The typical way to define an integer constant to use inside a function is: const int NumbeOfElements = 10; the same for using within a class: class Class { ... static const int NumberOfElements = 10; }; It can then be used as a fixed-size array bound which means it is known at compile time. Long ago compilers didn't support th...
I need to ask questions and get responses as quickly as possible. I know Stack Overflow is really very good, but I want to get another forum better suited for discussions with other programmers. ...
I'm running a QT app (VS2005) and have spawned a dialog from that app, but if I add a cancel button to that dialog with a reject() slot then yes, the dialog closes and returns the correct result but my whole app closes down as well. This is annoying me and I can't find any hint as to why; any suggestions gratefully recieved ...
I've run into an issue catching a std::invalid_argument exception that I'm not able to trace. I'm using gcc 4.4.0 (windows), pthreads-win32 2.8.0 the GC2 dll. Basically, from two threads (main thread and a thread started using pthread_create), I try to create an instance of class A at roughly the same time. The constructor throws an st...
Dears, I've got a DLL for injection. This is injected via CBT-hook. Now, when the desired process is encountered via CBT, I've detoured WinAPI's ExtTextOutW with my own. The specification of ExtTextOutW is: BOOL ExtTextOutW(HDC hdc, INT x, INT y, UINT fl...
Banging my head today ;) Over here I asked about translating an ASM file to C, and from the responses it looked like there was no reasonable way to do it. Fine. So one of the responses suggested I just make use of the functions as-is and be done with it. Sounds good. But how? Holy crap I've tried everything I can think of! I'm usi...
In Eclipse, is there a keyboard shortcut for switching the editor view from viewing a .cpp file to a corresponding .h file, and vice versa? ...
My personal opinion is that any programmer should learn (procedural) C/C++. You can only benefit from learning it, even if you don’t use it regularly. But is it worth programming with OOP in C++? Are there any advantages that you can gain from doing this? What do you think? ...
I have this serious problem. I have an enumeration within 2 namespaces like this : namespace FANLib { namespace ERROR { enum TYPE { /// FSL error codes FSL_PARSER_FILE_IERROR,... and somewhere else in my code, I use it like this : FANLib::Log::internalLog(FSLParser::FILE_IERROR, file_ierror, true, FANLib::ERROR::FSL_PARSER_FIL...
What would the usage of .NET give me, that i don't have using Win32 - and sometimes maybe googling for some 50-100 Lines of code i can reuse? I am developing Win32 since it exists (> 15 years). Its straight forward and very robust, although sometimes it needs some more calls than you'd expect, and of course you need to keep track of han...
Hi, sorry, I was looking for information about this topic but I did not find anything useful so I post here the probably trivial question. I use eclipse galileo cdt in mac os x. I create watchpoints, and for some of them I am able to specify that the debug run stops when the variable takes some value, for instance aaa==10. But I want n...
Hi there, in the past we encountered various memory-leaks in our software. We found out that these happened mostly due to incorrect usage of our own "free"-Methods, which free Queue-Message-Data and the likes. The problem is, in our deepest tool-functions there are two methods to free up dynamically allocated memory, with the followin...
I have a custom Menu class written in C++. To seperate the code into easy-to-read functions I am using Callbacks. Since I don't want to use Singletons for the Host of the Menu I provide another parameter (target) which will be given to the callback as the first parameter (some kind of workaround for the missing "this" reference). Regis...
This is a C++ question. I have a class that contains a string: class MyClass{ public: std::string s; }; And I have an array of MyClass objects: MyClass * array = MyClass[3]; Now I want to write the array as binaries into a file. I cannot use: Ofstream.write((char *)array, 3 * sizeof(MyClass)) because the size of MyClass varies. ...
I'm writing some C++ code that needs to call the CopyFileEx function. The documentation for CopyFileEx, like most other WIN32 functions, says: If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError. Which is all well and good - however does anyone know where I can find a list of the error...
Hello, I want to test left and right buttons of mouse in C++. I have float variable its value is 100.00f,If I click left button,its value will increase 1.5f. When I click right button,its value will decrease 1.5f. How can I do this? Could you help me please? Best Regards... ...
I am very new to C++ and I am wondering how you output/write variables declared as double to a txt file. I know about how to output strings using fstream but I cant figure out how to send anything else. I am starting to think that you can't send anything but strings to a text file is that correct? If so then how would you convert the inf...
Our app is built using Qt and I would like to use a framework similar to Sparkle in our Windows version, to replace our custom solution. Is there anything like this ? ...
I would like to be able to measure the features in our application that are being used. For example how much certain windows are opened, certain controls are clicked. I can imagine a tool that measures this and sends a report to a web server, that can further process it to create meaningful data from it ...
Hello! I'm trying to run elevated process, say, file_copier.exe, from another host process with ShellExecuteEx and lpVerb = "runas" on Vista. It shows UAC dialog and runs elevated, and copies files to "dangerous" folders, but it does not overwrite existing files (exe's). I've read here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/UAC...
