There's nothing wrong with your approach. See here for an example.

Thanks David! - just what i was looking for
One question...
Do you know if this could be done with an activeX control? (MFC based)
I'm going to try it but wondered if you might know.

It'll work for any file. Bytes in a file don't mean anything until the application that understands them gets involved. All you are doing is taking a bunch of bytes and adding them as a resource to some other file. Whether you added winword.exe or mypict.jpg to your .exe file, bytes are bytes.

I think you may have misundertood me a little. i meant adding an application (bytes) to the activeX control. I guess it's the same but i just wondered as a certain structure is assumed to qualify to be a COM object etc.
Thanks

Apparently I misunderstood you a bunch. I do not know how to add to an ActiveX at runtime.

Do you fancy having a look at the above Message of mine on the download Progress for an activeX control.
Thanks in advance!

I don't quite understand your request. I don't see mention of any progress control in any of your posts in this thread. Did I miss it?

Dear friends,
I got an edit box, the user enters the string in the edit box that my application collects in the associated CString variable m_edit_customerAddress.
But the problem is that users are entering characters like "space bars", "tabs" "new line" , in the beginning of the string and at the end of the string. What i want to remove thiese characters from m_edit_customerAddress. How can i do so ?

Is this a multi-line edit control? In any case, after the variable is populated with the control's contents, simply call iswhite() for each character.

You can use the CString member function ::TrimLeft() and ::TrimRight() to remove any unwanted characters at either end of your string.
If your string has a mixture of these characters, then its a bit more difficult to infer where your 'valid' input string starts and ends.

Ok..So I'm making a program for the "Connect Four" game. You know the one that you try to get 4 colors in a row by dropping a chip in between 2 players.
Well My problem is my function called displayBoard this method places 2 different kinds of markers on the board (one for each player) and displays some kind of marker for empty slots. Be sure your choices are easy to see.(i.e. X's for player 1, O's for players 2)
Well having the data members being...
//data members
int board[12][13];
int numChips[7];
how would I write the function...displayBoard?
All I have so far is this in my .cpp file
void ConnectFour::displayBoard()
{
for(int i=0; i < 12; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<13; j++)
{
cout << board[i][j] <<" ";
}
cout << endl;
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
The displayBoard() method is fine. What you need to do is populate the board variable with Xs and Os.
You need a method that asks the user which of the seven slots they want to insert a piece into. If that slot is not full, add a piece to it (this is the real meat of your program). Otherwise, tell them the slot is full and ask again.
"When I was born I was so surprised that I didn't talk for a year and a half." - Gracie Allen

|
|
ok...but all i have is
cout << "What column do you want to drop a chip in?;
cin >> //do i use an arrary for cin?
for(int j=0; j<13; j++)
{
cout << board[j] << "X";
}

Based on this this picture, you should have a 6-row by 7-column board. That said, you could have something like:
int nColumn;
cout << "What column do you want to drop a chip in (1-7)? ";
cin >> nColumn;
for (int nRow = 0; nRow < 6; nRow++)
{
if (' ' == board[][])
{
board[][] = 'X';
break;
}
}I'll leave the two [][] for you to conquer.

hi!
i've just finished writing a linked list template class, which compiles fine, but when i try to use it in another file (main.cpp) in my console test app' i get LNK2019 errors for every method of the class being used. i've copied the class & output below, so if anyone has any ideas i would REALLY appreciate some help because i'm completely stuck!! thanks!!

You might want to use <pre> tags in the future so that code is readable. Does main.cpp include the file linkedlist.h?
"When I was born I was so surprised that I didn't talk for a year and a half." - Gracie Allen
|
|

|

here's a bit of main.cpp:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "linkedlist.h"
void listfunc()
{
ListElement<string>* pStrElmt = NULL;
LinkedList<string>* pStrList = new LinkedList<string>;
string sData1("NUMERO UNO!");
string sData2("NUMERO DOS!");
string sData3("NUMERO TRES!");
string sData4("NUMERO QUATRO!");
string sData5("NUMERO CINQO!");
// element 1
pStrElmt = new ListElement<string>;
pStrElmt->SetData(&sData1);
pStrList->InsertNext(NULL, pStrElmt->GetData());
// element 2
pStrElmt = new ListElement<string>;
pStrElmt->SetData(&sData2);
pStrList->InsertNext(pStrList->GetTail(), pStrElmt->GetData());
// etc...
as you can see i've #include'd where needed, & it's compiled fine, but the linker doesn't like it.

Seems like you didnt add the file to your project via Project->Add to project->File

i'm pretty sure i did.
i'm using vs.net 2003, & added all files to the project by doing:
'project->add new item' (or it's equivalent)
there's a beginners template tutorial (part 1) on this site submitted by a chap called stefan spenz which i copied into my project in the usual way i.e. class definition into header & class implementation into source file (.cpp), then i tried to build the project with the class being used in main.cpp (with #include "stack.h" for new class where needed) and i had the same problem.
i'm obviously missing something about templates!?

There is your problem. You should include the template implementation in the header file. Read this[^] faq about C++ templates and you should do fine...
Multiply it by infinity and take it beyond eternity and you'll still have no idea about what I'm talking about.

Example:
#include <tuple.hpp>
What does the hpp mean? Is it just for the human eye? Is it any different to the compiler than a .h file?
thanks

It's the name of a header file for a corresponding .cpp file. With C, you have .c and .h files. With C++, you have .cpp and .hpp files. In the past 15 years, I've never used a .hpp file.

It's just for the human eye, the compiler doesn't care.
