Hi,
I have a 2 pane splitter wnd (bottom and top) in an SDI app. I wanna make the bottom pane of constant size (let's say: clientrect width x 100, and the top pane: clientrect width x (clientrect Height - 100).
I tried to handle WM_SIZE in bottomview and topview first calculating the required rects and then calling MoveWindow, without any success. (the panes were not repainted, so the underlying desktop was seen in them)
Could you give me please some pointer how to do it properly?
Thanks
R.

I am doing this in a current project... try this:
you need a member variable of your splitter window, for instance m_MySplitterWnd.
and in your main window add a WM_SIZE handler
void CYourMainWnd::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
CFrameWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
if( nType != SIZE_MINIMIZED )
{
int iCyCur=0;
int iCyMin=0;
int iCyNew=0;
CRect ClientRect;
// get size of client window
GetClientRect(ClientRect);
// is the splitter valid?
HWND hWndMySplitter = m_MySplitterWnd.GetSafeHwnd();
if( hWndMySplitter == NULL || !::IsWindow( hWndMySplitter ) )
{
return;
}
// get and set row info for splitter
m_MySplitterWnd.GetRowInfo( 0, iCyCur, iCyMin );
iCyNew = max( iCyMin, (ClientRect.Height() - 100));
m_MySplitterWnd.SetRowInfo( 0, iCyNew, iCyMin );
// force the splitter to recalculate
m_MySplitterWnd.RecalcLayout();
}
}
Hope this works, it's working for me..

Well I am almost ashamed of asking this...
After striving to understand ATL/WTL/and brand new COM interface from Redmond...
#include <cstdio>
#ifndef __cplusplus
#error Ok, now you are sure that its cpp.... Disable Language extensions ... no
#endif
int f()
{
return 10;
}
int main()
{
int n = f();
char s[n];
}

Am I missing something??? Did I not understand a word of the C++ standard? Did I forget to turn on a obscure switch buried somewhere? I know that it is not valid C, but I thought it *was* :? valid C++...
The code below compiles fine on gcc 2.95.3, but I am aware that the GCC compiler has some extensions to everything...
Please clarify,
Regards,
R.

You're not missing anything. The offending line is simply illegal: in C++ (and in C) arrays must be declared as having constant (i.e. knowable at compile-time) size, except if you allocate them dynamically
char *s=new char[n]; which might not be what you want --it incurs the extra burden of managing dynamic memory. A good combination of these two extremes (contanst-size stack allocation vs. dynamic allocation) is STL's vector, which allows for non constant-size allocation and keeps you away from the error-prone memory management issues.

PS: The code presumably compiles in gcc as this compiler is supersmart and can deduce that f(n) is a constant value, namely 10. It is a striking fact that it's allowing this, however (and I think it's not standard anyway).

Joaquin,
Gracias por la respuesta.
Not exactly....
I am aware of the "new" approach
In the char traits template:
/usr/include/g++-3/std/straits.h
static char_type* move (char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n)
{
char_type a[n];
size_t i;
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
assign (a[i], s2[i]);
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
assign (s1[i], a[i]);
return s1;
}
Is an example.
According to the array help in VCStudio
decl-specifiers dname [ constant-expressionopt ] ;
So I can understand why the code does not work. However, it is quite shocking that in the STL implementation of the GCC compiler they use this feacure
I do not have the STD here, so I cannot answer ly own question..

It is in fact quite shocking the piece of code you're showing. To me, this is just illegal. Why don't you go and post this to comp.lang.c++.moderated? There're plenty of C++ gurus out there who know every minute detail about the standard.
There's a copy online of an old C++ standard draft, which I guess serves most of the time as a valid reference (at least for aspects that have remain stable since long). Follow this link for the paragraph defining constant expression. In particular, there's an illuminating sentence that says
"In particular, except in sizeof expressions, functions, class objects, pointers, or references shall not be used, and assignment, increment, decrement, function-call, or comma operators shall not be used"

Variable length arrays are a part of C99 standard. You give here a sample code for gcc 3, which support this standard. The C++ prog. language from Microsoft implements a different standard.

Hi,
My question is about this following code :
char ** ValeurColonne;
ValeurColonne = (char **) malloc(sizeof(char*) * 10);
memset(ValeurColonne,0x00,sizeof(char*) * 10);
for (i=0;i<10;i++)
strcpy(ValeurColonne[i],"Some text");
First question :
How can i use new operator to replace malloc ?
Second question :
This line strcpy(ValeurColonne[i],"Some text"); seem correct but i don't understand why we can write ValeurColonne[i]. I think that ValeurColonne isn't an array.
thanks in advance
|

- Yes you can. In your particular case the replacement would look like
ValeurColonne = new (char *)[10]; The deletion is done with
delete [] ValeurColonne;
- The line is not entirely correct (except if one assumes there's additional code not showed here).
ValeurColonne is an array, namely an array of char *. That is, each element of ValeurColonne is a pointer to char.Then your line is semantically equivalent to
char * pChar=valuerColonne[i];
strcpy(pChar,"Some text"); The bug in the code is this: strcpy assumes that there's some allocated space pointed to by pChar where the string copying can be performed. As your code stands, pChar is null for all the positions of ValeurColonne, and a crash in your program is guaranteed.

I am currently designing custom wrappers of ADO objects for a series of related MFC projects.
Each wrapper is just a generic C++ class with simple functions that hide much of the ADO property/method complexity. ADO objects are interfaced through #import directive.
While carefully studying the structure of *.tlh file, I noticed that all the member functions of smart pointer wrappers are __stdcall type (like Win32 API), whereas the default setting in my MFC project is __cdecl. Then I understand that smart pointer functions will be __stdcall, whereas all of my wrapper functions will be labeled __cdecl during compilation step.
Questions:
1) Do I need to explicitly label each one of them in code with __stdcall as well, or __cdecl callers of __stdcall methods do not interfere with each other?
2) Does anyone know when when exactly is it preferred to overide __cdecl with __stdcall?
3) What are the advantages of one calling convention over another?
Thanks.
Kirill

1) There's no interference at all. You can invoke a function having whatever calling convention from any other function with different calling convention as long as the caller knows in advance the proper calling convention of the callee.
2) 3) Nemanja Trifunovic's Calling Conventions Demystified explains it all about CCs.

Just one add to the previous reply : _cdecl is the only one that allows variable argument lists.
|
|
|
|
|
Most COM functions are __stdcall. You will probably create some confusion if using __cdecl. Also note that you will only be able to connect to C/C++ clients using __cdecl, which somewhat defies the purpose of COM. I suggest you only use __cdecl if you need variable parameters, and really can't think of a way around this.

This is off of the topic from the original question, but it may shed some light on why particular conventions were chosen.
The key to all COM object interfaces is that they all have to use __stdcall. That is how it becomes safe to call objects that some complete stranger wrote with this model. Everyone uses the same calling convention.
The reason why this convention was chosen over _cdecl, is that the variable length parameter lists make this format unsafe if an interface function call needs to be marshalled to another machine, the proxy code would not know how many parameters and what types they are to marshal.

If I create an MDI application visual C++, how can I create an openGL child window for the application?

Check the opengl section. There are many examples.

Hi,
I manage to insert one ActiveX in my word doc, using:
COleVariant vClassType = "GrAxProof.GDIGraphics";
Word::InlineShapePtr pShp = m_pWord->GetSelection()->InlineShapes->AddOLEObject(vClassType);
Now the problem, comes when I save the Word file, and I load it again, then a metafile is shown but when I press double click, it appears this message:
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found, Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not beed deleted, moved, or renamed.
What should I do to avoid this ?, Thanks, Bye !

is it possible to create a listctrl in report view, with several columns. Where some of these columns are comboboxes?
|
|
|
|
|
There are examples of how you can manipulate the listview controls while in report view here at CP.
I don't think any of the examples use comboboxes, but there is statusbars, edit boxes...etc...I imagine the edit fields are implemented with a floating CEdit control.
You could do something similar with a combobox control i'm sure.

Of cource it is possible to create a listctrl in report view but about comboboxes it is better to check ListCtrl part in CP maybe there is something there.

Hi All,
I have a parent window that contains an OLE object. I want the OLE object to draw on its parent's DC (for animation). This isn't too much of a problem, as I can get the parent CWnd and associated DC.
The problem is however - I have pre-written code to do the drawing that expects to start drawing at 0,0. This means the graphic is always at the top left of my parent window. What I want to do is shift the graphic to the right and down so it's above the object.
I *think* what I want to do is shift the whole parent DC to the right and down, but I'm not sure how to go about this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Paul.
