Check out this page -- shows a better way to get your random numbers. When you use modular arithmetic, you focus on the low-order bits that aren't as "random" as the high-order ones.

The page shows many examples of how to get a random number (int or floating point) in a given range.

No, but you can get a pseudo-random number with srand() and rand().

#define GetRandom(min, max) ((rand() % (int)(((max) + 1) - (min))) + (min)) //get a random number between min and max

Remember something like srand(GetTickCount()); first...

EnableMenuItem does not work

I have an application with a menu that I want to disable one command in it.

I write:

<br />
CMenu *pmenu;<br />
pmenu=CMaimFrame::GetMenu();<br />
pMenu->EnableMenuItem (ID_FILE_OPEN,MF_BYCOMMAND|MF_GRAYED);<br />

But the item will not go gray !!!

Include MF_DISABLED. See if that does it.

Not working.
I have a strange feeling that it's not pointing to my menu,
If I type

<br />
CMeny *pmenu=GetMenu();<br />
pmenu->DestroyMenu();<br />

Nothing happened .....

Since you're using an MFC app, you should probably be using command update handlers to deal with enabling/disabling menu items.

See Mike Dunn's C++ FAQ section 7.1[^] for more information.

Event like CEvent

Hi
I needed the functionality for the CEvent object in MFC . I am working in a non MFC environment and needed a similar synchronization object.
Basically I want to have a request , Wait and response type of mechanism .

I want to be able to use the WaitforSingleObject call to wait for a duration on a event object .

How do I go about it. Is there a non MFC event class or object available ?

You can use a HANDLE, in conjunction with the API Calls, ::CreateEvent(), ::ResetEvent(), ::SetEvent(). Close it with a call to ::CloseHandle().

you can always write your own, or do something like this -- which is pretty close to what I use:

<br />
class MyEvent <br />
{<br />
  HANDLE m_EventHandle;<br />
<br />
public:<br />
  MyEvent( BOOL ManualReset = TRUE, BOOL InitialState = FALSE, LPCSTR Name = NULL )<br />
  {<br />
    m_EventHandle = CreateEvent( NULL, ManualReset, InitialState, Name );<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  virtual ~MyEvent()<br />
  {<br />
    CloseHandle( m_EventHandle );<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  HANDLE GetHandle()<br />
  {<br />
    return m_EventHandle;<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  BOOL Wait( DWORD Time = INFINITE )<br />
  {<br />
    return WaitForSingleObject( GetHandle(), Time ) != WAIT_TIMEOUT;<br />
  }<br />
 <br />
  void Reset()<br />
  {<br />
    ResetEvent( GetHandle() )<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  void Set()<br />
  {<br />
    SetEvent( GetHandle() );<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  BOOL IsSet()<br />
  {<br />
    return (WaitForSingleObject( GetHandle(), 0 ) != WAIT_TIMEOUT );<br />
  }<br />
};<br />

How's that?

I think that the variable definition in the for statement will local to the for body.
(saw this in a post here not too long ago )

for ( int i = 0; i<100; i++ )
{
 // do something.
}

or are you talking about something different ?

Setting string variables

Please help beginning student. How do you set variables of type char or of type string such that they can be used in an If/Then Statement and While loop? I have tried declaring the variables as a string

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>

void newLine();
void main()
{string firstName, lastName, recordName;
}

and I get an error.

Thanks for your help. Smile | :)

Make sure you have included the right header.

I use character arrays, I've never used string types before.

To set a string you can use strcpy(), or can initialize it like
char szFirstName[30] = "SavageKen";

Re: Setting string variables

jhwurmbach3-Jun-03 8:13

3-Jun-03 8:13

After making sure you did
#include < string >
you need to make sure to access them with std::string,
or you can use
using std::string;
and from then on simply write string, or as a third (closly related) possibility you can add
using namespace std;
and omit writing any std:: at the expense of some rare problems with names used twice.

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

I'm currently making something similar to a telnet-type window and I'm using a multi-line edit box to display the information I need.

My question is this:

I need the edit box to scroll, to I'm using the ES_AUTOVSCROLL style. Only thing is, I need to set the number of visible lines based on the window size in order for the scrolling to work automatically. I have not been able to find any information on how to set the max number of lines in a multi-line edit box. Does anyone know how to do this?

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
