CString has an operator that returns a LPCTSTR so calling GetBuffer is not necessary.

Hello,
I am testing Rob Grove's SQLite wrapper called CppSQLite posted here at CodeProject, but I am running it in a Dialog based application. (CppSQLite is a great wrapper for SQLite, by the way).
I have some code that is adding lines to a ListBox instead of 'cout'ing it, but it is behaving strangely. At least I think it is! The following is a section of my code:
<snip>
try
{
int i, fld;
time_t tmStart, tmEnd;
CppSQLiteDB db;
SQLResultsStr.Format(_T("SQLite Version: %s"),db.SQLiteVersion());
m_List_Sqlite_Results.AddString(SQLResultsStr);
remove(gszFile);
db.open(gszFile);
SQLResultsStr = _T("Creating emp table...");
m_List_Sqlite_Results.AddString(SQLResultsStr);
db.execDML("create table emp(empno int, empname char(20));");
SQLResultsStr = _T("DML tests");
m_List_Sqlite_Results.AddString(SQLResultsStr);
<snip>
The problem is that no lines are added to the ListBox until the program completes execution. Then they all come flowing in at once!
The question is, why don't the m_List_Sqlite_Results.AddString(SQLResultsStr) statements add the string to the ListBox immediately after they are executed?
I hope this is clear!
Thanks,
Murrah Boswell

CListBox uses messages to add strings to the list. It may be that the paint messages are not being processed if your application is busy doing something like adding more entries within a tight loop.
You could force the update of the list control after each add with RedrawWindow(), that may have the desired effect.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
The statements are all executed sequentially. I.e., no loops.
Could it be that I turned off precompiled headers for one of my modules that is pure C++ code? This is the module that has all the SQLite database manipulation functions. I could not get the module to compile with precompiled headers, so I turned it off.
The RedrawWindow() command did work, but it does seem like additional overhead.
Thanks,
Murrah Boswell

No, If you have sections of code that rarely change then it is advisable to turn on precompiled headers. Basically they speed up compilation as the compiler does not need to compile all code each time you compile. (You do need to compile it all at least once however!) It is not necessary to have precompiled headers turned on.

Basically what you are doing here is ensuring that the list is redrawn before the code continues to execute. If you do not do this then paint messages are normally processed when the code comes to a natural break.
You may also be able to ease the problem by running the SQL code in another thread (leaving the main thread to process the paint messages) the choice is yours.

Hello,
Thanks again!
Since I am just testing the CppSQLite code too understand it better, I don't mind the overhead of the RedrawWindow() command now. However, under production code, I will take your advice and create a separate thread for the SQL code.
Another question. When you reply to my messages, I see parts of my message included. What setting at CodeProject do you have turned on to include the message you are replying too? I just get a blank textbox to reply in.
Thanks,
Murrah Boswell

If you look at the text you are replying to, just underneath it is a button "Quote Selected Text". If you highlight the text and press the button it quotes it in the text of the reply.
In this case I highlighted "When you reply to my messages" and pressed the button.

Hi all,
Does anybody know how image editors are made.I dont mean the image manipulation part ,but the canvas like thing we see in ms paint on which we draw ,erase .draw lines etc....I dont think it is a dilog.It would rather be a window , a paint window but how do we maintain it.say loading am image to a window is simple and i prefer the IPicture and IStream way of the win32 sdk.Once the image is loaded ,i even managed to draw on it ,like using moveto and line functions from the gdi.But the real trouble is how would i store the image temporarily.Say i have the image read from the file into the IStream and enclosed by IPicture .I render this from the IPicture to the window.Now i draw some lines over the image.Technically the dc is modified.Now how would i extract this modified dc into a buffer and latter on store it to a file.One suitable way is to Create a compatible dc and bitmap make a snapshot of this window,but it is not good,the image is not clear .How would i go around this situation.
Please help.

Put #include "stdafx.h" at the top of the .cpp file that causes the error.

hi,
yes ..it is already in the top of the .Cpp file.But the Problem is appearing yet.
------This is the header file :------------------
// rtcsample.h : main header file for the RTCSAMPLE application
//
#if _MSC_VER > 1000
#pragma once
#endif // _MSC_VER > 1000
#ifndef __AFXWIN_H__
#error include 'stdafx.h' before including this file for PCH
#endif
#include "resource.h" // main symbols
class CRtcsampleApp : public CWinApp
{
public:
CRtcsampleApp();
public:
virtual BOOL InitInstance();
};
This the .Cpp file-------------------------------------------
// rtcsample.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.
include "stdafx.h"
// WinMain
//
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
HRESULT hr;
UNREFERENCED_PAR
//extra code here
}
Can you tell me how to correct it?
OR
Is there a Problem in "stdafx.h" File?

Hello there,
I have been tracing a C++ code and I encountered a declaration statement like this:
const vector<int>& vars
Can anyone teach me what this is and how it is used?  I tried searching for references on this and I was not able to find any.
Thanks so much!

This is a reference to a constant template vector class that has been specialised with int as its template parameter, ie. it's a reference to a constant variable-length array of ints.

I see... could you give me an example on how to use this? or even a link to a reference will do. Sorry I really don't have an idea of this yet. I don't even know what a template in C++ is.
Thanks!

I don't know of any tutorials off the top of my head. I recommend you get a good C++ book that includes a section on templates, or google for a C++ template tutorial (or both  )
