Only string literals should have double backslashes.

Is this double \0 terminated?

What does this return?

Hi all,
I'm Trying to make some operation on a map. Unfortunately I have to make a massive use of pointers I'm not very expert In their use. I define the map in this way:
map<string,list><celement*>*> m_Layers;
In this map I want to change the key associated with two list. So The task I want to do is this:
if there is two entry one has a string called string1 and a list called list1, the other has string string2 and list list2. I want to change the key associated with the two lists so string1 is associated with list2 and string2 is associated to list1. I have thought to save the lists of interests in two extern lists and then to re-insert them with the key changed but I'm not able to erase the list present in the map because I use the pointer in a bad way the code I do (I Know that is wrong) is this:
<br />
string layerName = "layer1"<br />
map<string,list><celement*>*>::iterator mapIter = m_Layers.find(layerName);<br />
string levelToDown = mapIter->first;<br />
list<celement*>* listaToDown = mapIter->second;<br />
mapIter--;<br />
string levelToUp = mapIter->first;<br />
list<celement*>* listaToUp = mapIter->second;<br />
m_Layers.erase(mapIter);<br />
m_Layers.erase(m_Layers.find(levelToUp));<br />
pair<string,list><celement*>*> entry = pair<string,list><celement*>*>(levelToDown,listaToUp);<br />
entry = pair<string,list><celement*>*>(levelToUp,listaToDown);<br />
<br />

You are more likely to receive help if you post code that compiles, the following doesn't:
map<string,list><celement*>*>

I'll give you the same advice I do to others, and then you can ignore it also. Learn basics and fundamentals ( pointers is a basic in C/C++) before you move on to things like STL and developing applications.

Dear Friends,
Is there any API to get list of installed products in Windows?
Regards,
Krishnakumar

No. Even Windows doesn't know what's installed. You could just copy an app into a folder somewhere - the OS doesn't have to know anything about it.

I mean that, the list that is shown in the 'add/remove programs' in control panel.

That would be on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

But that doesn't count as an "installation", does it?

Good Afternoon !
I have opened a handle of a COM port using CreateFile()
COMPortHandle = CreateFile ("COM1", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0,\
0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0);
Now after that i do some other tasks.
Now i want to check the status of the handle i.e COMPortHandle
and close it if still opened, how to do it?
I do it in this manner, but i think it is not correct
if (COMPortHandle != NULL)
{
CloseHandle (COMPortHandle);
}
|

What do you mean by 'still opened' ? If you didn't close the handle yourself and if the CreateFile function succeeded, then your handle will still be opened. If you want to check if CreateFile was successfull, take a look at the documentation[^]: it returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE if it failed.

Hi
I want to have a scroll bar for a group-box control.
This is not possible bcoz the windows-os does not provide one , hence i was thinking of using a vertical-scroll control , but i was not successful.
Hence i thought of using a html page where in i can have a template and i can populate the values in the html page as i want programmatically.
I know this can be done in MFC , but i dont know whether the same can be done in win32 also.
Could any one help me

What I've done in the past is a bit complex, but a lot simpler than wiring up an HTML control - especially in Win32.
1/ Make a big overall window. Maybe a dialog box... The choice is up to you.
2/ Place a group control on it. This is just decoration.
3/ Place a vertical scroll bar next to, or just inside the right edge of the group box.
4/ Handle messages from WM_VSCROLL in your parent (eg) dialog.
5/ Create a child window taking up most of the space inside the group control. We'll call it PaneParent. This is blank, and does nething interesting except...
6/ Create a child window (call it Pane) inside the above child window. This Pane can be very large, and was also a modeless dialog box (with the WS_CHILD style set).
7/ When the scroll bar is used, move the Pane window about inside PaneParent. PaneParent will clip the Pane, so you only see a part of it.
Caveats - you'll also want the CONTROL and CONTROLPARENT styles set, to help the TABbing about.
None of this is easy, but it's OK if you break it into simpler bits. Make a dummy dialog with "I'm the top!", "I'm the middle!" and so on static controls on it until you have things working a bit more. But it's still easier than handling callback interfaces from an embedded browser control...

Isn't a group box supposed to be static? How did you get this bad idea?
Why do you want to keep in so many things such that you will need a scroll bar? Not only will it require extra coding efforts, but it will look terrible. Ever heard of a tab control?

Yes.

No, not for attaching a scroll-bar to a group box.

How can we a tab control be useful,
I am clueless about it.
I have lots of data to be displayed in a dialog , could you please help me

Rajesh's idea is a good one - mine was just telling you how to do something.
But his point is good. If you really have tons of stuff there, can you break it into sections? If so, read up on property sheets / property pages. Window's uses those in the control panel.
And MFC has CPropertyPage/Sheets all ready and waiting for you when you come back from reading.

Of course yes, but read up on tab control (there are plenty of samples all over the internet) and if you encounter a trouble, come back and post what do you need help with.
It is not a very daunting task, if you ask me.

Hi,
I am working on an mfc application and implementing chat module. In chat module i need to give the function of sending emoticons. I am using a button with text emticons and when i click it i am opening a dialog box which is having several smiley.
Now the problem is that I want open the DialogBox having emoticons just above the button having text as emoticons. How can i position my DialogBox at just top of the button.
Thanks In Advance.

Make the coords of the button available to the dialog and then use SetWindowPos [^].

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong.
