Ever noticed how there seems to be two sorts of selection behaviours in comboboxes? One sort makes you click and release the button before you can select items in the drop down list. The other allows you to click and drag the mouse, and will select on the mouse button up.
The default ones that appear in my MFC programs seem to be the first type, where you have to click twice to select something. Is there a way to make them into a click and drag type selection?

following code snippet works in VC++ 6
file = fopen((LPCTSTR)CSTRING_VARIABLE,"wb+")
but in VC 2005 above code can not compile because of CString and casting problem.
how I can convert above code to be compatible with visual C++ 2005.

What's the actual error?
Second, do you really need the explicit cast? What is CSTRING_VARIABLE?
You should be able to use a CString without the cast there, unless there's
a conflict with char/wchar_t types.

fopen function need one const char * as its first parameter.
in visual C++ 6 we can cast a CString variable to a char* by using (LPCTSTR) .
but this simple methodology does not work for visual C++ 2005.
Because we want to upgrade one project from VC6 to VC2005, thus it is neccessary to change it.
Now I want a simple code snippet which converts a CString variable to char* .

Gut Mikh.

You shouldn't need the cast. CString has a cast operator that does this for you.
I'm still wondering what the actual compiler error is.
Gut Mikh Tappe wrote: we can cast a CString variable to a char* by using (LPCTSTR)
That's not a valid cast. LPCTSTR is a constant pointer to a TCHAR.
TCHAR can be a char or a wchar_t, depending on if _UNICODE is defined.
Without knowing the error message, I'm guessing your build settings are for unicode,
in which case you should either change the project settings to not use unicode, use the
correct CStringT type, or use _tfopen() instead of fopen().
Regardless, you should NOT need the cast. Casts should be used only when absolutely necessary,
because they can hide errors, exactly as demonstrated here.

I do agree with Mark's comment. When you create a new project in Visual C++ 2005, probably you might have not noticed the "Use Unicode Libraries" in the Wizard.
While you are dealing with these it's better to use tchar functions. You can get those functions just by including #include <tchar.h>
Please post the error code if possible.

i do agree with Sarath.
when you change the charset in the project property sheet from "Use Unicode Libraries" to "Use MBCS Libraries",the compile problem with CString will disappear at once.

Try:
LPCSTR
Instead of LPCTSTR
|
|
|
|
|
Drop the casts. Use code like this:
#include <tchar.h>
file = _tfopen(CSTRING_VARIABLE, _T("wb+"));

Any experienced people, would you please check my code fragments which is to collect all files of *.txt in the current directory where the present program resides. The following code is not working. It compiles, but did not pickup any files of *.txt in the directory.
I do not know why and where is the problem ? I try to store all the collected files into fileName[i].
Thanks alots for the guidance.
-------------------------------------------------
//
hFind = FindFirstFile("*.txt", &FindFileData);
fileName[0]=FindFileData.cFileName;
//
while (FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData) != 0)
{
i=+1;
fileName[i]=FindFileData.cFileName;
}
int nfile=i;
FindClose(hFind);

Is that what you meant there? Or did you want
i += 1;
You probably want to increment i one more time after the while() loop to get
the proper file count.
You should also check and make sure FindFirstFile succeeds.

can't you copy the file name with strcpy() or strncpy() instead of your own loop?

Maybe you want to change your code to this,do you want?
hFind = FindFirstFile(_T("*.txt"), &FindFileData);
int i=0;
do
{
fileName[i]=FindFileData.cFileName;
i++;
}while(FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData) != 0);
int nfile=i;
FindClose(hFind);
or like this
CStringArray str;
hFind = FindFirstFile(_T("*.txt"), &FindFileData);
do
{
str.Add(FindFileData.cFileName);
}while(FindNextFile(hFind, &FindFileData) != 0);
int nfile=str.GetCount();
FindClose(hFind);

Hello to all,
I never understand linker errors in visual studio,
I bring my class declaration, and the errors.
please advice me what to do.

You need to create a actual instance of your static member variables.
Add something like this to the CPP file (outside of any methods/functions)...
int Employee::_minimumFee = ...;
int Employee::_maximumHours = ...; Mark

how come I can't define the static variable in the .h with all other members,
and initiate it in the constructor?
isn't it a basic thing we might wanna do?
how exactly does it work?
thanks a lot for the reply.
till you answer I will do what you said
|

With static member variables, only one instance exists that is shared between all objects of
the class. It is your responsibility to provide that one instance somewhere.
Because the static member variables are shared between all objects of the class, it doesn't make much
sense for every new object of the class to re-initialize the variables.

and y do I redefine it by again specifying it's an int,
after doing it in the header?
|
|
|
|
|
You're not redefining it.
It's declared in the class declaration (.h file), defined in the cpp file (or wherever you choose to define it).
