PLEEEASE!!! HELP ME NOW OR I'M FIRED!!! HOW DO I...

Perhaps you could open the file binary, get the length, then
read it all into a CString by calling CString::GetBufferSetLength()
first with the size of the file.

Thanks a million folks! If we could only meet, I'd buy a round for everybody, hehe!

Being a complete and unadulterated newbie, I've tried hard to find information before posting here, only to find out that (in some cases) I didn't look hard enough. Your comments and replies to my questions were a great help.

Just thought I'd thank you folks and give you a little feedback. You are appreciated! Rose | [Rose]

Cool! - a nice warm fuzzie to end the work week! Thanks for the thanks - and for putting my name in such good company! (Ed. No, Tim, we don't have a brown nosed emoticon). Smile | :)

Well, thank you. Smile | :)

I'm glad it's come together for you, and that I was able to help. As I didn't get the chance to go to Uni, I am 'self educated', which is usually a misnomer - it means I had no formal education, but relied heavily on books and forums like this one. It is gratifying to know I am able to offer the sort of help that got me going when I was starting out.

Uppercase --- Urgent

2-Mar-01 6:34

Hi,
I am writing a string class in VC++.I am using array to take user input and to display them to the user.
1.in one function I want to change the complete input to uppercase.
2.In second function I want to change first character to uppercase.
I am giving code for my main class.
main()
{
String A;
cout<<"enter Words:";
String Sentence[ArSize];
char temp[MaxLen];
int i;
int wordLen;
for(i=0;i

CSplitterWnd and CMDIFrameWnd

2-Mar-01 9:30

Make a loop. Search for spaces and other characters (like brackets).
Make the next character uppercase, then search for the next character
after that that is a space...

void _MakeSentenceCase(CString& sNewName)
{
	// start with the first char then every char after a space
	int iChar = 0, iLen;
	//sNewName.MakeLower(); // may not want this
	iLen = sNewName.GetLength();
	char charUpper;
	while (iChar < iLen) {
		// get the char
		charUpper = sNewName.GetAt(iChar);
		// move past brackets
		if ((charUpper != '(') && (charUpper != '[')) {
			// convert to upper
			charUpper = *strupr(&charUpper);
			// set the char in the string to the upper char
			sNewName.SetAt(iChar, charUpper);
			// find the next space
			iChar = sNewName.Find(" ", iChar);
		}
		// move to the char after the space
		iChar++;
		// if a space was not found then leave
		if (iChar == 0)
			break;
	}
}

HTH,
Daniel

Does anyone know how to create a CSplitterWnd within a CMDIFrameWnd, with only one view (at the left side), and the CMDIFrameWnd at the right side??? Confused | :confused:

Overlaying icons in CTreeCtrl

If you're looking to have a docking view (or just a dockbar)
on the left and the MDICLIENT on the right check out www.datamekanix.com.

In the CTreeCtrl you can define 15 icons as overlay icons. (Common controls > v4.71)
But as far as I know you can't combine two or more of them.

This means that if you need a combination of two overlays,
you also need to define the combined overlay icon.

This means that if you want to combine every icon with each other
- with 15 possible overlay icons - you can only define 4 different icons.
The rest of the 15 'places' is occupied by the combinations.

Does anyone ever did "CTreeCtrl icon overlaying" himself?

Geert.

I want to know books to introduce about commnication.

C++ Language - initialising arrays

Search MSDN for CHARFORMAT2.

A quick C++ language question for you experts - if I have a class X with no default destructor, and I want to declare an array of Xs as a member of class Y, how do I do it - the Xs must be initialised in the constructor initialiser list of Y:Y(), but there doesn't seem to be a way of initialising an array in a constructor initialiser list, although I've searched Stroustrup etc. and it doesn't specifically say that you can't do it, just doesn't say how.

Any offers

so u want to embed a class within another class and init some array in the embedded class?

just write a constructor for the embedded class that fills the array with the necessary values

Re: NO NO NO - I'm not the idiot !

I want to embed an array of objects of type X in class Y. Why don't you read the question? I also don't like being called an idiot by someone who apparently can't read, and apparently can't write either.

You could try init your array of objects in a loop or something like this:

ClassX *MyClassXObejcts[SIZE];

for ( int x=0 ; x < = SIZE-1 ; x++ )

MyClassXObjects[x] = new ClassX( .... );

Now you will call the constructor of ClassX size-times. Within every call of the constructor you can init each ClassX own array.

Hope that is what you are looking for

Yes indeed - that is actually what I have done to 'get around' the problem. But I am puzzled that I can't do what I actually want to do, which is initialise the array in the initialiser list. It isn't even possible to initialise an array of integers in the initialiser list, and this seems to me to be a 'hole' in the language definition.

Dave

Simon Capewell2-Mar-01 2:30

It's kind of a hole, but filling it would cause inconsistancies

class X
{
X(char* c);
};

class Y
{
Y() : ???
{}

X x[100];
}

How would we specify the initializer for all the elements in x?
x("Blah") tries to apply the constructor for X on the array itself - a type mismatch. You are also only able to initialise all the elements to the same value, which you can do with a default constructor on X anyway.

x[0]("Blah"), x[1]("Blah")... initialises each element individually, which would be pretty tedious for a very large array!

So the best solution was to not provide a mechanism for doing this and force you to workaround the problem.

Thanks Simon, that makes sense. The main thing is you've confirmed that it can't be done, and it's not just that I couldn't find out how to do it.
I appreciate your making the point about signatures too, in your other message. Thanks.
