This is regarding a class called CArchive provided with MFC.
There are some overloaded operators "<<" and ">>" for inseration and
extraction in class CArchive.
One of them is:
friend CArchive& operator <<( CArchive& ar, const CObject* pOb );
The question is why the above operator is friend function???
The inseration and extration operators for the CObject class have been
defined as global friend functions whereas the same extraction and inseration
operators for basic data types such as int, float etc have been defined in
the CArchive class itself.
Why such a design? The CArchive class does not access any private or
protected memeber variables of the CObject class. Hence the query.
The source code is written as:
friend CArchive& operator<<(CArchive& ar, const CObject* pObj)
{
ar.WriteObject(pOb);
return ar;
}
and
CArchive::WriteObject()
{
/// .....lots of code but no private variable of CObject accessed
((CObject*)pOb)->Serialize(*this);
}
The is no accessing of private variables of CObject in any place.
Then why the << operator is a friend function??
I will be greatly obliged anyone could answer my query.

Hi.
I was wondering if there any any sources and information etc for people programming for industrial systems. By this, I mean accessing IO (Digital/Analog) and connecting to PLCs ...
I know there are many manufacturers sites but I have found nothing that really does justice to programming in industrial based environments (like Labview etc)

Hi. I have a backround thread function that I need to call many times to do calculations. I was wondering if it is OK for me to call AfxBEginThread time after time without knowing if the first call to it has finished? The calculations may take a while and I could need another thread to do another calculation using the sanme function. I made a test program and it does not seem to work.
If the above does not work, can someone suggest something that does work so that I could definitely have more than one thread going using the same thread function.
Thanks

If you have a calculation function which you want to start as a worker thread, you may start it as many times as you want to. But if they all access a common shared variable, you might get into trouble. Might have to try one of the thread sync mechanisms

(1) Construct the CToolBar
(2) Create a toolbar resource
(3) Call Create() [pass the resource id]
(4) You prolly want to create it on a dialog. If so resize the dialog accordingly

I try to create a toolbar in a dialog like this, but it not works.
BOOL CTempDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
...
...
m_toolbar.Create(this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_NOALIGN))
m_toolbar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1))
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}
Something wrong in my codes? In fact, I want to create a toolbar just in a CWnd, can I? "(4) You prolly want to create it on a dialog. If so resize the dialog accordingly", How to resize the dialog?
Thank u for your answer.

First, does everyone use the wizards to start off a project. They seem a little annoying and create alot of code that is hard to follow.
And second, is there a simple little hello world program out there that uses MFCs
Cheers

Personally, I like to put all of those afx headers in my stdafx.h file. But that's just me being me.
|
|
|
|

yeah,
But I put them like that so he finds it easier to understand.
In this case stdafx.h contains only one line

Start with a dialog based app, there is a lot less to follow. Make the OnPain function in the dialog look like this:
if (IsIconic())
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
SendMessage(WM_ICONERASEBKGND, (WPARAM) dc.GetSafeHdc(), 0);
int cxIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON);
int cyIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON);
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
int x = (rect.Width() - cxIcon + 1) / 2;
int y = (rect.Height() - cyIcon + 1) / 2;
dc.DrawIcon(x, y, m_hIcon);
}
else
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
dc.TextOut(10, 10, "Hello World");
CDialog::OnPaint();
}
I'm not sure if you need the call to the base class, so I left it in, although removing it appears to do no harm. There's your hello world, and the simplest MFC app you'll get outside of using MFC in a console app.

I don't know about everyone, but I always use wizards to begin my projects. They save a lot of time and get me going on the functionality right away. Like yourself, in the beginning I found it a bit hard to follow the generated code, but it was only a matter of time before I became familiar with it.
As far as a little Hello World program, again use the AppWizard to create a "Win32 Console Application". Then tell it you want to support MFC. Presto! See? I told wizards are great.
Regards,
Alvaro

first i'd like to ask if anyone here is a self taught vc6 programmer. as in no schools just books and stuff like that.
i'm finding that the prices for tuition at any school for a programming course is way out of my budget. i live canada so keep that in mind. next question:
gamedev says to start with a simple tetris like game to understand how a game is put together. i have a book that explains a breakout game and my logic tells me that programming a game like that would be easier then tetris. maybe i'm wrong. anyhoo could someone point me to some source files or code for a tetris like game so i could compare code and possibly understand.
i have to take the self taught book method.

You can teach yourself C++. In fact that's the only way I guess. Even if you have gone for some private course, you'd need to do a lot on your own in the way of self-teaching and books and MSDN and code-project before you can be a moderately competent C++ programmer

I had one basic C++ course in school but for the most part I've learned though books and experience.

Yes, I'm completely self taught and everyone at work, although they went to uni, got there knowing a lot from teaching themself. To survive in IT you need to *keep* learning your entire career, so if you can't teach yourself, you're kinda screwed.
I believe that there is a Tetris game here on CP. Yes, Pong is probably easier still, although not by much. Calculating the bounce of the ball convincingly is probably more painful than figuring if a Tetris block fits in a certain space.
A game is always a big thing to start with though, you need graphics, you need sound, you'll probably want to use DirectDraw, etc. You're better off IMO trying some non game stuff first. To give you an idea, I did a fair bit of non-game stuff to learn and when I did try a game, I was able to do a reasonable Asteroids. Had I started with that, I'd probably have given up in despair, but I kenw how a lot of other stuff fit together so I was able to concentrate on graphics and physics.
