C++ :: Program To Emulate Full Screen Console
Dec 5, 2013
So, I'm making a program in C++ that emulates a full screen console... I used SetCurrentConsoleFontEx to set the font to 12x16 but it sucks...
Anyway, I read here: [URL] .... that also the console font can be changed, but I can't make it work! How can i set the font to Lucida Console? This is the function I use to change font size:
void setFontSize(int x, int y) {
PCONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX lpConsoleCurrentFontEx = new CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX();
lpConsoleCurrentFontEx->cbSize = sizeof(CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX);
GetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), NULL, lpConsoleCurrentFontEx);
lpConsoleCurrentFontEx->dwFontSize.X = x;
lpConsoleCurrentFontEx->dwFontSize.Y = y;
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), NULL, lpConsoleCurrentFontEx);
}

How can I check if window media player is running in full screen mode & topmost in c++ MFC?
What I used is this logic:
I compared media player full screen coordinates to that of monitor coordinates.If they are same implies media player is in fullscreen.But it has one flaw.Whenever there are control(for play,pause) displayed in full screen in media player, coordinates are not coming same as that of monitor.

I had a program (on console) that uses a third-part software to draw some graphs. In order to hold the graphs on the screen, I used cin.get(); and that worked.
Now I created a GUI with Qt. The code remains generally the same. The code continues to call the software to draw graphs (during drawing graphs, there is a console opened automatically). Butcin.get(); in the code cannot hold the graphs on screen anymore. The graphs appear and disappear immediately.

I have written an program to emulate a shopping list. Everything works fine, until I try to read in from a file. Here is my read and write code (the write code looks like it is working ok, but I figured I would include it just in case), and an example of what happens to a list that has been written, then read back in.
I took this list, and wrote it to a file, then read that file back in. The .txt file looks like everything was written out properly, but when I try to read that exact same list back in, this is what I get:

I've a problem here...
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
[Code] ....
The program needs to be able to read the middle names within the text file named Info2.txt
Simply adding the Mname or any related value where the other to name values doesn't do anything and only the 1st line appears on the output.
Don Jon111012
Jack Bo Todd151015
Jill Jo Jane161011
Bob Jack Chuck 131513
Da Fu111012
That is the correct way it appears in the text file. Also I know it's commented out, but that just to keep the program from crashing.
current output

This is the Info1.txt file info by the way.
Ken A202017
Gus B151015
Bill C151512
Jara C151720

Which when ran with Info1 selected, it is the correct output I'm looking for. I've tried getline and other solutions and they didn't work.

I am trying to emulate callback mechanism in C. The code I have is follows:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
struct fopen_struct {
char *filename;
char *mode;
void *(*callback) (FILE *);
[Code] .....
If I do a pthread_join in fopen_t() it works perfectly fine. But if I do that in main() I get a segmentation fault error. I want to call it in main() because I want it to be non-blocking, is there any solution?

how to structure my classes so that they all "wire together" and inherit the proper functions and data that I want them to. I want to have a Car.c and car.h which are "wired" with body.c/body.h, which in turn is wired with a frame.c/frame.h, wheel.c/wheel.h, and driver.c/driver.h.
Each part of the car holds some type of data, mostly ints: The car has a (total) mass and car_name. The body has a mass and color. The frame has a mass. The wheel(s) have a mass and force. [There will be 4 instances of wheel] The driver has a mass and driver_name. Each of these functionalities must come from their respective .c and .h files, and be amalgamated in the car.c and car.h (which should contain all the functionality of its parts). Then, in my main test program, I am to make an instance of car and hardcode in its values of: mass (which comes from the total mass of all of its parts, this is where i start to lose it.
How will I access its parts' masses in the test program?), color (a character array), current position (an integer), current velocity (an integer), and current acceleration (which comes from the total newton force of the 4 wheels, again this is where I start to get very confused). (Then in the test program I am to print out a simulation of this car over a period of 100 seconds, and show its position, velocity, and acceleration at each point (based on the mass, total newton force, and starting position). This part is of course a simple while loop, and is somewhat trivial.)
From what I understand, I will need to allocate memory for all of the data each class holds. Then, using function pointers, as well as #include "X.h" , I will need to somehow link up all of the classes together so that car has access to all of the parts' functions which set, for example, the newton force of each wheel.
We have learned a slight bit about structs, malloc, sizeof, and pointers, but I have not used them to link functionality or data from separate classes together.

I am creating a console based application which needs to be dual tasking, which prompts me to share a single console for the GUI console based and inputs from the user.
I want to know if there is a mechanism through I can open more than one command prompt so that I would use efficiently both of them.
Furthermore, I would need also to know how to control on which to print and on which not to be printed.
Is there such a thing?
I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on a Windows 8.1 Professional PC.

I have a problem with a program..I wanna make a program for scan the computer screen.I mean for example there is a video which shows just 5 pictures(apple,pear,banana,strawberry,cherry pictures) but this pictures are turning nonstop in one second. and this case is continuous progress.There are 5 pictures and are chancing. Lets get my problem, I wanna make a program and when apple on the screen my keyboard will push 1,when pear on the screen my keyboard will push 2,banana is 3,strawberry is 4,cherry is 5. I have this 5 pictures which are in the video and I will introduce tham to program and I wanna compare my lib. and screen and get output.

I am wrapping up a Linux/C programming assignment that requires several small programs for encrypting and decrypting text. There is a bash grading script which will be used to assess the performance of my programs. The script runs fine on my local machine and all of my tests pass, but when I run everything on my University's server via SSH, the script is not behaving the same. I am fairly certain the error exists somewhere in my C code, because no other students are having this issue. The 4 main programs consist of 2 daemons which wait for clients to connect via sockets, and the two clients. There is a daemon/client pair for handling encryption, and another for handling decryption.
And here is a screenshot of what happens with the same files on the remote server:As you can see, in the 4th and 5th tests (where the program's output should read), it's instead showing "ssIgnore this message". In later tests (not pictured) there is another message that reads "ddServer to client message". This text appears nowhere in my code or the grading script, so it must be server-side.

I'm trying to write a program that prints all of the prime numbers to the screen. I'm getting angry because it only prints EVERY number. I think it has something to do with the bool change not being able to leave the for-loop but how to fix it.

#include <stdbool.h>
int main(void){
printf("
The Primes Are: 1");

I wanted to make the terminal screen bigger in my NCurses program. Let's say if the defaults are 25 LINES and 80 COLS, I want to set them to 40 LINES and 120 COLS.
I've tried resizing all windows, but that did not work, because the actual terminal (console) was not resized. Then I found functions resizeterm and newterm, but they did not work. As far as my understanding goes resizeterm only updates NCurses information with the current configuration, while the window itself is not actually modified.
NCurses man page wrote:The function resizeterm resizes the standard and current windows to the specified dimensions
If I haven't made myself clear ( I sometimes make a mess of things... ), another example would be that I want my program to be fullscreen when I start it. Is this possible? It should be, I found a fullscreen NCurses program once, but the code was too confusing for me to understand.
Having read about things like SIGWINCH, I assume you must define a method for resizing the terminal screen yourself, I don't know where to start?

I have to write a program that stores information about students and displays results (Formated). Example-
Inputs ( # of students, First and Last name of student, the gender, age, and hieght. (height inputed as inches and outputed as feet and inches))
Student 2

Ive been falling behind a little due to working late and barely having time for my school work. Coming across several issues, one being an error with GENDER (Error C4700: uninitialized local variable 'gender' used:). As well as how to format the end result, i understand that u have to use #include <iomanip>, but am confused on how to format correctly.

What does the order of console output from your program tell you about when the static object is initialized?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//class
class Firstclass {
private:
Firstclass(); //constructor
~Firstclass(); //destructor
[Code] ....
Doesn't it allocate the class static variable to the heap, thus executing its algorithm then destroying it when the program ends - or. What exactly does it tell me? When the static variable is initialized, it takes place first before any of my other functions?

I am working on a project that uses a web service to extract a PNG image from a web server and save it on a local machine. It's done via a system call. I can get the output of the system call to a FILE but it appears to be losing data, most notably the PNG chunk names (IHDR/PLTE/IDAT/IEND, notably). (Unfortunately piping the output to an exterior file does not work through a system call.) The end result is ~6KB smaller than the file I am intending to retrieve.
This is the code I'm using (adapted from other material I found via searches here):
ofstream png;
png.open(/*outputfile*/, ios::binary);
FILE* fp = _popen(/*SYSTEMCALL*/, "rb");
string responseString;
if(fp != NULL) {
char a[100];
while(!feof(fp)) {
fgets(a, 100, fp);
responseString += a;
}
}
_pclose(fp);
png << responseString;
Am I missing something or just doing it wrong?

I want some people to see my C++ program, enter inputs (they can enter number 1, 2, 3, etc) as CIN, and then the program runs as it would if they were sitting in my place.
I have seen a few places which try to do this e.g.
[URL]
The problem is the CIN is not fully featured. For example in the first website you have to enter the input before you run the program. So that would not work for a program where CIN was being done all the time.
So I can get a domain, ask them to telnet into the Linux shell and compile and run my c++ Demo program. Is that the best way? Thats the worst case. I send them the .cpp file and they'll have to run and compile it on their own machine.
The best case is that they click on a link, get an online console and interact with it like they would with a real input/output c++ interface.how this can be done?

For my C programming module, I've been asked to create a program which is basically a ten question mathematics quiz or test if you like. Below is a copy and paste of my current, working program.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main () {
[Code]....
I am also trying to include into my program; If the user achieves 4 or less marks in the test, they are asked if they would like to repeat the test (have a second chance).
I have been asked by my Lecturer to ask the Question; "Would you like to try again" and the response is 'Y' for yes, 'N' for no. Would this be shown by:
char Y = Y;
char N = N;
printf("Would you like another go?");
scanf(%d%, &Y, &N);
And finally; If the user would like another go, then I am trying to include the code that clears the screen and then reloads the program?
What code is used to clear the screen and no clue what code is written to refresh or reload the program. I assume it's a loop statement or some sort.

I seem to be missing a concept or 2 here ... I am tasked with writing a program that reads text from a file and outputs each line to the screen as well as to another file PRECEDED by a line number ...
In addition, I have to Print the line number at the start of the line and right-adjusted in a field of 3 spaces ...
Follow the line number with a colon then 1 space, then the text of the line.
Another kicker, is I have to grab the data 1 character at a time and write code to ignore leading blanks on each line.
Here is what I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char next;
int count = 0;
[Code] ....
