- Yep, Christian pal, I use the static function in a class and not used as a global function.
- I still have a question. In your reply, you mentioned,
"For this reason, I suspect the most useful way to use static functions is for methods to initialise pointers of the class in question."
- Since I am a newbie, I do not understand your meaning.
- Can you give me an example to show the most useful way to use static functions as you mentioned?
- Have a nice day,
Maer

Probably no example better than the one I gave. In GDI+ the Bitmap class has a method called FromFile and it's static, which means I can start with a Bitmap *, which has not had new called on it yet, and then call the static method, which is a bit like a global function which returns a Bitmap * when given a filename, but being a static function it exists in the namespace of the class. So given that you'll only have one instance of the function AND the function does not require you to have created an instance of the class, a sensible use for them would be to call a function that creates an instance of the class and returns it. I'm sure there are other uses, I use a static function to do a reference count for example.

- Your reply clarifies my doubts. And I still have a stupid question.
- For example, I use a static function named F1 in class A. Can I use the function F1 in another class B without creating an object (or pointer) of class A in class B. ( Suppose class B has no derivation relationship with class A)
- Can you help?

In that case it becomes a question of the relationship between A and B. If the function is public or B is a friend of A then that would not be a problem.

- I can not find the "FromFile" function. (MSDN-->CBitMap-->class menbers-->)
- Can you help?

It's a GDI+ function in the Bitmap class, not a GDI function in the CBItmap class. If you don't have the SDK installed, you won't have access to it, but it's covered in the MSDN.

- What is the difference between the following two sentences?
- const static enum { s = 20 };
- const static s = 20;
- Can you show me an example?
- Regards,
Maer

The first one creates an unnamed enum type, and defines the constant s to have the value 20. I don't know if the const has any effect there since enum values are by definition constants.
The second is a syntax error. It's almost a variable declaration - it's just missing the type. If it were static const int s=20; then it declares a int variable called s, with value 20 that can't be changed (const) and is visible only in that .CPP file (static).

Mike,
The second case is technically not a syntax error since the compiler assumes the default "int" type for the variable. Still, it's bad form and should not be used.

couldn't it be the other way round:
constant is a variable the compiler knows the value at compile time.. makes much more sense for me...

- Take a look at the following program:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class a{
private:
static const int s ;
int i[s];
};
const int a:: s=20;
void main()
{ cout<

Are you talking about const variables?

- I am talking about ordinary variables.

- Where did this sentence come from?
- It probably means that since the variable is declared "const", the compiler will know its exact value while it's compiling the file(s) that use it. Thus it can reliably use the variable for such things as allocating memory for arrays.
- Example:
const int MAX_ITEMS = 20;
Item items[MAX_ITEMS];

Alvaro

Is this at all possible? I cannot use MFC or anything like that.

For a CPropertySheet, I can add a page in the constructor by typing AddPage. I can remove a page in the destructor by typing RemovePage. I read a comment from someone that said you can only call AddPage in the constructor. Is it possible to add and remove pages from a CPropertySheet dynamically? Is it possible/okay to add a button called Add Pages where they click on it and pages are added? Any thoughts?
Any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danielle (an overworked graduate student)

Uou can definitely call 'Addpage' and 'RemovePage' at anytime - we have done this in a number of PopertySheet based dialogs (both normal and wizard mode)

Yes, you can do that. Additionally, you may send the
PSM_RECALCPAGESIZES to the property sheet when you add/remove pages. You'll find more info about the message in MSDN.
