You've answered your own question. Provide a default constructor, and a method to set the number of Chromosomes. Then you can set them in a loop, no matter how many there are.
Or create them on the heap. Then you can call new on them in a loop and pass in your variable.

I suppose you could do something like:
int i;
Organism aOrgArray[iColSize];
for(i = 0; i < iColSize - 1; i++)
aOrgArray[i] = Organism(iNumChroms);

Even if the rest would work, this would leave the last item uninitialised.

Won't work, the item already exists, except it doesn't, because no default constructor is available.
All of this would be possible if you created them on the heap, an array of Organism pointers, and aOrgArray[i] = new Organism(iNumChroms);.

I'm betting he's a C programmer who's never got used to this new fangled ability to declare variables anywhere you like (though I tend to prefer to declare all of my variables at the top, anyway, as it makes it much easier to see what the function's using)

I have to admit that conversely, when I had to start using straight C for Palm work, I had NO idea why my code would not compile when it was scattered with variable declarations.

Damn ..I still can't get it to compile.. If you can tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong I'll buy you lunch..Here's part of what's in main..
const int iColSize = 20;
//Seed rand function
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
int iNumChroms;
cout << "Artificial Life Simulator 1.0\n\n"
<< "Enter the number of pairs of chromosomes in each organism: ";
cin >> iNumChroms;
for(int i = 0; i < iColSize; i++)
Organism aOrgArray[i] = {new Organism (iNumChroms)};
And this is my Organism class definition:
#ifndef ORGANISM_H
#define ORGANISM_H
class Organism {
friend class Chromosomes;
public:
//Constructor: iChromo is number of chromosome pairs
Organism(int iChromo = 1);
~Organism();
//Calc fitness value of single organism called on
void calcFitVal();
//Prints fitness value of single organism called on
void printFitVal() const;
//Mutate a random chromosome
void mutate();
private:
//Fitness value of each organism
int iFitVal;
//Number of pairs of chromosomes in each organism
const int iNumOfChromoPairs;
//Pointer to array of Chromosomes (chromosome pairs)
Chromosomes* pChromoArray;
};
#endif
And if this helps here are the member functions:
// File: Organism.cpp
// Defines member functions of class Organism
#include <iostream>
#include "Organism.h"
#include "Chromosomes.h"
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
Organism::Organism (int iChromo) : iNumOfChromoPairs (iChromo)
{
//Declare array of chromosome for each organism
pChromoArray = new Chromosomes[iNumOfChromoPairs];
}
Organism::~Organism()
{
//Release memory to the O.S.
delete [] pChromoArray;
}
void Organism::calcFitVal()
{
//Set fitness value to 0 on organism called
iFitVal = 0;
//Loop counts number of true chromosomes in each organism
for(int i = 0; i < iNumOfChromoPairs; ++i) {
if(pChromoArray->bChrom0 == true)
++iFitVal;
if(pChromoArray->bChrom1 == true)
++iFitVal;
++pChromoArray;
}
//Move pointer back to the beginning of the array
for (; i != 0; --i)
--pChromoArray;
}
void Organism::printFitVal() const
{
//Print fitness value for each organism
cout << iFitVal << endl;
}
void Organism::mutate()
{
//Pick a random pair of chromosomes in the organism
int iRanPair = rand() % iNumOfChromoPairs;
//Pick a random chromosome in that pair and mutate it
if(rand() % 2 == 0){
if(pChromoArray[iRanPair].bChrom0 == true)
pChromoArray[iRanPair].bChrom0 = false;
else
pChromoArray[iRanPair].bChrom0 = true;
}
else {
if(pChromoArray[iRanPair].bChrom1 == true)
pChromoArray[iRanPair].bChrom1 = false;
else
pChromoArray[iRanPair].bChrom1 = true;
}
}

You seem to be trying to impliment what Nick gave you rather than what I said. With all due respect to Nick, in this case he is mistaken, this code will not work. I don't see where you have actually created this array, for starters, and to assign values like this you'd need to be using the heap.
Organism * aOrgArray = new Organism [iColSize];
for (int i = 0; ....)
aOrgArray[i] = new Organism(iNumChroms];
don't forget delete [] aORgArray; at the end if you do it this way. The other is to provide a constructor that takes no arguments, and then you can do this:
Organism [20] aOrgArray; // A const int value may work, I am not sure.
for (int i = 0;.....
aOrgArray[i].SetNumberChroms(iNumChroms);
Method B is neater IMO.

Christian..
Method B works perfectly...and I could even use a const although I had to do this:
Organism aOrgArray [20];
instead of
Organism [20] aOrgArray;
but that's no biggie.
Damn...now I owe you lunch...

I have some questions regarding Arrays of Controls. I have two arrays declared as follows:
<br />
#define MAX_NUMBER 10<br />
<br />
CStatic m_cStaticArray[MAX_NUMBER];<br />
CString m_strStringArray[MAX_NUMBER];<br />
Now what I would like to do is be able to set the m_strStringArray to a value and then use DDX to update the Static control that relates to it. My problem is that the application may not actuall use all 10 of the CStatic controls. Depending on the user it may only use 1, none, some or all of them. The controls are created depending on certain variables that occur during run time. I have defined all the IDs ahead of time in the Resource.h file for the static controls.
Do I have to perform the movement of the data from the CString variable to the CStatic control manually or can I still use DDX in some way to automate this?
As a side question that I just thought of, if I override the OnHScroll method of a CScrollView derived class do I have to then perform all the various functions required to get the view to scroll or can I do just a small amount of data manipulation and still let the CScrollView handle moving the view?
Thanks for any help,
-Eric

You should be able to do this with the DDX mechanism. You need to add the entries to map them manually:
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_DROP_GRAPHS, m_DropGraphs);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_RESULTS, m_lcResults);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_PKA_LIST, m_lcpKaList);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_GRAPH, m_YSExtrapolation);
for (int i = 0 ; i < number_of_controls ; i++)
{
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_OF_FIRST_STATIC + i, m_cStaticArray[i]);
}
Just don't put your code inside the AFX_DATA_MAP tags otherwise class wizard will complain.

Thanks for the help, but I still get an assertion error on the UpdateData() method in my OnInitialUpdate function.
Here is what my DoDataExchange looks like:
<br />
void CMyView::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange *pDX)<br />
{<br />
for(int i = 0; i < MAX_USERS; i++)<br />
{<br />
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_STATIC_ONE + i, m_strUsers[i]);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Any other thoughts?
-Eric

You should only call DDX_Text on an item is you actually create it. Thinking on it, you may need to move this code into your OnInitDialog() as the DDX stuff gets called for you by the CDialog::OnInitDialog() implementation which will be before you create your controls properly (unless you do it in the WM_CREATE message handler).

Roger,
Thanks for the help. I got it working properly now by adding a member variable to my View class indicating the number of controls created. Then in the DoDataExchange function I just did a simple for loop until I reached that number.
Thanks again for the help!

Hi,
I'm creating an app with single document but multiple views.
I'm trying to dynamically change the toolbar as different views are activated.
At the moment, I overwrite the ActivateView() function of each view to make a call to the following function:
BOOL CMainFrame::SetupMainFrameToolbar(UINT ToolbarResourceID, BOOL loadToolbar)<br />
{
if (loadToolbar == TRUE)<br />
{ if (!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(ToolbarResourceID))<br />
{ TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");<br />
return (FALSE); <br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
int tempID, location;<br />
CString stringToDisplay, tempString;<br />
UINT ButtonCounter = m_wndToolBar.GetCount();<br />
for (int index = 0; index < ButtonCounter; index++)<br />
{
tempID = m_wndToolBar.GetItemID (index);<br />
tempString.LoadString(tempID);<br />
location = tempString.GetLength() - tempString.ReverseFind ('\n') - 1;<br />
stringToDisplay = tempString.Right (location);<br />
m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText (index, _T((LPCTSTR) stringToDisplay));<br />
}<br />
<br />
m_wndToolBar.SetSizes (TOOLBAR_BUTTON_SIZE, TOOLBAR_BUTTON_IMAGE_SIZE);<br />
<br />
if (loadToolbar == TRUE)<br />
{
FloatControlBar(&(m_wndToolBar), CPoint(50,50));<br />
DockControlBar (&(m_wndToolBar), AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_TOP);<br />
}<br />
RecalcLayout();<br />
m_wndToolBar.InvalidateRect (NULL, TRUE);<br />
return (TRUE);<br />
}
As you can see, I was forced to float and redock the toolbar, as AutoSize() doesn't work (it clips my new toolbar to the width of the old toolbar) and RecalcLayout() makes my toolbar buggy (text is only displayed after first a mouse has hovered over the toolbar).
Anybody has ever done this before? Like totally replace the main toolbar everytime a new view is activated?
Help ^^
|
|
|
|
|
Again, no reply.. and again, I've solved the problem ^^
What I do is I create an array of toolbars in my MainFrame, and turn them on and off and redock them as the need arise.
Okay.. thanks.

Many thanks,

It's probably appropriate that you ask this in the forum for the article, as Chris is the best person to answer you, and he will get a copy via email if you ask there. It would also help to explain what difficulty you're having. What are the errors you are getting ? What is not working ? etc.

If you dont mind using it as a activex control, there is an article here on CP porting it to COM. Using Activex control in dialog is very simple. Would work similar to flexgrid.
