I want to be able to display properties for file or folder, as we do when right-clicking over file or folder, I have to display this shell dialog (shell dialog I Guess), but my search in msdn and here at CP does not give any results. Does anyone know how to do that or have information link?

Thanks in Advance!

Try ShellExecute with the verb "Properties"

Following is the code snippet i am working with.
miNumDataFile denotes number of datafiles
msarrDataFile[iloop] denotes the file path and name.

I am opening around 3000 fines in binary mode and
reading all the records in each file using fread. total file size
around 187mb with 1366218 rows.
its a simple c exe.

on the first run it takes 48 secs.
on the seond run it takes 2 secs!!!!!!!!!.

my question is why is happening. each time i reboot my pc
the same phenomenon happens. WHY??????

for(int iloop=0;iloop

The OS does a caching for you
does it bother you?

Thanks Papa for your reply.
I was not sure what was happening.
Now even if the OS is doing the caching part, I have 2 questions.
Will this happen in every OS. and further more some times it takes 1-2 secs to read files (total size 200 MB). that whats bothers me. 1/2 secs is really low, for reading and processing 200MB file wont you think!!
Anyway i am planing it run this component on a web sever. and a page will call this to show the results of this component.
thats why i am so worried about this thing..

Thanks a lot anyway...

Clicking in Edit Box Creates Error..

hi,
i created a simple editbox derived from CEdit class. its working , but clicking in the edit box sets out the devil.
The program shuts down after showing the message 'Debug Assertion Failed " Abort-Retry-Ignore.
Another problem is that i can't type characters more than the length of the editbox.
I wrote a message to handle the keypress event, using ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_ED,OnEditKeyDown). but am not getting the 'enter' key.
the edit box is deleted in the killfocus event..
CAN ANYBODY HELP PLEASE ?

thanks in advance..
---------------- here goes the code-----------

-----edit box creation on pressing F4 key-----
case VK_F4:
{
CMainFrame* pMainWnd = (CMainFrame*) AfxGetMainWnd();
pEdit = new CEdit;

pEdit->Create(ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_WANTRETURN | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |WS_TABSTOP | WS_BORDER, CRect(0,col+(m_nCurSel*2),75,col+(m_nCurSel*2)+17), this,
IDC_ED);

pEdit->SetLimitText(50);
pEdit->SetFocus();
}
------ function that receives keypress---
void CMarketWatchView::OnEditKeyDown(UINT nChar)
{
static const MSG* pMsg = GetCurrentMessage();
if(pMsg->wParam==0x0D) //checkfor enter key
{
AfxMessageBox("Enter key");
- other code here-
}
pEdit->SetFocus();
}
---------lost focus function for the edit box ----
void CMarketWatchView::OnEditKillFocus()
{
char buf[50];
pEdit->GetWindowText(buf,49);

--other code here--
Invalidate(FALSE); //redraw
delete pEdit;
}

Why are you killing the edit in the OnEditKillFocus?

I'd guess that they want to implement 'in-place' editing of text in a view, and clicking somewhere else is intended to complete/cancel the edit, collapsing the box.
Of course, that's only based on a glimpse of the code fragment, so I could be completely wrong Smile | :)

iostream.h/fstream.h???

Why is iostream.h & fstream.h missing from VC++.NET include folders.
If I copy the same files from VC6.0 then I get errors in those files.
What can I do, where can I get those header files and if not what headers can I use instead of fstream.h

We have a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician!

"iostream.h" and "fstream.h" are not part of C++. Look at "iostream" and "fstream" and then the 'std::' scope.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

void SomeFuncToReadFile ( const char * sFile )
{
   std::ifstream in ( s ) ;
   if ( !in )
   {
      std::cerr << "Couldn't open input file : " << s << std::endl ;
      return ;
   }
   in.unsetf(std::ios::skipws) ;

   // do whatever with the file
}

Cleanest way to convert a two character string like "4D" to it's hex-equivalent-number ?

ohadp21-Apr-04 23:57

I currently do:

_stscanf(string, L"%x", &number);

it doesn't seem like any of the atoi/l functions can handle hexa-decimal input,

any suggestions for something cleaner, or is as clean as it gets ? Smile | :)

do this :

<font style="color:blue;">char</font> str[2];            <font style="color:green;">// stored with your two characters</font>
<font style="color:blue;">unsigned char</font> ucConvertedNumber,
              MSB,              <font style="color:green;">// most significant bits</font>
              LSB;              <font style="color:green;">// less significant bits</font>

LSB = ((str[1] >= <font style="color:purple;">'0'</font>) && (str[1] <= <font style="color:purple;">'9'</font>)) ? str[1] - <font style="color:purple;">'0' </font>:
      ((str[1] >= <font style="color:purple;">'a'</font>) && (str[1] <= <font style="color:purple;">'f'</font>)) ? str[1] - <font style="color:purple;">'a' </font>+ 10 :
      ((str[1] >= <font style="color:purple;">'A'</font>) && (str[1] <= <font style="color:purple;">'F'</font>)) ? str[1] - <font style="color:purple;">'A' </font>+ 10 : -1; <font style="color:green;">// this happens only if your string is not a correct hexa representation</font>
<font style="color:green;">// do some error checking here...</font>
 
MSB = ((str[0] >= <font style="color:purple;">'0'</font>) && (str[0] <= <font style="color:purple;">'9'</font>)) ? str[0] - <font style="color:purple;">'0' </font>:
      ((str[0] >= <font style="color:purple;">'a'</font>) && (str[0] <= <font style="color:purple;">'f'</font>)) ? str[0] - <font style="color:purple;">'a' </font>+ 10 :
      ((str[0] >= <font style="color:purple;">'A'</font>) && (str[0] <= <font style="color:purple;">'F'</font>)) ? str[0] - <font style="color:purple;">'A' </font>+ 10 : -1; <font style="color:green;">// this happens only if your string is not a correct hexa representation</font>
<font style="color:green;">// do some error checking here...</font>
 
MSB = MSB << 4;
 
ucConvertedNumber = MSB | LSB;

you've got it...

you can nox do :

printf(<font style="color:purple;">"Decimal form     :%d\n"
       "Hexadecimal form :%x\n"</font>,
       ucConvertedNumber,
       ucConvertedNumber);
