Re: Menu IDs turn to number! VS6.0 & MFC

31-Jul-07 0:04

I'm using Visual studio 6.0 and MFC.

I add a menu resource to my application and define all required names.

Menu produces its IDs automatically (e.g. ID_HELP_ABOUT) I use class wizard to add a handler for the command message. Every things OK. But when I revisit my menu and decide to add another handler for another item, a few days later, I see all those IDs turned to numbers (e.g. 32792) I then have to find the ID and retype it to be able to use the class wizard to add a handler.

I know how to add a handler manually, but it's a pain in my ...;P

Is there any way to return all IDs back? (I hope it's not deleting .clw file, it's even more pain to reassign all those classes, etc.)

Actually in your "resources.h" you should have a relation of IDs and assigned int values. But it is the first time I hear about what you are saying. Maybe is there an option somewhere where you choose about seeing IDs in number or in name, but not sure about

At this point, what does the project's resource.h file look like?

Nothing especial, except some resources have similar IDs

Same here with VC.NET 2003:

The resources in the resource-editor and %PROJECT%.rc-file are the (correct) numbers, whereas the resource.h file has the (correct) ID-to-number table.

Annoying, but I could live with it. But as you mention it...

Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

If you use another "standard" IDs or Windows constants like windows styles (WS_MAXIMIZE) or attributes for some classes (PS_SOLID) and so on... are they ok? or have been transformed in their equivalent numbers too?

Sorry, I misunderstood what you mentioned.

Yes they are ok. I mean other resources like those I use for dialogs will be shown OK in "Resource view".

Everything OK, but menus.

I'm sorry, Englilsh is not my native language. I don't understand this sentence.

Anyway, the problem remained; IDs of my menus turn to numbers, and just menus have this behavior.

Thank you for your effort Smile | :)

bug? [modified]

I made a programm that compare two txt files. If they are different then a=1 otherwise a=0.
Here is the first txt file:

T18                          DB2         CCI00002                                <br />
C03CLI               NYNR48400000     01100000002                              00<br />
C03RES               NYNR48400000     00500000015                              00

Here is the seconde one:

T18                          DB2         CCI00009                                <br />
C03CLI               NYNR48400000     01100000002                              00<br />
C03RES               NYNR48400000     00500000015                              00

They are diferent only because of the bold underlined character.
But the value return is 0.
The programme used is:

int a=0;<br />
char c;<br />
char t;<br />
fstream file1;<br />
file1.open("file1.txt",ios::in);<br />
fstream file2<br />
file2.open("file2.txt",ios::in);<br />
while (i<114) {<br />
                      file1>>c;<br />
                      i=i+1;<br />
                      file2>>t;<br />
              if (c!=t) <br />
                        {a=1;}<br />
}

it´s i<114 because i don´t want to compare the whole text file.
Does anyone have an idea of the reason why the returned value is 0 even if the files are different?

have you tried debugging and going trhough step by step? Take a look on the contents of every char in every loop of the while. You will maybe have a surprise

Why use an int if you plainly want a bool ?

why increment i in the middle, which makes the code harder to read ?

have you tried stepping through the code to see what values are being read into c and t ?

because this is only a part of the main programm, there is another thing that can change the value of a into 2.

You are right i should put it at the beginning

I am about to do it, maybe i should have done that before posting a message.

Thank you for your advise!

Where is the variable i initialized???

It´s initialisated at the beginning of the programme, i only quote the pertinent part of the programme.

From your replies, I think you need to do a line by line comparison. If so you may have to skip white spaces and blank lines.

It seems that space character isn´t considered as a character: i initiate i at 55 because i wanted to skip the first line (i know that i could use a pointer but i don´t know how it works) and the programme started to read from the 3rd line.
space isn´t considered as a character? I´ve read that it was part of the ASCII table.
Thank you all for your help and advise!

Nelek31-Jul-07 0:44

You should maybe try it with the getline () function, it reads spaces too. And then compare every position in your char set with the other one.

Or even better, if you are using VC++ use CString and the operator ==, CString::Compare () or CString::CompareNoCase ()
