C++ ::  basic Polymorphism - Parent / Child Class Based Program

Oct 19, 2014

I am making a very basic parent/child class based program that shows polymorphism. It does not compile due to a few syntax errors reading "function call missing argument list. Lines 76 and 77, 81 and 82, and 86 and 87.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class people {
public:
virtual void height(double h) = 0;
virtual void weight(double w) = 0;

C++ :: Using Child Class As Parameter Of A Function In Its Parent Class

Aug 27, 2014

I am currently having an issue with a piece of code that I am writing in which I need to use a vector of a child class as a parameter in a function in the parent class. Below is an example of my code:

#include "child.h"
#include <vector>
class parent {
parent();
function(std::vector<child> children);
// rest of class here
}

When I do this my program doesn't compile. However if I try to forward declare, as shown in the following example, it once again refuses to compile:

#include <vector>
class child;
class parent{
parent();
function(std::vector<child> children);
// rest of class here
}

This time, it refuses to compile because it needs to know the full size of the class child in order to create the vector. How to being able to access the child is essential for my program, so what should I do?

C# :: Editing A Parent Dialog Box Without Closing The Child

Sep 30, 2014

I'm using windows forms and I have a parent dialog box that consists of a text box and a drop-down that launches a child dialog box. The child takes user input and then prints dialog to the text box in the parent. However, the output does not appear in the text box until I close the child.

Now my question is, how do I get the text to appear without closing the child? I hit a button to send the info to the text box, but it still doesn't appear until the child closes. I also need to set up a button to suspend the child so that the user can click/copy/etc the parent.

C++ :: Including Header And Inheritance - Parent And Child Classes

Jan 27, 2012

I have defined to classes : Parent and Child. I have some global variables in a header file named as "var.h". These variables are used in both Parent and child Classes. The source code of these classes are written below:

Parent.h
==============================================
#ifndef PARENT_H
#define PARENT_H
#pragma once
#include <stdio.h>
class Parent {

[Code] ....

After compiling, the compiler returns a fatal error as follows:

1>Parent.obj : error LNK2005: "int counter" (?counter@@3HA) already defined in Child.obj
1>C:Documents and SettingspishiDesktop estDebug est.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

It says the "counter" is defined multiple times....

Visual C++ :: Passing DDX Control Variables Between Dialogs (Parent->Child)

Jul 19, 2013

I have a main dialog which has (DDX?) controls for the user. eg a slider, and a combo box.

Previously, an image adjusted by these controls was in the same dialog.

I need to put this image in a New, separate dialog but it still must be controlled by the slider and combo box on the main dialog.

My question is how can I pass the control's variables between the dialogs? I have, say,

Code:
//MainDlg.cpp
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_ComboBrightness, m_Brightness
I was told that I could do something like:

Code:
//ImageDlg.h
public:
ImageDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL, CComboBox m_Brightness); // standard constructor

But I get errors including: Missing default parameter for parameter 2

I also need to pass the image array, is that perhaps the same method?

C# :: Inheritance Or Base Class / Polymorphism?

Sep 16, 2014

I have couple of objects which are using some amount of methods. Right now my application is not OOP and i am going to transfer it to OOP. So i would create each class for my each object. Almost all methods are in use for each object, the only one thing which is changing some of those objects passing not all parameters inside specific method. I can go two ways one is prepare interface for all methods i got and each of my classes could implement its own definition for it but other way almost all would implement exactly the same methods but with different parameters so maybe its better to create base class then for each object do inheritance from base class (polymorphism). inside base class i can prepare base methods and classes which will inherit from that class would override those methods for requirements they want.

So imagine: You got:

Memory
CPU
Latency

and all of them using mostly all of those same methods (only arguments for one of them could be use different way):

ExecuteQuery()
ExportToExcel()
PopulateDataTable()
PutValueToReport()

Now its better to do like this e.g:

Base class: Stuff
prop: name, id, date ...
methods to ovveride: ExecuteQuery(), ExportToExcel() ...

classes: CPU, Memory, Latency (inheriting from Stuff)
ovveride methods and align its definition for specific class use (remember mostly only passing args are used or not by specific class)

or go with inheritance

Interface SomeMethods
ExecuteQuery()
ExportToExcel()
PopulateDataTable()
PutValueToReport()

and each class would implemet its own definition.

The most important thing is that those every objects mostly using all of those methods and what is diffrence that one object can use all of available parameters inside this method and other one no. What i should do? Go with interface or inheritance and polymporfizm inside base class?

C++ :: Shape Class Polymorphism Compiler Error

Dec 10, 2014

Having issues with program to create a shape area calculator with circle square and rectangle. the uml goes as follows:

Where the UML has shape as the abstract class with public area():double, getName():string,and getDimensions:string, rectangle derived from shape with protected height, and width, and a public rectangle(h:double, w:double), followed by a derived square from rectangle with just a public square(h:double), and finally a circle derived from shape with a private radius, and a public circle(r:double).

[URL]

Have linked my program and it is giving me the following compiler errors:

error: 'qdebug' was not declared in this scope line 15 of main

error: cannot declare variable 'shp' to be of abstract type 'shape' line 22 of main

error: expected primary-expression before ')' token lines 29 -31 of main

(note previously had qstring as a header file yet changed to string since I was getting error qstring was not declared in this scope.)

C/C++ :: Polymorphism Is Stopping Short Of Desired Class

Mar 2, 2014

I've been working on this project which inserts data for different types of books lately, and I'm trying to utilize inheritance and polymorphism. The issue I've been having is after I create an object with my MediaFactory, I go to insert data into that type of object, but it won't reach the correct child class. The parent class in this case is MediaData. The class I'm trying to reach is Childrens, and the class that falls in between is called Book. The function I'm calling to insert the information is setData(ifstream&). This function simply places the information from a txt file into an object with the insertion operator.

Right now the program runs into the setData function of Book instead of Childrens. I need Childrens so I can enter all the required attributes (title,author,year). The call to this function is in MediaManager through the function called buildMedia, and my test is running into the case if (type == 'Y'). From there a pointer of type MediaData is created and pointed to a new object returned of type Childrens. I'm using my debugger in Xcode which does show that the correct object type (Childrens) was created.

I've tried a couple things so far. First I created another function called getData. From there I passed in *media and infile (txt input file) into that function, which then passed it right into setData with a pointer to the object and infile in the parameter. That didn't work, so I also tried going back into Childrens and removing MediaData from all my virtual functions and replacing it with Book. I got the same result when that happened; It morphed into Book class instead.

I have a portion of my UML as a reference. Childrens is a Book; Book is a MediaData. I also included all code for MediaManager, MediaHash, MediaFactory, MediaData, Book, and Childrens.

I did not include the operator overloads in the .cpp files to eliminate some redundancy.

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// MediaManager.h
// Manager class for MediaData type objects
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#ifndef MediaManager_H
#define MediaManager_H
#include "MediaHash.h"
#include "MediaFactory.h"
#include "MediaData.h"
using namespace std;
class MediaManager {

C++ :: Define A Class That Only Inherits From Parent Class And Takes One Argument

Jan 5, 2015

In the project I'm currently working on I define a class that only inherits from a parent class and takes one argument.

Does this class need to be defined in the header or source file? I read different answers around the internet.

Or is it better to always split definition and logica, even for something like an operator?

C++ :: Class Function That Uses Instance Of Its Child Class As Argument

Mar 1, 2013

I am facing a real-life problem, it can be simplified as below:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class B;
class A {
public:
void f1(A a) {}
void f2(B b) {}

[Code]...

There is no problem at all with the f1(), it compiles and executes without any problem. But f2() gives compilation error. How to solve this?

The error message is: error: 'b' has incomplete type This is just to define the function f2() in a class, that uses an instance of its child class as one of its arguments.

C++ :: How To Redefine A Constructor From Parent Class

Jul 14, 2014

Firstly I don't really know if this is possible.

This is my Class Diagram: [URL]...

github: [URL]...

I want to redefine the price object of the Book Class. However price is defined at Products Class.

I want the price value change according to the marker value, which is a Book attribute.

If the marker is blue, price gets a value of 10 (e.g.), if it has another value, price is equal to 20.

C++ :: Overriding Virtual Operator Of Parent Class

Mar 20, 2013

Below is simplified code consists of two classes, namely Parent and Child.

Child is inherited from Parent.

All member functions of class Parent are declared virtual, and they have been overridden in the class Child.

Code 1:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define QUANTITY 5
class Parent {

[Code] ....

The output of the code:

Child::showID() -- ID is 1804289383
Child::showID() -- ID is 846930886
Child::showID() -- ID is 1681692777
Child::showID() -- ID is 1714636915
Child::showID() -- ID is 1957747793

Parent::operator=() invoked.

Child::showID() -- ID is 1804289383
Child::showID() -- ID is 846930886
Child::showID() -- ID is 1714636915
Child::showID() -- ID is 1714636915
Child::showID() -- ID is 1957747793

Question:

Why is Parent::operator= invoked instead of Child::operator= ..?

Isn't it already declared virtual and hence would be overridden..?

I need to invoke Child::operator= instead. How to achieve this?

C++ :: Cannot Access Protected Members Of Parent Class

Oct 22, 2014

I am doing C++ data structures exercises, and I am still learning some of the more basic concepts. I have a parent class:

template<class T>
class linkedListType {
public:
protected:
int count;
nodeType<T> *first;
nodeType<T> *last;
private:
};

Derived class:

#include "linkedListType.h"
template<class T>
class orderedLinkedList: public linkedListType<T> {
public:
void mergeList(orderedLinkedList<T> &list1, orderedLinkedList<t> &list2) {
first = list1.first;
...
} private:
};

There is more code in my mergeList() function, but I included the line that is giving me problems. The error that my CodeBlocks compiler is giving me is that 'first' was not declared in this scope.

Strangely enough, if I change it to this->first, the error disappears.

1. Why does it not recognise 'first'?
2. Why would this->first work at all? Is the 'this' object a smart pointer?

C++ :: Automatically Attaching Objects To Parent Class

Jul 8, 2013

In my program, I create controls by deriving base objects of them I've made. These controls are then are attached within the OnCreate() function via a method I've created. For example:

Code:
class tChat: public TextBox {
public:
void OnKeyDown(UINT &KeyCode) {
if (KeyCode == VK_RETURN) {
MessageBox(NULL, "Pressed enter!", NULL, 0);
[Code] ....

The use of AddControl() feels quite redundant and is only their to parse a pointer to txtChat's Parent. I'm trying to see if it's possible to remove this line and automatically associate txtChat to fMain.

Currently my hierarchy looks like:

[User's derived Form] -> [MDIForm or Form] -> [FormBase] -> [Object]
[User's derived Control] -> [TextBox, etc..] -> [Control] -> [Object]

The user can then derive the Form and Controls and use their virtual OnEVENT functions to handle all the messages they expose.

So far my first concept is using the order-of-creation based on base-class constructor's being fired to determine which object is associated with what.

If I create a copy of a class (i.e. a Form-derived object), first the Form's constructor is fired, and then the constructor's of any class-based member-variables are fired. Is this a safe assumption? I imagine the only time this could be affected is by another thread creating the object of a Form or Control derivative?

If this assumption is true, I could save the 'this' pointer from the FormBase constructor, and then associate it with each Control via the base Control class' constructor? Then to ensure thread-safety, I could map the current FormBase pointer to the local thread id to ensure no conflict if multiply threads are creating forms at the same time?

I've created some mock-up code before trying to implement this into my main code. The following keeps track of the current Form being created by using a ThreadId-based map. When a control is created it gets the FormBase pointer based of it's ThreadId calling. The control then calls an Attach() function of it's parent Form using the pointer it just got, and parses a pointer to the control. The Form then adds the control's pointer to a list. When the Form eventually parses WM_CREATE, it automatically pulls the controls from the list and fires their virtual Create() functions to build them.

Mock-up:

Code:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <list>
class FormBase;// Forward declaration
class FormMap;// Forward declaration
class Object {};// Base Object

[Code] ....

Is this plausible to use? I imagine C++ does not have many "guarantees" about how it creates objects and when. But I thought it would be safe that it would never create member-variables before the class of them is first created?

C++ :: Function Overloading In Child Class?

Jan 17, 2014

I am facing some problems while overloading base class functoin in child class. I have 2 programs as listed below.

Program 1 :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class base
{

[Code].....

Compilation Errors:

child_overload.cpp: In function "int main()":
child_overload.cpp:27: error: no matching function for call to "child::func(const char [16])"
child_overload.cpp:17: note: candidates are: void child::func(double)

I thought as base class members are also as part of child class through "public" access specifier, it should access base class function, when funct() is called with a string. if I use "using base::func" in child, it works fine. But why I need that when base class memebers are part of child class?

C++ :: Reflect Child Classes From Base Class

Nov 26, 2013

We want a solution in C++ that must be able to do the following:

Given a string of particular type, lets say 'A', we want to find all the types that derives from 'A'.

Instantiate new objects out of the types that are derived from 'A'.

E.g. Lets say we have a class, VehicleEntity. VehicleEntityhas child classes, PassangerCarEntity, TruckEntity, TrainEntity, BoatEntity.

We are unsure what vehicle entities there may be as the a library could be added containing more VehicleEntities. E.g. an AirplaneEntity thaterives from VehicleEntity could be added after deployment.

In the application, when a user wants to select a VehicleEntity, the user should be able to pick any of the entities deriving from VehicleEntity. This includes the PassangerCarEntity, TruckEntity, TrainEntity, BoatEntity and AirplaneEntity. The user selects an Entity, lets say AirplaneEntity, A new object of type AirplaneEntity must be instantiated.

The following is an concept example in C# of what we want to achieve in C++.

In C# the items for the dropdown list can be retrieved as follows:

Type vehicleEntityType = typeof(VehicleEntity);
List<Type> types = new List<Type>();
foreach (Assembly assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())

[Code] .....

We are aware that standard C++ does not contain any Metadata on its objects, and thus it is not possible without a workaround. It does not seem possible with RTTI and boost.Mirror.
