Oh ok! Thanks.
I will call that function in a different class though. So do I have to define another struct (lets call it MyData') and then lets say
void callFunction
{
md'.data[3]=Class::Function;
...}
How would I go about getting data[0], data[1] and data[2] then? Sorry just a bit confused as its like arrays, pointers and structs and am quite new to this.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Code like this:
MyData d1, d2;
d1 = d2;
Copies dt.data[0], dt.data[1] and dt.data[2] (and all the rest if any).

you'll have to create the MyData::operator = () member for this, otherwise, it will only copy the addresses, not the array contents...

The question said, "return this pointer array" - I believe it's the addresses that he wants copied - Although it wasn't clearly stated.

your code is incorrect because you return a local object...
>> You can't return an array
yes we can, by returning the pointer... it is exactly the same when you pass arrays as parameters to functions.

No I don't - I return a copy of a local object - This is fine. Returning a pointer or reference to a local object is where you get into trouble.

Returning a pointer is not the same as returning an array - A process called "decay" occurs and you lose the size info. With the code I gave (array in a struct) an array is returned and no decay occurs and the length is not lost - But the data is copied not referenced.

Not just that, but you also effectively change the type of the variable - an array is generally a valid location in memory (whose location cannot be changed easily), while a pointer can point to a valid location in memory. (This difference is also important when optimizing code.)

Since you have to put the returned array in an array anyway, you can create this "reception" array before calling the function and pass it as a parameter to the function. I think this is a much better solution than trying to "return" it, even burried in a struct.

Hi i am doing a project and am making a tetris game in C++ V 6.0. So far i have crated the main menu screen... now i need to draw out a grid and start to make shapes fall... it seems i dont know how to do this. Does anyone have any tips or any codes i could have a look at??
Cheers for the help guys!

The best option is probably to create a custom control and do all the drawing yourself. Take a look at the miscellaneous controls on this site to see how to make one (it is not easy). Then to make the shapes fall, I think a timer will do that.

Hi!
Another way how to find out how to do that is to have a look at some related articles here on codeproject. Just type "tetris" to the search bar and you will get some hits, e.g.:
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/CImgTetris.asp[^]
Best regards,
Marcus.

To start without debug is OK, but when I press F5 to start debugging, then it tells me that:
Debugging information for "....exe" cannot be found or does not match.
Binary was not built with debug information.
The "Solution Configurations" has already be set as "Debug".
Why cannot start debugging?
The problem only exists in C++, while C# is OK.
I've installed fully except x64 choice in C++.
VS2005 team suite edition.

Open the project propertiesm choose 'General' under the 'C/C++' item. There you should see "Debug information Format". Make sure "Program Database" at least is selected.
Hope this helps

Thank you but the problem still stay there.
Having altered the "Debug Information Format" to "Programme Database", press F5.......
The Output Window tells me that:
"
'HuffmanTree.exe': Loaded 'C:\Documents and Settings\libo\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\HuffmanTree\debug\HuffmanTree.exe', Binary was not built with debug information.
'HuffmanTree.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll', No symbols loaded.
'HuffmanTree.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', No symbols loaded.
The program '[5592] HuffmanTree.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
"
You see. I am coding the programme called "HuffmanTree", and to start without debug is OK.

Dear All,
I am using the following code to get the printer status.

The "pPrinterInfo->Status" parameter always returns "0" for the local
USB printer.Can anyone please tell me what may be the problem.
Thanking you in advance,
regards,
Ashwath Hegde.

0 might be a valid return for "normal/online/ready" status. You can check by intentionally "breaking" the printer by taking it offline, removing paper from it, opening it up, etc., and see if the status value changes accordingly.

hi,
I have checked all those conditions but it does not work.I am using Windows XP machine.Should i install any service pack for this.

I ran into similar issues with a serial port printer and one connected to the parallel port. It turns out all 'suggestions' I discovered at Microsoft or on the Internet pointed to writing a 'printer monitor' type of driver. The notion was that the actual 'status' did not 'percolate' all the way up to this function call which should OBVIOUSLY be receiving the status. So, what I am trying to say is that I don't think your problem is specific only to the USB printer.

Hi,
I want to have a palette which will have some icons.. As I click the icon the command will become active.. if I kept the left mouse button pressed, I will see the sub command Icons from which any icon can be selected by moving pressed mouse button.. this sub palette can be dragged out too to have sub palette.
Thanks

I'm holding on learning how to make dll files, and now i have desided to move my settings dialog into a project of its own, and load it when i need it, otherwise keep it unloaded. I got a problem though. I am using a friend om mines sourcecode, and he is using extern CAppModule _Module; in the executeable, and _Module is used in the settings dialog:
_Module.AddSettingChangeNotify(pThis->m_hWnd);
When i compile the dialog i get this error:
error C2065: '_Module' : undeclared identifier
My problem is: How do i get _Module into my new project?

Probabily you should declared it as extern variable. Don't know.
