I have a project that I need to have a class A with a member pointer to a class B; class B has a member pointer to class A. How do I mess with the header files are whatever to do this?
I would also like to know how most people do their header files #includes. Is it like MS with one header file including every other header file and every source file includes that with #ifndef and #endif around every header file? Sorry, that sounds confusing. One main header file that #include's every header file, classes and such. Then every header file with a class declaration has #ifndef, #endif around it so it won't include more than once. Lastly, all source files only #include the main header file, nothing else. If this is the best way to do it, does it matter to #include one header file before another?
Coming back to my original question, I'm sure you can do preprocessor directives like console function declarations with classes. But where would I put those?

You need a forward declaration of one of the classes that tells the compiler that the class exists, but you'll define it later:
class A;
class B
{
private:
A *m_Ptr;
};
It is wise to always put a #ifdef round every header file, but personally I would only include a header file where you need - needlessly including every single header file will just create a big spaghetti mess. Keep it clean and include as much as you can in the source files, and whatever is needed in the header file to compile the class. Otherwise as soon as you start changing one header everything falls apart

class1.h
#if !defined(__CLASS1_H__)
#define __CLASS1_H__
// Forward declaration
class Class2;
class Class1
{
Class2* m_pClass2;
// Other stuff
};
#endif
class2.h
#if !defined(__CLASS2_H__)
#define __CLASS2_H__
// Forward declaration
class Class1;
class Class2
{
Class1* m_pClass1;
// Other stuff
};
#endif
Then include both of the header files in the implementation of these classes.

You need to forward declare class b. eg.
class b;
class a { ... class b* m_b; }
class b { ... class a* m_a; }
For a good discussion on #includes I recomend "Large Scale C++ Software Design" by John Lakos. published by Addison-Wesley.
Bottom line is that you should only include the minimum number of #includes that you need. Using a #include that #includes a set of include files is a bad idea. You need to minimimize dependencies so files aren't recompiled unnecessarily.

The practice of having a single header files that includes all header files has been obsolete for about 20 years now. But there are two reasons why people still do it -- 1. some people never learn, and 2. precompiled headers files. The biggest problem with using a header file that includes everything is that if you change one thing in one header file, every file must be recompiled. In the case of precompiled header files, only files that never (or almost never) change should be included.

Hi all,
I am using Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 and MFC dialog mode for implementation. Firstly, if I want to read one line each time from a .txt file in Pocket PC, can I use the following code?
char* data;
data = NULL;
fp=fopen("\\sip.txt","r");
while((!feof(fp)) && (fp != NULL))
{
fscanf(fp, "%s", data);
// Process the data here
}
fclose(fp);
Then, if I want to get the typed message from an edit box in a MFC dialog box and write/ append it into the file each time a line, should I do this?
CString asip;
GetDlgItemText(INPUT_ASIP, asip);
fp=fopen("\\sip.txt","a");
fprintf(fp, "%s\n", asip);
fclose(fp);
But I encounter a problem that the output file “sip” contains only the first character of the CString asip. How can I solve this?
It’s really urgent as I have to hand the program before 26/3/2003 so please kindly help me.
Many thanks!!!

The ICM 2.0 documentation seems to indicate that ICM can work with any valid ICC color profile. These profiles can specify non-sRGB color spaces, such as CMYK and CIE LAB. Does anyone know if it's actually possible to use Windows color management to work in CIE LAB space or CMYK space?
This is relevant because I am really interested in being able to print to my printer's complete color gamut, not only the part that overlaps with sRGB. (The default sRGB color space that windows uses is really lousy at representing saturated yellow, orange, and cyan colors that standard printers can represent very nicely).

I created Edit, Combo, Button, Calendar, Tab, Main Window... but all of them have similar problem: Captions (Window Text) of all Control written by BOLD font >> Weight = 700
>> I want to SET FONT for all control back to NOT BOLD >> Weight = 100 (THIN)
I have a solution: use CreateFont() with para Weight=100 then SelectObject(ControlDC, CreatedFont) then write Caption (Window Text) in to its DC but this way seem too long...
Can you have a short way ?
Help me please....
thanks alot
I use non-MFC programming

If you're not using MFC, there may not be another solution. Are you using C++ ( as opposed to C ) ? If so, you should encapsulate the behaviour of setting a font into a class and use that class to create edit box instances.

hi
i'm just a newb to vc++ and the articles on this site were kind very unclear. i created a dialog app with the mfc appwizard. created a button on the dialog to open the modeless window.
an example of the code.
void CMyAppDlg::OnHitMe()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
// Display the modal dialog box
pdlg = new CNoteDlg;
pdlg->Create(IDD_NOTEDLG,this);
}
i have the private:
CNoteDlg * pdlg;
in my myappdlg.h
and my dialog resource is named IDD_NOTEDLG
and myappdlg.h #include's notedlg.h i've been fiddling with this for a while and its really confusing. if anyone can give some assistance it is appreciated

You need to also make the dialog visible (this is not automatic for modeless dialogs). Either set the Visible style in the resource editor, or add this after the Create() call
pdlg->ShowWindow ( SW_SHOW );

adding that gives me this error when i build & run:
Debug Assertion Failed!
Prgram :...\yadayadayada\myapp.exe
File: winocc.cpp
Line: 301

Instead of pdlg->Create(IDD_NOTEDLG,this);
try
pdlg->Create(CNoteDlg::IDD);
And check if (pdlg != NULL).

well the code now looks like this and i still get that assert debug error and the window still doesnt show:
void CMyAppDlg::OnHitMe()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
// Display the modal dialog box
pdlg = new CNoteDlg(this);
if (pdlg != NULL){
pdlg->Create(CNoteDlg::IDD);
pdlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}
else
{
AfxMessageBox("Error");
}
}
however just recently i decided to try debugging, and i was looking through and i get an error of "this CXX0017:Error: symbol "this" not found
i appreciate your help

I'm sorry I don't know what's wrong with the code. That's an excerpt from the code from one of my apps:
playerDlg = new CPlayersDlg(this);
playerDlg->Create(CPlayersDlg::IDD);
if(playerDlg != NULL)
playerDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Hi
Does anybody knows how can I remove the close, maximize and minimize buttons from a dialogduring runtime?
(I use the doc/view configuration in my project)
|
|
|
|
|
Use ModifyStyle()!

You can use SetWindowLong.
SetWindowLong(this->m_hWnd,GWL_STYLE,
GetWindowLong(this->m_hWnd,GWL_STYLE) |
WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX);
That code would add the minimize and maximize box.

Hi there,
I am searching a program which shows which files are used by my program. I know dependencytracker but it is a bit complicated for me. So is there a simple prog to find out? I am searching this to run my app in another machine...
Thanx for reading...
