Phil Speller31-May-02 10:37 Phil Speller 31-May-02 10:37  If you like the GUI centered approach to coding but would prefer to work with C++, you could try Borlands (now Inprise, I think) C++ Builder - same idea as their Delphi product but based around C++ rather than Pascal. Free Re: delphi VS vc++,which one? señor codeman6-Jun-02 1:24 señor codeman 6-Jun-02 1:24  C++Builder is based around C++ but it fully supports pascal as well, making for many hours of multi-language coding fun (and about 5,000 access violations.... damn you WinXP!) -- señor codeman codeman@delphidudes.com Re: delphi VS vc++,which one? Alan Chambers31-May-02 11:07 Alan Chambers 31-May-02 11:07  Pascal was originally developed to teach programming to beginners. Although Delphi uses a far better compiler it is not as powerful as VC++. It is impossible (I believe) to add an icon to the system tray in delphi (well versions 5 and lower - if you can, how???), but obviously not in VC++, I think (having used both) that Delphi is more of a tool for programmers wanting to create windows GUI applications FAST, it is not a serious contender to the power of VC++. With this in mind I'd say Delphi is by far the best language to start learning to program and get familiar with programming concepts (pointers, data structures etc.) but if you want to be a serious programmer VC++ is eventually where you should progress to. I think Java is more of a contender to throne (but will never beat it cause you can't manipulate memory!!!). Alan.

With Delphi you can call any WIN32 API function. So if you can do it with API, you can do it with Delphi. I believe Borland is supporting Delphi only for the language. It has behind a C++ compiler and only with a different parser. You can use C++ builder to build Delphi files also. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu Re: delphi VS vc++,which one? señor codeman6-Jun-02 1:50 señor codeman 6-Jun-02 1:50  you can add icons to system tray in delphi, i was doing it in delphi 3 (because i never had delphi 2) -> i have a comjponent i wrote for it somewhere, if you are interested maybe i can dig it out (email me) the only things C++ REALLY has over Delphi in terms of power now is templates and multiple inheritance (you can inherit from a class and an interface, but not two classes) it's better for getting things going quick though, and it builds faster than any C++ compiler i've ever used... as for java, it belongs steaming in my coffee cup (speaking of coffee, i could use some now ) -- señor codeman codeman@delphidudes.com Re: delphi VS vc++,which one? tiaozi31-May-02 17:50 tiaozi 31-May-02 17:50  thanks for reply.... Minimal COM example slah31-May-02 3:01 slah 31-May-02 3:01  HI I am having problem with the minimal COM example in D. Esposito's book of Visual C++ Shell Programing. Is anybody out there who used that example. On my system it gives error of ClassFactory. Is there any solution to this problem. GetDlgItem crashes mikeh31-May-02 2:47 mikeh 31-May-02 2:47  I've seen this problem mentioned before, so, I'm hoping someone can help. I have a dialog that has some controls on it. In debug, the dialog works fine. However, in release mode, the code crashes on GetDlgItem. The code looks something like this: // determine what menu item the mouse may be over. for (n = IDC_TEAROFF_ITEM2; n<=m_lastMenuItemID; ++n) { pWnd = GetDlgItem(n); pWnd->GetWindowRect(&itemRect); The controls are all CStatics. Their ids are in sequential order. The dialog lives in a dll. It consistently crashes on the GetDlgItem call. Anyone have an idea as to what is wrong? TIA, Mike Re: GetDlgItem crashes 31-May-02 4:50 31-May-02 4:50  Have you called AFX_MANAGE_STATE (AfxGetStaticModuleState ()); at the beginning of the DLL entry point for this code? Ed. Re: GetDlgItem crashes mikeh31-May-02 5:00 mikeh 31-May-02 5:00  Not directly. The code is housed within a COM component that contains a doc-view framework. The user clicks a toolbar button that creates an instance of a modeless dialog. When the mouse is moved over the dialog items (ie. OnMouseMove()), the example code is triggered to determine what control the mouse is over. The error is an 005 Access Violation which usually means a bad pointer. I'm not sure why the code works fine in debug. I suspect it has something to do with the individual controls. I used classwizard to define member variables for each control. I get further into the code now, but, it still crashes later on. In release mode, it appears that the GetDlgItem() call has trouble if the control is not tied to an actual member variable. Re: GetDlgItem crashes 31-May-02 5:35 31-May-02 5:35  Pretty sure you should use "AFX_MANAGE_STATE (AfxGetStaticModuleState ());" at the beginning of the COM call - especially if your using CWnds or resources (or any MFC!) inside a DLL. Re: GetDlgItem crashes mikeh31-May-02 7:47 mikeh 31-May-02 7:47  Thanks to Mike Collins, this problem has been solved. Here is the resolution: My code uses many user message handlers. I typically use the ON_MESSAGE() macro with a function handler. When defining the function handler, I often code a prototype function like the following: void OnUserHandler(); However, this is incorrect. Eventhough this code will compile (with no warnings!) and work fine in debug, it will fail in release mode. The resolution is to change the function handlers to the following: afx_msg LRESULT memberFxn(WPARAM, LPARAM); Hope this helps all who run across this in the future! Re: GetDlgItem crashes James R. Twine31-May-02 10:33 James R. Twine 31-May-02 10:33     FWIW, the version of MFC included with VS.NET uses the casting operators to detect when signature mismatches like this occur.    Peace! -=- James.

Problem with CString::Replace ( LPCTSTR lpszOld, LPCTSTR lpszNew ); Munkijo31-May-02 2:01 Munkijo 31-May-02 2:01  I have a CString type variable with a large HTML file in it. When I attempt to replace all occurrances of a character with another characer, it works fine, however, if I attempt to replace a string ("= ") with another string ("="), it appears to get stuck in some endless loop somewhere. I have left it running for hours, and it is still stuck at the same replace statement. Is there something I'm missing?

No, where it says HTMLfile->Replace (" ", " "); the first string is actually a non-braking space character - In the while loop, it's meant to have two spaces between the first seyt of inverted commas, and one in the second set. Re: Problem with CString::Replace ( LPCTSTR lpszOld, LPCTSTR lpszNew ); Bill Wilson31-May-02 14:22 Bill Wilson 31-May-02 14:22  Is it possible the first character is actually a space just like the second? That would cause an infinite loop, as each call to replace will find the same character and replace it with itself. To Release or Not to Release...
