Sorry, it doesn't really help, I know how to use a constant data in a program, but I have some confussion when using in the definition of functions
Thanks!

So doesn't it make more sense to continue that thread rather than creating a new one of the same topic?
In any case, MSDN has this to say about const:
When modifying a data declaration, the const keyword specifies that the object or variable is not modifiable. When following a member function's parameter list, the const keyword specifies that the function doesn't modify the object for which it is invoked.
With C++, const is often used in place of the #define preprocessor directive. Values defined with const are subject to type checking, and can be used in place of constant expressions.
When const is used with pointers, it specifies that the pointer cannot be modified after initialization; the pointer is protected from modification thereafter.
So, const char *cpch means that the object pointed to by the pointer is const. And, char *const pchc means that the value of the pointer — the actual address stored in the pointer — is const.

const char* means "pointer to a constant char" - you cannot change the value of the char that is pointed to, but you can change the pointer to point at some other char.
char* const means "constant pointer to a char" - you can change the value of the char pointed to, but you cannot change the pointer to point a some other char.
And const char* const means a combination of the two. 
Example code:
char c = 'c';
char d = 'd';
const char* p1 = &c;
char* const p2 = &c;
*p1 = 'x';
p1 = &d;
*p2 = 'z';
p2 = &d;

I've used the sample code from the posting about 'using alxBase classes with dbf files' and I can't get the table to be recognized by foxpro. does anyone have any knowledge of how to use an api to create a foxpro (or dbase) table through code and specify the correct header info. Following is what I wrote to the author of the code, but just in case, I'm looking for some help as quickly as possible.
this is my fault. I don't understand how to modify the header info correctly to specify the table type correctly (along with the other fields). I create a table, and using the sample viewer demo that came with this project, I can see the data in the table, even though a couple of the column header names are messed up. But when I try to open up the table in VFP I get a message telling me to specify the code page it was created in. I tried to modify the header info, but I can't seem to get this to work right. Can you please help?
If it's broken, I probably did it

I'm silly guy , I've just changed the system language and it works.
In that way, all the controls can show text in russian.
.... I'm furious!.

Is it possible to have a class instantiate a second class in it's constructor by passing a "this" pointer to the second class? And then have the second class hold and use the pointer to the first class? I believe this is causing a circular dependency and I don't know how to get around it. In other words, class A includes a header file for class B. Class A then instantiates a new class B in its constructor like this: B* classB = new B(this). Class B then needs to include the header file for class A so that it can hold a pointer to it and call functions on it via this pointer. I've tried using forward declarations, but I get an error saying that class so-and-so is undefined. Is there any way to do this or do I need to rethink my code?

yes.

no, never include B in A ...
do something like :
class B;
class A
{
A( B* pPointerToClassB );
B* m_pPointerToClassB;
}
#include "b.h"
A::A( B* pPointerToClassB ) : m_pPointerToClassB( pPointerToClassB )
{
}

Thanks for the quick response. I'm a bit confused though. You said never to include B in A, but in the second code example you are doing just that, no? Also, let me clarify, I want A to create a class B, and then for B to be able to hold a pointer back to A. So in the end, they should both be able to call functions on each other.

You dont need to include B in A, just declared B as being a class in order to let A to hold a pointer member of type B
#include b sould be replaced by #include a

yes, but I don't include it in the header file of class A.
to continue with your clarifications ...
class B;
class A
{
A();
B* m_pB;
}
#include "b.h"
A::A( )
{
m_pB = new B( this );
}
class A;
class B
{
B( A* pA );
A* m_pA;
};
#include "a.h"
B::B( A* pA ) : m_pA( pA )
{
}

Ah ha! That did the trick. Thanks so much! I've been trying to get this to work for hours now. So the trick is to use a forward declaration in the header and then include the other header in the implementation. Not quite sure what the difference is there, but I sure am happy it works. Thanks again, you just cleared up a big headache for me

I'm pretty sure that using this in a constructor is asking for trouble (in the same way it's asking for trouble to use virtual functions belonging to the class in it's constructor).
What happens when class B chucks your (A) this pointer to some other object that already exists, and then the A::A() constructor throws an exception? Your A object doesn't exist, but you have a pointer to where it's partially constructed remains might be, which you'll almost certainly try to use

Hi everybody.
I am written an application that support text in russian. How can I make the edit box shows text in russian when the user write in that language?.
I want unicode support for every control, but I don't know how to do that.
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
Demian.

switch to Unicode in your project settings.
there are APIs for both ansi and unicode, and e.g. SetWindowText is defined as SetWindowTextA with ansi and SetWindowTextW with unicode!
Don't try it, just do it! 
|
|
|
|
|
in the projectsettings->C/C++ tab add _UNICODE,UNICODE to other defines.

i have to show a dynamic graph layout, and it must be interactive and rearranged everytime an user insert or delete a determinate node... The application may be similar to Touchgraph (www.touchgraph.com) or kaon (http://kaon.semanticweb.org/demos). The problem is that i must create the application with some C++ library instead that java. Do you some idea? Do you know some library, some examples or some free C++ sourcecode witche may help me???
Sorry for my english, Bye, thanks!

for your requirement GDI/GDI+ will suffice. checkout how to draw line, circles etc for your graph requirement.

Hi, I have a set of radio box in my a group box.
I could not set any of the radio buttons.
the member variable is of type int.
I try to set it using m_membervariable = 0 and so on.
Thanks,
Deepak Samuel.

Have you called UpdateData() for your changes to be reflected
on your dialog/sheet?
Also make sure that your radio buttons are tab sequential.

Forget about using UpdateData(). Assign each of the radio button controls to a CButton member variable. Then just call SetCheck() accordingly. If you want to operate on a group of radio buttons, just use CWnd::CheckRadioButton().

I want to know how does a project work. I mean I want to know the relationships between the files. How do the files include each other? And what are .obj files?

I suppose the top-level file in a project is the .dsp file. This text file is similar to the older .mak files, in that it lists what source files belong to the project and how to compile them.
While it's hardly a requirement, most .c and .cpp files have a coresponding .h (or .hpp) file. Any piece of code that wishes to use something located in another .c or .cpp file must #include the coresponding .h (or .hpp) file. At the very least, a forward declaration is required.

The #include preprocessor directive.
Anonymous wrote:

They are what the compiler creates from the source files. The .obj files are then "fed" to the linker.

oh no,
project file is no a makefile !! the joke is that the makefile are temporary created files at compile time... if you want to see what is in it, do (under Visual C++ 6) : Project/Export makefile... then follow the Dialog box...

Nowhere did I say that a project file was a makefile. I said the former was like the latter, in that it contained the files comprising the project and how to build them. It was not implied that one could use cl.exe with a .mak file. However, you can use msdev.exe with a .dsp (or .dsw) file.
