Trivia question time... in any given class, typical OO programming suggests access functions rather than public member variables. I have seen a variety of "styles", and worse, a mix of styles. I'd like to know what your thoughts are on the matter, mindful that it's pretty trivial... 
To send data to a class:
put_Something(value)
PutSomething(value)
set_Something(value)
SetSomething(value)
On the retrieval end:
get_Something()
GetSomething()
What do you like and why?

I use :
Thing GetSomething();
SetSomething( Thing t );
why ? because it's simple.

I've developed a simple dialog based project and I've added a menu
as new resource. Then I've associated the menu to the dialog through
the property editor of the dialog.
Now, I've mapped ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI and ON_COMMAND event in the
dialog class (for any menu item) in order to manage it.
The situation in the following:
- the menu is shown;
- ON_COMMAND events are properly mapped;
- ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI events are not managed as I expect.
The method associated with the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI event is called when
I click on the menu item (before calling the ON_COMMAND method) instead
of being called before showing the menu item.
I've tryed to do the same thing in a simple SDI project and in this case
it works fine (but in that case the meenu is load by code in OnCreate method).
Are there some settings to do ?
Have I done something wrong when I've associated the menu resource to the dialog
through the property editor ?
How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi,
What is the best book to learn Visual Studio 2005 (specially VC++). I'm really good on C++, but I would like to port my software to a complex VC++ gui interface. So I need some very advanced issues about the visual programming.
Thanks a lot,
Dirso

Visual C++? Are you intending to buy a book on Managed C++? (Since you've mentioned 2005).. For unmanaged code, I would suggest you to buy Programming Windows by Charles Petzold. That would give you a good start. For MFC, You could start with Programming Windows with MFC, by Jeff Prosise. Good luck.
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.

How can we design a program that when executes is not shown in the Task Manager.
I mean the program can't be stopped with the help of Task Manager.

You can't. The task manager displays all running processes and gives the user the ability to end a process regardless of what the application wants. The only way you can hide your process from the user is to manipulate the task manager itself and remove your process from it's displayed list.

Program working as Service can't be stopped with the Task Manager help,
but I don't know how to make an exe invisible in the Task Manager.

You can hide your application from the task manager by displaying it as some different name rather than the actual name. This can be done by intercepting task manager process enumeration call and returning a different name when your process is enumerated.

I dont know why you want to hide your program of TaskManager or similar programs but if you search codeproject you can find (your answer)an article about it.

where is the article u r talking abt ???

Doing this is a bad idea since it will make you look like a rootkit.

Hi ,
I know a method to hide a task manager. It is not a perfect one , the idea is this . If take the handle(HWND) of task manager once and hides it using ShowWindow(SH_HIDE) , the next time when user presses Ctrl+esc (or select task manager) it won't show up...
Best Regards

If u can Dream... U can do it

Yes, but the problem is, that he wants to hide a single process, so it wouldn't be shown to user with the task manager. The task manager as such should be visible.
|
|
|
|
|
Not good idea I sometimes use of my program to see processes on the memory with full path of each proccess 
|

Why would you want to do such a thing? Are you attempting to write some sort of malware? Unless you can answer these two questions satisfactorily I would suggest (and hope) you will not get much help here.

It never ceases to amaze me how often people come into this forum (and others), posing questions like this without any context, yet still receive help.
"how can I hide programs from task manager"
"how can I run a dos box secretly in the background"
"how can I stop user terminating a program"
It's hardly ever a good idea to do any of these things is it? and as you point out, it just looks like someone who can write the odd line of code who is trying to do some malware related tomfoolery.

Thanx for ur reply.
But trust me, I don't want to create any malware or anything like that.
I want to create a program that will keep note of everything happening on a machine.
Now such a program can used by guardians, when kids use the PC.
Moreover, this can also be used when anybody intend to give his machine to use to somebody else.
If u want something more, then on downloads.com, there is a software, "xspy" which does all this.
I think a had given u enough evidence, that I don't want to develope any malware.

As far as I'm concerned this is still malware. Lending someone a PC with a spying program installed !!
If you are legit, run it with elevated privileges, let it be visible in the taskmanager and don't give the kids / whoever you lend the PC to the administrator password. Above all, if it is running this sort of spyware, you should let the user know!
just my 2c worth.

I have a vs2005 project which calls a vc6 produced dll, and in that dll there are some classes which use CMap,CList classes.After calling functions in that dll, the vs2005 project crash when CMap class destructor is called.Anybody knows the reason?

yes, your VC6 dll doesn't like being referred to as 'deprecated', so it's giving you a hard time.
Seriously though, how do you expect us to know the reason? The VS version used has nothing to do with your problem. It's a bug in the code, nothing more nothing less.
|
|

What does "a bug in the code" means? If it means a bug in the VC6 class library,then we have to upgrade the old DLL to VS2005.Is it right?
|
|
|
|

The problem is usually that memory is being allocated in one DLL and freed in another DLL. If you're passing a CMap (or other C++ object that does allocations) between DLLs, you'll need to redesign the code so it doesn't do that.
