We use one big enum for message passing and there are optional parts of our code base that use specific messages that really only need to be added to the enum if those parts are to be compiled in. Is there a way to define a macro that could do this or something similar? I would like to be able to just add REGISTER_MSG(MESSAGE_NAME); to ...
Hello, Ive been looking a long time for this, but can't seem to find it. When I add a menu strip in vb .net, it looks like this: and I want it to look like the WinRar, Calculator, Notepad etc menus like this: From what I gathered, in vb 6 you could create a mainmenu and do it this way, but in vb .net it seems like all there is is...
After running some hours my application fails in creating a new font object: CreateFontIndirect() returns NULL. I know how to find memory leaks (i.e. using parallel inspector or another profiler - most of them include leak detection). But how can i locate a ressource leak in Win32? ...

Is there any freely available C++ DateTime class that I can use to Convert...
I'm attempting to capture an event on a GTK window when the window is moved. I'm doing so with something that looks like this: void mycallback(GtkWindow* parentWindow, GdkEvent* event, gpointer data) { // do something... } ...

I am using MFC to write a GUI application. I chose dialog-based application, and put picture control, edit box and buttons on it. When the picture control is mapped to the class derived from CWnd using DDX_Control, all the message boxes (including default system message box pop up when you enter invalid input in the edit box) are hidden...
vector<int>::iterator it; vector<int> p; p.push_back(4); p.push_back(5); p.push_back(6); p.push_back(7); it = p.begin() + 2; cout << it << endl; Is this O(N) or O(1)? And why? ...
I have a winxp process which has all sorts of dlls and static libs. One of our libs is calling ms debug dlls, I have a suspicion which one it is but want to prove it in a tool like Process Explorer. How can I get a tree of my process, to see exactly who is loading what modules? ...
Given a DLL with the following classes : #define DLLAPI __declspec(...) class DLLAPI Base { public: virtual void B(); }; class Derived : public Base { public: virtual void B(); virtual void D(); }; Will my "Derived" class be visible outside of the dll even if the "DLLAPI" keyword is not applied to the class defin...
Is it better to cast the iterator condition right operand from size_t to int, or iterate potentially past the maximum value of int? Is the answer implementation specific? int a; for (size_t i = 0; i < vect.size(); i++) { if (some_func((int)i)) { a = (int)i; } } int a; for (int i = 0; i < (int)vect.size(); i++) { ...
I have the following line of code in my application: CString strAppName = AfxGetAppName(); Sometimes it fills strAppName up with garbage characters, and I can't figure out why. Anyone have any ideas? TIA. ...
I am writing an application which does a lot of manipulation with decimal numbers (e.g. 57.65). As multiplications and divisions quickly erode their accuracy, I would like to store the numbers in a class which preserves their accuracy after manipulation, rather than rely on float and double. I am talking about something like this: clas...
Hi all! I'm using Code::Blocks with MinGW to write my C++ applications in Windows XP. Now I want to compile my code to run under an MS DOS environment, so I can put it on my DOS formatted floppy disc. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance. P.S. I don't mean the Command Prompt, but really the good old MS DOS Operating System. ...
I'm looking for a book or books about multicore, multithreaded programming. The perfect book should focus on best practices and maybe include a bit of theory background. I'm not interested in a book which only describes a single library and focuses on its API. OS actually doesn't matter. ...
Here's the setup: My coworker has a Fedora x64_86 machine with a gcc 4.3.3 cross compiler (from buildroot). I have an Ubuntu 9.04 x64_86 machine with the same cross compiler. My coworker built an a library + test app that works on a test machine, I compiled the same library and testapp and it crashes on the same test machine. As far...
I am writing a Visual Studio add-in to process C++ code, and think that COM interop is slowing me down to much. I therefore want to pass a C# reference to a COM object to a small C++ DLL, have the DLL perform the necessary calculations and return back a string. I would be passing a CodeFunction2 object to the DLL and getting an XML str...
Hello, I created two simple functions which get template parameters and an empty struct defining a type: //S<T>::type results in T& template <class T> struct S { typedef typename T& type; }; //Example 1: get one parameter by reference and return it by value template <class A> A temp(typename S<A>::type a1) { return a1; } //Exa...
BOOST_FOREACH is really neat, but the C macro style of writing is somewhat off-putting. Is there a trick to avoid the all-caps spelling? ...
I have a c++ console app that has been doing just fine and upon clean make started throwing compiler errors.
