Never send or post a WM_PAINT message, use Invalidate().

The sample pchangers does not include all possible cases. If your character is not in the map add it there, it should work. cheers

The edit control text length has nothing to do with CString. See my edited answer.

Alain Rist 23-May-11 11:33am View

You are totally right, the problem is on comparison, see my edited answer. cheers,

You were quicker :)

Alain Rist 20-Mar-11 18:43pm View

Considering the level of the OP the first step is: Hands up your keyboard, scratch your head and THINK :) That's my answer intent.

Alain Rist 17-Mar-11 5:27am View

See my edited answer, not really for total beginner :)

Alain Rist 16-Mar-11 16:33pm View

I never used MFC on WinCe devices so I am not able to answer your question. My suggestion is to only have UNICODE text files on your device.
cheers, AR

Alain Rist 15-Mar-11 3:38am View

There is no A, B, C or D in your posted code.

Alain Rist 7-Mar-11 12:08pm View

With move semantics swap does no copy in this case.

Alain Rist 7-Mar-11 11:02am View

See my answer :)

float values[100] = { 5.0f };" initializes values[0] to 5.0, and all others with the float 'default initializer' ie 0.f, strange to teach that to you ;)

Alain Rist 7-Mar-11 10:11am View

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/508fz12s(v=vs.80).aspx, or http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread71414.html or any C++ tutorial. BTW I never used C# :)

Alain Rist 7-Mar-11 10:01am View

[only the 2 first elements will be initialized!] is not true. If there are fewer items in the initializer list than elements in the array, the default constructor is used for the remaining elements. So float fvariable[100] = {0}; initializes the 100 values to 0.0f.

Alain Rist 5-Mar-11 3:34am View

Edited second link to point to the correct answer.

Alain Rist 4-Mar-11 4:14am View

[using std::string literally means to copy the argv constant C strings on the process stack into the (dynamically allocated) memory of the std::string variables]
This is not true with modern compilers implementing the move semantics, VC2010 and ggc 4.5 by now. cheers, AR

Alain Rist 4-Mar-11 4:05am View

Yes, needs an adaptor, see my update. cheers.

Alain Rist 24-Feb-11 5:08am View

Code should be more appealing now :)

Alain Rist 24-Feb-11 4:07am View

Thanks, I will try to make it look nicer :)

Alain Rist 22-Feb-11 9:51am View

Right, corrected :)

Alain Rist 4-Feb-11 2:39am View

Which compiler, Win SDK version, WTL version, OS with the problem?

Alain Rist 4-Feb-11 2:37am View

There is no CFrameWnd and no PreCreateWindow in WTL :(

Alain Rist 14-Jan-11 15:52pm View

int* buffer = (int*) a_valid_address; :)

Sorry, I didn't feel cryptic :)

Alain Rist 29-Dec-10 2:41am View

The question is tagged C++ so your answer is irrelevant, even if efficient.

As I told you in my answer first sentence, set your compiler warning level to maximum (for MSVC /W4 in Project->Settings->C++), compile and address all warnings.

Alain Rist 24-Nov-10 10:17am View

I am not sure the third compiles without error or at least WARNING.
const tClassOneVect& data = MyInstance; should work and call my answer's second construct (if exists) :)

I mean write your code so that the warning does not occur

Alain Rist 23-Nov-10 9:49am View

Simpler indeed :) and safer as well :)

Alain Rist 23-Nov-10 3:19am View

Changed C++ tag to C++/CLI

Alain Rist 22-Nov-10 15:47pm View

DINT is not a standard C++ type, it is probably defined somewhere you have access, otherwise you could not use it. Please provide the type definition. cheers,

Do not answer to yourself, comment an answer so that the author is notified.

Alain Rist 18-Nov-10 1:54am View

I edited my answser to address your objection. evviva :)

Alain Rist 16-Nov-10 2:46am View

No more confusion between 'char' and 'string', better indeed :)

Alain Rist 15-Nov-10 11:47am View

At least change string to char in your arrays, as is it does not compile and is very confusing

Alain Rist 13-Nov-10 7:23am View

There is no need to 'decode' NMEA data, as they are already ASCII characters. First study the article, then change some parts (for instance replace MFC CString by standard C++ std::string). And ahead :)

Alain Rist 13-Nov-10 3:41am View

How do you define and initialize buffRead?

Alain Rist 12-Nov-10 10:21am View

ceil(-4.99) == -4. :(

Alain Rist 12-Nov-10 2:15am View

Works only for positive values: 4.99 -> 5.49 -> 5 OK, -4.99 -> -4.49 -> -4 BAD

Google "Windows PATH" and "Windows execution environment" and have the answers translated to Italian :)

Alain Rist 7-Nov-10 14:14pm View

Removed C++ tag , added C++/CLI

Alain Rist 1-Nov-10 2:38am View

With this new code the whole discussion under is not understandable. Please revert to prior text and ask a new question.

Alain Rist 31-Oct-10 12:05pm View

Comment the offending parts from bottom to top. When you have a compiling code uncomment one part at time from top to bottom. Use the maximum warning level for your compiler. Don't insert new code as long as your compiler warns. Yes writing code is a painful work :)

The archive classes are built on std::iostream. The current library does not know C++0x shared_ptr, but the source for serializing boost::shared_ptr is not difficult to transpose to a custom std::shared_ptr serialization. IMHO using Boost Serialization should be simpler and easier to maintain than a home cooked solution, with not much more initial investment. Up to you anyhow :)

Alain Rist 16-Oct-10 5:19am View

Did you consider the boost Serialization library ?http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html

You don't create the setup for Redistributable Package you download it and run it on your target machine.

Alain Rist 29-Sep-10 7:25am View

'but your code is not working when i distribute the class parameter definition... from braces to individual definition like wcex.style=0;' then it's not anymore my code :)
The reason is you don't initialize all WNDCLASSEX members.

Alain Rist 28-Sep-10 15:36pm View

Because part of your WNDCLASSEX structure is initialized to garbage :)

Alain Rist 28-Sep-10 15:31pm View

Your 'answer' only works by chance. Try changing your project character set to MBCS and see what happens.

Alain Rist 18-Sep-10 18:51pm View

Try WNDCLASSEX wcex = {0}; it should take you one step further.

Alain Rist 18-Sep-10 2:59am View

I certainly don't say that. The CFullScreenImpl::SetFullScreen(bool bFullScreen) code resolves to Win32 API calls. cheers.

Alain Rist 18-Sep-10 2:42am View

Check ALL differences with mine :)

Alain Rist 18-Sep-10 2:05am View

You can check with my code that it is not enough to fail RegisterClassEx().

Alain Rist 12-Sep-10 3:27am View

See my referenced article :)
Just reverse :
- Set original menu
- Set original styles
- Set original position
That's all :)

Alain Rist 11-Sep-10 5:38am View

The double colons let you paste the code without name clash even when you are (for instance) deriving from ATL::CWindow which defines members with the same names, but different signatures :)

Alain Rist 9-Sep-10 3:13am View

Sorry, my edit was stupid. Please comment in the answer comment area, don't ask new questions as answers to yours :)

Alain Rist 9-Sep-10 2:46am View

Use dumpbin on your library file to get the "exported name" and use it as in my answer.

Alain Rist 5-Sep-10 15:00pm View

Use float, double or decimal C# types to get an usable value :)

Alain Rist 5-Sep-10 13:36pm View

I look forward to see it in your answer, without typedef it will be beautiful :)

Alain Rist 5-Sep-10 12:40pm View

You need to cast the GetProcAddress() returned value :)

Alain Rist 10-Aug-10 2:09am View

Unfortunately the IO routines are handled differently by WinCE and Windows. Check your device SDK IO support (it's not a Windows Mobile device and should have a matching SDK).
On a WinMobile 5 smartphone, I got that working with a reader thread reading 1 char at time until '$' signalling then a listener thread which would store the sentence post a message to the app main window, reset the read buffer and restart the reader thread. Worked OK for hours or days.

It's compiling here on VC2010 Warning level 4 (native C++ standard library). But yes, problem at least on
VC 2008.
There are zillion of discussions on std::string contiguous implementation but today (June 2010) it is a de facto standard.
What is overcomplicated?

Hi,
std::basic_string<>::assign() does NOT throw (or it is undocumented).
With my solutions the resource contents are only copied once (and converted in the short version, which would be necessary anyhow.
Returning the length allows the usual constructs as if(!LoadString(mystr, ID_MYSTR)) mystr = "Default Value";
Last, as I said in the post, passing the dest reference to the function makes the code usable in UNICODE or MBCS builds.
cheers,
AR
