thats basically what im doing but my time display is sometimes not synchronous with the clock display of the computer.
|

What's the difference (in seconds) between the time you're displaying and clock and the one displayed in the system tray?

Problem seems simple, hours later and no documentation, I see I am licked. I am doing an exercise with a Win32 Console app, and I am attempting to write 2 overload functions to pass 2 similiar class objects to the function and recieve different results based on what I am passing. The parameters of the exercise are quite clear and as I have written thus far. Certainly there are better ways to code the end result, but I am not in control of the requirements.  I am passing 2 char class objects and trying to get it to do 2 different things. What I can figure out is how to beat ambiguity. What do I have to pass it in order make this work. Any help for the idiot league of programming would be appreciateed.
My code so far, notes attached Using Visual C++ compiler
#ifndef _CLASSCAT121212121212112_ // 2 classes declared a cat and a dog
#define _CLASSCAT121212121212112_
class CCat
{
public:
char* catname;
};
#endif
#ifndef _CLASSDOG5456454654656546_
#define _CLASSDOG5456454654656546_
class CDog
{
public:
char* dogname;
};
#endif
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Cat.h"
#include "Dog.h"
void speak(char* n);
void speak(char* &n);
void main()
{
CCat cat1;
CDog dog1;
cat1.catname = "Felix";
dog1.dogname = "Fido";
speak("Felix");
speak(); <--- // how do I pass the dog argument to the function? How do I differentiate the two
}
void speak(char* n)
{
cout << n << " says meow " << endl;
}
void speak() // must make the dog go woof, but how do I pass it a different argument?
// how do I overload to beat ambiguity
{
cout << d << " says woof " << endl;
}
Much Thanks, Jason K. Dove

Just a few thoughts:
void speak(char* n);
void speak(char* &n);
This is never going to work. The whole idea of a class should mean that it knows how to take care of it's own behaviour. Consider what you're trying to do here, and how this would work/look/be easy to read in a real world application. Each of your classes should have it's own 'speak' function, in the class, which 'speaks' woof or meow. The common way to do this is to have them derive from an abstract base class called Animal, then you can make an Animal * into a Dog or a Cat, and it will know how to speak. If you don't need this behaviour, then just put the speak() methods in the classes and call them from there.
void main()
{
CCat cat1; // 2 instantiations one of cat one of dog
CDog dog1;
As an aside, this comment is unnecessary. A good comment would explain *why* you've created this variables/what they are for/etc., not repeat the obvious.
I hope that helps. If not, just ask again and I'll be happy to further clarify

thank you so much for the swift reply, I'm glad I'm not the only one up
browsing the boards. I agree with all the points you made, and it certainly
is quite easier to handle with separate, 1 class called functions.
Unfortunately for me, the book I'm using seems to think it is a simple
exercise, and the parameters are quiet clear. I must perform it as I posted
it to the board. I played with the pointer to the memory location, like you
first suggested, though only briefly. I will go back and try it again. The one question that keeps popping into my mind isn't how to overload the functions. It is how to pass the different arguments. If I can figure out how to differentiate which class object I am passing, then it can work. *deep, deeeeeep sigh*
Much Appreciatively,

You *could* put a function in to the cat/dog classes that tells you what type of animal it is, and ( again ) derive from a base class. You could also use Run Time Type Identification. This is almost *always* a terrible idea, and I'm wondering why this book wants you to do things in such an ugly manner. It's not that it *can't* be done, it's that there is no reason why it *should*. If you're passing in the name of the animal and the cat/dog classes are visible to the function, then it is also easy - just write one function and check the name passed in for a known list of cats and dogs. Again, not extensible or practical, but it works in the scope of the example you're working with.

I got it. Thank you for all your help.;) It help to have perspective

Why don't you use a dummy argument in the second speak function i.e. to overload it like it is used for pre/post increment/decrement operators
void speak(char *str); //For cat object
void speak(char *str, int dummy);//For dog object
Really speaking an elegant solution is as Christian suggested using inheritance / virtual functions...

I understand you're suggesting this as a last resort to try and get the desired behaviour, but I just *have* to say for the record that I thought this to be fairly obvious, but too ugly to suggest 
I realise you're not suggesting it as a real world solution, so please don't be offended ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

No offence taken as the code is indeed ugly and does not even count as the last resort in real world probs. But as he suggested he had to do it according to the book so the suggestion...
Should include a disclaimer...

Hmm.. I think this is what your exercise want you to do!
void speak (CCat s)
{
cout << "Shut the f*** up! I'm trying to get a moment of rest here!!\n";
}
void speak (CDog s)
{
cout << "Woof!\n";
}
// ^ You overload the "speak"-function with different acts
//
// The compiler will automatically choose the "speak" matching
// your arguments.
int main [..blabla..]
{
CCat cat1;
CDog dog2;
cout << "The dog says.. ";
speak (dog1);
cout << "And the cat goes..";
speak (cat1);
}
Hope this will do the trick!

As most of you probably know, my niche is graphics. However, I spent the weekend making a VC++ add in that allows me to set named breakpoints ( I can't make the ones included work ) and it's the beginning of a system that will link into our bug tracking system, so we can log bugs and view their history from within VC. I intend to build a database that holds this information, because I want inclusion into our bug tracker to be optional. My question is, if I use ADO, can I ask it to *create* the database for me, or do I need to provide the file for it to manipulate ?
If the latter, I will need to 'install' my system and store it's location so I can copy across an empty database for each new project, but I'm hoping a more elegant solution will present itself...

With MSSQL, you could connect to master, then issue some SQL calls like "CREATE DATABASE" and you're done. But it seems you're using some file-oriented db like Jet.

... and I've also found the way to create empty Jet database using ADOX. There's an sample in Platform SDK/Data Services/MDAC SDK/ADOX Programmer Reference/Code Examples in VC/Create Method Example.

Hello, the codegurus around the world?;)
What means "create the database"?
We can put the all data in only one table.
But, this isn't good implementation of the database.
It is difficult for us to create the schema of the database, so
we need the database administrator to create the database.
As long as we create only one table to restore your data, we can use SQL statement
in ADO.
It works for me to create the new table in MSDE or Access Database.
However, if we create more tables, and use the foreign keys,
we must need to check the order of creating the table and insert the data safely.
I think that we can use SQL statement at any database class like ODBC, DAO, ADO and OLE DB.
Last, my database knowledge is a level of the database class of CIS (the graduate course).
So, I may miss something important. 
Have a nice day!

I was wondering if we can hook or if we can see what are the connections currently made on the computer? I was particulary interested in the HTTP connections on the port 80. I want to be able to know where the person is surfing in real time on the computer. I don't know if it is possible to do that.

This is possible by using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) interfaces DLL and having the same functionality of Netstate and looking at the target address when the port is 80
For source code of doing the netstat see sysInternals
TCPview
There is also ways of using your own Service Provides and trapping for all winsock functions.
Kindest regards

in ATL's CSimpleArray:
class Wrapper
{
public:
Wrapper(T& _t) : t(_t)
{
}
template <class _Ty>
void *operator new(size_t, _Ty* p)
{
return p;
}
T t;
};
void SetAtIndex(int nIndex, T& t)
{
ATLASSERT(nIndex >= 0 && nIndex < m_nSize);
new(&m_aT[nIndex]) Wrapper(t);
}

Hey Ben
This is a form of placement new. For example, the Add method makes space for the new object then calls SetAtIndex. Looks like the Wrapper class serves to provide the placement new, which allocates no space, and initialize the object by calling the ctor in the initialization list of the Wrapper constructor.
I think the basic idea behind placement new is efficiency - memory is allocated from a pool managed by the class, and new entries can be just added in and the count incremented. In this case, I guess things are additionally complicated by the templated type allocation, hence the need for the Wrapper.
There's probably a pattern here that some STL gurus would recognize - bet you could get a better explanation on comp.lang.cpp.moderated.
I'd like to understand this better myself - wonder if this kind of thing is standard practise in STL containers as well, or if there are other abtuse tricks afoot...

SetAtIndex creates new 'wrapped' object using placement new, but where's the destructor? I mean, if you call SetAtIndex and pass the index of already existing array element, the previous content should be deleted, right? Unfortunately, I don't have CSimpleArray sources - can't single-step through the code. The code posted here has a debug build index check and call to placement new.
