I've done some research and found that people use Mah metro, though I don't want to use that because I want to make a GUI that is fully mine, so I can do what ever I want to customize it to my liking.
I don't know how to get this done in WinForms....
I am trying to make a custom hotkey on my program via a ini file.
Code:
TCHAR KeyValue[32];
GetPrivateProfileString(("test"), ("test"), ("") ,KeyValue, 32, ("C: est.ini"));
if(GetAsyncKeyState (KeyValue)) // Hotkeys 0x60 VK_NUMPAD0 //Problem here
{
}
Code:
test.ini :
[test]
test=0x60
Error:
invalid conversion from `CHAR*' to `int'
initializing argument 1 of `SHORT GetAsyncKeyState(int)'
I want to make a custom program for packaging multiple files in one. Not as complicated as ZLIB or others. Consider few files, XML, txt, JPG, OGG, I want them to be added in 1 file. Not visible not readable. Just a datafile. I have some ideas about creating some kind of indexing of the start byte, end byte of each file. But I am still way too far. Can you point me some direction at what should I stress in creating this software. It will be portable since I am planning to use stdlib, stdio only, maybe and string to recreate the filenames from the large chunk datafile.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a C++/MFC application that displays a count in a window:
The count (text) is displayed via a `CStatic` control. The mechanism is very simple. I call it every 1000 ms and update the text as such:
Code:
void CTestCountdownFlickerDlg::RedrawCounter(LPCTSTR pText)
{
CStatic* pTxtBox = (CStatic*)this->GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_COUNTER);
ASSERT(pTxtBox);
[Code]....
What happens is that the `CStatic` control updates without any issues on the OS with visual themes enabled, but if I run it on the OS with the Windows Classic theme (for instance, the screenshot above is from Windows 7) the `CStatic` control produces a visible flicker every time it updates the text.
Well, I understand that I'm nitpicking here, still I would really like to get rid of this flicker.
Here's what I tried:
1. In my actual project I tried subclassing the `CStatic` control and removed the processing of `WM_ERASEBACKGROUND` by simply returning 1. That didn't work.
2. In the same subclass for `CStatic` control I tried to override `WM_PAINT`, but that didn't work at all. So I'm not sure if I'm going too far with it at this point.
I'm attaching the C++/MFC source code for my test project .....
I'm programming with VS2010, for windows 7. The user likes to use the windows classic theme, and I discovered that BS_MULTILINE style isn't working as I expect. When a button is pressed in the classic theme, it looks like there is a temporary margin added that causes the text to wrap only when the button is pushed. It works fine with any other theme.

I've written a doubly linked list per my assignment instructions. I've implemented begin() and end() iterators for it, and they work with no problems when traversing the list. However, I need to sort the elements in the list. We are allowed to use the sort function defined in the <algorithm> header since we haven't yet covered sorting algorithms.
But, I'm running into a ton of problems. I figured as long as the begin() and end() iterators were defined for the list, then sort(list.begin(), list.end(), compare) would do the trick. The main errors I'm getting are:
error: no type named iterator_category
error: no type named value_type
error: no type named difference_type
error: no type named pointer
error: no type named reference
And also errors for no match of the + and - operators for the iterator class.
I understand reference, pointer, and value_type, but I have no idea about iterator_category and difference_type. Additionally, I'm a little unsure why the + and - operators need to be overloaded.
I have a POPUP
MAIN_MENU MENU {
POPUP "&Manager" {
MENUITEM "New Royal Python", MENU_NEW_ROYAL_PYTHON

I am making a level editor that needs to output a custom map file for use with source code that I will write for a graphics library.
My question is: What do I need to bear in mind when deciding how to structure a custom file type? Also how can I encode a standard bitmap image into my file (the tile set) so that it can all be contained in a single file rather two files; the map file and tile set (.bmp file).
I have begun switching from WinForms to WPF and I'm having a hard time understanding the new concepts. In WinForms, I had a few User Controls, custom drawn using shapes (rectangles, ellipses, etc). They had some unique properties, like "Flashing" (setting this property to True and setting the "Flash Interval" property to 500 would have resulted in the control changing its background color to white and back again, every 0.5 seconds), "Beeping", etc.
I have tried to replicate these controls in WPF/XAML and so far managed to draw the shape. However, when it came to implementing a custom property that would redraw the background color of the rectangle every interval set by user in another property, i got stuck. The property is being set, but it doesn't change the background color. Alternatively, i have tried this method, with the same results (i got it to show in the "Properties" window in Visual Studio, i can set it, it is being stored in XAML, but it doesn't affect the background.
C# code behind:
public struct LCARSColors
{
public static Brush DarkBlue = (Brush)(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#FF3366CC"));
public static Brush LightBlue = (Brush)(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#FF99CCFF"));
public static Brush Pink = (Brush)(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#FFCC99CC"));
[Code] ....
If i use this line (commented in this code sample):
<!--<SolidColorBrush x:Name="MySolidColorBrush" Color="{DynamicResource DarkBlue}" />-->
The background is colored in DarkBlue (as defined). But if i use this line:
<SolidColorBrush x:Name="MySolidColorBrush" Color="{Binding BackgroundColor, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" />
Nothing happens, the rectangle disappears entirely. If i add this to the above line:
FallbackValue=LightYellow
The rectangle is colored in LightYellow, meaning that the property is not accepted and the fallback value is used. Why?

View 2 Replies View Relatedso i have a std::map like this:
map<DWORD,DWORD> mymap;
now i want to sort it by the second DWORD value, and thus i have to implement my own comparison function and use sort() from <alogirthm>:
Code:
bool y(const map<DWORD,DWORD>::iterator& a, const map<DWORD,DWORD>::iterator& b)
{
if(a->second < b->second)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
...
sort(mymap.begin(), mymap.end(),y);
...
but this throws thousands of errors at me, including C2784.
I've been pondering which of these 2 approaches would make for the best interface for a library: Defining custom exceptions with specific names for different error scenarios but with standard behaviour, or simply using the predefined exceptions from the STL.
This is my current approach:
Code:
namespace rpp
{
class ConnectionError : public std::exception
{
public:
ConnectionError(const std::string &p_err);
[Code] .....
This seems to make for more descriptive code but it adds no functionality and the implementations are completely identical, which seems "off" to me, somehow.
I want to create an unsigned arithmetic type that can hold a maximum size of 360. Without having to create a method.
It should be in such a manner that:
Code:
typedef uint8_t radius;
radius rotation = 0;
radius foo (radius rotation)
{ return --rotation;
}
returns 359, instead of 255, or 65535 or whatever max value the type I base my type on can hold.
When we want to use custom classes for the STL set data structure, how to do it?
I look around and see people passing comparators, overloading operator(), and also overloading operator< in the class itself.
Which one's the idiomatic c++ way?

I'm working on a code for ascertaining the minimum penalty of an assignment problem. The basic complication of my code is this: I have a vector of objects of a custom struct. The struct has a member, which is an integer. I need to keep the vector sorted according to that member, even when objects are added to or deleted from the vector. To illustrate the problem, I'll give an example.
Code:
typedef struct examplestruct{int i;
char c;
...} es;
int function(void)
{vector<es> ObjectTable;
//insert an object so that the vector remains sorted according to i
insertobject( newobject, &ObjectTable);
//deleting the top element of the vector
deleteobject(&ObjectTable);
return 0;}
I have tried to do it using bubblesort. But it's too slow. How to make a heap out of it.
The detailed premises of the problem is this: There are a number of jobs, and with each job a completion time and a cost coefficient. We are to ascertain the optimal sequence of jobs for which the penalty is minimum. Now, suppose we are given jobs A, B, C, D and E. We find out the lower bound of penalties for all the jobs.
Suppose we find B has the lowest penalty. Then we find out the lower bound of penalties for BA, BC, BD and BE. We continue this until we have the best value and a complete sequence. The way I have implemented this in a code: I have created two structs. One is Job, with the completion time and cost coefficient as members. The other is Node. Nodes have a Job Array and a Penalty as members. Now, we have a vector of Nodes which we need to keep sorted according to the penalty. We need to insert new Nodes and delete the expanded Nodes.
I have included my code. The pushInTable function inserts the new Nodes in a sorted vector. But it slows down remarkably when we give more than 20 jobs as input.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a custom "Array" class for a project, and I have run into an error I don't quite understand the source of. The relevant code is as follows:
template<typename T> class Array {

When I try to run the following code:
Array<Array<int>> a(Array<int>(-1));
The error log tells me there is no appropriate default constructor available. If I understand it correctly, "default constructor" refers to the constructor which lets you just write Array<int> a; instead of Array<int> a(...);, but I can't see where in the code such a situation occurs...
I've been working on a project for a few days now, and within this project I need to have a class system that can function similarly to an if statement. The problem I'm having is I can't seem to find any good information on the order in which if statements process the information within it. I understand that if statements process whatever's in parenthesis first, but my question is that when their are several booleans of equal value, for example: "if(x == 1 && y == 2 || 3 == 4 && 4==6)", in what order does it process these true or false statements? (The actual content of the example is superfluous).

I am trying to create a custom ValidationAttribute in my c# .net code. I have done a lot of searching and have code that should be working but the IsValid method is not firing as far as I can tell.
Model code:
[Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false, ErrorMessage = "required")]
//[Range(2014, 2100, ErrorMessage="Please enter a valid year.")]
//[RegularExpression(@"^d{4}$", ErrorMessage = "Please enter a valid year.")]
[ValidYear(ErrorMessage="Please enter one >= 2014")]
[Display(Name = "Exp. Year")]
public string expYear { get; set; }
And this is the class in that same model:
public class ValidYearAttribute : ValidationAttribute {
protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext){
return new ValidationResult("Something went wrong");
}
}
Why the IsValid is not firing.
