You cannot get this information from the pointer itself; the SDK should provide a way to get the size of the buffer or at least a way for you to calculate it yourself.

When you use sizeof() on a pointer type, the result is the size of the pointer itself -- 4 bytes.

My console app consists of several classes of objects that interact with each other based on user input and predefined conditions.
Say I have classes: house, street, building, car, and world. I only need one instance of the class world, we'll call it myworld, and I need each object to be able to access functions and attributes of myworld. World is already declared as a class in world.h and it is implemented in world.cpp. When I try to create myworld in my globals header file, all of the objects dont recognize it as a type. If I create myworld just before the main function, everything works, I get no errors, until I try to access it from other objects. For example, on creation of a building object, I want to be able to modify the myworld objects count of buildings in the world.
Some people have suggested simply making all of my classes subclasses in the class world, I really dont want to do that for sake of organization. My class definitions are long.
What is the best way to go about this? I just want one instance of a class thats available globally.

The 'proper, modern way' would be to use a singleton[^]. But you should probably start off using a global static class. Declare an instance of your class as static at the bottom of its header file.

I declared a global static class, and it was indeed available to all objects. Thank you for the advice. Eventually I'll do the singleton method. The only problem now is, for some reason, objects are incapable of modifying public attributes or calling public methods of the global class.
Lets go back to my example. Before I had the global class, when constructing a "building" object, I had to pass it the myworld object constructor. The constructor would initialize certain variables, and call some initializing member functions. It would also call a member function of the myworld object, that would essentially(on the myworld object side) just increment the building count attribute of the world class. Before and after building object construction, I cout'ed myworld object's building count. It didnt change.
Now, with the static global object myworld, the results are the same. Myworld just refuses to change. Building has been made a friend class to the world class. In fact, nothing is private in the world class.
Just to check my coding, I called world class member functions and modified building counts directly from the main function, and it worked. It just doesnt seem to want to be modified by another object.
Any ideas?

Nor would you want to since nothing else (i.e., house, street, building, car) is a type of world.
One solution would be to mimic the way MFC does it. When you create a project, you have a CWinApp-derived class (e.g., CMyApp). Nothing else in the project is derived from CMyApp, yet you have access to CMyApp via functions like AfxGetApp(). Make sense?

Hi,
I have created my own splitter window control, I then added all of the functionality from an article on CodeProject which enables me to show/hide columns and rows. However some of the assertion errors seem to be causing me problems.
Would you be able to see what the problem could be?

Hint: way too much code here. Trim it down to something more manageable and ask a specific question. You'll get tons more help that way.

Hi
I am trying to print bmp/jpeg image from an mfc application, but the image size is very small.
Can someone tell me how to get the original size while printing?
Here is my code.
Thankyou.
BOOL CView::OnPreparePrinting ( CPrintInfo *info )
{
info -> SetMaxPage ( 1 ) ;
return DoPreparePrinting ( info ) ;
}
void CView::OnPrepareDC ( CDC *pDC, CPrintInfo* info )
{
CView::OnPrepareDC ( pDC, info ) ;
if ( pDC -> IsPrinting( ) )
int n = info -> m_nCurPage ;
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_ANISOTROPIC);
pDC->SetWindowExt(10000,10000);
pDC->SetViewportExt(18000,18000);
pDC->SetViewportOrg(500,1000);
}
}

The document should have information on the bitmap, since it had to load it from a file, or create it outright.

After creating a printer DC in your printing function calculate desired destination rectangle taking into account a size of paper:
CSize paper_res;
paper_res.cx = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(HORZRES);
paper_res.cy = dcPrinter.GetDeviceCaps(VERTRES);
Try to set dcPrinter's map mode as MM_TEXT and to use dcPrinter.StrechBlt(...)

hello everybody,
I want to store strings in the format of lines in an edit box or an rich edit box.
I had done by using CString variable but it doesn't taking the '\n' escape sequence which displays the next part of the string in a new line.
any solutions,
please help.
Thanking you

You need to use \r\n instead of \n

In addition to niall's response, you also need to make szure the control has the ES_MULTILINE style.

Hi all,
Im having real trouble trying to get consistent output in print preview. I am drawing a page of text and by varrying the zoom state, the text height differs by a few pixels for any given line. I know why this is occuring because the CPreviewDC->MirrorFont() function does some odd things with the fonts in order to display them. I havent got a clue how to get around this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy.

The Mac cross compiler version of VC++ is long gone, so you won't be able to use VC++ for the Mac version. Have a look at wxWindows.

I have installed Visual Studio .NET on my PC and now I want to install it on my new one instead. Unfortunately, my disks are in the server room on another site and I can not get to them. Can anyone tell me how to get the license key from Visual Studio? My disks are available on a server which I can connect to of course, but I can not get to the physical disks which have the key!

I believe that you can get the key from the Help->About menu from the first installation.

I looked at that, but there are not enough numbers - and they are in the wrong format:
20 numbers:
nnnnn-nnn-nnnnnnn-nnnnn
I believe it should be in this format:
25 numbers/letters
nnnnn-nnnnn-nnnnn-nnnnn-nnnnn

I found out that a bitmap containing alpha channel can be specified to a layered window in order to obtain a special defined map alpha, not just a general level of transparence.
This is done by using the UpdateLayeredWindow function.
This is all fine, but I still have some problems:
Since I provide the look for the window throught my bitmap, the window will look just like that! This means that any controls that I have on my frame are not drawed anymore. I also can't use this stuf for children controls (windows).
One solution I think of, is to draw all the children myself over the bitmap I use to set the window look. But what can I do with other controls that I don't want to draw myself (think of an Internet browser control - I can't draw that). Maybe is a way to force windows to draw on a specified hdc ?
If anyone can help, cause I really think it's a great feathure that I can't fully use !
