Not quite; these are the start points for the user part of the application, and are called by the initialisation routine, which is why (Win)main() has to have a specific signature. The actual entry point of the exe is much earlier and is part of the framework library that is automatically added by the linker.
The best things in life are not things.

You're quite right.

hello guys... I have this piece of code. Lets say my name contains 'u' one time, my code will reduce the string size by 1, exludes the 'u' from string and displays it on screen.
if (chr[i] == 'u'){
count++;
}
else{
cout<<chr[i];
}
cout<<"\nIt has "<<strlen(chr) - count<<" characters.";
Now I am using if - else here...can these two tasks be done in just if ? Like incrementing count and displaying name in if without using else.
|

|

Yes:
if(chr[i] != 'u' || !++count) {
cout << chr[i];
}
Whether you should do this or not is another question - it's a lot harder to understand.

Ummmm, definitely not advisable:
1. Whether this works or not is compiler dependend - a compiler is free to evaluate the left or right side of an || operator in whatever order it likes!
2. Like you said, hardly anyone will understand, and even those that do will doubt what it does was actially intended, and might decide to 'fix' it wrongly.
Apart from that - interesting thought; I was about to answer 'no'

Erm... hold on a sec here... Short-circuiting IS mandated, and can only work if it's evaluated in order. It's always true for PODs.
The only caveat is, if it is a class, and that class has an overloaded && or || operator. Then, both sides will be evaluated, so that the compiler can pass the element on the right hand side as a parameter.
One (very) good reason to never, ever overload them.
At least, this is the way I understand it, and I can't imagine anything undoing that, as tons of code that did this:
if( pszString != NULL && *pszString != '\0' )
would randomly crash if *pszString was evaluated first. Course, in this example the actual comparisons can be removed, but I was trying to be explicit.
N'est pas?

I've learned not to rely on evaluation order, but I just looked it up and found my argument would only be true in cases where both argument sneed to be evaluated in any case, such as in an addition. In fact, Stroustrup explicitely names the exception, and that exception is exactly what you said:
"The operators ' (comma), && (logical and), and || (logical or) guarantee that their left-hand operand is evaluated before their right-hand operand."
(Bjarne Stroustrup, The C++ Programming Language, Third edition, page 123)
So I stand corrected.
Thanks for pointing this out.

I think there's some piece of information missing: Your code doesn't show a loop, or any other construct that loops through the characters in chr, and there's no point in displaying count before the end of that loop. Then in your request you suggest displaying 'name' within your if block, but there's no variable name, and if this should refer to chr, there is no point in displaying it fully for every value of i that you use in that if statement.
Unless your string chr will always be exactly "u" (i. e. a string of 1 character, which is 'u'), your question, taken literally, doesn't make much sense.
Besides, why do you want to get rid of that else statement?

How create a GUI to allow screen capture?
|
|
|
|
|
You mean other than the built in windows one? Do you only want a subset of your screen captured?
|
|
|
|
|
I want to implement a mechanism that allows users to easy select the capture area (the entire screen, the window of a program, a rectangle, ...)...is it possible?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it's possible.
Which part are you not sure about?

This is possible. One of the early editions of Petzold's Windows books - "Programming Windows 95" gives an example of the BitBlt() which does exactly this. This is done in raw Windows API. You can, of course, redo it in C# or your favorite language.

yes, i know BitBlt(), but how can i get the handle of the window that mouse over?how can i select, with mouse, a rectangle of the screen?

This is relatively simple if you know anything about Win32 UI/graphics programming. Since you seem to want to skip that part, why not just search for examples?
Binging "win32 draw selection rectangle on desktop" finds many examples, including this...

How do you know the OP is not asking about how to implement spell check in CRichEditCtrl?

As in link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e5ewb1h3%28v=VS.80%29.aspx[^]
I defined
#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>
and call _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() in 2 places:
place 1. from a menu Item.
in this case, I see leaking info as:
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{3443} normal block at 0x02EE9BF8, 373376 bytes long.
Data: < > C0 C0 C0 C0 C0 C0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Data: <( > 28 10 07 02

Data: < H a > 01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 48 00 61 00
E:\Develops\MyProgram\MyUser.cpp(101) : {3258} client block at 0x01DCF890, subtype 0, 152 bytes long.
a CWnd object at $01DCF890, 152 bytes long
strcore.cpp(118) : {3256} normal block at 0x01DCE130, 22 bytes long.
Data: < N e > 01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 4E 00 65 00
I think info above is not meaningful because app has not exited and many operator "new"s have not been deleted.
place 2. at exit point (MFC - destructor of CWinApp's subclass)
this time, I still see
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{3473} normal block at 0x01DA20C0, 28 bytes long.
Data: < !Ce > BC DF AF AB 21 43 65 87 83 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
{3443} normal block at 0x02EE9BF8, 373376 bytes long.
Data: < > C0 C0 C0 C0 C0 C0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
But, this time, there is no any info about my program files, such as in case 1:
E:\Develops\MyProgram\MyUser.cpp(101) : {3258} client block at 0x01DCF890, subtype 0, 152 bytes long.
a CWnd object at $01DCF890, 152 bytes long
strcore.cpp(118) : {3256} normal block at 0x01DCE130, 22 bytes long.
Data: < N e > 01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 4E 00 65 00
My Q is:
Does info in place 2 mean that my program has no memory leaks because there are no my files there?
Or how to find solution without my files related info?
