Derived Class and Base Class

I am new to C++ have done some mainframe programming

I have a C++ question I figure Here is the best place to post it

What is the main advantage of having base and derevied classes instead of 2 seperate declarations
e.g.

Class MyClass : public CSstring

{

.
.
.
}

As opposed to

Class MYclass;
Class CSstring;

Is it that in former I can get at CSstring protected members/Methods ????

Thankx

There are many uses of inheritance, one of them being that you can develop interfaces. Inheritance is also a fundamental when it comes to using object-oriented design to solve problems. Depending on what kind of problems you are trying to solve and the complexity of the framework that you have to design, you may not use it much, or you may use it quite extensively.

In your example, yes, you can access protected members/methods, but that's not the reason why you'd use inheritance. If you have no need for any class hierarchy, then there might not be any benefits from using it.

its mainly a design thing The Base Class could be the lowest level interface, Where a user is Using a Object he/She may not need to access that low a level However the Derived Class may have a need for it

I have a project I want to write and I think once I get to coding I'll get a better feel for it

Thankx

What if you had a Car class and a Truck class? It wouldn't make much sense to have all of the common aspects duplicated between each. Instead, everything that is common to both a car object and a truck object should go in a base class (named Auto or Vehicle). Make sense? You could apply the same logic to:

          Shape
     /      |       \
Ellipse Rectangle Triangle
   |        |
Circle   Square

And:

  Animal
 /   |  \
Dog Cat Horse

Size of blank character in printf in MFC

Hello board, I want to print 10 columns in a list box so that it seems visually they are ordered in columns.
I use this code:

<br />
---       ------     ------     ------<br />
---       ------     ------     ------<br />
---       ------     ------     ------<br />
sInfo.Format(_T("%5d"), i);<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d1),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d2),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d3),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d4),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d5),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d6),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d7),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d8),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%9.3f   ")), m_d9),<br />

Now , when I use this code deponding on number of significant digits in the double number, columns shift either to left or right(if number of digits are less than above row the whole row shifts to left and vice versa).
but when I use this code:

<br />
sInfo.Format(_T("%5d"), i);<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d1),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d2),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d3),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d4),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d5),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d6),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d7),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d8),<br />
sInfo.AppendFormat(_T("%09.3f   ")), m_d9),<br />

everything becomes as I desire. I explain it in this way that size of blank characters that are placed in the first code is less than size of other digits. I actually do not like to see these zeros here(I wouldn't complain if these zeros were at right side of my bank account but not here Wink | ;)

).
Is there anyway that blank characters be printed with the same size of other digits? thanks.

You could use a fixed-pitch font for the listbox:

// In constructor
LOGFONT logFont;
memset(&logFont, 0, sizeof(logFont));
logFont.lfHeight = -10;
logFont.lfWeight = FW_NORMAL;
logFont.lfPitchAndFamily = FIXED_PITCH | FF_MODERN;
//_tcscpy(logFont.lfFaceName, _T("some font name"));
m_fixedfont.CreateFontIndirect(&logFont);
...
// In OnInitDialog or OnCreate()
m_ListBox.SetFont(&m_fixedfont, FALSE);
 
// Test if it looks good :)
m_ListBox.AddString(_T("0.01   123.12"));
m_ListBox.AddString(_T("0.01    23.12"));
m_ListBox.AddString(_T("0.01     3.12"));
m_ListBox.AddString(_T("0.01   123.12"));
m_ListBox.AddString(_T("0.01   123.12"));

Why not just use a list control (in report mode)?

hi all.

i am trying to output two windows using GLUT and for some reasons, only one window can be rendered at a time. when i try to output two windows, the application just flashes and closes immediately. i comment out on or the other window creating (glutCreateWindow) line, it works by outputting one window..

so my question is if it is possible to create two windows simultaneously and if yes, how??

CArray - tripple array fails size assertion [modified]

I canot make CArray work in three dimensions.
Here is the code snippet

definitions

typedef CArray<double,double&> CDataArray; //single
typedef CArray<CDataArray, CDataArray&> CDDataArray; // double
typedef CArray<CDDataArray, CDDataArray&> CDDDataArray; // tripple

CDataArray m_D_Data_Array;
CDDataArray m_DD_Data_Array;
CDDDataArray m_DDD_Data_Array;

size initialization

m_D_Data_Array.SetSize(10,10);
m_DD_Data_Array.SetSize(10,10);
m_DDD_Data_Array.SetSize(10,10);

code
int size = m_D_Data_Array.GetSize(); // size = 10
size = m_DD_Data_Array.GetSize(); // size = 10
size = m_DDD_Data_Array.GetSize(); // size = 10 !!!

m_D_Data_Array.SetAtGrow(itemIndex,data); // pass
m_DD_Data_Array[iSample].SetAtGrow(itemIndex,data); // pass
m_DDD_Data_Array[idataType][iSample].SetAtGrow(itemIndex,data); // fails

It fails in assertion
index < m_size
with size = 0, but my m_DDD_Data_Array.GetSize(); returns correct size of 10 elements.

Am I out of luck with using tripple CArray??
I actually need up to six dimensions, so is it time to learn vectors?
Or am I going to run into same problem?

Thanks for reading.

Progress Control difference in Editor vs. Runtime

I am using VS 2005 on Vista and creating a proress bar. The progress bar in the editor has a glassy, fancy look to it, but during runtime, I end up seeing the regular old flat Progress bar.

Is this just in Vista? It bothers me how I am tricked by that. It is not WYSIWYG.

I am porting a large Borland C++ application to MFC and C# and am trying to make cleaner and fancier UI where possible. Perhaps I may end up using .NET to get the nicer look for this dialog.
