Visual C++ :: How To Determine Cross Platform Type During File Save
Nov 10, 2014
I am overriding OnSaveDocument in my MFC document class to strip out the carriage returns when saving my app's document to a UNIX file system but not when the user is saving a file to a Windows file system.
Is there a way to determine if the lpszPathName in OnSaveDocument(LPCTSTR lpszPathName) is a UNIX or Windows file system?
Note, I want to avoid hard coding server names and I want to avoid overriding the FileSave dialog and forcing the user to select Windows or UNIX.
I am planning to develop a GUI that will run on Windows, Linux, Android & iOS. If am right, VC++ apps don't work on Linux, Android & iOS. Is that correct?
Is there an alternative to that? Which other tool works for GUI development on above mentioned 4 platforms?
I'm working on a project which uses gtk+ and gtkmm. We use them in preference to MFC because the program needs to be cross-platform. For quite a long time, customers on OS-X and Linux have sometimes complained that the program would crash during shutdown but the Windows version (which I work on) never seemed to suffer. However, I'm now transferring my build environment to a new PC and I'm noticing the same shutdown crashes. It's a bit complicated so let me start with a small example:-
Code: namespace Whatever { class B { public: virtual ~B(); private: int bb;
[Code] ....
Suppose I run the above program. When it stops at breakpoint #1 I make a note of the value of pA. Eventually the program reaches breakpoints #2 and #3. At each point my this pointer is exactly the same number. If the value of pA was 0x03604fb0, my this pointer is identical at both stages.
Suppose I run the real example. At breakpoint #1 the value of pW is 0x03604fb0. But by the time I reach breakpoint #2 my this point is slightly different:- 0x03604fcc. It doesn't seem right to me and I'm wondering if it might be contributing to our shutdown crashes.
I discussed a topic about how to write cross-platform file IO code with a member named Disch for about a year ago. Since I am a beginner I am not sure if the "rules" for doing this has changed or not within C++.
He taught me that differenct CPU:s use different endianness when reading and writing to files. However, why can't the C++ standard file IO functions detect what endianness should be used on the current machine that is running the program? Why didn't the developers who created the standard library develop file IO functions that are cross-platform from the beginning? Have the rules changed since last year?
What I learn is that if you need to store data in files that will be read and written to on different machines, you have to define in the program what endianness should be used. For example, if I needed to store 4 bytes, I had to do this manually with my own functions and define in those which endianness is used.
System();is bad, I get that. Is there another way, that works across platforms I can use to execute an external program. If not, is there a windows specific way.
In my game, I want to display dialogues for exceptions, and I don't really want to use something heavy like Qt, but then I also don't want to write and maintain my own platform-specific code to do it. Is there any library that can display simple message dialogues, just a few lines of text and an OK button, without being complete overkill like a full-blown GUI library?
I am starting a turn based battle (similar to pokemon) app. How could i make this and make it cross platform. Also is it possible to make it access gps and allow other devices with the same app communicate with each other?
I have done things on the command line but i never made anything with images so i dont even know where to start for this app.
I am trying to develop a GUI using MFC, but I am having trouble using CFiledialog to save a file. The problem is, the file is not getting saved to the folder when I use the CFiledialog. Below is the code I am using.
list contains, in order: A, B and C in any order, D, E
I am thinking it is possible with some clever template and polymorphism combos, but maybe not. As a last resort I know how to make it work by storing static type information in each class, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
I have this code, where I capture window and make copy to bitmap of it. I am working on rotation of bitmap. But my problem is that when I save the image to file the result is just a black screen. It looks like there could be some problem either in GdipCreateBitmapFromHBITMAP() or GdipGetImageGraphicsContext()
How to fix it and to get the rotated image?
Code: // CODE 81 and 82 de facto no difference #defineCODE85 // 81 #defineWINDOW_MIN_HEIGHT200
Originally I had to create a simple integer palindrome program that looped while the user entered 5 digit inputs (entering -1 stopped the loop). I did this using a conversion to string, reading the length to determine if the length was valid, and then reading the string forward and backwards inside of a while loop. (snippet below)
while( digitsEntered != -1)//Allow user to quit by entering -1 to end the loop { ostringstream convert;//conversion stream convert << digitsEntered;//converted text from number goes in the stream convertedString = convert.str();//store the resulting conversion to convertedString
[Code] ....
The next stage of this program was to do the same thing with strings instead of integers. However, the option to end the loop by entering -1 is still a requirement.
I think the way to do this is to first determining whether the input is a string or an integer, and if it is a string then read it and if it's an integer determine if it's -1. However, whenever I write code to do this, it converts strings to 0 so the string is not stored and cannot be read to determine if it is a palindrome. Is there a way to determine the type of input without converting it into a different type i.e. read string and then keep string or read number and keep number?
Write a program that will prompt a user to enter a single character, the prompting will continue till a sentinel value is entered. For each character entered perform the following tests and print out a relevant message if the character passes the test. Print out a default message if the character does not pass any of the tests.
Tests that should be in program: Punctuation, Upper Case, Digit, White Space.
Sample Run: “A”, “a”, “7”, <tab>, “?”, “$”
So far I have the following code done. The problem is that when I run the program, the first character is correctly identified. However, every character afterwards is defined as a whitespace character.
#include <iostream> #include <cctype> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main() { char input; char response;
I have part of a class that checks to make sure there is a fault that lasts for 60 seconds. The code below is written several times throughout the class for different subsystems dealing with overcurrent.
// Over Current if (UUV->getCTaps(MOTORCURRPOS_1) > 1.4*UUV->getcurrMode.getMotor().Peak) // The fault { if (motor1Timer == NULL) motor1Timer = time(&timer); else if ( time(&timer) - motor1Timer >= 60) motor1Over = true; } else motor1Timer = NULL;
The timing statement is okay because it works on all of the other fault checkers. It is the if statement that is causing the error I just do not know why.
The project builds on Win32 platform, but not on x64.
Full error message: dllentry.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class CFactoryTemplate * g_Templates" (?g_Templates@@3PAVCFactoryTemplate@@A)
The dllentry.cpp (a DirectShow base class) compiles on both platforms. It contains the external declarations:
extern CFactoryTemplate g_Templates[]; extern int g_cTemplates; g_Templates[] is then used in two functions: __control_entrypoint(DllExport) STDAPI DllGetClassObject(__in REFCLSID rClsID, __in REFIID riid, __deref_out void **pv)
[Code]...
myClass.cpp contains the definitions for the two externals in dllentry.cpp, at top level, just after the includes:
CFactoryTemplate* g_Templates=0; int g_cTemplates=0;
myClass.cpp also compiles by itself, but the project does not build. I checked all the libraries in the project settings and all seems to be OK, the 64 bit versions are used.
What should I do to make the project build for x64 platform?
I'm trying to determine (from my Win32 process) if a Metro (or a Modern UI) app is currently displayed on the screen. I found the IAppVisibility::GetAppVisibilityOnMonitor method that can do just that, and I even found a C++ sample, but my issue is that I'm compiling it with the Visual Studio 2008 that does not have the definitions for the IAppVisibility interface, so the following:
This program is incomplete as I am having difficulty creating the function that needs to find the number of perfect scores entered by the user. I have everything but the function complete ,here is my code:
Code: // Write a modular program that accepts at least 10 integer test scores from the user and stores them in an array. // The main should display how many perfect scores were entered (i.e., scores of 100), using a value-returning countPerfect function. // Input validation: Do not accept scores less than 0 or greater than 100.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int countPerfect(int intArray[], int); // Function prototype
I am making an eVoting program which takes input from .txt file and outputs in the same .txt file. I need to ask the user to enter the candidate they wish to vote and then read the previous tally from the .txt file and add one to it. The problem is determining the numbers in a .txt file and adding one to it.
For example voting_Tally.txt contains:
Bloomberg 1234 Bill De Blasio 6789
How would it be possible to first determine the name and then add one to their tally. For Example:
I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of the 'Save changes to Untitled?' message box that appears every time my SDI split app tries to load a new file. The problem is that the message appears inappropriately, both when no previous document has been loaded or should exist, and even after File / New has been envoked. I have attached a small demo program to demo the problem. Inspecting the SpVwTrDoc.cpp NewDocument and OnOpenDocument, and elsewhere, you will see that using SetModifiedFlag(FALSE); has no effect.
How can I save an CDocument programatically, without to bring him to the top, only if I get a pointer to that document ? I mean if I have several document opened into a MDI app, and if I have a pointer to one of them, to save it without to turn them as active childs ?
