There is no reason to do so (use extern) in such cases. Doing so does neither harm nor good; the two constructs are equivalent. I wouldn’t in cases like that however as it could lead to confusion.

I think this[^] article is helpful for you.

Thanks Hamid,
But it does not cover the case when using extern to qualify a variable which is defined in the same compile unit.

Doing so is poinless and possibly misleading, but harmless.

How do I disable a toolbar button?
Also I'd like to know how to disable some buttons in my context menu?
Please make an example for me.
Thanks!!!

If you're using raw toolbars then the TB_ENABLEBUTTON is probably what you're after. If you using MFC I believe the "MFC magic" should take care of this for you.

I am not sure if this is the place to ask this question.
I have been working on learning C++ for about 2 years now.
A year ago i got tired of it all , so i made a comprimise and went to visual C++ 6.0 (didnt want to go to that because i wanted the most efficiancy i could get) and recently bought Visual Studio 2005. I have bought so many books and read so many of them. They all leave me with a gap. I learn how to do the simple things , but not teaching me where to go next. I can make text based console applications till the cows come home , I am very good at using most C++ features , Classes , pointers , not the best at them , but i still know enough to get by.
BUT the books , articles , programs , what ever i use never tell me how to take the next step to make "real" program that has a GUI.
I have even went to using the Windows Forms to design GUI , but have discovered even that didnt take me far enough.
None of my books have taught me how to use libraries , or antyhing like that. I was told i had to use these to get somewhere , but no idea where to go.
I want to make programs to help people , remember meds , manage health problems.
I want to make programs to plan gardens , where you have like a graph background and can drag and drop pictures of plants.
I want to make a jigsaw puzzle game.....
This stuff isnt rocket science i know , i just dont know the steps to go to learn the extra stuff so i can make windows programs GUI that i can have all of this stuff in.
Does any one have any ideas where i can go from here. Books i can read , sugestions i can take , articles to read.
I am great at making programs in PHP , because i can use the HTML as the gui.
I want this so bad , to be able to make programs , and am willing to work for it , i just need to have an idea where the path is i need to go down.
Thank you very much for reading this.
And thank you even more if you reply LOL.

dont give up - there's a whole host of ways to go from where you are - there's GDI, GDI+, OpenGL, glut and a host of libraries people have written for games etc that use advanced graphics
.. let google be your friend !!!

I've been where you are but I was lucky. Your next step is to take one step back, to C (or C style C++), and write your first Win32 GUI Hello World application, not because it's that easy but because it's the only way to really understand MS Windows GUI programming and will set you up to understand what all the easier ways, MFC, Windows Forms etc are really doing underneath. The Win32 documentation on MSDN is your friend and there are (or were) relevant samples around although I can't pin one down at the minute. The basic steps are, create an empty project that's set up as a Win32 GUI app rather than a Console app, with the VS 2005 wizard. From your WinMain function, Initialize and register a Window Class [^] (Different from a C++ class but one can sort of be the other), Create a Window [^] of that class and handle some of the messages you recieve in the Window Procedure[^] (a callback function) that you registered. Use functions from the GDI library to do text and graphical output as suggested.
Good Luck
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

The error pretty much says it all. Is the lib file present on your machine? If so is the library search path set correctly?
Steve

thanks, yes, i created this library with this main function,this library is static library,when i compiled both library and main function, they have no problem, but after dependency, the following problem occurred, can you provide me with detail and base setting, thanks a lot.

It sounds like you've set the dependencies incorrectly. The project that uses the library should be dependent on the library.
Steve

how to set dependency? before i did, it is no problem...can you give me detail? thanks

You haven't mentioned which IDE you're using.

Select "Dependencies..." from the "Project" menu.
Steve

i did it there, and dependency it, i already finished this.

The project that uses the lib should be dependent on the project which builds it. Make sure the lib exists AND the search path is set correctly.

Hi all,
I have calculated an int value using one of function in my application. Every 10 seconds interval this value is calculated. I want to add those vale in a buffer, in descending order.
Like this,
if the 1st value is 12 : buffer is 12
if the 2nd value is 17 : buffer is 17, 12
if the 3rd value is 9 : buffer is 17, 12, 9
.....
....
I thin it is clear now for you.
What is the most easiest way to do this. I've try to check the each value of the bufferbefore adding the new value. But if there is large number of values, it seems take more time.
I appreciate your help all the time...

Just add them to a vector or a list.

Thanks a lot. Actually I use priority_queue for that. But the most difficult part I have to do there is make a string from the queue. Have to code more lines to me. 
But it works fine 
I appreciate your help all the time...
