Hello just respond to this and I'll send an E-mail to you with the source code attachment, yes this is done in visual c++ 6. Tic tac toe thing. Would need suggestions if any and help.  would be forever in dept.

Does anyone know what kind of number generators are out there and what is your opinion on which is the best one, C++ console, not mfc or visual c++ 6. Thx.

It depends on how "random" you need your random numbers to be. The standard (ANSI C) rand() function should be random enough for most general-purpose applications, but on some platforms be aware that the lower-order bits may be much less random than the higher-order bits. AFAIK, most implementations of rand() use the "linear congruential formula":
http://www.taygeta.com/rwalks/node1.html[^]
Another random number generation algorithm is the Mersenne Twister:
http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~wagnerr/MersenneTwister.html[^]
Of course, the strongest random number generators are ones which use a random natural source rather than an algorithm. Under Linux, the /dev/random device collects entropy in the form of timings between hardware interrupts. The downside to these generators are the fact that you can quickly exhaust the supply of random bits from the source and thus have to wait while the device collects more data. Other potential natural sources of random bits are measurements of radioactive decay and even lava lamps (as implemented by a team at SGI, using the image data from a webcam pointed at the lamps). 
For much more in-depth information about random number generation, see: "Numerical Recipes in C: The Art of Scientific Computing", particularly chapter 7 ("Random Numbers"). The authors go through a number of random number generation algorithms with varying randomness.

On Windows, use CryptGenRandom. This uses the process ID, thread ID, milliseconds since boot, current local time, the high-precision performance counters accessed by QueryPerformanceCounter, a hash of the environment block, some of the processor's internal counter registers, and various of the system's running counters (things like bytes transferred per second, context switches per second).

I want to create a slider control by command. I have done following but it doesn't appears in the dialog
<br />
CSliderCtrl m_createslider;<br />
const RECT rc = {20,200,500,60};<br />
m_createslider.Create (WS_TABSTOP|WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|TBS_AUTOTICKS |TBS_TOOLTIPS|TBS_RIGHT|TBS_BOTTOM , <br />
rc, this, IDC_MYSLIDER);<br />
m_createslider.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);<br />
Please tell me why.

Where did you put this code?
If you put it in OnInitDialog(), the slider will be destroyed when you exit this function because m_createslider goes out of scope. Declare m_createslider as a member of your dialog class.

I have declared folowing
<br />
class CexplDlg : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
CexplDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL);
<br />
enum { IDD = IDD_EXPL_DIALOG };<br />
<br />
protected:<br />
virtual void DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX);
<br />
<br />
protected:<br />
HICON m_hIcon;<br />
<br />
virtual BOOL OnInitDialog();<br />
afx_msg void OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam);<br />
afx_msg void OnPaint();<br />
afx_msg HCURSOR OnQueryDragIcon();<br />
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()<br />
public:<br />
CSliderCtrl m_createslider; <br />

Hi,
This might sound a bit silly as this is not supposed to be a question in the VC++ forum. Nevertheless, I hope I can get an answer from somebody
How to find whether a file already exists in a folder?
Regards and thanks in advance
Deepak Samuel
|
|
|
|
|
WIN32_FIND_DATA wsd;
HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile(pszFileName, &wsd);
if(hFind != NULL)
{
//the file does exist
}else{
MessageBox(NULL, "Error", "The specified file does not exist.",MB_OK);
}
FindClose(hFind);
|

Open up "My Computer" and double-click the folders to the right directory...
I take it you're asking about file existance from an fstream point of view. If you're looking if "foo.txt" exists you can do something like the following:
ifstream fin( "foo.txt" );
if ( fin )
{
}
else
{
}
You could also use the ios flags ios::nocreate and ios::noreplace with an ofstream object:
ofstream fout( "foo.txt" ios::noreplace )
if ( fout )
{
}
else
{
}
||
ofstream fout( "foo.txt" ios::nocreate )
if ( fout )
{
}
else
{
}
Hopefully that helped a little.

I'm new to operator overloading so this may come off as a stupid question, but I'll risk it. I'm making a simple BlackJack game and have two ENUMs that I want operators to work on. Here's a little of what I'm working with:
enum SUIT { CLUB, DIAMOND, SPADE, HEART };
void operator++( SUIT &suit )
{
switch( suit )
{
case( CLUB ):
suit = DIAMOND;
break;
case( DIAMOND ):
suit = SPADE;
break;
case( SPADE ):
suit = HEART;
break;
case( HEART ):
suit = CLUB;
break;
default:
;
}
}
The '--' operator looks nearly identical. I keep getting a compile error C2676: binary '++' : 'SUIT' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator. Where's my problem coming from? Also, any ideas for tricks to overload the '+' & '-' operators without having to make a very long switch?

Your code seems to work fine in VS.NET 2K3:
SUIT f = CLUB;
++f; Are you trying to use the postfix version of operator++? If so, you need to add another function with a dummy int parameter:
SUIT operator++(SUIT &suit,int){
SUIT old = suit;
++suit;
switch( old ) {
case( CLUB ):
return DIAMOND;
break;
case( DIAMOND ):
return SPADE;
break;
case( SPADE ):
return HEART;
break;
case( HEART ):
return CLUB;
break;
default:
return DIAMOND;
}
}

No it was prefix and I'm on 2K3 as well. However your code had a return on it. I understand the purpose of the return here, postfix == fetch value THEN increment, does the prefix need one too?

You can choose to have a return or not on the prefix, but to maintain the standard semantics of prefix increment it really should return a value. So, the declaration for the function changes to:
const SUIT &operator++(SUIT &suit) and just add
return suit; to the end of the function.
For reference, here's the test program I'm using:
enum SUIT { CLUB, DIAMOND, SPADE, HEART };
const SUIT &operator++(SUIT &suit) {
switch( suit ) {
case( CLUB ):
suit = DIAMOND;
break;
case( DIAMOND ):
suit = SPADE;
break;
case( SPADE ):
suit = HEART;
break;
case( HEART ):
suit = CLUB;
break;
default:
;
}
return suit;
}
SUIT operator++(SUIT &suit,int){
SUIT old = suit;
++suit;
return old;
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {
SUIT f = CLUB;
SUIT v = ++f;
return 0;
}Note the fixed postfix increment... I blame insufficient caffeine when I replied earlier

Hi Jeryth
You cannot redefine the meaning of an operator when applied to built-in data types. Your SUIT enum is nothing but an ordinary int. I think that this is your problem...
greets,
Jason

That's what I thought as well, enums get referenced to as ints for boolean and conditional arguments. I'm not sure but I think .NET changed that. When I hadn't overloaded any operator I still got an error saying no operator existed that returned an appropriate type.

I have a dialog based app which is launching a process and then waiting for it to finish. The problem is that if I click on the parent window before the child process window displays then it seems to get the focus and is on top of the child window when it finally does display.
How can I make it so that child window will always be displayed on top of the launching app's window? regardless of mouse clicks or anything else the user might do
(I don't have access to the source code for the child process, so can't make any mods there)

Make your child dialog as modeless and then add the following codes in your child dialog initDialog handler
CRect rect;
GetWindowRect( rect );
::SetWindowPos(
m_hWnd ,
HWND_TOPMOST,
rect.left,
rect.top,
rect.Width(),
rect.Height(),
SWP_SHOWWINDOW
);
It basically set your child windows on top most in the z-order of the windows.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I've been having a problem with CTabCtrls:
I've derived a class from CTabCtrl which will load in the setup of controls from a file and put them on to their respective tabs. The problem comes with tooltips, the controls are created ok, but the controls have no tooltips.
I've called EnableToolTips(TRUE) to enable tooltips (within the new class) and set up a message handler for the TTN_NEEDTEXT message, and the handler fills in the structure ok. If the controls are created on a dialog (without the CTabCtrl) the tooltips work ok, its' only if the controls are in the CTabCtrl that they don't work...
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
