Isn't there a hard and fast method for doing this?
No.
Permit me to offer an analogy: millions of people use their car to drive to work. Their route is usually a fixed one (from home to work). Yet, no car offers a magic button labelled "Drive to work". You have to:- Start the car.
- Navigate your route to work (by using the accelerator, brake, gears and steering wheel).
- Park the car.
- Turn off the engine.
It's the same with your programming problem. You need to:- Open the file for reading.
- Read each line (see
CStdioFile).
- Add each line to the list box (see
CListBox).
- If there are more lines to read, return to step 2.
- Close the file.
That's what programming is all about. Lots of little instructions that allow you to perform a task.

Im coming to that conclusion every day. At least with Assembly language, I expected it. I guess Ive been hoping that all the magic routes have been paved for me with C++. 
Thank you for your reply. I'll use your steps to help me put this thing together.

That is not necessarily true, just look at how much you have learned in a short period of time...

Thats true. I have learned quite a bit. Thankfully, you gave me the help that I needed to get over a snag. This programming stuff isnt too bad if you can get a lifeline now and then.
In fact, it's pretty cool. Well, when I reach some level of mastery, perhaps I can use my real name and help others too.
Ill look for your excellent posts in the future!

There is no method to directly fill a list box from the contents of a file. You have to open the file, read lines, add each line to the list box and close the file.
Easiest way is to use the class CStdioFile and
then use the method ReadString. Like:
====================
CStdioFile m_File;
CString m_strLine;
m_File.Open("FileName", CFile::modeRead, NULL);
if(m_File.m_pStream != NULL) /* File opened? */
{
while(m_File.m_pStream != NULL)
{
if(m_File.ReadString(m_strLine))
m_cListCtrl.AddTail(m_strLine);
else
{
m_File.Close();
break;
}
}
}

 Thank you for this info!
This looks like great stuff!
Please correct me on any misinterpretations I am about to make. 
CStdioFile m_File;<br />
CString m_strLine;
I see from the code that m_File is an object of CStdioFile and m_strLine is an object of CString...
m_File.Open("FileName", CFile::modeRead, NULL);<br />
if(m_File.m_pStream != NULL)
take the CStdioFile object (m_File), call it's inherited function (Open), then check to see that the file was successfully opened.
{<br />
while(m_File.m_pStream != NULL)<br />
{
while the file is open and not at the end of its text...
{<br />
if(m_File.ReadString(m_strLine))<br />
m_cListCtrl.AddTail(m_strLine);
...read from the text file and write to the listbox...
else<br />
{<br />
m_File.Close();<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}
...finally close the file and end.
Again, Thank you. But I have two small questions:
1. Does the "Filename" have to point to the full path of the text file, or can I just include it in the build as a resource file?
2. If I have created an object for my listbox (named m_choices), do I substitute that name where you have used "m_cListCtrl"?
Thank you for bearing with me. You may be saving my life! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

You are a great help!  
Thank you, Steve!
Ive got some new wind in my sails!
I studied deeper into CString and CStdio. I fiddled a bit.
I found m_cListCtrl.AddTail(m_strLine); was giving a little trouble...I changed it to m_choices.AddString(m_strLine);
...and BAM! My listbox is functional!
Thank you sooo much. I bet someone else will have the same problem and find this solution! This is great!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows why a process would show up in the process list in the short dos 8.3 format and not the long, full name format?
My process shows up as proc~1.exe. How do I get it to show up as process.exe?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I am trying to make a program which does the folowing:
every 1 second, it should click the mouse, so if the mouse is on the START menu , it should go up and show the menu, and if it is on the system menu (X) the window should close...
I used the following method:
i used WidnowFromPoint and GetCursorPos APIs to get the window at which the cursor is over.
and I used SendMessage() with WM_LBUTTONDOWN and with WM_LBUTTONUP to act like a mouse click.
this work well for command buttons and some windows, but when it comes to menus and taskbar buttons it does not work well.
I NEED IT TO ACT EXACTLY AS IF I REALLY CLICKED THE MOUSE BUTTON ON THE POINT AT WHICH THE MOUSE IS OVER!!!
any ideas?
thanx in advance,
Mohammad

Hi again. I got help from here before, and I hope to find some again. My problem is when I run the below program. While running, I can add fields to my queue, but when I try to run my writeAll function, it does the first list, then crashes. Any help would be appreciated.
proj5.cpp Code:
<code>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "class.h"
// #include "QUEUE.h"
// #include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;
template <class dT>
void writeAll(queue <dT>);
int main()
{
queue <string> nameQueue;
queue <int> numQueue;
char choice;
string name;
int num;
// template <class dT>
// void writeAll(queue <dT>);
do
{
cout << "A - Adds record to the queue" << endl;
cout << "V - View all records in the queue" << endl;
cout << "Q - Quits program" << endl;
cout << "Choice: ";
cin >> choice;
switch(choice)
{
case 'a' :
case 'A' : cout << "Players Name: ";
cin >> name;
nameQueue.enQData(name);
cout << "Players Number: ";
cin >> num;
numQueue.enQData(num);
break;
case 'v' :
case 'V' : writeAll(numQueue);
writeAll(nameQueue);
break;
case 'q' :
case 'Q' : cout << "Quit\n";
break;
default : cout << "Not a valid choice.\n";
} // end switch
} while(choice != 'Q' && choice != 'q');
return 0;
} // end main
// - - - - -
template <class dT>
void writeAll(queue <dT> theQ)
{ node <dT> * at = theQ.front;
do
{ cout << at -> data << endl;
at = at -> backward;
} while(at != NULL);
} // end writeAll
</code>
If you want me to post the "class.h" file, I would be more than happy too. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,
I have a problem that I don't really know where to start with, and I'm hoping someone are able to help me.
I have developed a program that relies heavily on GDI+, and mainly this works well. However I have experienced a bug when printing on a windows 98 machine with a HP 540 printer, where the page printed has the colors switched. That is, the areas I want white is black, and the other way around. I know that win98 is a long time ago, but this particular program aims at users in the school-sector, where brand new computers are a quite seldom sight, so I have to make it work.
What confuses me more, is the fact that nothing in the program itself seems to have any problems with the use of GDI+. I've installed the gdiplus.dll-file, and my program does what it's supposed to perfectly, including print preview.
On other test machines however, including my own, I have no problems printing perfectly...
This confuses med quite a bit, so any help would be appreciated a *lot*, even if it's only a clue on to where I should look.

HP drivers are often crap. See if there's an upgrade available before you waste too much time on it.

OK, thanks for the tip, but I tried it with no luck. The driver was the latest driver available.

[edit]
You could also just add the manifest text to a custom resource (type = "24", id = 1) in your .exe. That way, you don't have to ship a manifest file with your app.

Ravi Bhavnani,
Is that for apps compiled for DotNet platform ?

I don't know. I was referring to C/C++ apps using MFC or the Windows SDK.

Hello,
i have a problem with the Clistctrl, i have created it with the extended style LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES, then i have created a new bitmap with the createbitmap method and i have attached it to imagelist,
the problem is that when the clistctrl is displayed the bitmap is always
black.
Thanks
|

|

Does this happen with every bitmap in the image list? Do the bitmaps have to be a certain size or from a certain palette? It might be helpful to find a working example here at CP and compare the code to what you have.

I want to find the maximum value in an array. The array may contain more than one than one maximum values. Therefore, I also need to count the number of maximum. For example, I have an array {1, 2, 3, 6, 6, 6, 5}
The maximum value is 6
The count is 3
How can I do it in optimal way? i.e. with minimum number of for loops
I've tried in my way:
int maxvalue = array[0];
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
if (array[i] >= maxvalue) maxvalue = array[i];
}
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
if (array[i] == maxvalue) count++;
}
Here I think I loop too many.
Is there any way to do it faster?
Thanks
