I just do not need it. You see I wrote this function because I needed to add numbers , for example like this size: "32457345873428957394857394857389245792348578923457934827589345345346456456456456462"
and even bigger. As far as I know in none of the C++ standard types(__int64,double,..) they would not place.

whats wrong man whats that icon. What did not you like in my reply????
I explained you why I could not use int-s in my function.
And to tell you truth I don't understand why I should use int-s , I was just intersted why when using CString objects the result was faster rather then with CString & -s

i am trying to help, so if what i and vikas suggested don't satisfy, ok, it our fault, but if you didn't ever try it, how can you say it is not the point, and why should i help you more on this thread ? (or you badly explained your problem otherwise).

i understood that point. vikas just suggested to try with ints (at least, here is how i understood it) to see if the performance loss was coming from your add() function. maybe you string addition is to be reviewed... of course, ints cannot store such long digited integers.

toxx, I also tried on my side, the point that he's trying to figure out, is why passed 2 strings by reference takes more times than passing string by values to an EMPTY function.
see my other answer ...

I did not say it. I said that using int -s was not my point as I has to add huge numbers.Even if with the ints-s case , happens so that int& - s are faster that will have no sense to me.

You can try using empty Add() function , as Maximillien posted and you'll see that the result is same

indeed, I tried just with an empty Add function, and it take twice as much time calling 1000000 times the function when using references.
( edited : ok I tried again, with a bigger iteration count, this is the code I use ( CProfiler can be found here on CP ).
void CtestCloseView::OnTataToto()
{
CString x = "457235872349857348957238945723894579234896234789563";
CString y = "573489573894573894579234852378456782345683475683746";
CProfiler profiler;
__int64 ptime = 0;
profiler.ProfileStart(LOGNONE);
for ( int i = 0; i < 8000000; i++ )
{
AddMe( x, y );
}
ptime = profiler.ProfileEnd();
double dd = profiler.SecsFromTicks(ptime);
CString s1;
s1.Format( "CtestCloseView::OnTataToto(1) : %5.5f seconds\n", dd );
TRACE( s1 );
profiler.ProfileStart(LOGNONE);
for ( int i = 0; i < 8000000; i++ )
{
AddMe2( x, y );
}
ptime = profiler.ProfileEnd();
dd = profiler.SecsFromTicks(ptime);
s1;
s1.Format( "CtestCloseView::OnTataToto(2) : %5.5f seconds\n", dd );
TRACE( s1 );
}
void CtestCloseView::AddMe( CString s1, CString s2 )
{
}
void CtestCloseView::AddMe2( const CString& s1, const CString& s2 )
{
}
The result are ( with 8000000 iterations ) :
CtestCloseView::OnTataToto(1) : 6.39813 seconds
CtestCloseView::OnTataToto(2) : 1.27944 seconds
and with 20000000 iterations :
CtestCloseView::OnTataToto(1) : 15.96244 seconds
CtestCloseView::OnTataToto(2) : 3.19041 seconds
which shows that I was wrong in my first assesment, and passing by reference will take less time.

Don't you find this strange ????
In every book I've read It is said that using references in some cases reduces some time.
As in functions no copy objects are created(moreover if the objects are big).

Yup , I did the same with my Add() function but incremented the iterations up to 900000
and CString& - s ended in 100 seconds while CString -s in 190

Maybe the extra level of indirection when you are using references overrides the performance cost of passing it by value?

(Back in the old days...)
CString is reference counted object. This means that when you pass the CString to another routine by value, all it does is increment the ref count of the REAL data. This means that you don't allocate a new buffer for the CString.
As already shown, by using empty routines, const & is faster. But when you add back in all the other code, the extra dereference required to access the CString by reference might cost more than the cost of passing the string by value.
(Doh, what the previous post said.) :->

Hi,
I am having some problems with drawing a transparent bitmap into a CStatic derived object. I am drawing inside the OnPaint handler using Graphics ( GDI+ ) object. Since Its a transparent image, the first time when the control is drawn, I am getting the image properly. From next time onwards, when OnPaint in invoked, I am getting a black border for the image, which becomes thicker and thicker as the OnPaint in invoked ( I have to call Invalidate in Mouse over).
Graphic object is attached to a Bitmap object and thats Bitmap object is used to draw to the CDC using DrawImage function. when I saved that Bitmap to a file, the image looks alright. So I guess its the DC of the CStatic control which is crating the problem. Also this CStatic control is placed in CDialog, and whenever, the dialog is minimized and restored, the image will be rendered correctly.
I would appreciate any help on this behaviour.
Looking forward for an answer
Thanks

Does any one know how to remove the menu border or at least create a flat one (without MFC)?
Thank veeeeeeeeeeery much !!!!!!!!

yes, sorry, i didn't see the point. put know this : MFC are just wrappers for Win32 functions (as Roger Allen explains in his introduction to menus[^]). so if you can find back which functions are use, you've got it...
see here[^] for Win32 related functions...

Thank you for your help my friend, but I'am looking for a working sample. this is my fourth day on the subject and I searched all over the Internet but without any result

I am working on MFC SDI Application. I hav attached two dialogs. Both hav one editbox control.
In these text boxes, file names are to be displayed. They can be edited in them as well as browsed using the browse button on the same dialog. Browse button is working.
I also want that, the second dialog, which has the editbox for destination file path , should show the path of the source file, after changing the file extension. how to do it???
Now, the problem is , it es showing "Enter Source File", even if, the source file is already entered.
Thanx for ur valuable time.

How are the dialog boxes displayed? Are they both modeless, or is one modal and the other modeless?

This question leaves a lot to the imagination. What is the "source file" and "file extension" of which you refer?
Explain a bit better as to how these two dialog boxes work in the overall scheme. Do they send information back and forth to each other?

hi!
I read ur reply. following points will clear ur doubts about my application:
Both the dialog boxes are modal.
Then you asked me: What is the "source file" and "file extension" of which you refer?
The extension of source file is .yak. It is an "ini file".
Then the name which has to be displayed in the second edit box will be the same but the extension is changed to ".config".
Then u said: "Explain a bit better as to how these two dialog boxes work in the overall scheme. Do they send information back and forth to each other?"
These dialog boxes don`t send inforation back and forth to each other. But, on clicking OK button in the first dialog box, the second one gets opened, and by default shows the same file name(as was entered in the first one) in the edit box , with the extension changed.
Thanx a lot

Hi,
I have been struggling for some time with a problem experienced by a customer of our product. We have a reporting facility, which allows users to output information to a printer. We have found, on Windows 98, that when a block of text goes over a page, we are losing some text down the gap.
To print the text across pages we are using DrawTextEx, and getting the returned uiLengthDrawn to see how much fitted up to the bottom of a page, so we can continue the text from where we left off. This works perfectly on the screen, and also on NT/XP, but the uiLengthDrawn value is always wrong when going to any printer on Windows 98.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, do you know of any solution?
Paul.
P.S. It's my birthday today!

do you use MFC? If so, maybe you could use CDC::GetTextExtent(...) to know the size of the text to draw/print? To output text I generally use CDC::TextOut(...) and don't recall having any clipping problem with this method.
(the corresponding win32 api are ::GetTextExtentPoint32 and ::TextOut)

Thanks! 
Using GetTextExtent/TextOut is all very well, but that doesn't tell me how much of my text will fit into a given rectangle. Once I've drawn my clipped text onto the bottom of my page, I need to know where in my text string I need to start drawing on the next page.
(I do use MFC BTW, but I don't think that's relevant.)
