I have not done it in a while, but it is basically the same as reading ASII files. The difference being that you use the functions that have a 'w' as part of their name. The 'w' implies that it is expecting the 'wchar_t' type (16-bits: unsigned short) instead of the 'char' type (8-bits: signed char) when reading. If you are using a Microsoft library then you can use the '_ts...' macros which will use the 'wchar_t' functions if UNICODE is define; otherwise it will use the ASCII functions.

I hope that helps.

CAtlRegEx Unhandled Exception

Hey there,

I have a string which includes Turkish chars. And a regex pattern.. my mfc app is compiled with MBSC (I am pretty sure)

I got an error at the last letter says unhandled exception..

my string is (i am not sure if you can see it properly) "paylaş"
so last letter makes rgx throws an error.. I kinda deep search about the error I would like to write it if needed..

So what am I missing why it fails on turkish chars? I do not define any type of CharTraits I mean I create my variable in this way: CAtlRgx<> myregx; did not specify char type between "<" and ">"

thank you all..

CAtlRECharTraitsA contains the traits for ANSI characters, For multibyte characters, see CAtlRECharTraitsMB.

By the way Microsoft removed ATL server support from VS 2008 including
CATLRegExp class.

MFC Dialog application

Dear All,

Is there any way to create global objects to all the classes in the MFC dialog based application ? I want to use the object of one class from the other class, but I want to create the object only once.

The object created for each class should be a singleton object.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

And what is your trouble about?
You may use static members or (as you already are aware) the singleton design pattern.
BTW: the (in)famous theApp object is a (wizard created) sample of a global MFC object.

My exact problem is that, I am using four dialog in my MFC application. I want to open the a dialog from another dialog.

I am using OnCancel() for closing the current dialog and use DoModal() to open the other dialog. If I do like this for more no. of times then I got assertion and I found that this happens due to memory overflow due to the recursive call of DoModal().

I want to create global (single) objects for all classes and using those objects I need to hide the window and show the window instead of using OnCancel and DoModal.

But I am not so experienced in defining global objects and static objects. Please help me with some samples.

P.S : I dont want to use Property sheet or Tabbed dialogs or MDI.

Thanks in advance

This may be easily done using modal dialog boxes (i. e. DoModal()), all that you need is the proper communication of each dialog with the common parent window (see this nice toxcct's article about [^]).

Yes, that is a way to create a global object. However the Singleton pattern is well known to be overused/abused. Prefer other patterns such as MVC and Factory creational patterns.

If you're doing a small MFC app, try adding the number keys as accelerators in the resource.

Then handle them as if the are menu presses.

If you have the numbers on the screen as buttons, you could probably use the same code.

Look up OnKeyDown (and OnKeyUp) I think thats the name given to the method in MFC. The actual message is something like WM_KEYDOWN, so look for both.

Any design pattern to manage HTTP request?

kuibing6-Jan-09 2:21

Hi guys,

I'm working at a WebServer project that it receives a lot of HTTP requests,Yet these requests are not belong to a family.

Each HTTP request requires deal with a lot of string, e.g."GET /HELLO%20WORLD/ HTTP 1.1", HELLO%20WORLD/ is some info I really need.But then each request might have a lot of different data which has different formats.

So I wanna know is there some good design patterns or architectures to manage these requests?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Many of the internet releated specifications are managed by the W3C organization[^]. You should probably begin by becoming familiar with the HTTP/1.1 standards[^]. Your probably not going to find a library specifically designed for web server string parsing.

Problem using struct as std::map value type

Manfr3d6-Jan-09 1:57

Hello guys,

I wanna make a map that contains an integer key and a struct as value type.

struct SRect
{
int iX, iY, iW, iH;
};
map<unsigned int=""> RectMap;

This piece of code compiles fine. However, if I want to insert a pair into the map a runtime error occurs.

void MakeParamRect(int iID, int iX, int iY, int iW, int iH)
{
RectMap[iID]->iX = iX;
RectMap[iID]->iY = iY;
RectMap[iID]->iW = iW;
RectMap[iID]->iH = iH;
}

I've also tried it using the insert() function.

RectMap.insert(make_pair(iID, {iX, iY, iW, iH}));

In this case the struct notation with the curly brackets seems to produce the error (compiler says that a semicolon is missing before the first {).

How can I make this code work, or is a struct not a valid value type for a map (it is valid in my opinion)?

Thanks for your help.

i am not sure you can put a struct into a map.
if i were you i would change the struct into a class with a copy constructor

You can't use aggregate syntax (that's the curly bracket stuff) anywhere except a struct/array variable initialiser. However, you certainly can put a struct in a map.

Try the code below - it declares and initialises an SRect variable which it then inserts into the map:

SRect sRect = {iX, iY, iW, iH};
RectMap.insert(make_pair(iID, sRect));

What is your map definition?
is it

map<int, SRect *> RectMap;

map<int, SRect> RectMap;

In the first case, you'll have to insert the structure variable into the map as below :

RectMap[0] = new SRect();

SRect s;
	RectMap[0] = &s;

i.e. before accessing the variable from map, make sure you've inserted it.

And as you're saying RectMap.insert(make_pair(iID, {iX, iY, iW, iH})); gives compiler error, I'm pretty much sure that your map declaration is as :

std::map<int, SRect *> RectMap;

Better this will help you more...
