On line 0. If the for loop is start at line 1, it won't crash.

I haven't tried, but...

nLineCount = m_redit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0; i < nLineCount - 1; i++)
{
nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(i);
m_redit.GetLine(i, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength));
TRACE (strText);
strText.ReleaseBuffer(nLineLength);
}

Do this works?

I tried the following code with display line 0 only when nLineCount > 1. THe code still crash.

if (nLineCount > 1)
{
nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(0);
m_redit.GetLine(0, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength));
TRACE (strText);
strText.ReleaseBuffer(nLineLength);
}

The function LineLength will return the ONLY the number of characters for the given line not including the carriage-return character. According MSDN the function LineLength actually calls the message EM_LINELENGTH and in the MSDN this message states that It does not include the carriage-return character at the end of the line. Also you should account for the NULL character at the end of the string when assigning the length of the buffer.

This code works for me:

<code>	
int i, nLineLength, nLineCount;
CString strText;

nLineCount = m_redit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0;i < nLineCount ;i++)
{
     nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(i); 
     //Add 2 to account for the CR and NULL character.
     int nActualCharactersReturned = m_redit.GetLine(i, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength + 2)); 
     //Release the buffer with the actual # characters returned.
     strText.ReleaseBuffer(nActualCharactersReturned);
     TRACE (strText);
} 
</code>

How do you "auto-scale" data points on a graph?
the data will be received at a constant frequency.

I will be receiving data from a CAN/bluetooth gateway on a vehicle.

How do I go about graphing and receiving those data points and putting them on both a line and bar graph?

Thanks.

This is a very generic question, but I'll give it a try:

1. Separate the data from the viewing of the same data...
2. use dynamic memory assignment if you don't know the amount of data that you'll need.
3. think about how many history do you need to maintain.
4. create a control derived from a CStatic called CGraph.
5. Override the OnPaint function of that control in order to draw the axis, the captions and the labels.
6. Draw each point depending on a scale factor.
7. if the graph needs to be scrolled, think about a scrolling bar... (think about drawing the part needed ni order to avoid to collapse too much the CPU)

Hope this helps...

Allocating memory for a multidimensionnal array

Jerome Conus1-Jul-03 1:54

1-Jul-03 1:54

Hi !

I have a very basic question about C++ :

I want to allocate on the heap a two-dimensionnal array. I tried to do this :

int* pArray=new int[x][y];

but of course it didn't work, so I did that :

int* pArray=new int[x*y];

and each time I need to acces my array, I calculate the x/y position. It works, but still, I'm curious : is it possible to allocate memory in such a way that I can then use the usual notation for a multidimensionnal array : Array[x][y]=z.

Thank you for your help !
Jerome

int **pArray = new int*[x];
for(int i=0; i<x; i++)
   pArray[x] = new int[y];

This will let you use pArray[x][y] = z. To deallocate this array, do this:

for(int i=0; i<x; i++)
   delete [] pArray[x];
delete [] pArray;

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Documents       docs;
_Document       doc;
COleVariant     vtOptional((long) DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR),

                vtTrue((short) TRUE),
                vtDoc((short) 0),
                vtText((short) 2),
                vtRtf((short) 6),
                vtHtml((short) 8);


if (app.CreateDispatch("Word.Application") == TRUE)
{
    docs = app.GetDocuments();

    m_ebDocName.GetWindowText(strFileName);

    doc = docs.Open(COleVariant(strFileName), vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional);

    strFileName.Replace(".doc", ".txt");

    doc.SaveAs(COleVariant(strFileName),
        vtText,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,
        vtOptional,

    docs.Close(vtFalse, vtOptional, vtOptional);

About PINT

Here is a static PINT varible: temp.
I want to store the value "12" to *temp, and my program coded like below

static PINT temp;
* temp=12;

I can succeed in compiling it, but there is an error when running it:
The instruction at "0x00406a3a" referenced memory at"0x00000000". The memory could not be "written".

What is the problem? How can solve it?

Thank you in advance!

Obviously temp doesn't point to anything. You need to point it to an integer before attempting to dereference it.

I see, after seeing your explanation
Can I ask another question?

First I completet the below sentences:
PINT temp;
temp=new int;

Then I have a PVOID varible temp2,which is to be applied like
temp=(PINT)temp2;

Is it right after twice times of putting the pointer?
Thank you!

wchar_t* wcStartTime = new wchar_t[MAX_SIZE_STRING_TIME];
wcsftime(wcStartTime,MAX_SIZE_STRING_TIME,L"%H:%M:%S",&stStart);

}

i get a compilation error regarding last parameter should be of 'tm' struct.how do i convert from SYSTEMTIME to tm?

thanks again

you might also do it that way:

<br />
wchar_t* wcStartTime = new wchar_t[MAX_SIZE_STRING_TIME];<br />
swprintf(wcStartTime, "%i:%i:%i", stStart.wHour, stStart.wMinute, stStart.wSecond);<br />
