I got it!! After weeks of searching I got it working. I needed to add 'c:\dev-cpp\include' to the Resource Include Directory. Note that it's referring to 'hand.cur' using a relative search, that's why it has to be added in this fashion. Why doesn't Dev-cpp do this automatically by default?

	Hello,

	I use dev-cpp 4.9.6.0 with a default compiler g++-3.
	What's difference between g++ and gcc?
	I downlaod MinGW32 and i want use gcc-3-2 like defaut compiler for dev-cpp
4.9.6.0. How use MinGW32 with dev-cpp and how choice gcc-3-2 like default
compiler?

	Thunks.

Re: [Dev-C++] How can I become a great windows programmer?

[Yeoh H. <ye...@ye...>]

You have some very interesting viewpoints.

I'm assuming that the programmer has already covered the basics of C++, OOP,
data structures and algorithms and also using the compiler system.He wants
to move on to higher levels. :-)

Writing many programs do not take a very long time and it does not mean that
you learn only a little during each project. It all depends on the nature,
size and complexity of the program. Start with small projects. Define
precisely what you want to learn from the project. This will determine the
nature of the program. Then look for existing programs that do similar
things. Download them, run them, see how they work. If source code is
available, download it too but don't read them yet.

Get a feel of how other software works, then design your own. Write the code
the best way you know how at this moment. Once you've written your code,
then take a look at what others have done. Compare yours with theirs. See
how they do it. Is it any better?  IMHO this is the best way for me to
learn.

If you don't know how to implement a particular feature, then read their
code to see how they do it. Know why and how to do it, then write your own
code. This OOP thing is great. In most cases, don't re-invent the wheel. Use
other people's code, with their permission of course. Try Open Source codes.
:-)

IMHO, a programmer has to both READ other programmer's code and WRITE your
own code.  When I come to think of it, my ex-bosses, and existing clients
have asked me what programs have I written and not what source codes I've
read. :-)

You have a great day Per Westermark.

Best Regards,
Yeoh

P.S. I suppose, each programmer works and learns differently. So find a
method that works and if it works for you, fine. :-)

Re: [Dev-C++] STL problem

[Sebastien M. <seb...@te...>]

Hello,

Of course it doesn't work!!!
The second arguement of your template MUST be a vector and not a Compare object.

priority_queue<T, Sequence, Compare>

Here is the definition of the priority_queue template.

Sequence is by default vector, is you are ok to use vector type, so
define your template in this way:

priority_queue<int, vector<int>, less<int> > IntPQueue;

And it works ;o)

Happy coding,
Sebastien.

Re[2]: [Dev-C++] How can I become a great windows programmer?

[<or...@vp...>]

Hello Everyone!

PW> One problem with writing many programs is that it takes a very long time,
PW> while you learn only a little during each project

Well,  I  have  to disagree here. I started programming 2 years ago. I
played  too  much  on  PC,  and  so  my  brother told that I should do
something  "useful".  I started from absolute zero (-273 *C), I didn't
even  know  what  was the meaning of "programming". I learned from the
book  "B.W.Kernighan-D.M.Ritchie:  The  C  Programming Language" and I
have  learned  the  basics. I never needed any other book.
I  started  my  first Windows app 1 and 1/2 years ago, it was a simple
program that played Conway's Game of Life. I didn't even know anything
about  memory  handling  that  time,  so  I used static arrays. As the
program  grew, I've read the memory handling things, and pointers from
the  book,  and  I've  learned very interesting things, and I was very
happy,  that I understood pointers. Later I implemented something like
a doubly chained list (sorry, my english) from what I've heard from my
brother YEARS before. I realised later, that this type of list exists,
and is actually used often in programming.
Now,  I  am  at  writing  a  cross-platform free library that plays 2D
Cellular  Automatons  (my  english  again),  and  also  implements   a
(theoretically) endless universe (things like in Life32), rule
handling, reading from files, etc.
I  can tell you, I've learned the most from writing, and struggling on
my own.

So  by  writing  things all by yourself, you can learn MUCH more, than
from  trying  to  understand  often hardly optimised sources. Learning
from code reading is only advised later, when you have strong basics.

[Dev-C++] STL problem

[Marcos C. <ca...@un...>]

Hi!

I have a little problem with Dev in STL library. The problem is in 
priority_queue  with declaration of function object for relational test. 
The source code is:

#include <iostream>
#include <queue>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    typedef priority_queue< int, less<int> > IntPQueue;   // HERE!!!!
IntPQueue ipqueue;
ipqueue.push (31);
ipqueue.push (87);
ipqueue.push (13);
ipqueue.push (29);
while (!ipqueue.empty())
{
    cout << ipqueue.top() << endl;
ipqueue.pop();
}
return 0;
}

What is doing?

Thanks,

Marcos

Re: [Dev-C++] Number of elements of a multidimensional

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

Not true that sizeof never returns size of array. It depends on what
declaration the compiler sees when processing the sizeof operator.

void func(int *array) {
    // sizeof(array) =3D sizeof(int*)
}

void func(int array[]) {
    // sizeof(array) =3D sizeof(int*)
}

void func() {
    int array[4];
    // sizeof(array) =3D 4*sizeof(int)
}

Big gotcha about this.
    char buf[100];
    write(fd,buf,sizeof(buf));
converted to:
    char *buf =3D malloc(100);
    write(fd,buf,sizeof(buf))
would fail miserably, because the second version would only write 4 bytes
in a 32-bit machine...

Re: [Dev-C++] Number of elements of a multidimensional

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

The sizeof applied to a array will give you the size of a pointer, never
the size of the array.
Say char *array; or char array[];
Then sizeof(array) =3D 4. (at least in my intelIII x86, with win2k 4 is
the size for any kind of pointer).

The only solution is to have some special value for the end of the
array. Which for strings is '\0', and you can try to set another
depending on which kind of data you're working with and which range of
values you can find, so you can then choose on of the values which are
out of the range to set as that special value. So you can reach for it
and you can then now, with the approppriate functions you can write the
total size of the array and the size of each row of the multidimensional
array.

[Dev-C++] Number of elements of a multidimensional

[Samuel K. <big...@ya...>]

Isn't there a keyword sizeof in C/C++? It seems like I
remember one but I've never had to use it. I think
there is one and I think it returns the number of
bytes in the array of objects. All you would have to
do is divide by the number of bytes that is in just
one object. I may be off on this. Like I said, I
haven't really had to use this before.

[Dev-C++] InitCommonControls() Problem

[Megan W. <me...@e-...>]

Hi everyone, 

I get the following error messages when trying to compile my project that
uses "CommonControls":
[Basically a small program that uses a ToolBar...]

 - C:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\MenuBar.o [Warning] In function `WinMain':
 - [Linker error] undefined reference to `InitCommonControls@0' 
 - [Linker error] undefined reference to `CreateToolbarEx@52'
 - C:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [MenuBar.exe] Error 1

I have included the Header file <commctrl.h>

In WinMain() if have done the following...
---
InitToolbar();                [this is the method that I use to initialize
the ToolBars structure]
InitCommonControls(); 

tbwnd = CreateToolbarEx(hwnd,
                WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER,
                ID_TOOLBAR,
                NUMBUTTONS,
                hThisInstance,
                IDTB_BMP,

                0, 0, 16, 16, 
                sizeof(TBBUTTON));
----
I don't recieve any other error messages and my Resource file and Header

If you have any ideas on how I can solve this problem, please let me know.

If you are programming in C++, use std::vector instead. If you are
programming in C you have to store it in a separate variable and
transfer the value to every function call.

Re: [Dev-C++] How can I become a great windows programmer?

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

One problem with writing many programs is that it takes a very long time,
while you learn only a little during each project - if you don't know what
nice algorithms/constructs that are available, it isn't so easy to search
for more indepth information on internet or in books either, and buy a lot
of random books costs a lot of money.

A faster method of learning how to program is to READ code. Download a lot
of code and read it and really try to understand what makes the program
tick. Start with small/simple programs and then progress.

Don't learn how to copy code from other programs - that is copyright
violations - but if you understand how other programs works, you will
easily later come up with working solutions to your own problems.

Any time you just can't understand something about a program, make a
decision. Is it because the code is badly written then ignore it. If it
seems that the original programmer really knew what he was doing, then
spend just about ANY time to find out the function. When you finally
overcomes the problem, it might be a real eye-opener - woow cool...

I think what Luc wants is a kind of run-time range control. Almost everyo=
ne new to C misses it. There couldn't be such functions, and the reason i=
s simple: most C software is based on the ability to surpass range bounds=
. Keeping control of the bounds yourself is what you have to do, everytim=
e you use low level arrays.=0D=0A=0D=0AI recommend using STL containers l=
ike vector<>. Use it to write your own matrix<T> templates, it's not hard=

RE: [Dev-C++] Number of elements of a multidimensional array

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

Is there not a C function that can do this?

failing that, set an integer and use a while loop. something like

// iterate through array using whatever function it is, MoveNext or 
whatever.
// increment the integer.
// check for '/0'
// iterate again

something like that I guess.

RE: [Dev-C++] Number of elements of a multidimensional array

[<jp...@bo...>]

	So far as I know, it is not possible to do what you want. The
programmer must control the size of this kind of array so he can
manipulate it. If it wasn't a pointer you could achieve it by dividing
the array by the size of one single element or something like this... Or
if you stored Null terminated strings you could search for the '\0'
character... Beyond this two cases, I don't know if it's possible, but
if someone else know any way, I'd like to know it too.

Re: [Dev-C++] Need Help - Clear Screen

[Yeoh H. <ye...@ye...>]

Hi,

Are you using the latest Dev-C++ version? I'm using version 4.9.6.9 and
clrscr() works.

After you have created a Win32 console template application through File,
New, Project, you need to do the following:

1. In your source file, you'll need to have this line.
#include <conio.h>

2. In Project Options, Linker Options/Optional Libs or Object files, you
need to add this:
-lconio

To see which console functions are supported, take a look at conio.c and
conio.h in the Dev-C++ include directory.

Regards,
Yeoh

Re: [Dev-C++] How can I become a great windows programmer?

[Yeoh H. <ye...@ye...>]

Hi Daniel,

This is an interesting question.

> crazy thing to ask as I know you don't become one overnight, but how can I
> get on and become good at windows programming?
IMHO, the best way to become good at programming (Windows or otherwise) is
to write programs, many programs in whatever fields of application that
interests you. When you do this, you'll find that you'll need to learn more
about programming and matters related to that field and operating system.
That is very good. You find books and search the Internet to find the
required information, understand how it works, then use it in your projects.
As you continue, project after project, you'll learn much more. Each time
you think of a new project, you'll be exercising your creativity skills too.
:-)

>I'm specifically asking for tutorials on websites, general tips (don't
use/do use wizards in VC++),
> things like that.
For Visual C++ programmers, IMHO the best sites are:
1. www.codeproject.com
2. www.codeguru.com

Yeoh
