Hello,
I have never worked with C++.
I've a project writtern by another person which creates a OCX output.
Actually it's only a class library. Now I want to change the output type to .DLL instead of .OCX.
Any idea how to do it??

...in the project properties in all probabilities...

hi toxcct,
I tried but could not find project property which lets me to change the output type.
Can you pls explain the steps how do I do it?

what IDE do you use (VC6, VS7, VS71, VS8) ?
|
|
|
|

Dear all,
I am programming against an API of an application that simulates robot movements.
Whenever I send a command that makes the robot move, the application starts a new thread for that movement and sends a callback when this thread and the accompanying movement have ended. I have no access/handle to that thread, but only the callback. However, the movement only starts, when the function, in which the movement command was issued, returns to the main runloop. So I cannot wait inside the function for the callback to occur, because then the motion would never been started, I cannot wait (or ::Sleep) "outside", because the runloop would get blocked and would also prevent the motion from beeing started.
The reason for waiting is that I have to check feedback from that particular motion (e.g. whether there is a collision), before I can start a new motion.
Is there any way to work around for what seems to me like an unsolvable dilemma?
Thanks a lot for all your comments

Assuming that you have an event based application (a windows application with GUI), then you could simply let the callback handler post a message to your event queue. If you can provide a value (context) to the callback handler, you could have one static method in your class that does something like the following:
RobotApi::RegisterCallback(CRobotOverlord::OnRobotCallback, (DWORD)this);<br />
<br />
void CRobotOverlord::OnRobotCallback(DWORD dwContext)<br />
{<br />
ASSERT(dwContext);<br />
CRobotOverlord* my = reinterpret_cast<CRobotOverlord*>(dwContext);<br />
ASSERT(my->m_hTargetWnd);<br />
<br />
::PostMessage(my->hTargetWnd, WM_APP, 0, 0);<br />
}
In your application's message map create a handler for message WM_APP:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDialogMain, CDialog)<br />
...<br />
ON_MESSAGE(WM_APP, OnRobotEvent)<br />
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
Using PostMessage() and a message handler makes sure that you will process the event in the thread context of your application, so even when the callback would be in the thread context of the robot library's worker thread you would (in this example code) process it in your own thread context. Saying this I welcome our robot overlords!
Hope it helps

Hi,
The following is the example I have (and works):
const char *labels[] = {"Mon", "Tue", "Wed"}
SomeFunctions(labels, 3);
Now I want to initialize the contents of the array at run-time.
I tried the following but an error comes up:
const char *labels= NULL;
*labels = new char[3];
labels[0]=_T("Mon");
labels[1]=_T("Tue");
labels[2]=_T("Wed");
SomeFunctions(labels, 3);
error C2665: SomeFunctions : none of the 3 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'const char *'
Can someone please show me how declare the same type of array as the examples? Thanks.

This is wrong.
labels = new char *[3];
looks better.
You want to create three char *s, not an array of three chars

oops, you are right.
But now that I changed it as you suggested, it added a new error:
<br />
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char ** ' to 'const char *'
|
|
|
|

const char *labels= NULL;*labels = new char[3];labels[0]=_T("Mon");labels[1]=_T("Tue");labels[2]=_T("Wed");SomeFunctions(labels, 3);
Something like
char ** labels = new char *[3];
labels[0] = "test";
label[1] = "Not sure if this is exactly right, you may need to use new and strcpy";
label[2] = "I agree with the other poster, you should use vector if you can";
In fact, a vector is a dynamic array, so if you use char * instead of string, the index of the first char in the first item, would represent the start of a block of memory with three strings in it.

Yup, you nailed it exactly. Thanks a lot.
P.S.: Since this is not my class, I cannot change it.

can you please show us how is declared SomeFunction(), and what you're trying to do exactly...
just a guess: why aren't you using std::vector<> ?

[edit]
what about overloading SomeFunction() into Somefunction(const std::vector<std::string>&) and use this code instead :
std::vector<std::string> vec;
vec.push_back("mon");
vec.push_back("tue");
vec.push_back("wed");
SomeFunction(vec);

This function is from a lib. here is the declaration in the header file
(Somefunction=StringArray)
<br />
class StringArray<br />
{<br />
public :<br />
int len;<br />
const char * const *data;<br />
StringArray() : len(0), data(0) {}<br />
StringArray(const char * const *data, int len) : len(len), data(data) {}<br />
const char *operator[](int i) const { return data[i]; }<br />
};

oh my god !!! does this really compile, and even if so, is this really necessary, rather that const char* ??
and is this class yours ?
why using C style stuff in a C++ code ? (i mean, char* strings when you obviously use classes, so, could use std::string...)

like i wrote before, it's not my class. it's part of a lib i am using.
and i am bit confused myself (since I always use the easier path - MFC 
so, is there anyway to get around this?

i have to parse an xml file using basic c program. i had seen in vc++ and also in c#. but how to do this in c programming. pls help me
|
|
|
|

Write your own parser. Use string functions like strcpy,strcmp etc.
Or find some third party libs.
If u can Dream... U can do it

hmm yes but i dont have any idea in that. how to parse the tag

Basically C processing is identical to C++ one. Of course if you use DOM, then you have to take into account how to access COM objectd from plain C (there are good articles about, see, for instance [^].
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.
