I'm working on writing a Pong game for my graphics class final project (I choose to write this, I wasn't assigned Pong) and I've run across a problem that wasn't addressed in either the book or the class. I'm trying to figure out how to bounce a point off of a line. The best method I can figure out to do this with is Calculate the ...
im currently developing a custom search engine with built-in web crawler. for some reason im not into multi-threading, thus so far my indexer was coded in single-threaded manner. Now i have a small dilema with crawler im building, can anybody suggest which is better, crawl 1 page then index it, or crawl 1000+ page and cache then index? ...
I made a static library in Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. It compiles to Win32 code in a file called static.lib. The functions in this library call SetLastError() to indicate errors or success. I have already succeeded in including this static.lib in a C++ Win32 DLL, and calling the DLL from C# using p/invoke and DllImport and SetLa...
I have a class that I've been provided that I really don't want to change, but I do want to extend. I'm a pattern and template newbie experimenting with a Decorator pattern applied to a template class. Template class contains a pointer-to-member (if I understand the semantics correctly) in yet another class. The pointer-to-member is t...
string SendRequestToServer(std::string url) { struct sockaddr_in addr = { 0 }; struct hostent *host = NULL; // If the URL begins with http://, remove it. if(url.find("http://") == 0) url.erase(0, 7); // Get the host name. string hst = url.substr(0, url.find('/', 0)); url.erase(0, url.find("/", 0)); // Connect to the host. host = geth...
Hi, What im doing here in main.cpp is reading a text file twice: once to remove the '\' from each path name, and again to supply the original name of the file to the SetPath() in my implementation File. // This a read file sub-routine called in the main function. // Its purpose was intentionally set out to read the file, and pass inform...
I'm looking for a simple lightweight Wavefront OBJ mesh file reader for C or C++. (ie. given a mesh in OBJ format, read it in from a file, and make it accessible, preferably as a list of vertices and triangles.) Recommendations? It doesn't need to support material properties or any other fancy data that might be present - just the geom...
If you take an existing C code base and compile it with a C++ compiler, what sort of issues can you expect to crop up? For example, I think that assigning an integer to an value with an enumerated type will fail in C++, whereas it's legal ( if a bit nasty ) in C. If I don't wrap all my C files in "extern C { ... }", am I going to get na...
I was thinking of doing this with C++, basically from an external editor or something the programmer can say: MyClass::dude = "hello" where 'dude' is a static integer in 'MyClass'. What the program does at runtime is it partitions the input to MyClass :: dude = "hello" and finds the class called 'MyClass' and assigns the dude variable i...
I have a COM EXE out-of-proc server exposing an API from one of its interfaces. The functionality of this API is to post URLs. My client will be creating the instance of the COM server and calling this API with new URLs. Every time client needs to post a URL it will create an instance of this COM server. Do I need to implement a queue...
I find that if there are a lot of classes the compilation time is dramatically increased when I use one *.h and one *.cpp file per class. I already use precompiled headers and incremental linking, but still the compile time is very long (yes I use boost ;) So I came up with the following trick: defined *.cpp files as non-compilable de...
HI our total project had Built on vs2003.earlier they have used SQLDMO in teheir project.Now we have palnned to use SQLSMO instead which must have .NETFRAMEWORK 2.0.But as of my knowledge vs2003 runs under .netframework1.1. Now my question is how to mix these two. my thinking is in my machine i have alresdy .NETFRAMEWORK 2.0 inst...
Is there any way to validate the contents of a CEdit box without subclassing? I want to check for invalid filename characters in a CEdit box and not allow the user to input it at all (keypress should not be recorded, if pasted in the box, the invalid characters should just not make it to the edit box).. Is there any easy way to do this...

Hi My task is pretty simple create a .net usercontrol and use it in a old visual studio 6 proejct. I have createt the usercontrol (its just a user control with a label), I then followed this guide (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828736) and it seems to work fine. But how can I display the usercontrol? Do I have to use CreateControl, a...
Hello there, I've found myself evaluating both of these libs. Apart from what the GraphicsMagick comparison says, I see that ImageMagick still got updates and it seems that the two are almost identical. So, what should I use for standard image manipulation using C++? (i.e. image load, filters, display) Thank you! QbProg ...
My CMDIFrameWndEx derived main frame window uses a CMFCRibbonStatusBar to which I add a CMFCRibbonLabel. I'd like to change the text of this label at runtime: m_pLabel->SetText(description); m_pLabel->Redraw(); It only updates the text but not the rectangle in which to draw it. So if the original text was too short, the new string won...
So I have a container(any kind, probably std::map or std::vector) which contains objects of a class with some network thing running in a thread that checks if it is still connected (the thread is defined inside that class and launches when constructed). Is there any way I can make the object delete itself from the container when its dis...
My situation is that I'm using the Lua (C) API to execute a script held in a string. I would like the user to be able to terminate the execution of the script (this is essential if the script contains an infinite loop), how can I do this? lua_State *Lua = lua_open(); char * code; // Initialisation code luaL_dostring(L, code); ...
