2 things :
- because it is not difficult if you know the basics of C++ (which is apprently not the case)
- the example on codeguru is exactly what i suggested you, but unfortunately, you didn't apply it correctly. it's not my fault buddy. learning C++ was only a good advice, now, the balls are in your area ; you do what you want...

FYI:
Most C++ experts recommend that you make operator<() a non-member function.
And that you create a operator<=() as a member function.
That paticular example in CodeGuru is not a good one, and it may be a little out date.

// We use this object so that list::sort() can sort in a different
// order.Normally greater<> is used. We override it here to switch to
// less.
class less_str : public greater<string> {
public:
bool operator()(const string& _X, const string& _Y) const
{
return _X <= _Y;
}
};
I have directly use the list.sort(less_str());
In this processing, I have trace into ...
but it always get into greater<string> operator (), why it don't get into less_str operator()?

If you use VC++ 6.0 it's probably a bug in VC++ 6.0. See MSDN

Dear Members,
I need to color a button using ATL, WTL or WIN 32 API..
I can easily do it using MFC but because of the Application requirement
I have to do it by using the above mentioned technologies only.
Kindly help me out by sending tips and useful codes.
Regards,
Mayank Srivastava

Here's a good start with WTL:
class CColorButton : public CWindowImpl<CColorButton, CButton> {
public:
DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS(_T("CColorButton"), _T("BUTTON"))
BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CColorButton)
MSG_OCM_DRAWITEM(OnDrawItem)
END_MSG_MAP()
public:
void OnDrawItem(UINT uCode, LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT pdis) {
}
};
Please note that you will have to make your button BS_OWNERDRAW (window style flag). This unfortunately makes the button unable to work properly as a default button. If you need this functionality, I can provide that code as well. I just wanted to make this code as simple and easy to understand as possible, as it illustrates how to draw the button yourself easily. Also, please do not forget to add REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS() in your parents message handler. If you don't, your button will not be drawn.. at all!

As many of you probably know, Visual Studio 2005 contains a nasty std::iostream bug that causes a memory leak. If, like me, you use streams such as stringstream/wstringstream, fstream, etc. you will be affected. The fix is to rebuild the MSVCRT80.DLL, which is a major undertaking and, IMHO, not worth the pain.
Hence I thought I'd investigate STLPort. I have heard good things about this library, and it would allow me to work around the iostream bug, as I wouldn't be using the MS implementation.
However, I also use Boost, and there doesn't seem to be a config for VS 2005 _and_ STLPort! Sob. Has anyone here made the three work together?

It's also a pain because you'd have to put the DLL next to your binary. You never know which app will overwrite that file. So in essence, it'd be like using a static library, but with a bigger startup overhead!

I don't see how boost comes into the picture..? IIRC, STLPort is supposed to be a drop in replacement for the regular STL library that ships with Visual Studio. As for the missing config for VS 2k5, have you tried using the 2k3 config? It might work straight out of the box...

Boost has different jam configs when building for VC + STLPort, so I think it must be relevanr somehow...

If you rebuild the crt dll, and install it in say Windows\System32, it could be overwritten by another program. Overwritten with the "original" crt dll which has the memory leaks.
If you put the dll alongside the binary, the chances of another application overwriting it is virtually zero.

Shudder. Never even cross my mind to install anything in System32, but you are right - many people actually do that

Uh huh. I've stopped doing that as well. It used to be "correct practice" once I believe, but it's just asking for headaches. I do DLLs only these days, but I put them side by side with the executable. It won't be much better than .libs from an optimization point of view (shared code, etc). But it is easier from a maintainence point of view, as I only have to patch affected DLLs, and not the entire app.
Another great benefit with DLLs is that it's very easy to debug code on site, as it's just a matter of replacing the DLLs which contains TRACE messages, and/or similar debugging I/O.
I like DLLs. Does it show?

Me too. Although it wouldn't hurt if we got some standard C++ module/component system on top of them. The .NET component system is one of the rare things where .NET is really a better development environment than C++. I know there is COM, but a) it is bloated and b) it is not portable.

I'd ask on the Boost Users mailing list - that's probably more likely to get a useful (or at least definitive) reply...

Apparently, there is another "unofficial" way: Look at the third reply from the bottom of this page:[^]
Steps:
1) Open up istream in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\Include
2) Before line 29, insert the following code
explicit __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL basic_istream(_Mysb *_Strbuf, bool _Isstd, bool _Noinit)
: _Chcount(0)
{ // construct from stream buffer pointer
if (!_Noinit)
_Myios::init(_Strbuf, _Isstd);
}
3) In the same file (istream), look for the following line:
: basic_istream<_Elem, _Traits>(_Strbuf, false),
and change it to:
: basic_istream<_Elem, _Traits>(_Strbuf, false, true),

Hi all,
Does aNy body know how we can pass strucutres ( types in VB ) as parameters of function defined in COM DLL interface ?
For e.g. I have one interface called IDatabase and i want to add method like
"HRESULT SetData([in]USER userData)".
In this case the DLL is compiled successfully, but when it is used in the Visual Basic, it gives error
"user defined object can not be passed by value". The DLL should be used in both VB and VC++ client applicaitons.

It's not a simple task to pass structures in COM/DCOM.
1. A structure must be of the type VT_RECORD.
2. All the structure's fields must be of an automation-compatible type.
3. The structure must be described in a TLB.
4. The structure must have a GUID (assigned in the IDL file).
5. A special structure-oriented interface IRecordInfo must be used to manipulate structures (IRecordInfo::RecordCreate(), IRecordInfo::RecordDestroy(), etc.).

Anyone use this product? If so, did you update it for VC7+? If so...I need to talk to you!

Dear all,
I am new to ATL COM programming and the question may be silly, but pls help.
In the COM, I have defined one Simple Object Add with the inferface IAdd. Then in the client program I try to get the COM interface using following:
CComPtr<iadd> pAdd;
HRESULT hr = pAdd.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Add);
here got problem, the following ASSERT failed;
ASSERT(hr==S_OK);
Then I define the connection Container pointer,
IConnectionPointContainer * pCPC;
hr = pAdd->QueryInterface(IID_IConnectionPointContainer, (void **) &pCPC;
Then I got the assertion failure again and it is atlbase.h line 758 assertion failed.
The program is quite simple, but I just don't know where is the problem. Please help!

Hello hardworkboy,
The assertion failure after the call to CoCreateInstance() could be due to one of many reasons. It is important at this stage to determine what is the value of "hr". We can then proceed to diagnose the problem.
Best Regards,
Bio.

Dear Bio Liong,
Thank you for your reply.
The hr value is -2147221008. Actually I am using WCE ATL COM AppWizard to create a COM. Then on the class view panel, I "New ATL Object", then I got the interface like "IAdd". In the testing program, I write the following:
CComPtr<iadd> pAdd;
hr = pAdd.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Add);
here I got the problem.
I am quite unfamiliar with COM creation with ATL. So I may make silly mistakes. I am sorry for that.
Sincerely,
HWB

You haven't called CoInitialize for the thread making the call to CoCreateInstance.
If anyone here says they've never made that mistake, I wouldn't necessaraily believe them...
