Hi, is there a simple way to program complex equations in MFC AppWizard(exe)??? For the equation z = z^2 + c, where 'z' and 'c' is (r + i), I was able to program it like this:

//r2 and i2 the user gives the values for
//r and i are the 'x' and 'y' values on the complex plain
//r5 and i5 is the final 'z' value
r3 = (r2 * r2) + (-(i2 * i2));
i3 = (i2 * r2) + (i2 * r2);

r5 = r3 + r;
i5 = i3 + i;

r2 = r5;
i2 = i5;

I need the final answer in complex form (r + i) so I may be able to put those values back into the equation as 'r2' and 'i2'... I want a simpler way to do this so I can use bigger equations like:
z = ((z^5 + c)/(z^3 + z^2 + z + 1)) + sin(z)

Thanks...

Use the Standard C++ complex class.

#include <complex>
std::complex<double> z, c;
//...
z = std::pow(z, 2) + c;
//...

How would I get the 'r' and 'i' values from the 'z'???

How would I get the Real and Imaginary values from the 'z'???

double real, imag;
complex cplx;
T = complex(1.0, 2.0)
real = cplx.real();   /* returns the real part of cplx */
imag = cplx.imag();   /* returns the imaginary part of cplx */

It gives me an error saying 'complex' is "undeclared identifier"...
What I need to do after I got 'z' is this:

Final = abs(pow(pow(z[REAL PART], 2) + pow(z[IMAGINARY PART], 2), 0.5));

'double Final' is a single value...

Thanks...

#include <complex>
using namespace std;
double final;
complex<double> z(1.0, 2.0);

// final = abs(sqrt(pow(z.real(), 2) + pow(z.imag(), 2)));
final = abs(z);

pow(x, 0.5) is the same as sqrt(x).
abs(z) where z is a complex number calculates the same value as your formula.

When I do the calculations this way:

z = (2, 3);
c = (-4, -5);
z = std::pow(z, 2) + c;
Final = abs(sqrt(pow(z.real(), 2) + pow(z.imag(), 2)));

I get a different answer than this:

r2 = 2; i2 = 3;
r = -4; i = -5;
r3 = (r2 * r2) + (-(i2 * i2));
i3 = (i2 * r2) + (i2 * r2);
r5 = r3 + r;
i5 = i3 + i;
r2 = r5;
i2 = i5;
Final = abs(pow(pow(r5, 2) + pow(i5, 2), 0.5));

The second way seems to give me the correct answer... Thanks...

Nevermind, I figured it out... I had "complex<double> z = (2, 3);" instead of "complex<double> z(2, 3);"...

Dialog Box Question

When a modal dialog box is closed using EndDialog does it's parent window recieve a message to notify it that the dialog has closed? I want to update some info in my status bar as soon as the dialog is closed.

Thanks in advance,
Paddy

If this is MFC, then DoModal returns only when EndDialog is called. If this is a non-MFC modal dialog you created by calling DialogBox, then DialogBox won't return till EndDialog is called.

Thanks for the help. It's non-MFC I'm using. Does this mean that my main window can't do anything until EndDialog is called?

Yup, your main window will be frozen. An alternative is to use a modeless dialog, or use threads.

crash with push_back for vector

nss9-Feb-03 7:58

9-Feb-03 7:58

What am I doing wrong? I want to read the names from a file and put them onto a vector of char*......it crashes at the pushback. Each file name is on a different line.

I did a dir/b in dos and got a txt file with a list of file names (a bunch of .bmps) from the directory. I assume theres carriage returns at the end of each line. But maybe not. There are 18 letters in the name08FEB096_9571s.bmp, and carriage return line feed is 1 byte (MSDN).

CFile file;

std::vector<char*> fileVec;

file.Open("c:\\miss\\SImages.txt", CFile::modeRead, 0);

char* pBuf;

char folder[200];

strcpy(folder , "C:\\miss\\");

for (int i = 0; i <96; i++)
{

    pBuf = new char[200];

    file.Read( pBuf,20);

    strcat(folder, pBuf);

    fileVec.push_back(folder);

    delete[] pBuf;
}


file.Close();

It was avector of CString. However my problem was that I was using CFile when CStdioFile was more suitable and I had overwritten some buffers, but the poor vector got blamed....

Thanks. Smile | :)

CFile file;
change std::vector fileVec;
to std::vector<string> fileVec;

Move strcpy(folder,"c:\\miss\\");
to For Statement

for (int i = 0; i <96; i++)	{		
    strcpy(folder , "C:\\miss\\");	
    pBuf = new char[200];			
    file.Read( pBuf,20);		
    strcat(folder, pBuf);		
    fileVec.push_back(folder);		
    delete[] pBuf;	
}

Nobody explained the reason for the crash...Without the unimportant stuff, here is what the code looks like. Do you see the problem?

char folder[200];
strcpy(folder , "C:\\miss\\");
for (int i = 0; i <96; i++)
{
...
strcat(folder, pBuf);
...
}

thanks everyone!!!

reading a string from a file with CFile Read()

nss9-Feb-03 6:40

nss

9-Feb-03 6:40

I have a file with several lines of text (all end with a carriage return). I want to use my CFile object to read these strings into an array of pointers to char. I dont see a anything like GetLine()....if I dont know the length of the text on the line, I dont have a value to give Read() as a count of chracters...
Actually I'm push_backing the strings onto a vector...

Calling functions in DLL

Hi,

I got a DLL (not MFC) with some functions in it. The header file containing the declaration for the functions of the DLL is also available.

Is there a way to call these functions in a static way other than using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress ?

Thanks

Re: Calling functions in DLL

Roman Nurik9-Feb-03 5:29

yes, include the header file:

#include "MyDllBase.h"

and link the project with the output .LIB file for the DLL

under project settings->linker->input, add "MyDllBase.lib"

SIMPLE db example

Hi!

I have tried to find a simple way to manipulate a database (in MS Access or MS SQL Server). However, I've not succeeded. I've tried SELECT statements with CRecordset and it works. But it seems like only SELECT statements work. This is what I've tried:

CDaoDatabase* m_pDB;
CDaoRecordset* m_pRS;
m_pDB = new CDaoDatabase;
m_pRS = new CDaoRecordset(m_pDB);

try {
m_pDB->Open("c:\\accessdb\\db1.mdb");
// CString strQuery = _T("SELECT * FROM Table1"); //Works just fine...
CString strQuery = _T("INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES ('3', 'Olga')"); //Doesn't work
m_pRS->Open(dbOpenDynaset, strQuery);
} catch (CDaoException* e) {
AfxMessageBox(e->m_pErrorInfo->m_strDescription);
e->Delete();
}

So how do you add data to a table, modify tables and so on?

Cheers,
Joachim
