[Dev-C++] update from 4.9.8.7

[rekisum <re...@we...>]

Hello,

I saw discussions about this, but no solution.

When I try to Update my DevCpp Version 4.9.8.7 the new
WebUpdate could not connect to the server.
I'm sitting behind a proxy and I don't now how to tell
WebUpdate the IP address and port. The settings
im my IE are correct by the way.
I don't want to lose all my settings and add ons so I
don't want to uninstall reinstall everything.
Any suggestions?

[Dev-C++] Newibie - getline() problem

[Dane E. <DE...@pa...>]

Hi all,
=20
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Im sure this createMember function is inferior, but I'm using
getline(cin, myVar); function in a series for inputing data. The first
time through my loop everything is fine.
In the next iteration the 'getline' statement skips over the first input
(memNumber) and goes straight to the proceeding one (fName). I think Im
missing something but I cant track down what it is or how to fix this.
Here is a block of my code:
=20
void createMember(member& newMember)
{
    cout << "\nPlease begin Member entry." << endl;
    cout << " Member Number: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.memNumber);//cin >> newMember.memNumber;
    cout << " Member First Name: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.fName);   =20
    cout << " Member Last Name: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.lName); =20
    cout << " Member Address: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.address);   =20
    cout << " Member City: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.city);=20
    cout << " Member State: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.state); =20
    cout << " Member zip code: ";
    getline(cin, newMember.zipCode);    =20
    cout << "\n";
        =20
    ofstream outData;
    outData.open("guild.txt",ios::app);          =20
        if (outData)
        {
        outData << newMember.memNumber << "," << newMember.fName << ","
<< newMember.lName << "," << newMember.address << "," << newMember.city
<< "," << newMember.state << "," << newMember.zipCode << endl;
        outData.clear();
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "An error occured while opening the file.\n";
        }
}

Hello,

The wxWidgets project template would have the right
compilers and linker options set for you. Whereas in a
new project, you will have to set them yourselves.

Go to project->options and copy paste the compiler and
linker options from the template project. Then you
have a new project which can be succesfully compiled.

Note:: This is how I understand the working of Dev-Cpp
and its templates. You might get a better reply than
this.

Hope this helps,

[Dev-C++] wxWidgets Hello World in dev-cpp?

[Todd G. G. <pi...@ea...>]

Hello everyone, 
 
I would like to ask the two following questions that I'm guessing will just show my ignorance.
 
1) What is different about an empty project and an auto generated wxWidgets project?
 
2) How do I start an empty wxWidgets project from scratch in the dev-cpp IDE?
 
Pardon this ignorant question.  I am not sure the proper list is wx-...@li... because this question seems to partially deal directly with dev-cpp.
 
I am using the IDE dev-cpp version 4.9.8.0 and I am able to run the auto generated wxWidgets hello world from the IDE.  If I paste the hello world code from the web site http://wxWidgets.org in place of the auto generated hello world I am able to compile and run it.  If however, I start from an empty project and compile and run the same code I received the following compiler output.
 
[Begin error output]
15 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\wx\wx.h

[Dev-C++] Mahalo for Help

[Roger F. <ra...@ha...>]

Aloha from Honoulu,
   Mahalo means Thank You in Hawaiian and my thanks go first to Reid 
Thompson who suggested that I type the code in directly istead of using 
the paste I copied from the Help page.

#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

The first clue was when I hit the first " after system(  and it was red.

   And my thanks also to all who responded, I will get around to 
downloading the latest version ASAP, but it's just wonderful to be able 
to continue my lesson plan without pulling hair over non-printing ASCII 
characters.
Once Again;
Mahalo,

[Dev-C++] CMYK Macro problems

[Jeremy A. <je...@ar...>]

There is a problem with the CMYK macros in wingdi.h as supplied with 
DevC++  4.9.8.10

The DevC++ version defines a different byte order to Microsoft

// DEV C++ Version

#define GetCValue(cmyk) ((BYTE)(cmyk))
#define GetMValue(cmyk) ((BYTE)((cmyk)>> 8))
#define GetYValue(cmyk) ((BYTE)((cmyk)>>16))
#define GetKValue(cmyk) ((BYTE)((cmyk)>>24))
#define CMYK(c,m,y,k) 
((COLORREF)((((BYTE)(c)|((WORD)((BYTE)(m))<<8))|(((DWORD)(BYTE)(y))<<16))|(((DWORD)(BYTE)(k))<<24)))

// Microsoft VC++ 6.0 version

/* Macros to retrieve CMYK values from a COLORREF */
#define GetKValue(cmyk)      ((BYTE)(cmyk))
#define GetYValue(cmyk)      ((BYTE)((cmyk)>> 8))
#define GetMValue(cmyk)      ((BYTE)((cmyk)>>16))
#define GetCValue(cmyk)      ((BYTE)((cmyk)>>24))
#define CMYK(c,m,y,k)       
((COLORREF)((((BYTE)(k)|((WORD)((BYTE)(y))<<8))|(((DWORD)(BYTE)(m))<<16))|(((DWORD)(BYTE)(c))<<24)))

Re: [Dev-C++] function errors

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

I think you have picked the wrong line for the error. You have the error
in:

if(contin =3D=3D '')

You might specify an empty string with "" but you may not specify an empty
character with '' - a character is always a character - just as a number
always have at least one digit. There are actually multi-character
constants too, i.e. '\r\n' is a dual-character constant. However, these
kind of character constants are a bit special and normally requires
knowledge about byte-order of the machine to be used safely.

You might write one of:
if (contin =3D=3D '\0')
or just:
if (contin =3D=3D 0)

to test for a "null" character.

I have no problem with compiles in the newer version. Consider 
downloading 4.9.8.0 from the website, www.bloodshed.net. Then, upgrade 
to 4.9.8.10. Version 4 isn't supported anymore. In fact, the compiler 
Dev-C++ uses, MinGW, is more reliable than Microsoft's compiler for me!

A better solution is to include <iostream> and use cin.get(). It is more 
portable, and would look like this:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cin.get();
return 0;
}

You can change the colors used by going to Tools->Editor Options->Syntax

In general, upgrading to 4.9.8.0 and then getting the 4.9.8.10 update is 
probably the best.

[Dev-C++] RE: Using GDI and GradientFill()

My mistake, never noticed it was in msimg32.dll. Sorted (obviously) by =
just adding a -lmsimg32 parameter to the linker options.

[Dev-C++] Help

[Roger A. F. <ra...@ha...>]

Aloha from Honolulu,
I just subscribed to the mailing list. I hope this is the right place to 
ask questions.
I don't know which version came on the CD because as I proceeded with 
the installation I was asked if I wanted the latest version and of 
course I clicked "Yes". The story so far: I purchased "Sams Teach 
Yourself C++ in 24 hours" by Jesse Liberty. The book included a CDROM 
with all the source code for the exercises and the Dev-C++ IDE (as well 
as a command line compiler and a debugger I haven't gotten to yet). The 
"About" under the Help menu lists my current version as "Version 4 Build 
on: 9/21/00 11:22:34PM". Clicking on "Check for Updated Version" returns 
a notice that such exists. But as your web page warns of earlier 
programs not compiling under this new version, I think I'll wait.
My immediate need is covered in the FAQ under the Help menu. The 
question #2. "When executing my dos program, it closes automatically. 
How I can change this ?" gives a little snippet of code:

#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

When I tried to include this in my program I got the following error 
mesage in the compiler window:
"c:\dev-c_~1\examples\hello\pause.cpp:6: parse error before character 0223"

And the color of "PAUSE" (including the quotes) is red in the help file, 
but shows up black in my source.
I tried unchecking the "Create for win32" in Compiler Options and also 
tried working within a project and unchecking the "Do not create a 
console" in Project Options. Neither had any effect--in fact they were 
not checked to begin with. In earlier lessons I was able to use this 
little bit:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char quit;
while (quit != 'q')
std::cout<<"Press q to quit " << std::endl;
std::cin>>quit;
return 0;
}
to keep the DOS window open. But this isn't possible in some cases (as I 
discovered).

I hope you can help me with this problem and let me know via email. Or 
tell me where to look if this gets posted somewhere.

Mahalo (Thank You),
Roger Furer

The functions you're probably looking for are:
FindFirstFile()
FindNextFile()
FindClose()

[Dev-C++] Seeing what files are in a directory

I am working on a text based game, and want to have the ability to have 
multiple save files. The save files will be plain .txt files with the 
info inside. Is there a Win32 function that will let me see what files 
are in the executable's directory?

Re: [Dev-C++] pthreads, cin.get & key codes

[Tony B. <tbo...@ly...>]

Thanks! that's exactly what I needed! I'm going for SDL, it looks more "polished" than Allegro and it has good references (like Civilization) - you can correct me if i'm wrong :-)

[Dev-C++] allegro problems with tft-lcd screen

[Ricardo_Lopez <ri...@un...>]

when I try to make a video programming with allegro on a tft-lcd screen
the plot on the screen is refreshed and this is lost...

is there some way to avoid this bad effect on these screens
and to keep all the plot during all the programme running ??.

any help is  appreciated.

Ricardo.

Re: [Dev-C++] pthreads, cin.get & key codes

[Scott S. <age...@co...>]

You could try to use a cross-platform input library. Maybe Allegro or 
SDL would work.
