Hi all,
I am using Install shiield 2010 to create a setup file.
In install shield i will add all the dlls,exe and create a setup file,
So that in other system,i acn just run the setup file and use the exe.
But if any changes in the application,i dnt want to again run the install shield to just replace exe.
Is there anyother option to create a setup file through Install shield.
Where in other system i cn just replace the exe in the folders and run the setup/
Thanks
Raj

totally depend on type of install shield package you are using, if it store it's file in zip file, replace the file. that will do!

Hello there I have a issue related to the usage of the bitmap enabled Dialog window.I have created a keyboard type layout and i wish to get the input through keyboard also.When i use the mouse I am able to get the button(s) pressed and also all the buttons are working fine - the other images DEFAULT,SELECTED,DISABLED ..all get loaded and work since I am using the function here m_BtnBtn1Ctrl.LoadBitmaps ,But then any key pressed on keyboard and the corresponding character on the screen isn't able to do the same as I have been able to do it with clicking of the mouse(and using the Loadbitmaps() function ).
I am using these 3 functions to achieve the same action and effect as that using a mouse
LoadBitmap()
SetBitmap()
Invalidate()
I also tried this piece of code
HBITMAP hbm = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, "\\res\\Selected\\bitmap21.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
and
bitmap.Attach((HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, "\\res\\Selected\\bitmap21.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION));
but these don't seem to give the pressed button effect though internally they work.Can some one please help me with this
Thanks and regards Sayonee

This is the third time that you post this question on this forum, and you posted it aloso in the Q&A.
I suggest you to make your question too clear, rather than insisting in post it as is. And again, if something on an answer is not clear, add a comment to that answer: who wrote it probably could add more explainations.

Hello experts,
I recently solved my duplicate includes problem using the #ifndef-#define-#endif pre-processors.
However, this somehow causes a problem if classes from the same .h file should be used by different .cpp files.
The first .cpp file including the .h file gets compiled, but the others throw an "undefined reference" compile error.
It's as if I never included the .h file on the other files.
How can I overcome both duplicate includes and single includes problems?
A bit on my workstation:
OS: Ubuntu.
IDE: Eclipse.
Compiler: g++
Thanks in advance,
Shy.

That's not how include guards work. They prevent including the same header file in one compilation unit (thus, one cpp file) but doesn't prevent multiple cpp files to include the same header file.

Did you use the guards properly, e.g.
#ifndef _MYCLASSES_H_
#define _MYCLASSES_H_
#endif // _MYCLASSES_H_
#include "myclasses.h"
#include "myclasses.h"
?

Indeed.
However, I neglected to mention that the headers and their .cpps are in one shared-library project, and there's another project using this library.
The other project is the one which fails to compile.
It seems that this is some kind of linkage problem of some sort, but I can't figure it out.
I copied the main file form my executable project into the library project, just to see if it compiles, and it compiled perfectly.
Might I be missing on a specific linkage configuration?

Please, post the full error message.
This confirms that the problem has nothing to do with include guards, otherwise you would get a compilation error, not a linker error.
Are you sure you linked correctly to the library ?

#include <HeaderFileFromLibrary.h>
using namespace NamespaceFromHeaderFile;
int main(int argc, char **args)
{
ClassFromHeaderFile *pClass = ClassFromHeaderFile::GetInstance();
.
.
.
return 0;
}
The first row in main throws the following compile error:
undefined reference to `NamespaceFromHeaderFile::ClassFromHeaderFile::GetInstance()'

AAMOF I'm not experienced with C++ coding.
As I am an experienced developer in other languages, I can write proper code (Or so I would like to think  ), but I don't have the experience for configuring my projects properly.
As far as I can tell I did link the library correctly.
Any way to make sure of it?

How did you do it ? I am not experienced with g++ so I don't know exactly how to specify library to link.
From the error you get, chances are that you didn't link to the library properly.

Are you sure you are using the ClassFromHeaderFile definitions correctly. Is GetInstance() a static member with public visibility?
It's time for a new signature.

No, what he's getting is an linker error. You either do not link the library which contains the definition, or you're linking in wrong order, or you haven't configured your linker properly. Please, post the makefile (or the command line) you are using to build and link the program.

Well, they take a bit of getting used to, but sometimes they work better than the other style.

This is not a COMPILER, but a LINKER ERROR.
It has nothing to deal with guards, but to the fact that your main project (not source files, that way it is defined in the IDE environment) doesn't know about the existence of the library project.
Since you're using eclipse, you should go to the main project settings and configure it to link also the artifact produced by the library project and configure the projects dependencies so that the library is always built BEFORE the main project.
This is one of the most convoluted and confused things that the eclipse CDT has. I've have to admit that -besides a good syntax parser and analyzer- for these relatively trivial things, really sucks!

It appears you guys were right. This is a linker issue.
Eclipse lets you specify a reference to your other project.
Being a devoted Visual Studio for .NET developer, I guess I assumed adding the reference was suffice.
However, I've found the specific settings needed for linking the library.
For future references to this post:
1. Open the project's settings.
2. Expand "C/C++ Build" and select "Settings".
3. Under "Tool Settings" expand "GCC C++ Linker" and select "Libraries".
4. Add the name of the library on the top box, and the path to its files on the bottom one.
(Note that the path to the library should be the project's Debug directory)
So now the project gets compiled, and the linker no longer whines about not finding the library.
However I get some new linking errors.
The new console output is as follows:
make all
Building target: Maple
Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
g++ -L"/LibraryPath/Debug" -o"Maple" ./Source/Maple.o -lCursesPlus
/LibraryPath/Debug/libCursesPlus.so: undefined reference to `CursesPlus::CursesPlusEngine::initialized'
.
.
.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Maple] Error 1
The vertical three dots hold place for a series of "undefined reference to..." errors, which are similar to the first error, but specify a different member of CursesPlusEngine.
And to make it clear: Maple is my main executable project, and libCursesPlus is my library project.
--Edit--
All of the above members are defined as private static in their corresponding header files.

Since you've only got 1 library and 1 runner, and I assume you're not trying to use code from runner in the library, there is only one possibility left: you forgot to add the proper source file(s) to your project(s)...
|
|
|
|

It appears I had to declare the static member variables in both the header files, and the source files.
The project now compiles successfully.
What's the idea behind this repetitive declaration?
It's not like a function which is declared in the header, and defined in the source.
It's simply a variable... Oo *Confused*
|
|

When you declare a static data member in a class you're telling the compiler: "This class has a static member called <whatever>." When you define it outside of a class you're telling the compiler: "You know that variable <whatever>? This is where you reserve memory for it and initialise it with <whatever>."
So it really is identically like a function which is declared in a header and defined in the source.
Cheers,
Ash
PS: It's also identical to the behaviour of global variables - declare in a header, define in source. Which is a big hint why statics are bad, bad, bad...

That's a rather sweeping statement. Parts of the language are there for a reason. There are cases where you absolutely need them. Can you misuse them? Certainly. But just yelling bad, bad, bad, ignores the valid cases.
Once you agree to clans, tribes, governments...you've opted for socialism. The rest is just details.

So where would you use a class static instead of just declaring a variable in an anonymous namespace? i.e. where would you use:
class A
{
private:
static B b;
};
A::B b( b_init );
over:
namespace
{
B b;
}
'Cause I'm not sure I can see any case where that would be of any use. And if you're talking about using public class static data member why not use a global? They've got exactly the same visibility, thread safety issues and initialisation order problems.

...Whenever the non-local is associated with a type, think of the "class object" idioms: reflectors, serializers, registrars etc... Especially in generic code, class statics can be looked up parametrically, which can't be achieved with traditional non-locals.
Aescleal wrote: They've got exactly the same visibility, thread safety issues and initialisation order problems
This remains true and makes c++ non-locals of either kind a dangerous business...
