[<gen...@ya...>]

you can check out the Windows Platform SDK documentation - it's a free, hefty download, but you can browse it online from http://msdn.microsoft.com. yeah, please, mail to the list, so you can help other people while getting help. different resources require different resource statements.

[Dev-C++] FILE FUNCTIONS and their problems

[<cm...@ya...>]

Im having some problems with the program that is
attached to this mail, I have some comcept of some
files functions and they do not work as I thought they
would. 
Let me explain what my program should do: I was asked
by a teacher to do a program that can insert and erase
variable length “registers”(I dont know if this is the
rigth way to explain it, it means that the registers
are  equally in a matter of space), so i decided to
make a file that stores names of people (variable) and
their respectives ages right?
So i put the differents procedures to make the needed
work, one to insert the register, one to show all the
registers on the file, and one to eliminate a
determined register. By the way i used the following
file functions fopen, fseek, fread, fwrite. 
INSERT AND SHOW(agregar y mostrar)
This part is a little hard for me to explain it, i
hope you can understand me, (and help me!!!!) I
decided to received the name trought the keyboard
input and then take the quantity of characters in the
string and then receive the age. All in that order are
inserted in a file. Which means that in a file with
one register, it would only have one integer (number
of characters in the string)+ the previous integer *
characters + the age integer. So I said im going to
store a register and Im going to show the file so i
can see that that register was saved right. 
Ok let me show you part of the insert code and explain
my main problem or doubt

while(!feof(fd)){
fread(&cant,sizeof(int),1,fd);  // quantity of
characters
char f=getchar();
printf("\nEl numero de caracteres es %d\n",cant);
if(cant<0){    // When the program eliminates
registers, it inserts the quantity of characters but
negative
fseek(fd,(-1*cant)+2,1); // so the position of the
next register can be calculated
}
else{
nom=(char*)malloc(cant);
fread(nom,sizeof(char)*cant,1,fd);
fread(&ed,sizeof(int),1,fd);
printf("%d:",cont++);
printf("El señor %s tiene %d años",nom,ed);
cant=0;


}
}
This was my first try and as you can see the fread
function is right after the while but when I ran the
program I inserted only one register and when I asked
the program to show it to me it showed me two but the
second had no name. So just to try I decided to put
the fread after the while and again after the cant=0
next to the end of the while (the same right)
NOOOOO!!!! The problem was aparently soluted and this
means that some garbage must be saved on the file and
i dont know where. Other problem was that I tried to
count how many bytes of garbage i had after the age
integer so i tried to put the next code after the
cant=0
Int counter=1;
While(¡feof(fd)){
Printf(“\n%d”,counter);
Fseek(fd,1,1);
counter++;
}

so I could see this information. But aparently the
fseek did not move file pointer at all because it
enter in an infinite loop and it didnot finished. 
One last question will be where can i get
documentation about the different functions of C/C++,
some thing that explains every standard function.
Thanks for reading my mail.
PLEASE EXCUSE MY ENGLISH IM NOT VERY GOOD AT IT.

[Dev-C++] vUpdate

[Oliver S. <ol...@qu...>]

Howdy,
I'm trying to build a project that is dependent on FLTK.  The
recommended way from the author of this project is to use Bloodshed
and  via the vUpdate program download and install the FLTK packages.
However, when I run vUpdate, it shows no packages as being available.

I'm running 4.9.8.0 and vUpdate 1.617.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Get the latest stable (2.4.2) wxWindows source release from=20
www.wxwidgets.org (you DON'T need imagelib).

Edit ".../wxWindows-2.4.2/include/msw/setup.h" and adjust it to your=20
needs (it's a LONG list, but read it through). You'll probably need=20
OpenGL for example, which is NOT enabled by default, so enable it if you=20
want.

Open a command prompt (cmd or command).

Go to ".../wxWindows-2.4.2/src/msw" directory.

Type "make -f makefile.g95 FINAL=3D1" to build as static library.
Type "make -f makefile.g95 FINAL=3D1 WXMAKINGDLL=3D1" to build as dynamic=
=20
library (DLL).
Both are possible, they do not conflict.

You'll get the libs at ".../wxWindows-2.4.2/lib".

Adjust your Dev-Cpp project to use correct settings (includes, libs, etc.=
).

Include dirs:
.../wxWindows-2.4.2/include
.../wxWindows-2.4.2/lib/mswdll
.../wxWindows-2.4.2/contrib/include

Lib dirs:
.../wxWindows-2.4.2/lib

Libraries:
-lwxmsw242 -lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm=20
-lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32

C++ Compiler flags:
-D_WIN32_IE=3D0x400 -D__WXMSW__ -D__GNUWIN32__ -DHAVE_W32API_H -DWXUSINGD=
LL

Of course, don't add -DWXUSINGDLL if you wish to use the static lib.

Re: [Dev-C++] How to write java launcher (.exe) using Dev-cpp

[Ewald H. <in...@ho...>]

Hi.

Java is a cross-platform interpreted language and therefore won't compile to
a standard EXE without using some third-party tools. Even with these tools
you need the Java Runtime Environment present to be able to launch your
application. The simplest way would be to simply make a shortcut to your JAR
archive. Most Window's will launch JAR files if you place the correct
manifest in the file. The Java Doc's explain how to make JAR files.

If you really want to make an EXE file with which to launch your application
(and I don't recommend it) you could create a program that calls the Java VM
and passes as a parameter the JAR archive or the main java file for your
program. Again, I won't recommend this, as a simple shortcut would be
sufficient. To launch an external file in C, a quick way is to call the
Win32 API like this:

  ShellExecute(NULL, "open","c:\\myfile.jar", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Of course, you could launch any file associated with an application in
Windows using this call, I often replace the "c:\\myfile.jar" part with the
names of documents or spreadsheets I want to open in an application program.

This is an outdated API call if I remember correctly, but it is still
supported on most Win32 platforms and easy to call.

Good luck

Re: [Dev-C++] Buttons in a windows GUI app

[Ewald H. <in...@ho...>]

Coding a Windows GUI application is really a bit of a pain compared to good
old console-based applications. And using libraries to do the job is
possible, but then you miss out on understanding how Windows works. I would
suggest getting hold of the Programming Windows book by Charles Petzold. It
is an awesome reference and documents how to do things without relying on
MFC most of the time.

If you want a simple example of a program that displays a dialog box with a
button and a text field, you could download it from my site under the
Programming section in the GUI Applications section. It's the output
generated by a tool I am working on. When you get serious about Windows
programming, you would have to get a resource editor to assist you with
designing your layouts. I humbly suggest checking out the MingW Developer
Studio at http://www.parinya.ca/ as it contains a great resource editor that
you can use even if you still use Dev-C++ as your main development
environment.

A good place to start with Windows programming is the link
http://www.relisoft.com/win32/winnie.html which will take you to Reliable
Software's excellent Win32 programming tutorial. It is an C++ orientated
tutorial that will give you a solid foundation for starting Windows
development.

I also often refer to The Complete Reference : Visual C++ 6 by Osborne books
a lot since it has two chapters dedicated to procedure orientated Windows
programming without MFC as well as being quite a handy reference to general
C and C++ programming.

[Dev-C++] Buttons in a windows GUI app

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

I am a beginner in windows programming. Can anyone explain how to add a 
button and a text field to a window? I am also trying to find a book on 
windows programming but all of them explain using the MSDN with Visual C++. 
Is there a book that can explain without using the Visual C++?

[Dev-C++] File IO?

[Rick L. <rla...@co...>]

Hello, I am fairly new to c and c++ in general. I wanted to know how to
read a file called "users.dat." The format goes as follows:

#username, password, email, homedirectory, shell
Root,somepassword, rla...@co..., C:\, bash
Rlangschultz, somepassword, rla...@co...,
C:\Home\rlangschultz,bash

I also have a file called groups.dat which I want to read from

#groupid, groupname, username, grouphome
500, Administrators, root, C:\

I basically want to do a search for each field. I want to be able to
print the found results to the screen, and then select the user, or
group for modification. Can someone help or give some kind of example.

I also need to know how to use arguments in a program.

Thanks, but I already saw this, and although the Ogre3d framework

Device was used in Project Nomads, as well as a series of other games,
and as such has a proven track record.

Having such a framework at your disposal seems to be a better way to
go.

[Dev-C++] The Nebula Device

[Malcolm N. <m.n...@wa...>]

Hello dev-cpp-users,

  Just out of curiosity, has anyone here managed to use Dev-Cpp in
  successfully compiling the Nebula Device?

  It looks like a good game engine, open source, lots of options.
  There have been claims that it can be compiled under MinGW (and thus
  by extension Dev-Cpp), but Currently I am unable to succeed.

  Possible informational links are:

  Home Page     http://www.radonlabs.de/
  
  Wiki Page     http://nebuladevice.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Nebula/CompilingNebulaWithMingw32
  

  There is a new version (Nebula 2) but I would be happy seeing Nebula
  1 compile and link correctly.

  If someone can get this to compile (before me) I'll buy them a beer
  (or whatever their drink of choice is) should they care to come to
  Holland to claim it.
