayne King

It depends on how you're accessing class B. If it's by pointer or reference, then you only need to provide A with a forward declaration of B:
class B;
class A
{
private:
B* m_pB;
B& m_b;
};
This is because you're only declaring B as a pointer or reference, which are always 4 bytes (in Win32), so the compiler doesn't need anymore information to determine the size of A.
If you were going to declare an instance of B directly inside of A, then the compiler would need to know how big B is so that it could add it to A's size. For that, the compiler needs B's definition. So you need to put B's definition on top of A, which is typically done by including the header file where it's defined (B.h):
#include "B.h"
class A
{
private:
B m_b;
};
I hope to have shed some light on this stuff.

Alvaro

I have a dialog with a list control in it and a handler for the LVN_COLUMNCLICK notification. In the handler I am displaying a modal dialog, the problem is that this dialog does not initially have the focus, I have to click on it once to activate it. But it gets worse..... if I click outside the dialog on the list control header in the background window then I get another dialog popup! (the header click handler is being called again)
What is going on here? I did a test and moved the dialog display into the NM_CLICK notification of the list control and all works ok, seems to be some problem with popping up a dialog in the header click notification.
|

The header will capture the mouse when it is clicked, so that drag&drop can be detected (if the header is dragged, LVN_COLUMNCLICK will not be sent). To avoid the problem you're seeing, you can call ::SetCapture(NULL); prior to displaying the dialog.

Hi,
Is there a relatively straightforward way of determining the video card? I am creating a small settings panel for a game, and want the video card to appear in a listbox. I figure I probably need to use DirectX to find out the video card driver. Any pointers as to how to do this would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Keith

If you simply want a list of the display devices currently installed on the system, then you can use EnumDisplayDevices.
If you would like to get more complicated and list all of the display modes that each of the devices that each display adapter supports, then there is a really nice example program that does this in the DirectX 8.0 SDK.
Good Luck!

Many thanks for your reply, EnumDisplayDevices sounds exactly what I need. Unfortunately, I have tried to use it but I get a compile error:
EnumDisplayDevices: Undeclared Identifier
I have inluded user32.lib and the windows.h header, and the autotext in VC++ seems to recognise the function, but it just won't compile.
If anyone has any ideas of why this might be, I would be very grateful.
Again, many thanks,
Keith

It says in MSDN that the function is only available in Win98, Windows 2000 or above. That means that you will have to define the version that you would like to compile for to include the version 5 function headers. make this definition at the top of your stdafx.h file:
#define WINVER 0x0500
but once again, this will make you program so that it will not work on windows 95. Hopefully this is acceptable.
