I'm thinking about writing a very simple paint program. I would like a more advanced method of inputting data into my program like colors, thickness of the brush, etc. I would like to use a GUI library so I can program buttons and menus to make input easier. Any suggestions? (I'm running Visual C++ 2005 SP1) ...
We're developing/supporting 2 large MFC applications, using VS 2005. Currently, we are looking at various MFC GUI/controls component libraries: www.bcgsoft.com : "BCGControlBar Pro" www.codejock.com : "Toolkit Pro" www.prof-uis.com : "Prof-UIS" others? The samples/demos provided for those look all great, and the feature sets seem to...
In the same vein as this question, but not entirely the same: When designing a library to be consumed by someone else, is it best to split it into as many functional unit assemblies as would make sense, or should something like toplevel namespaces be a good guide as to how to split it up, or should it all go into one huge assembly? I'm...
As a young professional in .Net, I noticed that there are plenty of .Net application blocks for build an entreprise level application. Still, I could not find a place where all these resources are gathered, as an entry point to .Net development for beginners or professional. Here is my question. Which application blocks do you use in y...
Duplicate of this and this. I'm looking for a free C or C++ cryptography library that can be embedded in a closed-source applicationand supports RSA public-key cyphering. I've found OpenSSL and Crypto++ but neither have a good documentation for a beginner. Anyone knows a good, free, C or C++ cryptography library with a decent docu...
I've noticed many questions on here from new programmers that can be solved using libraries. When a library is suggested, often times they respond "I don't want to use X library" Is it the learning curve? or ? Just curious! ...
How do you access Library items from classes other than the document class? For example, if I create a movie clip in Flash and Export it for Actionscript with the name Foo, I can do this in the document class: var f = new Foo(); this.addChild(f); And it appears on the stage, as it should. But I need to be able to create other instanc...
Hi, I have built up a number of common modules which I have been hitherto keeping in one directory and referencing from the project directories that need them. I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this ? Both the common modules and the code using them are written in C++. ...
Hey guys, I'm writing a wrapper around a C library in Objective-C. The library allows me to register callback functions when certain events occur. The register_callback_handler() function takes a function pointer as one of the parameters. My question to you gurus of programming is this: How can I represent an Objective-C method call /...
When I try to build my c++ library (in both static and dynamic mode) using visual studio 2008, in the debug folder, instead of .lib or .dll file, some .obj files are created along with an .idb and an .pdb file. how can I make visual studio build the library file? ...
We are developing a .NET plug in (class library) for an existing application within our enterprise. Its a desktop application which has preexisting support for plug ins. 1) Is there a mechanism to secure the plug in to ensure that it is only invoked by the existing desktop application? (We have no control over the desktop applications c...
I am confused by strcmp(), or rather, how it is defined by the standard. Consider comparing two strings where one contains characters outside the ASCII-7 range (0-127). The C standard defines: int strcmp(const char *s1, const char *s2); The strcmp function compares the string pointed to by s1 to the string pointed to by s2. ...
I am looking for a library that, given a tree of objects, performs a message digest or hashing on the entire structure. I want to see if an object passed to a method gets modified or not (this object contains other objects, who contain objects and so on – none are immutable). Is there a way to check if the state of any object in the ...
For a normal Flash/Flex application I would include my Unit Tests in my application project (perhaps in a tests source folder alongside my main src folder). I'd then have two application entry points: the app, and it's tests. How are people doing this for their Flex Library Projects? You know, the kind that produces a SWC file. As far a...
I'm looking for a library that will layout and display graphs (i.e. network diagrams, not charts) in 3D, with some interactivity like selecting and dragging nodes, rotating the display etc. I would like to do this in a web page so Javascript or Flash are preferable, I'd also consider Java. Having looked myself I realise the options are ...
I am looking for a rather basic command-line parser class/library for C#. All I really need it for is opening passed files, and it is not something I really feel like writing, considering it is such a small part of a much larger project that is GPL, anyways. I've seen a bunch of stuff on Code Project, but they all either have no licens...
Hi there I hope someone can help me with this as I'm unable to find the right method to do it. I am currently developing an application that should ,in a part of it, be able to enumerate all the Windows Libraries and display their contents as well. For now I was able to get the included folders for all the standard windows 7 libraries, ...
Greetings, I'm having a hell of a time finding documentation which clearly explains how to use a static library in QT Creator. I've created and compiled my static library using QT Creator (New=>Projects\C++ Library=>Set type to "Statically Linked Library"). It compiles and spits out a ".a file". The problem I encounter is when I try t...
I see that there is a few of XML processing libraries in Haskell. HaXml seems to be the most popular (according to dons) HXT seems to be the most advanced (but also the most difficult to learn thanks to arrows) xml which seems to be just the basic parser HXML seems to be abandoned tagsoup and tagchup libXML and libXML SAX bindings So...
I see a lot of questions, both here on SO and elsewhere, about "maintaining common libraries in a VCS". That is, projects foo and bar both depend on libbaz, and the questioner is wondering how they should import the source for libbaz into the VCS for each project. My question is: WTF? If libbaz is a library, then foo doesn't need its ...
