Yes it was said to pass a reference. I mean, to modify a public CStringArray object from a function.

That's a good idea !!

Thanx for everything !!

I am using MFC and have a class named
class CProfiles :: CPropertyPage
I currently have the default constructor , using which I create an Object of this class at Runtime such as :

<br />
CProfiles *ptr = new CProfiles();

Now i needed to modify this to pass a value that I need
CProfiles *ptr = new CProfiles(12);

I tried to make changes to my class

In the .h file

CProfiles();and in the .cpp file

CProfiles::CProfiles(int type=0) : CPropertyPage(CProfiles::IDD)<br />
{<br />
	//{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CProfiles)<br />
	//}}AFX_DATA_INIT<br />
	dataBuffer=0;<br />
	bufferSize=0;<br />
	loaded = false;	<br />
	// Initialize<br />
	Initialize();<br />
}

This isnt compiling . What am I doing wrong here ?

what error does the compiler return ?

another thing a see. you parameter type, you don't use it in you constructor ; i don't think it is what you wanted to do...

I get the following errors
error C2511: 'CProfiles::CProfiles' : overloaded member function 'void (int)' not found in 'CProfiles'

: see declaration of 'CProfiles'
fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

Secondly , the error isnt caused by me not using the variable type ! I am not using it as I am trying to get the Constructor to compile !

Engineering is the effort !

Needed to do this in the .h file
CProfiles(int type=0);

and in the .cpp file
CProfiles::CProfiles(int type) : CPropertyPage(CProfiles::IDD)
{
//{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CProfiles)
//}}AFX_DATA_INIT
dataBuffer=0;
bufferSize=0;
loaded = false;
profileType = type ;

// Initialize
Initialize();
}

This time I am using the variable "type" !!!! D'Oh! | :doh:

isn't there a void trailing few lines before you start the implementation of CProfiles::CProfiles(int); ?

do you also correctly include your header in the cpp ?

are you then sure that you inserted in the .h the synopis CProfiles(int); into the classe definition ?

to finish, i know that the type parameter is not at the origin of the error, i was just astonished to see you don't use it while you just said you overload the construct for that. but nevermind.

does anybody have any code that helps in sound recording from microphone without using directshow/directsound and all those complex things?

also not write to a file but to keep the recorded sound data in memory.

DirectX is a layer provided by Microsoft to access hardware using a standard uniform API, without it, you will have to write each API for each of the hardware installed. Like, when you need to use Creative Sound Card, you will need separate API and so is other sound card. You will need a lot of version of your program to get it compatible.

Anthony - That's not entirely correct. Another option is to use the Windows MME API - for example the WaveIn* functions will do the trick too, and you won't really care about the hardware.

Shoonya - start with the WaveInOpen function and go from there. I don't really know what you are looking for, but this is a viable alternative to DirectX. You might find, though, that this is has different 'complex things', and DirectX might still be the way to go. The choice is yours.

Get the path of a file

Hi and thanks in advance:

I am trying to create an application that first offers the user to open a file. I am using the function GETOPENFILE, then I my purpose is to check in the same folder, if there is another file (no user interaction there). For that, I was using the variable ofn (OPENFILENAME type) from the previous task, so it should have the information of the path and file name.

I tried, but had troubles to do that.

Here is a part of the code:

<br />
<br />
void CMainFrame::OnButton32794() <br />
{<br />
// TODO: Add your command handler code here<br />
<br />
//The user opens the firs file:<br />
OPENFILENAME ofn;<br />
memset(&ofn, 0, sizeof(ofn));<br />
ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);<br />
ofn.lpstrFilter = "Tec Files (*.tec)\0*.tec\0All Files (*.*)\0*.*\0\0";<br />
int nResult = ::GetOpenFileName(&ofn);<br />
<br />
//Now check for the second:<br />
CString str;<br />
LPCTSTR azcv;<br />
TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];<br />
LPCTSTR lpszFileName;<br />
LPTSTR lpszFilePart;    <br />
WCHAR wszTemp[MAX_PATH];<br />
<br />
lpszFileName = ofn.lpstrFile;<br />
<br />
//That should return the path the user selected..<br />
str = GetFullPathName(lpszFileName, <br />
                       sizeof(szPath) / sizeof(TCHAR), <br />
					   szPath, &lpszFilePart);<br />
<br />
//This is just a check I wanted to put in.<br />
MessageBox(str);<br />
}<br />
<br />

Why call GetFullPathName() at all? If you are interested in the filename that was selected, just reference ofn.lpstrFile.

ok, I just want to check if in the same folder, the one that the user select by selecting the file there is another specific file... without the interaction of the user. that's all.

Thaks, Ruben.

Use _splitpath() to split ofn.lpstrFile into its individual components. Then merge the components back together using " another specific file" instead of the file that was selected via GetOpenFileName().

I presume you are referring to _splitpath(). If so, the MSDN docs have a good example.

How would you merge the other file with the path?

Thanks, Ruben.

Use a CString object and its concatenation operator. Smething like:

CString str = drive + dir + file_you_want_to_check;

MS documentation states: "The GetFullPathName function retrieves the full path and file name of a specified file". So you still have the file name there.

I'd use PathRemoveFileSpec this "Removes the trailing file name and backslash from a path, if it has them."

Info on PathRemoveFileSpec:

Minimum DLL Version shlwapi.dll version 4.71 or later
Header shlwapi.h
Import library shlwapi.lib
Minimum operating systems Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Explorer 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0

Thanks, I am able to use that function ..

I call it with the ofn.lpstrFile (path and file name).

Then I should have the ofn.lpstrFile ready to merge with the other file name ... how can I do this?

Thanks, Ruben.

If you've got the Windows SDK then you'll find details about the Shell Lightweight Utility Path Funtions in the documentation under:

User Interface Services > Windows Shell > Shell Reference > Shell Lightweight Utility Funtions > Path Functions.

(If you've not got the SDK then I recommend you get it. It's a free download from msdn)

There are lots of useful routines for manipulating paths. The one you need to merge the path with the name of the 2nd file is PathAppend.

Hi.

How could I convert an hecadecimal value that is in a CString variable to integer hexadecimal
for example I have:

CString strHexa="C9"

but I need this value in an integer variable:

int n=0xc9;

Thank you.
