I'm new to C++ and still learning a ton, and I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to solve a problem (my Google-fu has failed me). I have a Windows form that displays on the the screen, and everything works just fine. My problem is that I want it to fade in when it's opened, and fade out when it's closed.
I can't seem to find any good C++ examples (that I can understand). Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks!

Uses a timer and increase the opacity until the form is fully opaque.

I don't understand your reply. I already tried something like this:
private: System::Void MyForm_Load(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e){
for(double i = 0; i < 1.05; i += 0.05){
this->Opacity = i;
this->Refresh();
}
}
But that didn't do anything. Can someone give me a little more info? Thanks.

There are at least two problems with your code:
1. there is no delay in your loop, it will sprint from 0 to 1 as fast as it can, all will be over in a fraction of a second.
2. the Form isn't visible while the Load handler is executing; it is only when Load is done that the Form becomes visible, so this is the wrong place for such loop.
The recommended solution to both these issues is as follows:
- give your Form an initial opacity of zero;
- in your Load handler, start a Windows.Forms.Timer with an interval of say 100 msec;
- in the timer's Tick handler, check the Form's opacity; if it is less than 1.0, add 0.05 to it; otherwise, stop the timer.
The reason you choose a Windows.Forms.Timer is that its events get handled by the main thread, and that is the only thread that is allowed to touch Controls and Forms. Other timers would tick on some threadpool thread, resulting in either some InvalidCrossThread exception, or the need for more code, based on Control.Invoke
Also notice there is no explicit loop anywhere; the timer will keep firing until you tell it to stop (when opacity reached 1.0).

I am reading a courrpted file, and I know that It will throw any exception,
and hence I want to catch it and make the app smoth.
<pre>WORD mydata;
try
{
ar >> mydata;
}
catch(CInvalidArgException* e)
{
}
catch(CArchiveException* e)
{
}
And the application throws below exception
First-chance exception at 0x7c812afb in xxxxxxxxxxx Microsoft C++ exception:
CArchiveException at memory location 0x0497e360.
kinldy help....

either I didn't understand or your question does not make sense.
What do you mean by corrupted file?
is it corrupted because of file format? or something else
|
|
|
|
|
Issue is control is not comming in to the
catch(CArchiveException* e) block while debuging.. but still CArchiveException is thrown.
soe if CArchiveException is thrown.. then the control should come to catch(CArchiveException* e) right ? That is not happninig 
|
|

You are catching the exceptions but ignoring them, so you will not see anything in your code. Add some code in the catch block to process the exception.

You have no code in your catch block so there is nowhere for it to go. Add some code and try again, at least you will be able to inspect the contents of the exception object.

In the actual code I had few lines extrating the exception message and logging it.
but in the code I posted it was not there.... but controls never enters the catch block, even though the code was there and exception it throws was same ie (CArchiveException* e)
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have added actual code to the catch blocks, try running outside your IDE. Some, like Visual Studio, sometimes intercept exceptions before your catch block becomes active, although you typically can influence that through some IDE settings.
|
|
|
|
|
You're catching a pointer to CArchiveException, shouldn't you catch a reference to it?
ex. catch(CArchiveException & e) or maybe catch(CArchiveException const & e)

Hi!
I'm stuck with the calling that DLL.
Can someone help me how to read the values of the DLL? OCIOpen of the opening returns sucess, but that reading doesn't work.
I guess... The problem is unmanaged/managed, but I don't how to solve it.

I am using VS 2010 Professional.
I am getting the error:
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'
From:
Unmanaged *pu;
I assume there is something very simple that I am overlooking. This problem can be easily re-created. I re-created it by creating a Visual C++ CLR Class Librsry project. Then I used the Class Wizard to create an unmanaged class called Unmanaged. Then in the managed Class1 class I added the line shown above. Then I built that without any other changes and got the error. I do not understand why.

There is obviously something missing in your code such that the term Unmanaged is not being correctly interpreted by the compiler. Perhaps if you post your class definition also, someone can figure out what's wrong.

I am an idiot. I forgot to #include "Unmanaged.h". I definitely know better but for some reason I did not use my brain.

I have a simple function to check Totals on any table in my system (and similar ones for deleting and existence)
The parsed SQL is along these
Select Count(*) from AnyTable
Where ColumnA = 1
and ColumnB = 2
Written in C++/CLI as a command String
Select Count * from {0}
Where {1} = {2}
And {3} = {4}
Alternatively
And ({3} = {4} Or {3} is null} - This is controlled by an CallArgument driven switch construct.
~The function executing this statement takes the TableName, Column 1, Value 1, Column 2,Value 2 and CallArgument as parameters.
And this all works very well until I find I need a third Key/Value pair so I have to add to the parameters and recompile, amend my dynamic SQL etc.
I am thinking of passing in a list based on a class the members of which will be Key, Value, and NullAction.
Extending the parameter list and switch every time an extra clause has to be checked is a primitve and ugly looking approach by comparison to passing in the list and using a 'for each' loop to add a clause for what ever number of parameters are present.
This new approach has the added benefit of being low maintenance, in as far as possible, future proof.
But is it just style over substance?
Will there be a performance price to pay for passing in a list of key/values over specifiying each pair explicitly in the parameter list, subistuting in nullptr for the ones not required on any given call?
Note NullAction would controll whether or not a column needs to consider Null / not Null in an and / or capacity similar to the example above.

You shouldn't be building an SQL command string, instead use the SqlCommand class.
It has a Parameters property to which you can add whatever you consider relevant; in fact it does behave like a collection of key-value pairs. It also frees you from all the stringifying hassles, including DateTime format issues.
