hi guys,

i am developing a simple worm scanner using VC++ 2008 pro. when the user click on scanning type ( Lets say Auto Scan ) from the main form, the program need to open the auto scan form. My question will be how can i close the main form and open the auto scan form.

i added the button to be click but i dont know the command to close current form and open the autoscan form. i try to use system::windowsform::autoscan; but its showing system is not declared and i added using namespace System to the .h file. yet its showing systme does not exist in namespace.

Kindly help me please.

Closing the main form ends the process.
So I would recommend hiding the main form and then showing the sub form.
After the sub form is closed you can either show the main form or close it.

Have look at the following discussion from a few days ago:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1647&msg=2898321[^]
The actual question took a little decoding, but hopefully the answers will help you a bit!

They're based on MFC's CDialog, but hopefully the approach will help you.

//OnCancel();
}

even after i disable the onCancel and run it. when i click on the button its still closing the application.

________________________________________________________________________

void Spartamenu::OnBnClickedButton1()
{

OnCancel and OnOK are slightly special - other commands need to be in the message map, but not for IDOK / IDCANCEL.

If you look in the documentation for CDialog::OnCancel, you'll see that it is a virtual method.

So, override OnCancel, and make it do nothing.

ie:

void SpartaMenu::OnCancel ()
{
}

I do this for my modeless dialogs - in fact I have an overriden base class for them all (CModelessDialog) that does this, so I don't have to remember each time.

read single line using CFile?

2-Feb-09 2:02

Please read the other Q&A session I linked you to. I gave the answer to an identical question there. And it's too long to type again.

Hi all,
How can I know the number of lines of my file, and I want to read any perticular line ?
plz gv me solution..thx Smile | :)

There is no specific API for getting the number of lines in a file. you need to write your own code for that.

And what do u mean by saying "read a perticular line"?

sam_psycho1-Feb-09 20:07

1-Feb-09 20:07

ok...I meant, I want to read only 10 and 12 number lines from the file.

CStdioFile will be better to use... with that you can read line by line.

As already suggested by ns ami, CStdioFile is a better choice, since it provides the ReadString [^] method (to read the file line by line).

By using CStdioFile prob is solved....thnx a lot Smile | :)

Hi,
I want to append a line to file i tried like this:
CString strNewWord (_T(" Test line to write"));
CStdioFile file;
file.Open(strSystemPath,CFile::modeWrite|CFile::modeNoTruncate,NULL);
file.SeekToEnd();
CString strWriteData("\\n ");
strWriteData+=strNewWord;
file.WriteString(strWriteData);
file.Close();
this code appends data but in single line (assume no compile time errors):

\n Test line to write\n Test line to write\n Test line to write
I want like this:

Test line to write
Test line to write
Test line to write

Looking at the documentation[^](gasp), it says "Any newline character in lpsz is written to the file as a carriage return–linefeed pair".

I can never remember whether \n or \r is a newline character, and which is linefeed - so try either single stepping into the WriteString command and looking, or guess and try \r.

Good luck,

Iain.

On windows none of them (the sequence \r\n is newline), see, for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline[^].
I suppose that 'any newline' means \r or \n or \r\n (but I didn't make a test).

That's why I'd step in and get an authoriative answer! I don't trust me either.

Please don't trust me: from the same article:

To facilitate the creation of portable programs, programming languages provide some abstractions to deal with the different types of newline sequences used in different environments.

The C programming language provides the escape sequences '\n' (newline) and '\r' (carriage return). However, these are not required to be equivalent to the ASCII LF and CR control characters. The C standard only guarantees two things:

1. Each of these escape sequences maps to a unique implementation-defined number that can be stored in a single char value.
2. When writing a file in text mode, '\n' is transparently translated to the native newline sequence used by the system, which may be longer than one character. (Note that a C implementation is allowed not to store newline characters in files. For example, the lines of a text file could be stored as rows of a SQL table or as fixed-length records.) When reading in text mode, the native newline sequence is translated back to '\n'. In binary mode, the second mode of I/O supported by the C library, no translation is performed, and the internal representation of any escape sequence is output directly.
