C# :: GTK - How To Manage Sizes Of Widgets
Aug 3, 2014
I create new dialog window. I add container Fixes and change Fixed properties : - AutoSize, +Expand, +Fill to enable other widgets. I add Text View, Textview is inside GtkScrolledWindow which has property X and Y but not Height and Width. If GtkScrolledWindow has scrollbars, its size is fixed, if not - size depends on the content Textview and grows when I type text. I want not to grow control if I type Text but want my own size. It is possible?

I am trying to create an array of objects. I have to be abstract unfortunately (can't show you all my code), but this is the general gist of what I'm doing. Let's say these objects will be Widgets.
I would assume a vector of widgets would be better than an array due to it's flexibility. So if I use an array, let's say that my widjet is called MY_WIDGET and MY_WIDGET has a constructor of MY_WIDGET(int x, int y);
I have tried using an array to hold several widgets like this.
int i = 10; // obviously this number will be decided dynamically.
int x = 10;
int y = 10;
MY_WIDGET *array[i];
for(int x = 0; x < i; x++)
{
arr[x] = new MY_WIDGET(x,y);
y +=30; // moves the next widget down so they don't cover each other.
}
So now I have an array of objects or Widgets in this case. I'm only using widgets for this example because I want to display the use of a constructor.
So, while my compiler (MinGW) will let me do this, I still get an error at runtime because of the way I have dynamically sized my array 'arr[i]'.
The usual way of doing this, let's say for an int (see below), I can't apply for an object with a constructor requiring multiple parameters to construct it. Maybe I can't, I'm not sure.
int *x = 0;
x = new int[10];
This begs the question, should I be using a vector and if so, how do I dynamically push_back constructed objects into a vector without running into the same problem above. I have tried the below and get problems at compile time telling me that 'the base class is private within this context'. Not sure how to go about this but if I can understand how to dynamically create objects with constructors and add them to a vector or array I should be able to do this.
vector<MY_WIDGET> myvec;
MY_WIDGET the_widget(x,y);
myvec.push_back(the_widget);
y+=30;

I’m working on a project that has many pop up windows. They are not organized properly and things are getting messy. I’m wondering if there are any common practice or design patterns for solving this problem.
I’d like to give some concrete examples:
1. my program connects to two different tcp ports on the same ip. cutting off any of them, the user will be notified with a MessageBox. But in case of unplugging network cable, both message box will show, which is unnecessary.
2. we provide a shortcut key to display a setting dialog. However the program can also show the same dialog when certain event happens. If the user opens the setting dialog already, those event will still trigger a second setting dialog.
3. when application settings are not correct, user will disconnect from the server and an error dialog will show up and terminate the program. But if the user knows about the situation and has opened the setting dialog to fix the issue, the error dialog will terminate his work. which is bad.
I don’t know how to deal with this window management problem in a complex software project. Of course, I can solve the issue case by case by checking if certain dialog is shown before displaying another dialog. But there are too many cases, when the code base gets big, this is not practical. There must be some generic solution I think.

I wrote a class to manage pointers better (because I am making a large program and don't want to call a constructor on somthing that was already deleted... etc...), but I am getting some compiler errors. I'm not sure what to do.
here is the class prototype:
template<typename type>
class pointer_class{
public:
pointer_class() : dat(NULL), del(false) {}
explicit pointer_class(const pointer_class<type>& d) : dat(NULL),
[Code].....

I wrote a class pedal that allows to search for the serial port on which the pedal is connected. Therefore I send a request to the pedal and set up a timer event of 20 ms. If no reply, I search for the next serial port.
When found I send configuration to the pedal and set another timer event of 200 ms that requests for pedal state. It runs fine.
Now if the pedal is disconnected then connected again I would like it to run again.
Therefore I set another timer event every 2s that launches all what I described above.
The trouble comes because the 20 ms timer event doesn't run and I do not understand why.

recently I developed a class header only in C++ to deal with byte arrays. Since I developed programs in other languages that had some libraries to dial with byte arrays, I developed one that the syntax is very similar to other languages.
Since I'm not very familiar with memory management, I was concerned about somethings I've read about (ex: memory fragmentation).
Here is a very simple example of my practice:
class ByteArray {
public:
ByteArray(size_t size) {
buffer = (int8_t*)malloc(size);
}
[Code].....
The class is intended to be used as part of comunication protocol in a webserver, byte arrays are created and destroyed a lot. Should I use pools? Is there a better practice? Am I doing everything wrong (laugh)?
For those who wants to see the entire class: [URL]

#include <iostream>
#include <array>
#include <sstream>
[Code].....
I need to add thevArr[I] and vArr1[I] and store in vArr2[I] but I cant figure out how to drop the value or replace with a 0 if vArr is bigger than vArr1. IE: 1st number: 123 2nd number: 4567
Ill get something like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6 7
5 7 9 -827349

I'm building a box to take in several arrays of different lengths. one group happens every 10 seconds. one of them happens every 5 seconds. this is from a weather station.
10 sec
subgroupA[14]
subgroupB[24]
subgroupC[17]
subgroupD[12]
subgroupE[34]
5 sec
subgroupC[17]
I plan to retransmit them, substantially unchanged at a lesser rate to save radio power over a serial data link. buried in groupD, I want to change a few chars before retransmit.
I don't want to go to the trouble of doing a structure for each of them since most will be resent unchanged. some entries are chars, some are decimal, some are a mix. I guess it might be convenient to further define groupD, maybe not.
what is the best way to declare the group? I want them to be contiguous since that's how they will end up in the tx buffer. Each subgroup has its own checksum, so I planned it this way to make checksum more convenient.

I'm trying to find the MAX and MIN integer sizes that are entered in by the users. I know that we need to sort [i] and [j] in my function to figure out which is the highest and lowest score correct?
#include <iostream>
using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

I have a paradigm where a integer before gets enqueued to a queue in a vector, the loop of queues is searched and integer is enqueued to a queue which has minimum size among the queues. the following code shows the operation
#include <vector>
#include <queue>
std::vector<std::queue<int> > q
[Code].....
next i am trying to extend my paradigm with the condition, that the integers should be enqueued to the shortest queue until the count of the shortest queue is less than or equal to count of any another queues in the loop of queues.
i want to do something like the code shown below
#include <vector>
#include <queue>
std::vector<std::queue<int> > q
[Code].....

The size of fundamental types is not guaranteed. Apparently, all the standard guarantees is a hierarchy of sizes, and some minimum representable value range.
Specifically, a char is not guaranteed to be one byte. Also, the sizeof operator always returns 1 for the size of a char, even if the actual size is not eight bits.
Isn't this a huge problem for portability? It seems like 2+ byte characters would break all kinds of things. For example, fstream::write() takes a char * and a byte-length argument. If you ported from a 1-byte-char platform to a 2-byte platform, wouldn't that screw up all your write()s? Worse, you couldn't even detect the problem without trial and error, since sizeof would just lie to you.
I've never actually seen a platform where char wasn't 1 byte, but it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

I am using 2 ARRAYS OF DIFFERENT SIZES in One 2-Dimensional Vector, and my output is not correct. The arrays are size 4 and size 13.
I want COLUMN 0 to have: 55, 66, 77, 88.
I want COLUMNs 1-12 to have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,11 in EACH ROW. It would seem that the 2nd loop for the size 13 array would need to loop 4 times in order to fill 4 rows, however, I'm not sure how to do that. Here is what I have so far in code and output:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int typeArray[4] = {55,66,77,88};
int valArray[13] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,11};
[Code] ....
OUTPUT:
55 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 10 11
77 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
88 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
How to populate rows correctly?

I'm writing a program where I need to generate a conversion table for wrench sizes with the following columns: Size (Inches) [Fraction], Size (Inches) [Decimal rounded to 3], Next Bigger Metric (mm), Difference (Inches) [Next Bigger Metric-Inches], Closest Metric (mm) [to original size], and Difference (Inches) [Closest Metric-Inches]. I've created the column for the Size in fraction form relatively quickly but I cant seem to produce the decimal version. Instead, I get 0.000.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

I have an advanced data namespace in which I hope to be able to read a data variable of any type and transfer it's bytes into another type of a multiple size.
i.e.
char[4] -> int;
int -> short[2];
short -> char[2];
char[2] -> short;
but I'm having some trouble, I get the following errors (because as a template it must compile from start)
template<typename T1, typename T2> void stepBytes(UCHAR size1, UCHAR size2, T1 in, T2& out){
if(size1 == 0 || size2 == 0)
return;
if(size1 % size2 != 0 &&
size2 % size1 != 0)
[Code] ....
So, why's this error appearing?

I'm working on a homework assignment that asks me to roll two die a user given number of times, find the roll sums, and a few other things. I'm working on it one module at a time and I'm running into two big problems so far.
The first problem is that my int variable rolls changes to a number within the random number generator range of numbers after I run rolldie. I got around this by making a const equal to the user entered value of rolls just so that I could continue developing the program.
My second problem is that the values of the arrays resultsOne[] and resultsTwo[] are changed after running findsum(). Why this is happening and I even tried passing them as const, but that changed nothing. We just started learning about passing arrays to functions, so there might be something big that I'm missing.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void rolldie(int resultsOne[], int sizeOfresultsOne, int resultsTwo[], int sizeOfresultsTwo);
void findsum(int resultsOne[], int sizeOfresultsOne, int resultsTwo[], int sizeOfresultsTwo, int tossSums[], int sizeOftossSums);
[Code] ....

I have a paradigm in a loop of queues of a vector,if a condition is true,increase sizes of the queue of that particular queue in the loop of queues, if condition is false, the queuesize is left as such in loop of queues. After this operation i need to search the queue sizes of all queues and enqueue in the shortest queue.
I want to do something like the code given below
#include <vector>
#include <queue>
int min_index = 0;
std::vector<std::queue<int> > q
std::size_t size = q.size();
[Code] ....
How to implement this logic?
will q[i].size=q[i].size+5 increase the queuesize by 5 for the ith queue?
