I just gave a few examples about how the values could be entered by the user. Yes what you is correct.

NO the underscore signs are not present in the string. I just entered them to show the alignment to the codeproject member's.

OK, one more question:
The "shorter" lines, are they left justified, or are they padded with blanks?
<code>
Like this (padded with blanks):
"31203"
" 401"
" 12"
" 2110"
" 4232"
Or like this (left justified):
"31203"
"401"
"12"
"2110"
"4232"
</code>
I'm working on a solution.

Hello again. I didn't receive an answer to my last question, but I made a solution that covers both cases.
You will have to adjust the code for Unicode if you want it.
And possibly adjust the code to ATL/STL if you want it.
Here goes:
The func:
<code>
void get(CString csIn, CString &csOut)
{
static CString csLast = "";
int lastLen = csLast.GetLength();
// Ignore and remove leading blanks in csIn.
while(csIn.GetAt(0) == ' ') csIn.Delete(0);
int inLen = csIn.GetLength();
if(inLen >= lastLen) {
// New, bigger value, save it.
csLast = csIn;
lastLen = csLast.GetLength();
}
int copyChars = lastLen - inLen;
if(copyChars > 0) {
csOut = csLast.Left(copyChars);
}
else csOut = "";
csOut += csIn;
csLast = csOut; // Save the last value for next time.
}
</code>
The main:
<code>
CString csRet;
get("31203", csRet); // csRet becomes "31203"
get(" 401", csRet); // csRet becomes "31401"
get(" 12", csRet); // csRet becomes "31412"
get(" 2110", csRet); // csRet becomes "32110"
get(" 4232", csRet); // csRet becomes "34232"
</code>

Thanks for your time and effort both in helping me to find out the solution. I will give it a try and let you know if there is still some problem that needs to be dealt with.
Thanks once again.

Your'e welcome, I'm glad if I can be of assistance to you.
And I can't resist a challenge...
Probably, there are things that must be fixed, this is a quick hack.
But I think the main idea works.
Good luck.

There is nothing wrong with TrimLeft (i hope).
I agree, it's a better choice. But I didn't have the time to tidy up the code. I'm at work, and wanted to help out...

Hi all,
I am currently involved in a migration project from one reporting tool to another. The tool I am migrating reports from displays a large number of items in a window similar to a list box with no option to cut and paste so I currently have to copy them by hand and type them back into the new reporting tool.
The reporting tool API does not have an object that will allow me to access the information so I was wondering if I could get Windows to output the items to a text file as it was displaying them on the screen.
I downloaded the WindowDump utility from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/08/EscapefromDLLHell/
in the hope that it would extract the information for me but unfortunately it indicated that the window I was looking at was not the ListBox class but a List class, which I'm assuming is a custom class with no associated Windows functions that will allow me to retrieve information from it.
I then attempted to use windows subclassing to intercept the messages from the List class but discovered that SetWindowLong could not be used on a window outside the application using it.
Can anyone tell me if what I want to do is possible and give me some direction on how to pursue my investigation from here?
Many thanks,
Lep

Nope, the WindowDump utility extracts information from the ListBox class. It didn't retrieve the information from this Window, but it provided the class (List), handle, process, styles etc.

Where is this class defined? How would WindowDump even know that an application was usng such a class, let alone have access to it?
Leprechaun78 wrote: ...the class (List), handle, process, styles etc.
I've not heard of a class having a handle and a style. These sound like window properties.

My terminology is probably incorrect, I don't have a lot of experience of programming in Windows (or anything else!), apologies for that. I thought a window was an instance of a class?
WindowDump uses GetClassName to extract the class name. This is an example of the output:
Class: List
Title:
ID: 0
hWnd: 0x00010d9a
Styles: WS_CHILD
Control Styles:
Dimension: (208,329) 95 x 125
State: Visible Enabled
If the class was a list box WindowDump would retrieve the contents using
SendMessage(hWnd, LB_GETTEXT, iPos, (LPARAM)szLine)
I'm wondering if there is a similar way to access the contents of a custom class?

It sounds as though you are confusing a Windows class (e.g., BUTTON, EDIT, LISTBOX, STATIC, COMBOBOX) with a C++ class.
Leprechaun78 wrote: I'm wondering if there is a similar way to access the contents of a custom class?
Yes, but the target control would need to respond to the message for you to get anything from it.

Ok, I'll investigate ways of checking the properties of a C++ class. My thinking is that the application is passing the information to the operating system for it to display, so I want the operating system to output that information somewhere other than the screen (i.e. a text file). Do you think this is possible?

Most things are, but that does not necessarily mean they are easy. While intercepting video output is likely doable, it would certainly not be trivial.

I saw the puzzling class defination in the reference--
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/efk30beh(VS.80).aspx[^]
My question comes from the below line
***********************
CPrimeTest() : m_pCalcNext( new CEvent( FALSE, FALSE ) ) , m_pCalcFinished( new CEvent( FALSE, FALSE ) ) , m_pTerminateThread( new CEvent( FALSE, FALSE ) ) , m_iCurrentPrime( 0 ). If so, why not put them in the body of the class defination.
*******************************
-- How to explain it.
-- Can we treat 'm_pCalcNext', 'm_pCalcFinished' 'm_pTerminateThread' and 'm_iCurrentPrime' as four member variables of public type of the class

Why public ? They are private pointers which are instancied in the constructor (at the line you don't understand). Each of this pointers is a pointer to a CEvent class, and a CEvent class require two parameters for its constructor (I didn't look in detail, but it seems by seing the line you posted).
In fact this part of the line: m_pCalcNext( new CEvent( FALSE, FALSE ) ) is more or less equal to m_pCalcNext = new CEvent(FALSE,FALSE); in the body of the constructor.
So what do you don't understand exactly ?

I'm not sure that I agree with your analysis.
m_pCalcNext( new CEvent(FALSE,FALSE))
is calling a constructor of whatever class m_pCalcNext is. The code posted is using the C++ Initialization List to call constructor of non-pointer member variables, and the same for the others.

m_pCalcNext is a pointer to a CEvent object.
So this line: m_pCalcNext( new CEvent(FALSE,FALSE))creates a new instance of the CEvent class, the same way as m_pCalcNext = new CEvent(FALSE,FALSE);
The difference is that here it is in the initialization list and not in the constructor body (that's why I said more or less).

I making a call to SetDIBitsToDevice() specifying a smaller width and height than the actual DIB section. The trouble is the image is always drawn bottom up. ie the bottom edge of the image is locked to the bottom of the specified rectangle. Could somebody please tell me how to draw the image correctly from the top down?
