C# :: How To Copy Characters From Console Window Verbatim
Dec 17, 2011
I used the Console's CursorLeft and CursorTop properties to specify the exact areas of the screen where I wanted to print information. I ended up with a 'table' full of data.
Then I used the System.Diagnostics.Trace class and added a TextWriterTraceListener and a ConsoleTraceListener object to its Listeners collection.
Then I replaced all the instances of Console.Write with Trace.Write.
The data displayed as expected on the console. But on the text file the info was printed in the same order the info was outputted to the Console. ie: all the characters used to separate rows lumped together, followed by all the characters used to separate columns lumped together, followed by the actual data that was printed between those characters, all lumped together.
I can see why I ended up with this mess. The TextWriter is oblivious of the fact that the Console's cursor position was arbitrarily modified by the application code before and after each character and piece of data was printed to the Console.
Is there a way I can just grab the text that was printed to the console, ignoring the actual order in which the individual characters were printed, and save it as a string or directly print it to a file exactly as-it-is?

I am writing a program for my beginning c++ class. It is supposed to create an invoice in the console window. so far, everything is working perfectly, except for one thing. My invoice comes out looking like this:
696.60 - 27 Adult Meals at $25.80 each.
+ 46.44 - 3 Child Meals at $15.48 each.
--------
743.04 - Total Cost of All Meals (Add the above numbers together)
+ 52.01 - Weekend Surcharge (743.04 x .07)
+143.11 - Tax/Tip ((743.04 + 52.01) x .18)
--------
938.16 - Total Party Cost
- 57.50 - Deposit Received
--------
880.66 - Balance Due
- 32.84 - 3.5% Prompt Payment Discount (938.16 x .035)
--------
847.83 - Balance Due (If Paid Within Ten Days)
The problem is that if I add these numbers on a calculator, I get as result of $847.82, not $847.83. I checked them individually and they are all being rounded properly. If I add them up using the entire decimal value of the calculations, rather than the truncated value, I get $847.83.
So, the question is as follows: In C++, how do I do each calculation, round the answer to 2 decimal places, then use only the rounded number in the next calculation?

I used to use OutputDebugString, and not using it now because it only allows to strings to be outputted, are there any methods that I can dump virtually anything to the console?
cout << thing << endl;
But what if I am not start running the program from the command prompt?

Now i have no copy of any data printed on console/command prompt or whatever you say it. My question is how can i copy following strings from console?

After I cleared the first vector and copy the second in it there still some characters left behind after copying. How is that possible?
Code:
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

Using cin.sync() works great so far, but my program still breaks if you copy something with multiple lines into the console.
string test = "";
while(true) {
cin.sync();
getline(cin, test );
cout << endl << "test: " << test << endl;
}
However, if you were to copy this:
1
2
3
and paste it into the program, the output would be1
2
3
test: 1
test: 2
And if you press enter one more time:1
2
3
test: 1
test: 2
test: 3
The 3 finally pops out.

Im supposed to find the common characters between two string characters, assuming that the user wont input duplicate letters like ddog. When I run my code I get an output of a question mark upside down. Here is my code with comments on what each part is supposed to do
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(){
char str1[20], str2[20],remp = ' ';
int size1,i,j,temp;
printf ("Input the first string");

I have an array of characters. I am trying to find "houston". The only way I can think of to do this is to use a for loop and check each individual character. Is there an easier way to do this?
char string[] = "Fishing tourism miami atlanta dallas houston";

I want to make a window tgat stays always on top like that of a cybercafe software. A window that cannot be closed, minimised, deactivated, etc... with wxWidgets.
So far I've tried making a frame window with the wxSTAY_ON_TOP flag. It works, but not to perfection because, when i press the windows button, the start menu interferes with the window(and taskbar too). Also, the task manager, how to deactivate it.
- a wjndow that strictly stays on top
- deactivate task manager

how to make a window in C++? I am trying to make a program that has a boot screen but I want it to be in its own window because it will have it's own pictures in it and text inside too. So not in a terminal but inside a external window.

#include <stdio.h>
#define M 50

There is only one thing I need here. When the paint program is opened I need it to automatically open it maximized. Other than that my code works perfectly for what I'm trying to build.
It has to be maximized so when a friend opens it after I send it to him, it auto maximizes and doesn't start drawing on his desktop.
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
system("start C:/Windows/System32/mspaint.exe");
FreeConsole();
Sleep(1000);

#include <SDL.h>
#include <SDL_image.h>
#include <SDL_mixer.h>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv){

I don't know how to get window title text of same process without setting a foreground window.
My code:
Using it, I get window handle.
struct handle_data {
unsigned long process_id;
HWND best_handle;
};
BOOL is_main_window(HWND handle) {
return GetWindow(handle, GW_OWNER) == (HWND)0 && IsWindowVisible(handle);
[Code] ....
This part doesn't work unless I use it with GetForegroundWindow(). But before using it, I have to set it. Is there any way to get window name without setting a foreground window?
unsigned long id = GetCurrentProcessId();
//HANDLE h = GetCurrentProcess();
HWND wind = find_main_window(id);
char window_title[256];
GetWindowText(wind, window_title, 256);
std::string txtt(window_title);

I've been doing some looking and this example seems like the common way to remove the close button on a wpf window. Other than catching the on_click event or using that example, is there no better way to disable/remove that button?

I want program to make bitmap from my Window. I also want to do add some additional steps which I will try to add later. But now I want to ask you how to fix the code. For some reason when I debug the code (break on line 73 of capture.cpp) there the pointer pBitmap is 0x00000000 . So how to correct the code to successfully capture Window? Here I give the complete codes:
stdafx.h
Code:
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
[Code].....
Feel free to set correct name of Window on line 17 for FindWindow() function.
PS: The code is remake of script to capture screen, which saved the bitmap to file. This is not what I want because I would be content if I could send (or maybe share!) the bitmap to ahk script which will ask my C++ program for the bitmap.

Im new to c#. In c++ I have made a window and painted it with dots and concentric circles, like a radar PPI screen. Trying to do this in c#, I can't find how to draw a single pixel on the window.
Also, what should I be drawing on: the form, panel, picturebox...?

I have created an scientific calculator application and I have a VBS script that runs some of the files. I want to create a C program that runs that VBS script. however, a command window flashes before the application opens. So basically I need a short C (or C++) program that runs a VBS script without a command window popping up. I am on Windows 8 and my compiler is GCC/G++ under cygwin. Here is what I have now that DOES NOT work.
Code:
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
ShellExecute( NULL, NULL, "StartUp.vbs", NULL, NULL, SW_HIDE);
return 0;
}

My program accepts strings, places them in a vector and then "bleeps!" out words of my choosing, in this case, "broccoli". But I'm having trouble keeping the output window open even with my Keep_window_open() implementation.
#include "iostream"
#include "string"
#include "vector"
#include "algorithm"
#include "cmath"
using namespace std;

I am having some issue with clearing cin buffer. The following code does not wait for me to see the output window and till I hit return character.
#include "iostream"
#include "stdio.h"
#include "math.h"
#include "string"
#include "sstream"
using namespace std;
[Code] ....
I tried
cin.flush, cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '
'); cin.clear(); fflush(stdin);.
None of them worked
I am working on Microsoft visual studio express 2013 for windows desktop.
