You need to make sure that the cpp file has the "stdafx.h" file included in it. this is the precompiled header file.

1/ Open a CP account
2/ Post this question on the article in question.
Because you have opened an account, the author will get an email letting them know you asked the question.
BTW in this case, the problem is that the original article must have used automatic inclusion of precompiled headers, so go to the project settings and set them to automatically use stdafx as a precompiled header, instead of always doing so. Or #include "stdafx.h" at the top of the cpp file, but I presume he had a reason for not doing so in the first instance.

Hi.
Is it possible to enable/disable a message from the message for a time interval?
For example, let say I have a program that plays AVI files. For the first ten seconds, I want to disable the open button. I can disable a button. However, I found that if the user clicks on it while it is disabled, the framework keeps the message and class the message handler after I enable the button.
Is it possible to disable a button *completely*, or even better, ignore/unignore a specific message?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

m, the button is either disabled or not disabled. Possibly what is happening is the button is not even getting the mouse message until after it is re-enabled; ensure you are processing messages at an acceptable rate.

Well actually they are sort of interesting Nish, on Nudes

You could remove all the WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages from the message queue before reenabling the button.
Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

I want to be able to automate my stock buying and selling, so I can go to work and not worry that I my stock will go down while I'm a way.
I want my computer to enter the stock symbol of my stock into for example msn, and then be able to parse the price from the site. It would then connect to my financial site and then be able to push the submit button to make the transaction.
What are the technologies that will enable me to do this? The sites are not XML enabled. Your help will greatly be appricated! What Functions do I need to call to do this? THanks in advance!!!

Is this a bug in MS's stl string code?
In this case _E would be sizeof(char). Why then would you make _MIN_SIZE 31 for a char but 7 for some data type that's larger than 31 bytes?
XSTRING line 519:
enum {_MIN_SIZE = sizeof (_E) <= 32 ? 31 : 7};

This is just an internal optimization trick. _MIN_SIZE is the minimum capacity a basic_string<E> can have. The purpose of this boundary is- to avoid memory fragmentation due to huge amounts of tiny blocks being reserved
- and to provide a reasonable starting size that a significant portion of strings will fit in without further reallocations.
So for small-sized types (like char), the minimum capacity is no less than 31 bytes, while for larger types we moderate our first reservation to 7*sizeof(E) bytes.

What's the best way to optimize this min size? Hack the code and redefine the min size?
I've been trying to use the swap trick to minimize memory usage but the little sucker wont budge beyond 31 bytes. I don't want to switch to vectors since I use a lot of the string functions.
I was trying to use stlport but the current version doens't like having VC6, .NET and the Platform SDK on the same computer. It refuses to compile.

Sorry, I would have to check my work computer. Make sure you read the STLPort release notes. There are some things for VS.NET you have to watch out for.

I have a function: CString CMyView::GetNextString( ifstream &File ). Now that has been working for quite a while and all of a sudden I'm getting an error that says syntax error: identifier 'ifstream' and points to the the function declaration. I have the #include "fstream.h". It was working but now its not. Any reason why it just stopped working and how to fix it?

I haven't used ifstream in a while, but as i recall you want to use
#include <fstream> not
#include "fstream.h".

Sip my mind.

Did you migrate to .NET ? Maybe it finally removes the deprecated header fstream.h. As has been said already, you should use #include <fstream> and then you need using std::fstream; as well.
What else has changed in your project ? Things don't just stop working by themselves, it must no longer be able to see the header.

I havent moved to .NET .I tried useing #include < fstream > and I got 16 errors.
When I fisrt added my function I got that same error. Then I deleted the function, rewrote it and it worked for some reason. I added other functions(a change) and then the error reocurred. I tried rewriting the function but it doesnt work now.
Could you explain the std::fstream a little? I've never seen that before and it might be the solution.
Thanks for the help.

Try this. In every .cpp of your project, right after the #includes write
using namespace std; This is usually labelled as a big no-no as C++ coding style goes, but it should get your program working with minimum effort.
If you want to know more about namespaces (that's what std is), have a look at (for instance) this tutorial.

Is there no namespaces tutorial in CP ? Hmm... I've been wanting to play with unnamed namespaces for a while, maybe I should write an article.....

None that I know of... Unnamed namespaces are rather exotic constructs, and (IMHO) students of C++ will have a hard time learning their uses (so a tutorial of yours might be just very well called for  ). To make things worse, the standard guys are considering deprecating static where it means "local to the current compilation unit" in favor of unnamed spaces --a controversial and little advantageous decision in my opinion.

To be honest, my manager showed them to me and the purpose of the tutorial would at least partly be to understand their uses fully myself. It looked exciting, but I need to play with it to appreciate it a bit better.

Why do they want to do that ? From what I've seen of the stuff they want to include in the next standard ( threads, GUI stuff) ,I think the standards committe may be running out of useful things to talk about.

As always, the crowd cheers and roars at your upcoming tutorial If you accept suggestions, there's an interesting subject in connection with namespaces that you might find worth writing about, namely the use of namespaces to support versioning: the library vendor just releases upgrades with different namespaces (say wonderlibrary1_0, wonderlibrary2_0, etc.) and the user decides the actual version she wants to use with
namespace wonderlibrary{
using namespace wonderlibrary2_5;
}Cute, isn't it.
Why do they want to do that ?
Don't know. I guess you can find explanations in comp.lang.c++.moderated. To be precise, the declaration has been annonunced from the latest 98 standard.

Hey - that *is* a cool idea. I will definately make mention of it.

Simply, using the right header ( fstream, not fstream.h ) wraps all of the included stuff in namespace std, so including the right header would break your code in the 16 places you used fstream unless you also did a using std:: statement for each item you use from the header, or using namespace std;, which is evil and pointless, you may as well stick with the deprecated header if you do that.
Also, I forget - did you pass in a stream, or a *reference* to a stream ?

I passed it as a reference to a stream. Is that the problem?
