Re: [Dev-C++] How to prepare installation of my GTK DB ?

[Markku P. <mar...@ko...>]

Hi,

I've used  Inno Setup : http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
And  ISTool which helps create scripts for Inno Setup compiler : http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/
There is also  Inno Setup Form Designer (ISFD) : http://isfd.kaju74.de/

[Dev-C++] Accessing Project Data

[lordSauron <lor...@gm...>]

This is really more IDE specific to DevC++ 4.9.9.2 <http://4.9.9.2>, but I=

was wondering, how do I access the current project version information.

I know that the project can be told to keep the version information, but I=
=20
just don't get how to access this from within my programs, without having t=
o=20
go into project properties and look at the current version and then copy=20
them into the program myself. Does anyone know how to do this?

No I haven't added either of these headers--shouldn't I get a compile error?

I'll try adding them and see what happens.

Just a guess from an observer but, out of curiosity, since this is a =
WIN32 API call have you included the windows.h and maybe the winbase.h =
header files?

ex: #include <windows.h>

if you have, forgive my uninformed suggestion.

Re: [Dev-C++] Newbie Question: Writing Ouput to the Debug Window

You may use the Win32 API:
OutputDebugString(LPCTSTR lpsz);
to emit debug messages.

For just looking at the debug output, a really great program is DebugView
which you can retrieve from

[Dev-C++] Newbie Question: Writing Ouput to the Debug Window

[Chris S. <csh...@qu...>]

Hi,

I'm interested in moving my development work from Visual Studio to 
wxDev-C++.

In VS I've been using TRACE to output to the debug window and find this 
very useful. I've had a look through wxDev-C++'s online help but can't 
find any mention of how to do this.

Is there something equivalent to TRACE in wxDev-C++?

In my file handling, I'm ending up with something like this when I attempt

void OpenText(HWND main)

  char inLine[256];
  inLine[0] = '\0';

  char buffer[5000];
  buffer[0] = '\0';

  LPOPENFILENAME openFileInfo = new OPENFILENAME;

  getOFNproperties(main, openFileInfo, lpstrFile);

  if( !GetOpenFileName(openFileInfo) )
  {
    MessageBox(main,"Could Not Open","ERROR",MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
    return;
  }

  ifstream openTextFile(openFileInfo->lpstrFile);

Templates do not work for "C"

[Dev-C++] RE: Templates

[Ira K. <ikr...@ya...>]

Templates are a neat feature of Dev-C++.  They are
what the name implies - a blueprint for future
projects.  All the template definition files
(.template extension) as well as the files in the
template, such as .cpp, .cpp, .h, .rc files, etc., are
stored in the \Templates directory based on the
directory where you installed Dev-C++ (by default,
C:\dev-Cpp).

To create a template, do the following:
1)  Create a project.
2)  Add the files that will be in the template to the
project.
3)  Select File-New Template...  from the Dev-C++
menu.
You'll be presented with a tabbed window, where you
can define the name, description, category, icon,
files to include, compiler and linker settings, and so
on.

Once you've saved the template, you can create a
project based on the template by selecting
File-New-Project...   Templates are a great feature
because you can define standard project settings.  In
a team environment, this can be a lifesaver.

Re: [Dev-C++] saving text from EDIT control

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Hrm. Check once more how you use lpstrFile and nMaxFile.

You want your file name in a writeable buffer.

saveFileInfo.lpstrFile = "Untitled.txt"
assumes lpstrFile to be a pointer.

saveFileInfo.nMaxFile = sizeof(saveFileInfo.lpstrFile)
assumes lpstrFile to be a character buffer - a pointer always have a fixed
size and doesn't say anything about number of characters possible to store
in the buffer.

[Dev-C++] saving text from EDIT control

[Noorez K. <lor...@ho...>]

Sry, resend.

For my program, I need a part that is like a simple text editor, but I can't 
get the 'save' function to work. This error is received while debugging : 
'An Access Violation (Segmentation Fault) raised in your program'  at the 
marked line. I attached the entire program so that you can try to run it.

void SaveText(HWND main)
{
int length;
char* buffer;

length = GetWindowTextLength(GetDlgItem(main, IDC_MAIN_EDIT));

if(length>0)
{
   OPENFILENAME saveFileInfo;

   saveFileInfo.lStructSize = sizeof(saveFileInfo);
   saveFileInfo.hwndOwner = main;
   saveFileInfo.hInstance = gThisInstance;
   saveFileInfo.lpstrFilter = ".TXT"+'\0';
   saveFileInfo.lpstrCustomFilter = '\0';
   saveFileInfo.nMaxCustFilter = 0;
   saveFileInfo.nFilterIndex = 1;
   saveFileInfo.lpstrFile = "Untitled.txt";
   saveFileInfo.nMaxFile = sizeof( saveFileInfo.lpstrFile );
   saveFileInfo.lpstrFileTitle = 0;
   saveFileInfo.lpstrInitialDir = "C:\\";
   saveFileInfo.lpstrTitle = "Hey";
   saveFileInfo.nFileOffset = 0;
   saveFileInfo.nFileExtension = 0;
   saveFileInfo.lCustData = 0;
   saveFileInfo.lpstrDefExt = 0;
   saveFileInfo.Flags = OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
   saveFileInfo.lpfnHook = (LPOFNHOOKPROC)0;
   saveFileInfo.lpTemplateName = 0;


   GetSaveFileName(&saveFileInfo); //error is here in debugging
   buffer = new char[length+1];
   GetDlgItemText(main, IDC_MAIN_EDIT, buffer, length + 1);
   ifstream saveTextFile("SaveText.txt", ios::binary);
   saveTextFile >> buffer;
   saveTextFile.close();
   delete buffer;

}
}
