If you're using C++ leave all your C baggage behind. While the solution outlined would be great for C why not wrap all the messing about with dimensions to a class? You can bung the dimensions in the class along with your data and not have to fiddle about with pointers so much and all the errors that that produces (for example not having enough data for the number of dimensions).

hello guys...how can I learn that whether a particular feature is good to implememnt or not? Lets suppose that I use templates in my C++ prog, now how can I know that this is good to implement it or not??

Only experience will help you. Good news that it need not be your experience, it could just as well be someone else's. Read a book on design patterns or design practices. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software[^] is one place to start. I would say googling would be a good option, but admittedly might be hard if you don't know what key words to search for. If you're in doubt, you could drop a specific or general design question on a forum close to you.
The best shortcut to experience is to get a mentor.

Do they benefit, or add to the functionality of, the project? Can you complete the project without them?

There was hardly any project/assignment in which I used templates. I just asked it.

Experience and failure more than success itself will tell you that using a language feature will be beneficial to your project.
why not success ? because at some point you will use one feature on the based of false previous success in a situation where it will fail miserably and you will need to re-evaluate your notions about that feature.
Anyway, good luck with it, it's always fun (when possible) to learn new features.
Watched code never compiles.

Read, lots. Try out different things. Make sure you've got a shelf load of C++ morality guides to back you up ("Effective C++" and "Exceptional C++" are good places to start).
As you try things out you'll find out if it's a good idea as your projects get bigger. For example extensive use of templates can slow the compiler down to a crawl. It's not a problem with 10 source files but with a couple of hundred it can be time for a tea break when you change one. Remember that language features in isolation rarely make that much of a difference to coding style (except perhaps for virtual functions, templates and exceptions) but when used together they can help and hinder a lot more.

Hi all,
i m using this to get edit box data line by line but here CEdit::GetLine return blank value when LineLength is 1.
CString strText, strLine;
for (i=0; i < nLineCount; i++)
{
int len = m_myEdit.LineLength(m_myEdit.LineIndex(i));
m_myEdit.GetLine(i, strText.GetBuffer(len), len);
strText.ReleaseBuffer(len);
strLine.Format(_T("line %d: '%s'\n"), i, strText);
}
please help me for this.
thank in advance.

You should make use of the return value from the function (see here[^]), and inspect the contents of your buffer if it only returns one byte.

Try:

hi all,
i want to create thread pool in my application.
please help me how can i do this.
please me any suggestion and example for it.
thanks in advance.

See Thread Pool API[^]. I used QueueUserWorkItem()[^] to add work items. That's because I was working on Windows XP. But I assume that there are better things to do (see the "current api" column on the first link page) if you are using Vista or above.

Hi all,
I am making a sdi application in which i am making various tasks. All tasks are performing a single operation. Now my problem is i want that all the task should start at the same time. One more thing i have to Repetitively
perform that operation from my task.
Now i am not getting what method to use. Either i should use thread pooling or some other technique.

How can such a thing be done? Even if we have a quad core processor, and each execute one thread at a time independent of each other, then your most optimistic chances are to start 4 such tasks at the same time.
May be you should explain your requirements a bit more clearly.

Does anyone know how (from C/C++) check if an EXE file is code signed / digitally signed? And how to get the company name that has signed the file?
I need to create a function (in C/C++) that starts an EXE file with a known filename, but for security reasons I must first check that this is the original file (check that nobody has replaced the file with another one with same filename).
I know how to get version information from an EXE file, but reading code signing info will make the function much safer.

|

Can't you instead generate an MD5 hash code from the exe and check that against a valid value to see if the exe was replaced or not?
Anyways, a little googling brought me to this[^], i guess you can go on from there...

Thank you for your link. I think this will solve my problem. I will take a closer look.

I have "abcdefghigklmnop" and I want to insert "123456789" after 'd' for example. How can I do it?

Create a new array and copy the three pieces into it in the required order. A few simple strXXX functions should do the job.

I know this, but which functions is the question

if (laziness > selfEsteem) failAtEverything();

Take a look here[^] to get you started; you should get used to using MSDN if you wish to develop your skills in Windows programming.
