Re: take alook fickdb11-Nov-04 4:42 fickdb 11-Nov-04 4:42  i allrdy know that. and thats not what i want to do. ex: void myFuncNameString (void) { foobar(); } void main (void) { char* var = "myFuncNameString"; // Here I want to call myFuncNameString only knowing the string.... Re: pointer to function from its name jan larsen10-Nov-04 23:47 jan larsen 10-Nov-04 23:47  The only way I know of, is to get the pointer to a function exported in a dll. The C/C++ compiler takes the name of your function and translates it to an adress, no meta information is preserved when the application is compiled. That's why we got file specifications like dll and elf, they describe a format that allows for exporting function tables. If it's a feature you really need, then you could use a Hashtable to store pointers to your functions mapped by their name.

" - Christian Graus Re: pointer to function from its name fickdb11-Nov-04 4:46 fickdb 11-Nov-04 4:46  hmmm... u mean using some code like this: typedef DWORD (*FCT_PTR)( bool pText); struct MyStruct { char * name; FCT_PTR funct; }; const MyStruct funcHashT[] = { { "foo", foo }, { "bar", bar }, } void foo (bool pText) { //blehbleh } void bar (bool pText) { //blehbleh } ... I think its ok for pure c functions, but my prob is that i need to make a new object only knowing his name (or his constructor name). same problem as above except that foo and bar are classes...

But, do u think can do the following using the post i paste before: new funcHashT[i].funct (true); ????

The word you're looking for, I suppose, is Reflection. This is not possible in C++ for the same reasons as I mentioned before. But you can of course work around the limitations, to do so requires a solid knowledge of the language and tools. If you know, and understand, COM, you will realize that the interface IDispatch is invented for just that reason. Again, if you really need the feature, you could either use COM and IDispatch, or you could copy the technique. What it all comes down to though, is that you're probably better of using C# for your project.

Seems to work ;) fickdb12-Nov-04 0:49 fickdb 12-Nov-04 0:49  I find a workaround: typedef void (*FCT_PTR)( bool pText); struct MyStruct { char * name; FCT_PTR funct; }; void wrapper_foo (bool pText) { new foo(pText); } const MyStruct funcHashT[] = { { "foo", wrapper_foo } } class foo { public: foo(bool pBool) { // Code } } I tested this code in a very simple c++ project and it works fine.

Can any body please tell me how to do that or give me the URLs? thanks in advance.. Re: How to do Insert ,delete actions in SQL Database using C++? Steve S11-Nov-04 0:44 Steve S 11-Nov-04 0:44  Try reading about CRecordset, if you want to use MFC, along with CDatabase. Alternatively, you can use ATL helper classes and use OLEDB, in which case CDataSource, CSession and CCommand/CAccessor stuff is what you want.

Re: activex bryce10-Nov-04 14:59 bryce 10-Nov-04 14:59  ahh can you rephrase this question? You're saying you have an activex control which is embedded in IE and that the control needs access to Oracle the user doesnt want the activex control to talk to oracle and you want to know how to tell the active x control not to use oracle? is this correct?

I have a c/s program which acess oracle .now it was demanded to insert on webe page.I decided to make a ACTIVEX control.i wish client don't need to setup oracle's client,it can download the activex and use it .but don't konw it can be realized or not. Visual C++ test act_x10-Nov-04 12:57 act_x 10-Nov-04 12:57  Hi , I was planning to take the brainbench visual C++ test . Has anyone here taken it ? any suggestions or areas that they focus on . And which book do they recommend for practice ? Thanks Re: Visual C++ test Christian Graus10-Nov-04 13:17 Christian Graus 10-Nov-04 13:17  Seriously, who cares ? What good will it do you ?

Apart from that is there a good book that can help me prepare for this ? Ive worked with MFC for past 3 yrs but cannot say that my knowledge about MFC is complete . ive worked on a small subset of components that MFC provides . Thanks Re: Visual C++ test Christian Graus10-Nov-04 13:25 Christian Graus 10-Nov-04 13:25  The company requires you to take the test there, or show them your result ? Do the test, and have google in another window to look things up.

Re: Visual C++ test Christian Graus10-Nov-04 13:36 Christian Graus 10-Nov-04 13:36  Yeah, I'd absolutely recommend reading up on anything that comes up which you can't answer yourself.
