no, I mean give me some advices for learning Visual C++.

Start small, and work your way into larger problems. There are so many fundamental things you can do with a simple dialog. Reading books and Web sites are fine, but it sounds as though you just need to jump in and get your hands dirty using the IDE and compiler.
How about something easy like:

| /---------\ /--------\ |

I really enjoyed your answer . could you please give me some problems or some thing that you recommend for beginning . I know C++ but I'm not good at Visual C++.
tnx

Is it just programming for windows using Visual C++ you want to learn, or do you need to learn C++ as well?
You know it's hard to recommend something since you've read one of the most basic books out there and you "didn't enjoy it" (whatever that means).

I have an TCHAR array,
my buf:
TCHAR szBuf[MAX_PATH] = _T("buf");
a function;
void DealFunc(char *pStr);
I wanna use DealFunc, help me how to use it!
Hope I make the question clear!
|
|
|
|
|
like this;
DealFunc( szBuf );
Love
|
|
|
|

But if compiled with _UNICODE, it would not pass.
Is it the only way to do like this?
char szBuf1[MAX_PATH * 2];
#if defined(_UNICODE) || defined(UNICODE)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, szBuf, -1, szBuf1, MAX_PATH * 2);
#else
sprintf(szBuf1, szBuf);
#endif
DealFunc( szBuf1 );
|
|
|
|
|
yes, I think this is the only way.
char szBuf1[MAX_PATH * 2];
#if defined(_UNICODE) || defined(UNICODE)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, szBuf, -1, szBuf1, MAX_PATH * 2);
#else
strcpy(szBuf1, szBuf);
#endif
DealFunc( szBuf1 );

First of all, I recommend you to read this article - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/cppstringguide1.aspx[^]

1) If UNICODE is not defined in your project, the TCHAR will expand to char and you can directly call DealFunc() since it expects char*.
2) Well, If your project have UNICODE defined, then your TCHAR will expand to wchar_t and in that case you cannot call DealFunc() because it signature is to accept char*.
Solutions
1) Change your function signature to TCHAR.
void DealFunc(char *pStr);
2) Change your buffer to char
char szBuf[MAX_PATH] = "buf";
3) If you don't want to change either of these, convert your unicode string to ansi and call your DealFunc(). Check this link - http://weseetips.com/2008/05/07/how-to-convert-unicode-to-ascii-and-vice-versa-more-easily/[^]
Did i explained too much details?

#include <atlconv.h>
TCHAR szBuf[MAX_PATH] = _T("buf");
USES_CONVERSION;
DealFunc( T2A( szBuf ));
T2A/W2A converts from unicode to ansi and T2W/A2W converts from ansi to unicode.

You would really recommend him to do something like that? I thought one must either stick to generic text mappings, or NOT. But that's my opinion.

Reason being that it might be a external library API which he cannot modify and just in case if he can modify the prototype of this function then the parameter should be changed to TCHAR form.

Exactly!
But I agree, it has happened to me more than once that I have to write sub standard code, only because then it would work with some existing component or framework, whose source is closed to me. I hate it.

The right way is to make your DealFunc(TCHAR *pStr);
so you are independent to what TCHAR expands. Everything else is a bad barter.
Believe me: I am actually changing a lot of my code because I need it to be Unicode compatible.

If you are using Generic-Text Mappings, learn all the conventions and stick to the rules. Don't mix and match TCHAR with char.

DealFunc is thirdparty code, can't modify it!
So I ask the wired question!

When I call function lstrlenA in kernel32.dll error.
------------------------------------------
typedef long(*Myfun)(long);
Myfun pfun;
HMODULE hMod;
BOOL bRes;
hMod = LoadLibrary("kernel32.dll");
pfun = (Myfun)GetProcAddress(hMod,"lstrlenA");
long t1 = 3434;//example
long t2 = (pfun)(t1);//this is Error !!!
getch();
bRes = FreeLibrary(hMod);
-------------------------------------------
thanks very much.

Here is the prototype of lstrlen,
int lstrlen( LPCTSTR lpString
);
Implemented as ANSI and Unicode versions
And lstrlenA can be
int lstrlenA( LPCSTR lpString
);
You should use a string ptr not a long number to use lstrlen!
try this:
CHAR buf[MAX_PATH] = "hello";
lstrlenA(buf);
