Oh, I see. Then perhaps SetActiveView is what you need.

Dynamic defines?

Is there a way to create c++ variables out of literals read in from a file? I want to read in a file that has a line that reads CONNECT. I want to make a variable named CONNECT and have the value of 2000 so I can use it in a switch/case statement. I want to be able to create these variables dynamically so that I can eliminate hard-coded values.

Any help will be appreciated,

not at run time.

at compile time you can use the "##" construct to glue two strings together in a macro.

-c

When history comes, it always takes you by surprise.

There's no way to do it at run-time, but you can go with something like a hash map, where you associate a name ("CONNECT") with a value (2000). Check out the std::map class, which you can define like this:

#include <map>
using namespace std;
 
typedef map<CString, int> FileVariables;  // assuming all values are integers
 
FileVariables vars;
fv["CONNECT"] = 2000;
fv["DISCONNECT"] = 4000;
 
// Then you can use it like this:
if (fv["CONNECT"] > 10000)
   ....

Let's say I have changed the captions of some buttons in my MFC dialog application at runtime. Is it possible at some time later to reload the original names from the resource file without restarting the application and how?

I suggest you using a sting table and then restore the names with LoadString().

DTMF Decoding? (or FFT code)

Simon Steele25-Feb-03 4:04

25-Feb-03 4:04

Has anyone seen any good example code for doing DTMF decoding? I know that TAPI can do this with a modem, but I need to do it with a standard wave stream - it's a non-telephony application.

If you don't, then perhaps you could point me in the direction of some good FFT code or a library of some sorts.

Thanks in advance,

easiest way is to open the gif in something like paintshop pro, then copy it (edit|copy type copy i mean), and paste into the VisStudio dialog editor. thats what I do, anyway.

#include <beer.h>

Hi I tried it but was not successful. It is not displaying the entire image but just a part of it.
Thanks

Rescaling the image ends up distorting it. I am using Microsoft Photoeditor.

I'm definitely doing this the wrong way but don't know why.

Thanks

You are doing it the right way. When you rescale the image in Photoeditor, you have to ensure you keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise you will end up with a distorted image.

example:
the image you have is 400x800 pixels. This is a 1:2 ratio, so when you resize the 400 to say, 200, you then have to change the 800 by the same aspect ratio about, which is 50% here, so you would end up with a new image size of 200x400, which is smaller but still maintains the same aspect ratio and should not distort the image.

I hope this helps!

It did help but now I am unable to resize the icon and it is tiny. How do I correct this?

I fail to open an ACCESS mdb file by DAO unless i convert the mdb file to old version.
How can i open the original database (the one from which i converted to old version)?

sounds like you need to update your DAO library on that machine. I think it might be wrapped in MDAC now.

choosing a database

Hi,

I've heard of many databases : Access, SQL Server, Interbase, Oracle, MySQL, etc...

Now, I have to choose one, and I don't know how to decide. I guess to be able to choose, I need to know what are my needs. Well, I need a portable database, efficent, fast, reliable, etc....
How can I decide which one is the best (okay, I already know I won't use Access, I need a real database server) ?

Any suggestions welcome !
Thanks !
Jerome

I don't know anything about MySQL, but I imagine that there's plenty of info available on the web. I do know Oracle, and it's got all the features you listed: portable, efficent, fast, reliable. However, I don't know about much about its price, which I imagine is not cheap. Also, the tools that come with it haven't been the best in the past few years. There are some nice third-party ones available (such as TOAD) which make working with Oracle very nice.

SQL Server would probably be my top choice if portability wasn't an issue.

Alvaro

Look at using the CDaoDatabase, CDaoRecordset, and more specifically CDaoWorkspace. These MFC classes should allow you to create a .mdb file with is a database using Microsoft's Jet engine.
