Probably W2K invalidates/updates window right after STM_SETIMAGE.

So you were able to fix the problem with clipboard as well?

Yes, after a long period of time (I noticed this issue on previous sunday I suppose), but I wasn't really trying to solve it Smile | :)

(I was doing more urgent things, but finally I had to fix it). Now my VBA program works correctly on Win98 and Win2000 (I'm using clipboard to create custom toolbar icons in MSOffice, as far as I know that's the only way and the first thought which came to my mind was to do this in dll, so I can combine bitmaps in one dll).

How do I do this?

I defined 2 classes - A and B;

class A {
public:
B GetB() {
return B();
}
};

class B {
public:
A GetA() {
return A();
}
};

since both classes make use of eachother, i get an "error C2501: 'A::B' : missing storage-class or type specifiers" when I try to compile.

Is this sort of thing supported with C++?

Someone else may give a better example but this is possible through inheritance.

class A
{
protected:
   int Age;
   int GetAge()
   {
      return Age;
   }
};

class B:A
{
 int f;
 void Foo(); 

};

Access to the variable Age is available as B inherits A

//===========
B b;
b::A.Age;

use a forward declaration:

class B;

class A
{
public:
   B GetB();
};

class B
{
public:
   A GetA();
};

and put implementation in the .cpp file

The class B isn't defined at the point you're trying to use it:

class A {
public:
  B GetB() { return B(); } <font color=red>// class B not defined here</font>
};

thus you get the error. Add a forward declaration of B so the compiler knows what it is:

class B; // forward declaration
 
class A { ...

At the point where you define class A compiler knows nothing about identifier B, that's why error occurs. Put this before declaration of A:
class B;
Now compiler knows that B is a class, but that's not all. To return B from function compiler must know declaration of B, so you have to return pointer to B, not object B(when compiler see pointer to class, it doesn't have to know declaration of this class). Also you can't call constructor of B at this point, so just declare function in a class A and make a definition after a declaration of class B.

To avoid this error, you can 'forward declare' class B.

class B;

class A
{
public:
   B GetB() { return B(); }
};

class B
{
public:
   A GetA() { return A(); }
};

I have listctrl with rows(vary) and 3 column
let say first column is a,second is b, third is c;
I want the data of a, b, and c of the row.
so i tried the following ways

<br />
for(int i=0;i<numberOfRow;i++) //<br />
{<br />
CString dataA = myListCtrl.GetItemText(i,0);<br />
CString dataB = myListCtrl.GetItemText(i,1);<br />
CString dataC = myListCtrl.GetItemText(i,2);<br />
<br />
// anothe method<br />
LV_ITEM lvitem;<br />
ZeroMemory(&lvitem, sizeof(lvitem));<br />
lvitem.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_STATE;<br />
lvitem.iItem = nIndex[i]; <br />
lvitem.iSubItem = 1; <br />
myListCtrl.GetItem(&lvitem); <br />
<br />
dataA = lvitem.pszText;<br />
}<br />

both ways gave me let say dataA value as junk. How can I get back my item text???

Thanks

Can't say why the first way is failing, but the second doesn't work because you're not providing a buffer for the control to store the text in. You need to set pszText and cchTextMax to the address and size of the buffer before calling GetItem().

how to give the catch block a filename?

ns1-Oct-02 9:06

1-Oct-02 9:06

If theres a problem with file strFile0 and an exception is thrown, I want the error message to have the name of the faulty file. This name is gotten in the try block. I dont think I can pass it in the catch argument:

catch(CFileException e, strFile0)
		
		{

			CString temp;

			temp.Format("Error opening file  : %d", e.m_cause);
			AfxMessageBox(temp);

			return -1;
		}
}

So how do I communicate it to my messagebox in the catch block?

Appreciate your help,

Thats convenient! You did however mean to remove the strFile0 argument I was trying to pass in, right ? I am off to look up CFileException and see what all it exposes... Smile | :)
