You write it by coding according to the rules that apply for each platform.

Sockets aren't exactly implemented the same way across multiple platforms. To achieve a cross-platform program that uses sockets, you can either use compile time switches (#defines) to use the appropriate platform-specific calls and system libraries or use a third party library that already has this compile time switching internally.

A few cross-platform socket libraries:
0) http://zeromq.org/[^]
1) www.boost.org (asio library)[^]
2) Larger frameworks have this too (Qt[^], wxWidgets[^])

CAsyncSockets Blocking/Non blockung

Hi
I am somewhat new to TCP/IP, I have been doing some reading on blocking vs non blocking sockets. So my question is when creating a CAsyncsocket object is constructed and created is there a option for what type of socket
Secondly when you get a notification from one of the callback on receive onsend etc
With an error say WSAEINPROGRESS
From the call backs I guess you should just return

Initialisation of a Structure, Can anyone see the Obvious?

Hi,

I have the following Code:

C++

</#include "stdafx.h"

struct DB_FIELD{
    const char* FieldName;
    const char* DesignerComments;
    const unsigned int FieldFlags;

    const int FieldType;
    const int FieldEltSize;
    const int FieldEltCount;
    const int FieldOffset;
    const unsigned char PaddingChar;
};

struct DB_FIELD TestFieldItem={
    "Key",  // FieldName
    NULL,   // DesignerComment
    0X00000000, // Field Flags
    13,     // Field Type
    8,  // Field Elt Size
    1,   //Field Elt Count
    0,   // Field Offset
    0    //Padding Char
};

This refuses to compile with the following error message:
"error C2552: 'TestFieldItem' : non-aggregates cannot be initialized with initializer list".

I must be doing something stupid, that I cannot see. Initialising Static Structures is the Cut and Trust of CPP!
Can anyone see the Obvious?

As a side note, why declare each member as const?

You could instead write ...

C++

const struct DB_FIELD TestFieldItem =
{
    "Key",  // FieldName
    NULL,   // DesignerComment
    0X00000000, // Field Flags
    13,     // Field Type
    8,  // Field Elt Size
    1,   //Field Elt Count
    0,   // Field Offset
    0    //Padding Char
};

Point taken, and since discovered.

There seems to be a C(PP) language ambiguity here, relating to aggregates. There is never a problem with:

const int Var=512;

Hi Guys!,

I have been working on Finite state machine based on a well documented tutorial in code project

Generic Finite State Machine (FSM)[^]

I tried compiling the sample project available with this but can't proceed because of few errors. The project is develped with VS 2010 but I'm using 2012.

I'll give the code excerpt where the error points..

C++

struct StateHandlerBase
    {
        SharedData data;
        States state;
        Transitions *m_interfaces[static_cast<size_t>(Size)];
        StateHandlerBase()
            : data(SharedData()),
            state(static_cast<States>(InitState))/*, m_interfaces({0})*/
        {
        }

    };

    typedef int DummyExplicitSpecialization;
    template <States stateParam, class Dummy=DummyExplicitSpecialization>
    struct StateHandler
        : StateHandler<static_cast<States>(static_cast<size_t>(stateParam)-1)>
    {
        TransitionImplement<StateMachineComponents, static_cast<States>(stateParam)> m_interface;
        StateHandler() : m_interface(StateHandlerBase::state, StateHandlerBase::data)
        {
            StateHandlerBase::m_interfaces[static_cast<size_t>(stateParam)] = &m_interface;
        }
    };

    template <class DummyExplicitSpecialization>
    struct StateHandler<static_cast<States>(0), DummyExplicitSpecialization>
        : StateHandlerBase
    {
        TransitionImplement<StateMachineComponents, static_cast<States>(0)> m_interface;
        StateHandler() : m_interface(StateHandlerBase::state, StateHandlerBase::data)
        {
            StateHandlerBase::m_interfaces[0] = &m_interface;
        }
    };

    typedef StateHandler<static_cast<States>(TerminateState), DummyExplicitSpecialization> StateHanlderType;

 StateHanlderType StateHanlderInstance;

These are the errors:

error C2976: 'Fsm<statemachinecomponents>::StateHandler' : too few template arguments

error C3855: 'Fsm<statemachinecomponents>::StateHandler': template parameter 'stateParam' is incompatible with the declaration

I'm totally stuck!!. I have no idea what is happening
Greatly appreciate possible suggestions to get out of this

have you tried commenting out the typedefs and structs to see which one is "bugging" the compiler? That might help to narrow it down.

Depending on what you are considering a line, the fourth line from the last is:

MFC: flickering issue with GDI+

I create a sample dialog application which has a circle drawn. Also on mouse move the circle will be re-drawn. I am providing my code below. Its also compilable.

I tried using double buffering and erasebackground, i was not getting the flickering issue, but i observed that the drawining is not erased properly. So to erase, in OnPaint i wrote the erasing code. Again i am facing the flickering issue.

CPaintDC dc(this);
GetClientRect(&clientRect);

circle = clientRect;
circle.DeflateRect(100,100);
dc.SelectStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);
dc.SelectStockObject(NULL_PEN);
dc.FillSolidRect(circle, ::GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE));

Bitmap buffer(circle.right, circle.bottom);
Graphics graphicsbuf(&buffer);
Graphics graphics(dc.m_hDC);
graphicsbuf.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeHighQuality);

SolidBrush brush(Color(255,71,71,71));
Pen bluePen(Color(255, 0, 0, 255),1);

graphicsbuf.DrawEllipse(&bluePen,Rect(circle.left,circle.top,circle.Width(),circle.Height()));
graphicsbuf.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeHighQuality);
graphics.DrawImage(&buffer, 0, 0);

}

void CPOCDlg::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
m_point = point;
InvalidateRect(circle,FALSE);

CDialogEx::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);

}

BOOL CPOCDlg::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
return TRUE;
}
Please let me know if i am doing any mistake.

I would imagine that since OnMouseMove() is called A BUNCH, your drawing code is not able to keep up. Just a guess, though.

Drawing border to dialog using GDI+

11-Apr-15 19:30

I modified my dialog to a polygon region dialog. Then i am trying to frame/draw the border.Using device context the CRgn::FrameRgn, i am bale to draw the border around the dialog. But i want to achieve this using Gdi+. I did as below, but the border is appearing only on left and top of the dialog. Can someone please help on this.

CPoint vertex[4];
BOOL CPolygonDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialogEx::OnInitDialog();

    ModifyStyle(WS_CAPTION,0);
    ModifyStyle(WS_BORDER,0);

     CRect rect(400,200,900,700);
     CRect wr = rect;
    AdjustWindowRect( wr, 0, FALSE );
    MoveWindow(wr); 

    GetClientRect( rect );
    CRect csr = rect;
    ClientToScreen( csr );

    vertex[0] = CPoint(rect.left,rect.top);
    vertex[1] = CPoint(rect.right,rect.top);
    vertex[2] = CPoint(rect.right,rect.bottom);
    vertex[3] = CPoint(rect.left,rect.bottom);

     m_rgnShape.CreatePolygonRgn( vertex, 4, ALTERNATE );
    m_rgnShape.OffsetRgn( CPoint( csr.TopLeft() - wr.TopLeft() ) );
    SetWindowRgn( (HRGN)m_rgnShape.Detach(), TRUE );
    m_rgnShape.CreatePolygonRgn( vertex, 4, ALTERNATE );

    return TRUE;  // return TRUE  unless you set the focus to a control
}

void CPolygonDlg::OnPaint()
{
Graphics graphics(dc.m_hDC);
    CRect rect;
    GetClientRect(rect);
GraphicsPath gp;
    Point point[4];
    point[0] = Point(rect.left,rect.top);
    point[1] = Point(rect.right,rect.top);
    point[2] = Point(rect.right,rect.bottom);
    point[3] = Point(rect.left,rect.bottom);
    gp.AddPolygon(point,4);
    Pen pen(Color(255, 255, 0, 0));
    graphics.DrawPath(&pen, &gp);
}
