You only get an exception when you do something that results in an exception being thrown. d being uninitialized is a coding error, not a runtime error. open() is not documented as throwing on error, instead it calls setstate(failbit) on the object.

I see, thanks.
Could you tell me a way to get an exception without explicitly throwing one?
I want to see for myself how it works, so I can use it myself later.
Or am I approaching this from the wrong direction?
I'm used to everything throwing an exception the moment something doesn't work in C# but in C++ they don't seem to occur nearly as often.
Is it better to not worry that much about them and focus rather on catching errors by structuring the program in a way that it tells you what went wrong without exceptions?
Like simply displaying a message if a file wasn't found, the user inputted a string instead of a number, etc.?

Not sure I understand. If the code you're calling doesn't throw exceptions, then the only way to generate an exception is to throw one yourself.

MS decreed that exceptions were the way to signal errors in .net right from the beginning. In C++, exceptions aren't used nearly as often due to the many years that C++ existed without stable exception implementations, not to mention programmers who come from C, and those (like me) who just dislike exceptions entirely.
It all comes down to the code you're calling. If it uses return values to signal errors, check return values. Exactly how you tell your user that an error happened is a different discussion entirely (it would be worth starting a new post so more people see it; this one's already well-buried).

I see.
I'm just used to C# and was wondering because it's directly hard to get an exception not explicitly thrown C++.
On the other hand this is convenient because I can just check return values and rarely have to worry about an exception happening and code not being executed.
Since exceptions are so rare I guess catch(...) will suffice for my needs.
Thanks again.

Recently I've been experiencing something very irritating. I'm using Visual C++ 2008 EE, on Vista Premium, and sometimes when I hit the build button the IDE just hangs. I have to shut it down with the task manager, and when I do that a little balloon pops up in the corner saying that the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) has shut down VS because it was trying to execute malicious code. What makes this problem even more bizarre is that if I open up the IDE again and build the project (without any modifications whatsoever) it works just fine. But then the problem will come back when I least expect it.
I've tried to disable the DEP for Visual Studio but when I try to a dialog box pops up saying that I'm not allowed to disable it, even though I am the administrator of this computer. I've read that you can stop the DEP altogether in boot.ini, but I can't find it. And, would I really want to do that?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Martin

Do you have any IDE plugins? If so, disable them and see if that helps.

Do you want to change some icons of Visual studio or of your program and for second sextion you can use of SetWindowText?

hi,
I allocate a memory on heap and copy some code to that heap from my program. Now, I want to execute that code from heap but I am unable to understand how I can jump or change instruction pointer to point to that(heap) location and start execution. I am using C to do this.
Thanks,
|

Use assembly, push the address of your code on the stack, then execute a ret instruction. Be sure to mark the memory as executable or the CPU may raise an exception (depending on the OS type, CPU type, and DEP settings).

Hello,
I have a child window in my application but when I maximize the window the child window doesn't get merged with the main window.
Pritha
|
|
|
|
|
You mean the child window is not getting resized?
|
|
|
|
|
Hello,
The child window is getting resized but when I press the maximize button of the child window , the whole of child window is seen without the main window having the restore button.The child window is now seen as the main window without the restore button.
Prithaa

|
|
|
|
Could please show me the code part of child creation and maximize handling?
|
|
|
|
|
hello,
The TableFrame's CreateFrame() is creating the Child Window and when the maximize is pressed the OnSize() is called.
TableFrame::CreateFrame()
{
if(!CMDIChildWnd::Create(NULL, FrameName , WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD |
WS_BORDER |WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_MINIMIZEBOX |
WS_THICKFRAME | WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW
|WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL ,
WindowSize(), pFrame, NULL))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create view window\n");
return false;
}
}
void TableFrame::OnSize(int nType)
{
switch(nType)
{
case SIZE_MAXIMIZED :
{
CRect ParentRect;
MDIMaximize();
break;
}
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
Is TableFrame derived from CMDIChildWnd?
|
|
|
|
|
hello,
thanks for your replies.
yes TableFrame is derived from CMDIChildWnd
Prithaa
|
|
|
|
|
Why are you calling MDIMaximize() from OnSize?
I just tried it in a sample application. But could not find any problem... If you can please mail me the source. It is ns.nest@gmail.com
|
|
|
|
|
Hello,
I am using MDIMaximize() to maximize the child window. I ll try to post the code.
Thanks,
Prithaa
|
|
|
|
|
I shall check the code... may be a little bit later... 
|
|
|
|
|
Problem can be solved by calling CMDIChildWnd::OnSize in TableFrame::OnSize.
|
|
|
|
|
Hello,
Thanks ,
Now I am getting the minimize,restore,close buttons for the child window and minimize,maximize,close buttons for the main window but it looks like the minimize,restore,close buttons for the child window does not have a handler function
but the main window's button handler is the TableFrame's OnSize().
Pritha
|
|
|
|
|
Ya... I found that but didn't get enough time to resolve that...

Hi,
I'm hacking at this now for several hours, it will not compile.
I've the following declaration
<br />
class CCmdLineParserApp;
typedef BOOL (CCmdLineParserApp::*PFN_CMDLINE_ACTION)(LPCSTR pAction=NULL);<br />
<br />
typedef struct {<br />
char Switch[16];<br />
PFN_CMDLINE_ACTION pCmdAction;<br />
BOOL bIsTerminal;<br />
}CMD_LINE_ENTRY,*LP_CMD_LINE_ENTRY;<br />
Later on in the code I've found a LP_CMD_LINE_ENTRY pE. I try to execute
the Relevant pCmdAction function as follows:-
<br />
(pE ->*pCmdAction)(ResultString);<br />
I get:
C:\Projects\CmdLineParser\CmdLineParser.cpp(143) : error C2065: 'pCmdAction' : undeclared identifier
C:\Projects\CmdLineParser\CmdLineParser.cpp(143) : error C2297: '->*' : bad right operand
I do not use this syntax very often, and I'm obviously making a very silly syntactic mistake. Any ideas??
regards
Bram van Kampen
