There is no InputBox equivalent in VC++

Hmm. I'm surprised.

Thanks for the response.

I don't mind creating my own, I just figured there
would be a standard dialog (common dialog)
for it.

BTW, I'm a fan of Goran myself. I was quite excited
when he won his slam this year.

Cool!
Then you'd be glad to know that he is doing well in the season ending Master's Cup

Yesterday he beat Gustavo Kuerten 6-2,6-7,6-4 [28 aces]

In the third set, 6th game, he was love-40 down and hit 5 aces to take the game Smile | :)

Typical Goran stuff!!!

Templates and Unresolved Externals

Hey, that's just what I was looking for. I hunted

Thanks.

I'm trying to implement a class not unlike CList, XList. I'm using a template

template <class T> class XList

and when I compile I get unresolved externals errors for my constructor and deconstructor. I originally got this error for all my functions but I fixed it by adding 'virtual' to the front of the declaration. This doesn't seem to work with the aforemention functions. I'm declaring them thus:

XList();
virtual ~XList();

template <class T>
XList<T>::XList() {
// Constructor Code
}

template <class Tglt;
XList<T>::~XList() {
// Deconstructor code
}

Any help would be appreciated

Did you put the function definitions into the same file where your template class is declared (e.g. into the header file and not the .cpp file)?
The compiler requires the functions definitions to be in the same translation unit than the class declaration.

Did you mean that it's not possible to declare the class in a h file and the implementation in a cpp file?
I have the same trouble as I convert my list which use void* to use template. But I don't move the code from cpp to h and when I link the library, it's ok. But when I link the application , I get link error.

Does it exist another way to move the implementation from cpp to h for solving this kind of problem?

When you use your template class in more than one source file you should put the class declaration and the function definition in the same header file. Most template libraries like STL, ATL, WTL ship without cpp files.

take a look at jon sagara's triple-post below. rcopy.cpp and server.cpp should get you started. He's written them for unix but the basic principles are essentially the same

Sockets problem

Hi guys,

I'm in a bit of a bind (haha, I made a funny). I'm writing a small file copying application for a class. We're trying to emulate the datalink layer on Unix by implementing a stop-and-wait protocol using UDP datagrams.

I have two separate programs:
rcopy is the client. It requests a file from the server. If the file does not exist, rcopy exits gracefully.

server is the server (naturally). It accepts requests from clients who want to copy a file. If the file does not exist on the server, then the server sends a flag back to rcopy basically saying "File does not exist."

I can get the datagrams to work one way: I can get the file name from the command line in rcopy and successfully send that to server. server can then attempt to open the file, and based on the outcome, can prepare a flag to send back to rcopy.

*** Here's the problem ***
When I call recvfrom(...) on the server to get the file name from rcopy, the sockaddr_in parameter is not getting sent. Therefore, I can't send the file ACK back to rcopy, and rcopy blocks indefinitely. Eek! | :eek:

Anyhow, I have been trying to get this for *several* hours now, and I'm no further along than when I started. I hope one of you networking gurus will be able to help me out here.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Note - I will post my code below because I'm not sure of the max size of these messages.

Thanks again,

Jon Sagara

I figured out the problem. From the recvfrom() man page:

ssize_t recvfrom(int s, void *buf, size_t len, int flags, struct sockaddr *from, socklent_t *fromlen);<br />

"... fromlen is a value-result parameter, initialized to the size of the buffer associated with from, and modified on return to indicate the actual size of the address stored there."

Before I called recvfrom(), I wasn't initializing a variable with the size of (struct sockaddr_in).

AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! Mad | :mad:

Oh well. At least it works now. Smile | :)

Like you said in the next thread up, the concepts are largely the same. I was stuck on the same lamo bug for a few hours and I was getting desperate, so I thought I'd give it a go here in the CP forums. Seems like every time I post a question here, I end up answering it myself 20 minutes later. Maybe I should post first and think later. Smile | :)
