Next time you're in Toronto, beers are on me.
Hey, glad to be helpful! Never been to Toronto, but came close a couple of years ago (tripped from Nova Scotia to Montreal, beautiful landscape).
The point you raised about forward declarations is interesting. As far a I know one can forward declare templates just like regular classes, and there's no VC++ bug about this feature that I know of. It'd be interesting to try to isolate this behavior in a tiny example (I'll might do it if I had some time spare), maybe you've hit a compiler bug.

Ok, here's something...
When I change it to a pointer member and change the CFLAWDoc constructor to "new" it, the compiler complains about 'CObjectCache<class CDataSlice>' : class has no constructors.
Now I've seen this before but only when the compiler has only seen a forward declaration and not the entire definition. Once again, I checked the preprocessor output and everything seems to be in place.

A shot in the dark ...
try putting typename in front of your CObjectCache variable declaration. If there is some confusion on the part of the compiler, maybe that will clear it up (or output a better error message).

Not sure what you mean really. I can't put it in front of the type in the allocation statement:
m_pCache = new typename CObjectCache<CDataslice>(2000);
because typename is only allowed inside a template. And it doesn't seem to do anything except provide an alias for a type inside the template.

Have you tried renaming the class ? I've had different problems in the past where I found my core problem was a class named after an MFC class, or a function named after one that MFC or ATL puts in there also, somewhere in the inheritance chain.

There is also the problem that if you name your H file after one of the system includes, it won't check for time changes. That one is a ***** to figure out.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Nope, I did a full search and there isn't anything that looks like my filename in the entire VS install. Nor is there anything in a full MSDN search with the same name.
I'm totally stumped.

Just tried it. Didn't help.  But thanks.
I've looked through the preprocessor output and it's sitting right there.
It's as if it knows that CObjectCache is defined, and that CContainedObject is defined, but somehow CObjectCache<CContainedObject> isn't.
Does that make any sense?

I need a routine to save an icon to disc as an .ico file, or failing that copy an icon to the clipboard. Anybody know of one?

Hey ! Anyone know how can i display a popup menu at top of mouse cursor(from bottom to top), anytime, even if the mouse isn't at the bottom of screen, and windows doesn't have to display the menu from bottom to top.
|
|
|
|
|
Do you mean you want the menu to be outside the screen?
I'm not sure of it if that is your question....

no... i didn't meant that...
i meant that if the mouse cursor is too close of the top of the screen to display the menu at bottom of the cursor, and normaly, by default, from down to top...
try to install trillian, and click the trilli button, and see where the menu is going from to where...
cheers

Must remember: the reason CString is so popular is MS made it easy for lazy programmers to use, and if you can't be a lazy programmer, then what's the point?

I have an active control which i need to insert during runtime . Assuming that the Active x class name is CActivex , how do i dynamically create windows and place them in an order for a MFC Dialog application ?
thanks
|

I think this should be works:
Insert the class and header of your activex to your project.Then you can define controler of it and use Create() function to create it at runtime.Is that clear?

I want to use the debugger to check if my arrays are filled correctly.
I have two arrays,
double xcoord1[80];
CPoint coord[80];
When I debug, I place my breakpoint right after I fill these arrays (still in the same function). Then I bring up the "Watch" debug window. But when I type xcoord1 under the name, i get the message: error in OMF type information.
And when I type coord, I get this under value: 0x0066f288
Why is all this happening?? And I know my array's have filled up properly, because if I put them to an oufile, I see that all the numbers I want are there. But why can't I view them with the debugger???

There's an article relating to some old versions of VC in MSDN that might help - I've never seen this problem myself:
"FIX: CXX0033 Error in OMF Type from Forward Class Declaration"
Seems to be a problem with the program database file when fwd decls used. What version of VC are you using?
|

I don't know about the error in OMF type information thing, but the second value is correct.
When you declare CPoint coord[80], coord actually becomes a (CPoint *) pointing to a block of 80 CPoint values. Therefore, when you view coord, it will display the address of the start of this memory block. There are two ways to look at the values in this array:
Add coord[0] or coord[53] to the Watch window to look at individual elements of this array, or copy 0x0066f288 to the Memory Debug window and look at the raw memory bytes (not so easy!).
Hope this helps.

You should be able to enter xcoord1,80 in the watch window to see all 80 elements of your array. Assuming you have managed to clear the OMF error problem.
I would recommend getting the book Debugging applications by John Robbins which gives lots of hints etc on how to get he most from your code and the IDE debugger.
