Hey, all. I'm looking for a good, free graphics-based UI/GUI framework. Let's say I want to create the iPhone or Palm Pre from the ground up. How would I, using what UI framework? (Forget that Apple has created this and that libraries in the past :) just the best way to express what exactly I'm looking for.) In essence, I'm looking fo...
I have a pretty new code base written in C++. Already I'm starting to see some bad practices creeping into the project (class file with 1000+ lines of code, functions with a lot of parameters, ...). I would like to stop on these right away with some automated tools which can hook into the build and check for poor coding practices. W...
Ping is not working. Telnet is not an option, sending a mail also. Preferably a function from a library that returns true or false. Thanks. ...
One problem in large C++ projects can be build times. There is some class high up in your dependency tree which you would need to work on, but usually you avoid doing so because every build takes a very long time. You don't necessarily want to change its public interface, but maybe you want to change its private members (add a cache-vari...

I am trying to set the DF (don't fragment flag) for sending packets using UDP. Looking at the Richard Steven's book Volume 1 Unix Network Programming; The Sockets Networking API, I am unable to find how to set this. I suspect that I would do it with setsockopt() but can't find it in the table on page 193. Please suggest how this is do...

Hi I want to run regasm.exe from cmd. which is avalable in c:\windows\Microsoft.net\framework\2.057 I do like this c:\ regasm.exe It gives regasm is not recognized as internal or external command. So I understood that I need to set the path for regasm.exe in environment variable. For which variable do I need to set the path to run r...
I am getting the following error while migrating VC6 code to VS2008. This code works fine in VC6 but gives a compilation error in VC9. I know it is because of a compiler breaking change. What is the problem and how do I fix it? error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'std::_Vector_iterator<_Ty,_Alloc>' to 'STRUCT_MUX...
How do I change the border color of focused/unfocused CEdit, CListCntl, CButton in WinCE/Windows Mobile 5/6 with MFC or Win32 API? ...
My application crashes after running for around 18 hours. I am not able to debug the point in the code where it actually crashes. I checked the call stack- it does not provide any information as such. The last few calls in the call stack are greyed out-meaning I cannot see the code of that part-they all belong to MFC libraries. However...
Hello Presently, i am learning Java from the book The Art and Science of Java and following Standford's Programming Methodology Course. I would like to do game programming, but only as a hobby. I was thinking, would Java be a good choice or is C++ the defacto in game programming. ...
How can I get the Visual Studio debugger to ignore certain source files? In other words, I would like it to behave as if the functions defined in those files had no debugging info, so that: When stepping into code, it will ignore functions defined in those files (a smart pointer operator-> is an example where this is useful) If the deb...
Hello. I want to send a double click to a listview. From what I've read on msdn it seems I gotta send a WM_NOTIFY message and something with NM_DBLCLK. But I do not understand really well hwo to implement it. I've worked with SendMessage before but MSDN is not that clear on how to fill the structs and so: WM_NOTIFY http://msdn.microsoft...

What is the best practice when returning a smart pointer, for example a boost::shared_ptr? Should I by standard return the smart pointer, or the underlying raw pointer? I come from C# so I tend to always return smart pointers, because it feels right. Like this (skipping const-correctness for shorter code): class X { public: boost::...
I'm writing a (Win32 Console) program that wraps another process; it takes parameters as in the following example: runas.exe user notepad foo.txt That is: runas parses user and then will run notepad, passing the remaining parameters. My problem is that argv is broken down into individual parameters, but CreateProcessAsUser requires a...
One of the C++0x improvements that will allow to write more efficient C++ code is the unique_ptr smart pointer (too bad, that it will not allow moving through memmove() like operations: the proposal didn't make into the draft). What are other performance improvements in upcoming standard? Take following code for example: vector<char *>...
I've editted a struct, added some members, removed others. But when I'm debugging, it doesn't show the new members, but is still showing some old members. It's very annoying. This is the struct. It doesn't show the firstFreeSpot int. But a vector called appointments, which I removed. This is the struct. struct AppointmentHour { string ...
