Somewhat of an aside, but globals are of the devil, if you must use them, you should put them into a namespace.

As a very "general" rule, you should try to avoid declaring variables in a header file, simply because every source file that includes them will re-create that variable's declaration. If you really want a global variable, you should declare it in a source file, and then when another source file needs to access or update it, declare it again in that source file using extern. Extern says "There is a variable (with memory allocated) somewhere else in the program and it looks like this." Separating your global variables like this helps to keep track of them, because you declare them in the source file where they are "owned," and then use extern for everywhere else where they are "used."
While various macros have been developed for use in header files to optionally compile or not compile the extern for variables, this is really just a confusing trick to get the compiler to do what I have described. It's only confusing to you and other programmers, because you still have to find when the original file is to find if the macro #define is made in order to get the original variable declaration.

I am trying to write a program that has an SDI interface, but has three tabs within that. Does anyone know where i can get the code for this, i have checked out the samples on this site and www.codeguru.com, but none of them use a tabbed interface.

Hi All,
I’m doing some processing in method of view(CView) and wanted to display result in my document(CDocument). Its my first application for Doc/View Architecture. I’ve created MFC SDI Application from Project Wizard of VC++ 6.0.
Please guide me for that. Also I’d like to mention that all my document would be ASCII text ya, kind of notepad application but the content would have to be displayed from background process in code of View. I’d like if someone give me direction for implementing Copy data area from that view. No need to cut and paste.
Does this SDI provide me scrolling also when the area will exceed? IS there any change need to be done to introduce scrolling?
Thanks a lot for lot of answers

Hi,
You must use the method CView::GetDocument(), that get pointer to the CDocument.

Hey Eugene,
Thanks for your answer, But I'm not aware of how to flow. What methods are used for display? Can you provide me a summery of doing this?
Say I have some thread running on my CView::OnNew(). Now this thread returns some result. And I wanted to Display this text output, in multiple lines. I wanted to provide support to copy that text also.
Thanks for all help and appritiate lot to smart piece of code for steps and overview.

It would be better to proccess the information in the document class, then you will have to create a pointer to the document class, extract your information in a function on the view class. Then obtain a dc to the window you would like to display your text in and use DC functions for displaying it. you will be able to create support for copying, as the information is stored in the document.
remember if u start a thread from the document class u will have to pass the thread the cview HWND handle if u want to send any windows messages from your thread, also it's not always possible to pass a thread a pointer such as ur Document class pointer, but it sometimes is!
Hope this helps in someway.

Hi,
It helps me, but very little. I knew that what I's doing was a little wrong way. But still I'm fix with how to achieve this. See I tell you what I wana achieve. I wanted at "OnOk" of Dialog-Box, I contact to server, get data from there and now i need to display that data. Please Help me. I've simply created and MFC EXE application and changed base class of my view to CEditView. Now in MyView::OnFileNew()I'm Calling DoModal of my dialog-box, I get server IP from there and then do processing and get data which has to be displayed.
Please suggest me some programming steps to go further. I'd be happy if someone suggest over some of my previous wrong methods also.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How can i get a bitmap buffer from a .dib file?
Neha
|
|
|
|

Look in the code of the IconPro sample from Platform SDK. There is a file that is working with DIBs (dib.c)
Also look here in this article: DibSection
And, you can find a lot of info in "Bitmaps and Palettes" section here, on CodeProject

Thanks for the reply.
But i feel .dib &.bmp are same in windows.
If i write
HANDLE hImage = ::LoadImage (AfxGetInstanceHandle(), "d:\\winnt\\prescan3.BMP", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0,
LR_LOADFROMFILE );
I will hImage as NULL.
Why is it so?
|
|
|
|
|
Try to put NULL instead of AfxGetInstanceHandle()
This should help, cause when you are loading from file you do not need the Instance handle

It works with all other bmp file.But it doesn't work with the file which i renamed from .dib to .bmp.
Any idea?
|
|
|
|

Did you try to open the file with other utilities? Such an IrfanView, or simple Word?
And if you can, can you send me that .dib file, so I'll play with it?

Also, look at DIBLOOK sample in your MSDN. This project supposed to open DIB files as well as BMP file. If it is not, so your .dib is corrupted

Explanation,
I have some code that runs in a toplevel windows position,
This code never-the less appears to get infected and corrupted by virri on occasions.
So I do a couple of CRC checks on the apps initiation to verify if the existing code is also infected.
for-example:
if( code_infected() ) { Error_message(); Exit(); }
else RunTheApp();
Ok simple enough eh!
My question is how can I detect what was the malware/nasty that infected my App ?
Note all the code is in one exe.
I could spawn a process that monitors the app, but this would be liable to be infected as well.
Any help welcome ! Thanks.

Look for CheckSumMappedFile() in your MSDN. You'll find there all about executable files images

There's an unused field in the PE header that you can use to store a checksum of the file. You would use or write a checksumming program and run that on your app, and that program would store the checksum in the PE header. Then your code_infected() routine would use the same algorithm to compute the checksum and compare the two.

What if it's a smart virii that modifies the checksum field?

A virus that analyzes the host program, locates the checksumming algorithm, runs it against itself, and saves & verifies a new checksum? Not likely.

Well, what if the target application is a crack program. Then it would be very very easy to crack the program. 
I think Colin is trying to protect an application from the crackers. If so, you should choose a third-party library. Here is a good one.http://www.bit-arts.com/ It is really expensive, but if you use ChargeKey service to sell your software, they provide these programs for free. Have a look at it.
