There are a number of format codes that you can use in the normal watch window which may give you some of what you want.
For instance, if you know the address of a memory block that you want to view (for example, memory at 0x01f0000), you can enter in the watch window something like:
0x01f0000,m
This will display 16 bytes of memory at the location 0x1f0000.
ma = 64 ASCII characters
m = 16 bytes hex, followed by 16 ASCII
mb = 16 bytes hex, followed by 16 ASCII
mw = 8 words
md = 4 double words
mq = 2 quad words
mu = 2-byte characters (unicode)
In addition, su displays a unicode string.
You can get the rest of the watch window or Quick watch codes under "Symbols for Watch Variables"
Best regards,

Anyone knowns how to get the IGPEInformation interface?
Seems not to be implemented by any object.
Or, is my fear that I have to implement this interface right?

Hi all,
I'm using the WinInet api to download a file from an ftp server which works fine. What does not work fine however is that when (for testing purposes) I kill the connection (both data and control channels) or shutdown the server FtpGetFile() does not return an error like it should.
I also tried to use FtpOpenFile() and InternetReadFile(). This method downloads files fine. However it displays the same probs: when i kill the connection, etc InternetReadFile returns TRUE.
In all cases both GetLastError and InternetGetLastResponseInfo are returning 0, i.e. no error.
Is there some way I can detect when a download has failed (either when using FtpGetFile or InternetReadFile) short of writing an ftp client or comparing the file sizes (a very inelegant solution).
10x for ur help

Me and my friend were having a discussion abt when a class can be called a wrapper class..
eg:
Class CA
{
void SenttoPort(char * tstr);
}
Class CB: Class CA
{
void SendFrame(char Header, char Tail, char Body);
}
void CB::SendFrame(char Header, char Tail, char Body)
{
// format the header tail and body into one string
// temp = header + body+tail
Sendtoport(temp);
}
My doubt is , if a class (CB) is derived from another class (CA), and uses the member function of the parent class (CA), in a member function of its own which accepts different parameteres depending upon the problem domain,(as in the function SendFrame()), can we call the class (CB) as a Wrapper Class of class CA.
Please answer this question and if you can't understand the prob I face please define as to when we can call a class a wrapper of another class.
If you want a helping hand, you'll find one at the edof your arm.

In my understanding, a wrapper class is one that provides an emulation of the interface for one class, but using the code for another.
For example, back in the days that 3dfx graphics cards were popular, many people created "glide wrappers" which provided a dll with the same interface as the 3dfx graphics card libraries (called glide), but translated the calls into something that could run on a machine without a 3dfx card (opengl, directx, or the api functions for a different chipset)

A wrapper class usually in my mind is a class that wraps existing functionality. For example, CDC is a wrapper class - it wraps the functionality we get using HDC's and Win32 API functions into a class object.

So, can i take that, the class that encapsulates Win32 api in it is the only type of class that we can call a wrapper class...so if i derive a class that enhances the existing classes then it cannot be called as a wrapper class...!
is it true.....?
Thanks for ur interest

I don't know about that, but certainly if class B derives from class A, I would not call class B a wrapper class, no.

As I understand it, a "wrapper" class is simply a way to put a new front-end on a piece of code. I have never seen a formal definition of it, so you can call it CB a wrapper if you really want.
A common situation is where a set of C functions (like the GDI example above) is wrapped by a very simple C++ class. Like a "wrapper" in real life, a wrapper class generally adds very little functionality to what it wraps (maybe some cleanup in the destructor, etc.). It's really just a grouping or packaging.

You could name your example class as a "wrapper", but strictly speaking this is not what wrapper usually refers to in the design patterns literature. A wrapper (aka adaptor) is a class that conforms to a given interface using the services of another, non-related class that actually does the stuff. Here's an example. Consider the following interface (or abstract class in C++ terminlogy):
class stream
{
virtual void write(const char* data,size_t len)=0;
virtual size_t read(char * data,size_t len)=0;
};Now suppose we got the following class for handling sockets:
class TCPsocket
{
void send(const char* data,size_t len);
void recv(const char* data,size_t len,size_t * read);
}You can see TCPsocket gives essentially the functionality required by stream, but the methods simply don't match. The following wrapper make the adjustments:
class TCPsocket_wrapper:public stream, private TCPsocket
{
void write(const char* data,size_t len)
{
send(data,len);
}
size_t read(char * data,size_t len)
{
size_t read;
recv(data,len,&read);
return read;
}
}The complexity of the adaptation could range from a simple forwarding to more elaborate rearrangements ot the arguments passed.

Dear Mr. lopez,
Thank you for your lucid description.
However, I have one small nagging issue that I need to sort out. I had defined the class CB to inherit from CA. (please refer the first link) In Cb I have mapped my send and write statements much like yours. I want to know if it is mandatory for a wrapper class, to inherit its interface from a abstract base class.
If you want a helping hand, you'll find one at the edof your arm.

Well, this is just terminology. Actually, you can call a wrapper to whatever it seems a warpper to you. But if we stay within the limits of what this idiom is defined to be in the patterns literature, then a wrapper must inherit the abstract class it adapts the preexisting object to. The key idea behind wrappers is that they allow third party components (the wrapees) to be used in another environment (that defines the interface.) If you don't derive from an abstratc class (or implement an interface in Java), then your adatation can still be used but only as an isolated component, not within a more general framework dealing with multiple implementations of the same functionality.

I've a question about this example: It opens excel and inserts an eventsink to catch the events inside excel.
HOWTO: Catch Microsoft Excel Application Events Using VC++ Q186427
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q186427
I've tried this example using an MFC-EXE, and all works fine. When you press start, the excel application shows up. Clicking with the mouse results in a event messagebox.
But, if you want to include this functionality inside an MFC-DLL, it will not work. Excel shows up alright, but when you click something or press a button, the excel application will block. After a while a messagebox shows up saying: "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."
Short: using a .exe works fine, but the .dll blocks.
Why?
What's the difference here? (I've used MFC in both cases)

I may not be correct but just a guess here..
There is nothing to do with EXE or DLL But with SINK_ENTRY macro's
Microsoft accepts Event Sinking implementation (DispEventImpl) has bugs in ATL and MFC.
And i saw this hanging problem when the signature of the function varied. Just check automation parameters across the basic and supported native types.
For Ex:
SINK_ENTRY(1, OnButtonClick)
try
OnButtonClick(_bstr_t bstrparam1, _variant_t vtParam2)
vis-versa
OnButtonClick(BSTR bstrparam1, VARIANT vtParam2)
This should not be an issue if "raw_interfaces_only" is used with #import.
Thanks,
Ramu

mmm...
you are right, it has nothing to do with the exe-dll thing.
I'm pretty shure it's a thread problem.

I write those code :
...
#include <map>
using namespace std;
map<int,int> aMap;
...
many compile warnings occur: all of warnings are same. ( c4786 )
warning C4786: '?rbegin@?$_Tree@HU?$pair@HH@std@@U_Kfn@?$map@HHU?$less@H@std@@V?$allocator@H@2@@2@U?$less@H@2@V?$allocator@H@2@@std@@QAE?AV?$reverse_bidirectional_iterator@Viterator@?$_Tree@HU?$pair@HH@st

What can I do ? I use VC++ compile the code? thanks

The warning is quite silly. Either ignore it, or add a
#pragma warning(disable:4786)
before you use any parts of the map class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two solutions come to mind:
1- Put a pragma to disable the warning
2- switch to next version of VC++

Hi
I am having trouble trying to derive one class from a template class.
I keep getting the following error when I try to derive the class CFlashText from the class CFlash.
error C2059: syntax error : ','
My code code looks like this:
Header file:
class CFlashText : public CText, public CFlash< CFlashText >
{
public:
CFlashText();
virtual ~CFlashText();
};
cpp file:
CFlashText::CFlashText()
: CText, CFlash< CFlashText > //<-- it is in this line the compiler gives me the error
{
}
CFlashText::~CFlashText()
{
}
Does anyone know why this error appears?

cpp file:
CFlashText::CFlashText(): CText, CFlash< CFlashText >
{
}
Why are u doing this?
Why not just use the second constructor?? Any const members?

CFlashText is an text object that has the ability to flash an object.
It gets the flash specific methods from CFlash and the text specific methods from CText.
CFlash flashes an object by calling draw and erase methods in the object it is flashing (here CText).
To do this it needs to know the type of the object it is flashing.
To make CFlash useable on other objects than CText I want to implement CFlash as a template.
Hereby giving it the ability to flash another object if desired.

You'll need : CText(), CFlash<CFlashText>()
|

|

Wups I forgot the () after the constructors
Thank you for helping me out.
The program compiles now
The only problem is that now it shows a linker error.
Linker errors:
FlashText.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CFlash<class cflashtext="">::CFlash<class cflashtext="">(void)" (??0?$CFlash@VCFlashText@@@@QAE@XZ)
FlashText.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall CFlash<class cflashtext="">::~CFlash<class cflashtext="">(void)" (??1?$CFlash@VCFlashText@@@@UAE@XZ)
