C / C++ / MFC

10-Jan-03 15:24

Hi. This is a continuation of the ? before. I just can't seem to compile the program.

I had a program with CClass and CBaseClass classes DONE without Template and it works fine. Now I changed things to:

template<class x=""> CBaseClass
{
...
}

Outside the template the functions are in..

template<class x=""> void CBaseClass<x>::Function()
{
...
}

I know the base baseclass declaration is OK

AND

template<class x=""> CClass: public CBaseClass<x>
{
//I tried several syntax for the constructor and other fuunctions

CClass();
virtual ~CClass();

OR

CClass():CBaseClass<x>();
virtual ~CClass():CBaseClass<x>();

void Function():CClass<x>::Function()

//Both don't work

}

Outside the template the functions are in..

template<class x=""> CClass<x>::CClass()
{

}

...

Now because everything worked before, and I only added the syntax for the template, I know that it must be the syntax or something.

The compiler error is:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ...

What I really need is exactly what the syntax needs to be. I can't find this anywhere at the moment. What I changed seemed very straight forward.

Appreciate any help to clearing this syntax up. Thanks!!

Please repost and check the Display this message as-is (no HTML) box so your template params show up properly.

Hi Michael.

Thanks for the patience and help thus far.

From what I can see, only the template declaration and the Constructor for the derived class has different syntax. The others look normal template syntax. I tried this but am getting:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport<class CCircBufferT<float,struct _DATA_STRUCTURE_> >::~CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport<class CCircBufferT<float,struct _DATA_STRUCTURE_> >(void)" (?
?1?$CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport@V?$CCircBufferT@MU_DATA_STRUCTURE_@@@@@@UAE@XZ)

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void __thiscall CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport<class CCircBufferT<float,struct _DATA_STRUCTURE_> >::EndCoilReport(class CString,struct _RECOILING_COIL_REPORT_HOLDER_ *)" (?EndCoilR
eport@?$CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport@V?$CCircBufferT@MU_DATA_STRUCTURE_@@@@@@UAEXVCString@@PAU_RECOILING_COIL_REPORT_HOLDER_@@@Z)

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport<class CCircBufferT<float,struct _DATA_STRUCTURE_> >::CTCRSSRecoilCoilReport<class CCircBufferT<float,struct _DATA_STRUCTURE_> >(void)" (??0?$CTCRS
SRecoilCoilReport@V?$CCircBufferT@MU_DATA_STRUCTURE_@@@@@@QAE@XZ)

...

from the locations where I am calling the classes. I am not sue what this means unless the way you call it is different then normal template calling (Which is different only in declaration).

I am not sure what the Link 2001 error means. I know that the program did work right before. It seems like the program is getting errors from just calling the classes so I must not be declaring things right somewhere.

Thanks.

See Why do I get a link error when compiling my templates?[^]

The code for all template classes and methods has to be in header files so it's available to all translation units (CPP files), same as inline functions.

Every build destroys my gif resource

12-Jan-03 4:48

Hi Michael.

I tried this. I ended PUT ALL the functions insides the template itself all in the header file. But it is still the same Link 2001 unresolved external symbol error. I can't understand it. I never had to put all the functions in the template in the heade file if it is not derived from it. It works fine.

I am really confused now as to what is actually the problem. It must be syntax. Right now I just want to change it to this class and its derived class to a template. I am not actually using the <class X> part yet meaning it should still work as before without the template declarations.

Any other ideas? Appreciate your help through this

Of course not. The whole point of C+A+D is that it's secure - when you press it, only the OS responds to it.

Believe me:

if you want to catch Ctrl+Alt+Del you must do one of this things:

1. Create a Gina DLL.
2. Get a Gina DLL from somewhere.

the reason is clear:
In order to be secure its forbidden to get acces directly from an app to the Login part of the OS.
You've got to do it via a GINA that must be installed in the OS copying it somewhere and giving it's right path in the registry.
Take a look at the MSDN in order to find out more.

hope this helps...

unique id...

I want a standard C++ way to generate a unique id. Is there a way, I can do it without using Windows API or MFC - just C++ and STL.

If you guys know anyway to do this, please let me know. Thanks.

this could work:

srand(time());
short id[numBytes / 2];
for (int i=0;i < numBytes / 2;i++)
{
  id[i] = rand();
}

as long as numBytes is sufficiently long, you'll probably never repeat an ID.

or, try : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcedcom/htm/cerefcocreateguid.asp[^]

Fun with std::map

Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble with a std::map object I'm trying to use. Can any STL guys out there see something I'm doing wrong in my code. I've been debugging this for a couple hours now, stepping through STL code (which isn't fun!).

All I'm trying to do is associate a structure with a string. So, I insert a value_type with a string and a structure, then I try to look up the exact same string, and I get an invalid iterator. One wierd thing, is that it works perfectly for the first item I insert. Looking at the guts of the tree, I can see that the second object is there, it just checks the wrong side of the tree when it goes to look it up Confused | :confused:

// Some definitions...
typedef basic_string<TCHAR> CTCharString;
struct CTCharStringLess : public binary_function<CTCharString, CTCharString, bool>
{
    bool operator()(const CTCharString& x, const CTCharString& y) const
    {
      return _tcscmp( x.c_str(), y.c_str() );
    }
};

typedef struct tagFoo
{
   long Bar;
}Foo;

typedef map<CTCharString,Foo,CTCharStringLess> CStdMapStringToStruct;

// Inside the code
CStdMapStringToStruct MyMap;
Foo stMyStruct;
 
// Insert the first item.
MyMap.insert( CStdMapStringToStruct::value_type( _T("dummy_item", stMyStruct ) );
 
// This line finds the correct item.
CStdMapStringToStruct::iterator oIter = MyMap.find( _T("dummy_item") );
 
// Insert a second item.
MyMap.insert( CStdMapStringToStruct::value_type( _T("dummy_item_2"), stMyStruct ) );
 
// Why doesn't this line find the item????
oIter = MyMap.find( _T("dummy_item_2") );

Thanks,

Chris Richardson

i suspect :

return _tcscmp( x.c_str(), y.c_str() );

should be
return _tcscmp( x.c_str(), y.c_str() ) < 0;

Hey all, me again Smile | :)

i started a new thread because (thanks to all the cpians) i figured out the initial parts of the app i needed, and now its onto the next issue I have Smile | :)

to keep people from exiting my app , i need to disable all the ctrl-alt-delete , altf4 stuff, and the ::pretranslatemessage stuff is not quite robust enough for me Smile | :)

so apparently i need to create a system wide keyboard hook.....

i have no idea how to start.

please help Smile | :)

System Wide KH only can be in a DLL so...

STEPS:
1. You must create a DLL.
2. Declare a static callback function:

static LRESULT CALLBACK HookTeclatLL(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam);

3. Create a f(x) that you'll export in order to start/stop that hook depending on a boolean parameter:

Setting the hook:hHookTeclat = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL, HookTeclatLL, hInstDLLSCT, NULL);

Unhooking:
if(hHookTeclat != NULL)
{
  UnhookWindowsHookEx(hHookTeclat);
  return true;
}

4. in the static callback f(x)...

static LRESULT CALLBACK HookTeclatLL(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
	if (nCode == HC_ACTION)
  {
		switch (wParam)
    {
			case WM_KEYDOWN:
      case WM_SYSKEYDOWN:
      case WM_KEYUP:
      case WM_SYSKEYUP:
			{
				LPKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT p = (LPKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT)lParam;
				bool bEliminarPressioTecla = false;

				// Paquet de tecles independents (hi hagi o no apretat ALT/Ctrl... s'eliminen de la cua de pressions de tecles).
				bEliminarPressioTecla =	((p->vkCode == VK_RWIN) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_LWIN) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_ESCAPE) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_F1) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F2) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F3) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F4) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F5) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F6) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F7) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F8) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F9) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F10) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F11) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_F12) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_CANCEL) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_RBUTTON) || 
																(p->vkCode == VK_PAUSE) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_SNAPSHOT) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_APPS) ||
																(p->vkCode == VK_SCROLL));

					// En cas que no s'hagi eliminat la tecla fins ara...
				if (!bEliminarPressioTecla)
				{
					// Paquet de tecles amb combinació amb ALT.
					if ((p->flags & LLKHF_ALTDOWN) != 0)
					{
						bEliminarPressioTecla = (p->vkCode == VK_TAB);
					}

					if ((p->flags & MOD_WIN) != 0)
					{
						bEliminarPressioTecla = true;
					}
				}

				if (bEliminarPressioTecla) 
				{
					return 1; IMPORTANT! in order to avoid that keystroke to be used...
				}

				break;
			}
		}
	}

	return CallNextHookEx(hHookTeclat, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}

I didn't wanted to format all that code... copy it and examine it outside the web page...

Hope this helps...

I'll go to sleep...
