This is a difficult way. At first I think as you. But after a moment
I think that since this is a frequent convertion, so the Micro Soft
should offer a function to solve the problem.
What is the function? Can you tell me?

A difficult way? 3 lines? 2 lines for preparing the CString and only 1 line to do the conversion? Not that much I would say... Wink | ;)

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

Could you tell me what the codes above can do with?

No, but I haver tried another way, it's very easy. Please look!

strText=m_lstWrite.GetItemText(i,j+1); //Get the CString: strText
sscanf((const char*)(strText),"%x",&temp); //convert,Only a sentence!

Of course, It's very nice to discuss with you.

Well! BUT you use a const char * cast to get the char* from the CString. My solution with GetBuffer/ReleaseBuffer is safer.

If I would do it with a cast like you my solution would be:

strText = m_lstWrite.GetItemText(i,j+1); // Get the CString: strText 
temp = strtoul((const char*)(strText),NULL,16); // Convert

Only one line of conversation code then too! Big Grin | :-D

My god!
It is very good and very easy!
And it's also very regretful for me to say that and not to read MSDN carefullly after you gave me the tip.

Thank you very much!

A frequent conversion?

not for me... it's rare that I want to convert a string into a hex string of individual bytes. If I was writing hex dump programs, it might be.

I should use "not very easy" to replace "difficult".
Sure, it is a good way to solve the problem.
In addition, maybe we will program simply to find the endptr's value, do you think so? ( Poke tongue | ;-P

I am not good at using the function yet, maybe i am wrong again.)
Could you give us an example, please?

Is it possible to create a world inside C++?

I want to know if you could create a real life world inside C++? Because I have had a really crazy idea.. now I know it may seem really stupid but think about the possiblities if you could do it. That is why I am trying to find some people to help me in the creation of a world that you would be able to enter through VR. Yes, if you are asking it is sort of like the matrix. However, you will be able to access it through a VR helmet or something of that nature however, that is beside the point. Firstly, I just want to know if it is possible. So please help me.

a. "Real life" is always (*always*) != "Simulations of RL" and will *always* be no matter how 'sophisticated' they are made.

b. Computers can only (*only*) handle simulations and that's always TRUE to all time.

Therefore what you are asking is impossible.

I suggest that VRML might be a start. You can write your worlds as text files, which gets processed by a VRML engine to create the world that could be viewed through a VR helmet or just on screen.

Elaborate and interactive worlds can be created without using any C++ programming. Scripts can also be run enabling the author to create movement of objects within the world independant of the viewer.

I would suggest doing a search for some VRML worlds on the internet.

In programming terms, the ParallelGraphics VRML Cortona engine has some neat COM interfaces which allows the inclusion of 3D worlds in your own programs and 3d interaction ( see www.parallegraphics.com)

Processing speed is a real problem though. The more real the simulation, the bigger the volume of data to process which takes longer and longer to update. Currently, PCs do not have enough grunt to produce a real real world. Cry | :((

To produce realistic animated faces etc as well all the usual viewer parallelaxes etc will kill most PCs for a long time in the future (but I would like to be wrong). Smile | :)

Using VRML, you can only produce simple dynamic and interactive worlds. Most authors use it model sophisticated shapes rather than whole worlds. If you want something more complicated, I guess that you would have to resort to using the imagination, as we currently do.

You may be better off looking a the game Wolfenstein 3D. This type of approach, where you preconstruct the images at startup may be a better starting point and more practical, given today's processing speeds. I think that if you could pull it off, it would be COOL.

Hi all,

I'm trying to make the child window (in C123 class) pop-up with focus on a Edit text box (m_CName).
Then I write :

//in parent class function
//CString m_SName;
//CEdit m_CName;
C123 abc;
abc.m_SName = "john";
abc.m_CName.SetFocus();
abc.DoModal();

//RESULT
only display the name "john" in the edit box, without set the focus on this field.

What's wrong?

Thx

One solution is to override OnInitDialog() and call SetFocus() on the editbox inside it.
