C# :: Creating Controls Which Act Differently Depending On Mode
Apr 24, 2014
I am creating a C# windows application which allows it to connect to our devices and communicate with them.
Often we need to customise this application and I have made this easier by defining its appearance and actions within an XML file which gets read in every time the application starts up. This is working really well.
However editing this XML file can be pretty laborious and often requires many cycles to get everything correct again. So I have started to create a graphical editor which allows for the XML to be generated.
The problem I am facing is that I am using the same controls in the final program and the editor so my question is how should I structure the code so that each control knows when it is in "Normal" mode and when it is in "Edit" mode?
I have started using a simple boolean flag to indicate its mode, however this now means that within every function I need to check this flag and run code appropriate to that mode, this seems a bit over the top. Is there a better/standard way this sort of this is done?

I am trying to simplify my code by creating a function which takes an input then checks whether it is "y" or "n" then outputs either 1 or 0 depending on the input. So far this is what I have
int Choice(string choice) {
while(choice.compare("n") != 0 && choice.compare("N") != 0 && choice.compare("y") != 0 && choice.compare("Y") != 0){
cout << "Please enter a valid input either [y/n] : " << endl;
cin.clear(); cin.ignore(); cin >> choice;
[Code] ...
And I call it in the program using
cout << "Do you wish to change the hubble type of any galaxies? [y/n]" << endl;
cin >> choice;
while(Choice(choice) == 1){
....
cout << "Do you wish to change the hubble type of another galaxy? [y/n]" << endl;
cin << choice;
}
It compiles fine but displays some bizarre behaviour, I need to end the line twice in order for the program to continue and sometimes it just stops working (doesn't exit just appears to be stuck in a loop).

I've been having trouble working on this physics engine of mine. Right now I'm having trouble adding gravity.
The game is a spaceship--which you control--flying around in space with asteroids and eventually the ability to shoot bullets. There should be a wrap on the edges of the screen and gravity for each object depending on their mass.
I'm creating a forceX and forceY for each force put onto each object, and then computing that force into a velX and velY which will determine the direction of each object and at which speed.
Where my problem arises:
Code:
//add gravity pulls to forces
for(int i = 0; i <= pushCount; i++) //add gravity pulls for each object {
for(int u = 0 ; u <= pushCount; u++) //each object should add a force for every other object {
if(i != u) {
switch(id[i])

I'm turning mad with a little problem with Visual Studio 2008 and MFC. I'm working on a project actually and I'm trying to create an SDI Application. Right, now I want to add a dockable DialogBar. Well, the first time I added it with the resource view, I can create the bar without problems. But... I want to add some controls like a couple of ListBox, buttons and so on. The program doesn't allows me to create member variables for these controls. The option appears in grey.
Searching a little, I found that it's mandatory to create a new class derived from CDialogBar and "enhance" it with the Message handler and so on. I've been reading some tutorials and it didn't work for me.

how I want my sprite movement to work: if my sprite is faced upwards and i press W, it will move up. If my sprite is faced to the right and i press W, it will go right. etc. // It doesn't work like that right now and how to do it.The sprite's rotation works fine.
if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Q)) {
playerSprite.rotate(-0.08 * dt);
} else if(sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::E)) {
playerSprite.rotate(0.08 * dt);
[code]....
My question is how do I move the character depending on the rotation?
Also, you might see the "if(havePlayersCollided == false) {playerSprite.move(yadiyada)}" . yes i dont need the haveplayerscollided function because it doesnt work the way I want it to. I might make a thread for it in the future, but right now I need to get the rotation movement fixed before I move onto the collision detection between players.

I have a list of calculated fields, these fields reference other fields in their calculations. I need to create these fields beforehand as they will not exist.
I was wondering what would be the best approach for this Example List
Field1 has Field2 in the calculation
Field2 has Field4 in the calculation
Field3 has Field1 in the calculation
Field4
I'm not sure on how to approach this.
Create list in this order
Field4
Field2
Field1
Field3

Okay, I've been working on this Texture class that's going to be compatible with both SDL and OpenGL with the capability to create an array of textures within one class as opposed to multiple classes and such.
Now I've run into a slight issue if I want to return the value of a texture. There's two different types of textures: SDL_Texture, and a standard GLuint Texture. The problem I have is that one or the other is used, not both which is depending on whether or not the person is using OpenGL.
So when the user wants to get the texture, I need the ability to return either an SDL_Texture, or GLuint depending on whether or not OpenGL is being used.
I tried this with a template class, but it didn't work, but I'll post the code so you can see what I'm trying to do.
template <class Tex> Tex Texture::GetTexture(int TextureNumber)
{
if (TextureNumber > NumTextures || TextureNumber < 0)
return;
[Code]....
It basically just comes down to the last four lines of code. If the person is Using OpenGL return a GLuint, if the person is using SDL, return an SDL_Texture.
I would prefer to have the GetTexture function to be one function instead of two separate ones so I don't have to call a different function every time to check if I'm using SDL or OpenGL.

I am working on a code and first i need to initialize the array depending on the size (min size 3x3, maximum size 9x9). The initialized array will descend in order. Note that it seems like a simple code and seems to work for any size from 3x3 to 7x7, but for some reason i get a strange output in the last few rows for 8x8 and 9x9. Not sure why. The second part to my problem is the very last digit of 0. I did hard code to define it but i would like to make it a character like an underscore...what is the easy way to do this?
* Implements the Game of Fifteen (generalized to d x d).
*
* Usage: ./fifteen d

* whereby the board's dimensions are to be d x d,
* where d must be in [MIN,MAX]

* Note that usleep is obsolete, but it offers more granularity tha sleep and is simpler to use than nanosleep; `man usleep` for more.

I have a seat allocation algorithm for an airplane 30 x 6 seats. The plane is 'split' front (1 - 15) and back (16 -30), right (A,B,C) and left (D,E,F). I am placing passengers in window seats front right centre (15A) first then back left centre (16F) followed by (15F) followed by (16A). This will continue for single passengers middle seats then aisle.
Another part of the algorithm is to ensure parties >2 or <=6 to sit together in an empty row, if not possible the party will be split as to not have a person in the party sitting alone firstly. i.e. 6 is 3 + 3 or 2 + 2 + 2 or 4 + 2 or 3 + 2 + 1 or 4 + 1 + 1 or 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 and so.
I have got it working for one person but seating two people is a bit more difficult. I am trying to get 15A,15B then 16E,16F then 16A,16B then 15E,15F then 16C 16D and 15C 15D.
This code only allocates passengers 15 A 15B then 15C 15D then 15E 15F
//seat allocation for two people
public bool[,] seatTwoPerson(bool[,] seatArray, int startCol, int endCol, int directionX, int startRow, int endRow, int directionY)
{ //loop through seatArray section determined by parameters
//for (int col = startCol; directionX < 0 ? col >= endCol : col < endCol; col += directionX)

For example, to calculate GPA, we add all the grade point of a course and divide by the number of courses we are taking. How do I create a program in such a way that when the user enters grade point for two courses, it will add the grade points for the two course and divide by 2. And if another user enters grade points for six courses, it adds the grade points and divides by 6.

is there a way to have a template class respond to missing stuff in a template type ?
Code:
template <typename Type>
class MyClass
{
public:
enum { ID = Type::ID }; // revert to 1 if Type::ID doesn't exist.
};
If the Type passed to the template has an ID member (required to be an enum or a static const int), use it, if it is missing revert to a default value.
I can use this as a simplified way of configuring how MyClass works, without requiring Type to explicitely needing to define what it doesn't care about.
It needs to be resolved at compiletime, as it determines the number of elements in member array variables.

I have `MainShop`(base class) then `SwordShop` and `BowShop`(derived classes) and another derived class called `Inventory`. I have a vector under protected in my base class, and when I access it from my derived classes it's okay, but each one has its own value. How can I set them all to have the same value?
//MainShop.h
#pragma once
class MainShop {
private:
//some variables
protected:
vector <string> WeaponInventory;
[code]......
Here every time I run it, it goes straight to the `else` and it displays that I do not have any items. I want to just have one vector for both my bow and Sword shops because vectors take up a lot of memory and my teacher said keep them to a minimum. So I just want one vector that takes in items from my bow class as well as my sword class, but for some reason it's acting as if I have multiple vectors, each with its own set of items.

what I'm trying to do is output a certain string depending on the color I see in the video feed. For right now, what I've done is threshold the feed so that everything above a certain brightness shows up as Red. Now I want to have something that says if there's any red in the feed, then I output a "1" to a text box on my user interface that's showing the feed. If there is no red, then I output a "0" to the text box.
I'm using Emgu CV C ++ with VS2010.
This is the code I have so far that isn't working correctly, it's giving me a compiler error.
cvConvertScaleAbs(frameFromCamera->Ptr.ToPointer(),frameDisplay->Ptr.ToPointer(),double(1)/16,0);
cvCvtColor(frameDisplay->Ptr.ToPointer(),frameColorDisplay->Ptr.ToPointer(),CV_GRAY2BGR);
cvThreshold(frameDisplay->Ptr.ToPointer(),maskSaturated->Ptr.ToPointer(),200,255,CV_THRESH_BINARY);
[Code] .....
and the error it's giving me
BAOTFISInterface.cpp(1010): error C2664: 'Emgu::CV::Image<TColor,TDepth> ^Emgu::CV::Image<TColor,TDepth>::InRange(Emgu::CV::Image<TColor,TDepth>

I am dynamically creating a data set and row and on one row i have a calender input text field which shows the date. My boss would also like me to add a calender icon on the same row next to the input field.
AddGridRow(dt, "Rating Date <font color='red'>(252)</font>", "ST_RATG_DA", "ST_RATG_DA_ID", paircode: "-1");
They want the calender to be right after the text box row definition:
AddGridRow(DataTable dt, string itemName, string dataColumn, string pubIDColumn, bool isPARAMTR = false, string paramTable = "", string paramColumn = "", string paircode = "")

When I drag a control onto the Xamarin studio layout the control just slides back into the toolbox again. The only way to add controls is to edit the .axml file which is not at all ideal.
I have tried re-installing all the components again multiple times and even tried out using a different computer, still no luck. How to use the mono framework on the Visual studio IDE and build the apk using Xamarin studios?

I created a simple calculator in Win App. When I played it, the form is displayed blank. Not a single control is shown.
The only thing I've done differently is adding a Coded UI Test in my test project. This is the first time I'm going to try to add a coded UI test so I wonder if that's the cause for this.

If I rename a control, when I build, I get an error because deep in the code, the old name exists, but my rename doesn't change the old name. Am I doing rename wrong? (I just go to "Name" in properties and type the new name.)
Same idea with control deleting. So I add a control (textBox, label, whatever). I later decide to delete the control. When building, it still has code for the old control and won't let me proceed.

If it is possible, I'd like to know how to intercept messages sent to controls on a dialog. I'm working on a large application with a large number of dialogs, each with a number of controls on the dialog. I need to be able to intercept messages sent to these controls so that I can determine if the controls really need to take action on these messages. I could subclass each control and override the specific event handlers but due to the volume of controls in the application this could take a very long time, will introduce risk if controls are missed, and will increase maintenance costs. What I want to do is create a class which is derived from CDialog and each of the dialogs in the application would then be derived from this new dialog class. The new dialog class would intercept messages sent to any control on the dialog and if the dialog decides that the control should do something then the dialog will pass the message on to the control.
example:
CExistingDialog is derived from CNewDialog is derived from CDialog
CExistingDialog has a number of controls. When the code in CExistingDialog calls CWnd::EnableWindow on one of these controls I want CNewDialog to intercept the message, determine what should be done with the message, and then pass it on to the control.
I'm not very familiar with the messaging framework. I've tried overriding a few of the methods of CNewDialog but none of them ever receive the message to enable the window. I assume this is because the message is sent directly to the child window (the control).
Is there any way to intercept these messages? I don't know much about hooks either but is this a possible option?
