That fine for intrinsic C++ type which you know exist, but how about users defined types, which you are not aware of? I think our friend wants a tool that will catch all the type cast.

   Simple - you run something like Doxygen or some other documentation tool to get you all of the types that are being used by your application. You then feed that into my suggestion above.

   Brute force, yes, but it works; especially when you do not what to pay money for a good code review/analysis. Hell, lint with the right rules may do it for you.

   Peace!

That is near to impossible.
Thats why I usually use the C++-style casts: The stick out.

Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

you don't need to worry about non-class types casting like int, long, wchar_t, etc ... leave them as-is!

what you want to do is a search as someone else said of the form
(class name)

get a list of all the class names in your project and then to a find in file of that c-style casting!

i.e class MyClass {...};

search for "(MyClass)" in the entire solution!

Problem with fopen

Hi all,
I am facing problem in creating a file and writing to it.

The code looks like this:
TCHAR path[50];
fpLog = fopen((LPCSTR)path,"wt+");

When i am storing some predefined path in variable path.In this case the file is not created in the directory when fopen is executed but when i directly give path e.g D:\\file.txt the file is created and written also.
May be i am wrong in executing fopen.

Regards,

Are you confusing an absolute path with a relative path?

Printing problem for GDI+ in HIMETRIC mode

I've draw a spline in a view whose DC is in Himetric mode using GDI+.No problem is here. But when I print this same spline, it is not placed at proper location. I've observed that all points that are use for spline drawing, remain same and DC also is in HIMETRIC mode. What I have to do to solve the problem? Do I need to change the pointlist that construct the spline for printing? If so how can I do that?

Assuming you have the normal printing gotchas out of the way that are typical in GDI based applications, you need to ensure the GDI+ environment does not interfere with the GDI mapping routines if you are using those instead of the GDI+ transformations.

Jonathan de Halleux has some good tips about this general topic...
Tips on printing with GDI+[^]

Specifically, set

graphics.SetPageUnit(UnitPixel);

to prevent GDI+ interference in the mapping mode stuff.

Hope this helps

if (!res)

MessageBox("Could not run query");

row = mysql_fetch_row(res);
{
i = (int) mysql_num_rows( res );
if (i != 1)

MessageBox("WRONG LOGIN PLEASE TRY AGAIN"," pop. ",MB_ICONASTERISK);

the problem is that data is not fetched

Diff. between DestroyWindow() and EndDialog()

i want to execute some code when a dialog is destroyed, but the code in DeatroyWindow() function doesn't executes when i use EndDialog() but executes when i use DestroyWindow().

What is the diff. between these two and which should be best to use?

I'd go for DestroyWindow(), or OnOK, OnCancel if you are using MFC. I've never done anything with EndDialog().

Dialog Window Created by DialogBox, DialogBoxIndirect .. should be destroyed using EndDialog. OnOk, OnCancel internally uses EndDialog.

And surely OnDestroy() will get called when EndDialog is used.

Are u using MFC?

DestroyWindow is something you call, not something that gets called. In MFC,
CWnd::DestroyWindow() is virtual. If you've overridden it, your override will get called at the
end of DoModal() but that doesn't make it a good place to do something when a dialog is destroyed.
That's a side effect of the way MFC does modal dialogs.

I think a better place is any time at or after you receive a WM_NCDESTROY message.

ya... i'm too thinking that...
because i've placed code in overridden DestroyWindow() function
but it never gets called if EndDialog() method is used to close the dialog box. Frown | :(

Looking at the source code, that is correct Smile | :)

Note that when you receive WM_NCDESTROY, child windows (controls etc) have been destroyed.

If you need access to the controls before they are destroyed, respond to WM_DESTROY which is sent
before WM_NCDESTROY.

How to get press enter key message from combobox control?

If I get press enter key message from edit control, like this:

<br />
BOOL   PreTranslateMessage(MSG*   pMsg)     <br />
{   <br />
	<br />
	if(pMsg->message   ==   WM_KEYDOWN)   <br />
	{   <br />
		<br />
		CWnd   *p   =   GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);   <br />
	<br />
		if(pMsg->wParam   ==   VK_RETURN   &&   pMsg->hwnd   ==   p->m_hWnd   )   <br />
		{   <br />
			MessageBox("OK");   <br />
			return   TRUE;   <br />
		}  <br />
<br />
	}   <br />
<br />
	return   CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);   <br />
}<br />

that's OK, but if I get press enter key message from combobox control:

<br />
BOOL   PreTranslateMessage(MSG*   pMsg)     <br />
{   <br />
	<br />
	if(pMsg->message   ==   WM_KEYDOWN)   <br />
	{   <br />
		<br />
		CWnd   *p   =   GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO);   // IDC_COMBO: combobox<br />
	<br />
		if(pMsg->wParam   ==   VK_RETURN   &&   pMsg->hwnd   ==   p->m_hWnd   )   <br />
		{   <br />
			MessageBox("OK");   <br />
			return   TRUE;   <br />
		}  <br />
<br />
	}   <br />
<br />
	return   CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);   <br />
}<br />

pMsg->hwnd not equals p->m_hWnd,
why?

Hi,
I think this is because combo box is not a single window,it is a combo of list box, edit box and combo itself.
Try CComboBox::GetComboBoxInfo() and it has three HWND handle and match the EDIT box handle as the Enter key message must have been issued from edit control.

Overlapped I/O with I/O Completion Ports

As I looked at some of the examples and articles posted on this site, and trying to code a scalable server, I have a few questions about the design.

How many I/O completion ports does a scalable server usually will use? I thought about it and decided maybe 2 or more? However, most examples I saw uses just 1. Two would mean one for a thread that solely accepts new connections using AcceptEx extension function loaded using WSAIoctl, and the other for another thread that deals with overlapped send, receive and transmit.

Or is it better to have a completion port per task? Say four for new connections, send, receive and transmit each on their own thread?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
