I assume you are talking about .NET. Well, i can only recommend the book
i am currently reading (and has this XML stuff in later chapters from
where i am currently) which is "Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Step by Step"
by Templeman - Olsen, Microsoft Press. 

About interfaces you will use the __interface keyword in your class
definition like

__gc __interface Imygraphicslibrary
{
 // ...
};

Add -liberty to compiler options.

#include <libiberty.h>

char *msg;

asprintf (&msg, "File %s not found!!", filename);
MessageBox (0, msg, "ERROR", MB_OK);
free (msg);

[Dev-C++] 3 distinct doubts in one. :)

[<we...@ha...>]

Hi,

I have 3 distinct doubts... and will write here... maybe someone can help
me. ;)

1) Where can i get the list of API's of Windows with prototypes and examples
of how to use or explication of each paramter of prototypes ?? :) (if
possible to download it.:))

2) I done a little code in C (for dos) that read a file binary and change a
offset. The code compile and run perfectily.
But when i create it under win32 application project project (C or C++) it
gave me the error:

The instruction at "0x004014b7" referenced memory at "0x026ec5bd". The
memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program.

And the some program (with the some code) work properly in a project od C
(for 16 bits). Why this problem ?? A Bug in Dev-C++ ?? How to fix it ?? :)

3) How to use "format strings" with MessageBox ??

For example in normal i do:

MessageBox(NULL, "File not found!!", "ERROR", MB_OK);

Suppose that i want print "File name_of_file not found" suppose that the
name_of_file is a vector.

Example:

char File[]="ProgTest";

I tryed of several ways like:

MessageBox(NULL, "File %s not found!!", "ERROR", MB_OK,File);

Or:

MessageBox(NULL, "File %s not found!!",File, "ERROR", MB_OK);

But it didn't work. It say that have much arguments to MessageBox. Then how
to do it ??

RE: [Dev-C++] Flush or set valeu from a key of Registry.

[Santiago P. C. <San...@yd...>]

Hi,

To manage registry keys and values, you must first open a key and then
manage its values, SO...
	You must have in mind that registry _KEYS_ and registry _VALUES_ are
different things!!!

(Take a look at the code bellow and check variables named: szKey and
szValueName)

Here you have a little C program that reads a DWORD value, increases it and
stores it again in the registry. Values are printed on the screen.
To handle a string you should modify a few values: 
	dwDataType		must macht with REG_STRING,
	dwDataSize  	must be high enough to store the retrieved value,
	and few more...

Hope this helps!

[Dev-C++] big exes for wxwindows

[john <jw...@dt...>]

I compiled and ran all of the samples, but the sample for wxwindows 
seems inordinately large. Is there or are there plans for a dll, or 
should I just compile by own.

As an aside, I dowloaded some VC++ project files directly from the 
wxwindows site and attempted to compile these, apparently they need some 
tweaking, which I may do, but I'm spoiled as projects for FLTK and SDL 
compiled without a hitch. Which reminds me, how is the FLTK package for 
DEV-C++ comming? ;)

How do I get it to throw an exception is construction fails? I tried using

in the constructor's body but I got into an assertion loop (as code here was

[Dev-C++] Some help with ported C ansi code

[Roberto R. <rob...@ar...>]

Hi all,

I ported all my code from DJGPP to Dev-C++  in ansi C format. The 
compilation is ok now.
But when I run it the program crash near at the end.

I use some like 8 files to read or write in a form
FILE *fp1 ...*fp8;

fp1 = fopen(archme,"r");
fp2 = fopen(archme,"w");
and so on

fprintf (fp2,"format", variables here );
........
.........
etc.

Finally fclose to end it. So ...

The file *fp4 looks with 0 bytes ever.

the other files are not empty but look not completed at all.

I see the crash zone about fclose files sentences.
Need I do some like a flush before close the files ?

Im using windows xp (Of course the program works well in DJGPP)

Thanks for any ideas

Roberto

[Dev-C++] Constructors throwing exceptions.

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

Hello all,
   I want my constructors (default, overloaded, and copy) to throw an 
exception if they fail.

1) How do I test if the constructor has failed?
2) Is it better to create an Exception class to throw exception objects, 
rather than throwing strings and integers?
3) Where does the catch block go? In the main function after the object has 
been created? Or in the constructor body?


Many thanks,
Daniel

You can store data in files in a portable way using text mode (which
occupies much space). If you store in binary mode the file is system
dependent, that is that the same program compiled in a different
compiler (or even a different version of the same compiler) is not
guaranteed to read the data properly.

I do not know if it is safe when you use the Win32 API. Are they the
same funtions precompiled for all compilers in a dll, or every compiler
provides its own version of Win32 API? Anyone who knows please inform
us. I am studying .NET, and in .NET the same dll is provided
(mscorlib.dll) for every compiler. I guess the same is true for Win32
API.


But even if Win32 API facilities are the same for every Windows
compiler, the binary file is not portable to other OSes. But the text is
(that's why HTML, etc are text).



But why use files in the first place. I think it is more convenient (and
time efficient) to use "roll-back" variables where you will store the
previous values.



> Use conditional compilation?  (#ifdef, etc.)


The ANSI C++ file facilities are enough.

In summary if you want to use (system-dependent) binary files use the
ANSII C++ provided facilities. The code will be portable (compile
everywhere but by definition binary files are not portable).

As I understand it... callback (particularly in Windows, but other UI 
toolkits aswell)
need to be static class members.  It pertains to the implied "this" that 
is passed to
non-static members.  Causes a world of difficulty as I understand it.

Still trying to figure out some of the techniques for circumventing this.

(Not fond of "thunking".  How are other people accomplishing this?   
I've checked out
the Reliable Software (?) methodolgy, but it seems a little on the fence 
between OOP
and procedural programming...)

True.  However, I'd be aiming to restore to a previous state... not 
necessarily a "blank" initial state.

To that end, I'd want to capture a state... and then update it (as 
changes were accepted by the end
user), but allow a fallback to a previous state.  The only other... 
seemingly true OOP solution I see
is to have a property method that retains the previous value (saw 
something like this mentioned in
a rogue-like game development newgroup).  The only problem being is that 
it creates a ton of
member functions for maintenance.

I like simplicity and conciseness in code.  Too much code, or too 
complex code, and it's just a
pain to maintain.

I'm still experimenting.  When I get something worth posting, I'll put 
it out for public
consumption/review 8-).

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

I don't worry about portability that much (my primary language being 
proprietary).  Time
to change my thinking.

But, is it safe to say that everything should be okay if this methodolgy 
is used for
in-memory state maintenance?  

(Unless I start sharing memory across platforms, I suppose... which 
isn't extremely likely to happen...8-)

How worried are people about bit problems (i.e. endian-ness cross

I'd never really stopped to think about it until it came up ... I forget

in which there are few funtions written for
implementing multithreading. I have a funtion named
"createThreads_()", which creates few threads. There
is another function declared in the class, "DWORD
WINAPI threadEntry_(LPVOID)". This function pointer
has been passed in the CREATETHREAD(..) call, which is
being raised as an error in VC++ compier. 
It gives the error like,
_________________________ 
error C2664: 'CreateThread' : cannot convert parameter
3 from 'unsigned long (void *)' to 'unsigned long
(__stdcall *)(void *)'
        None of the functions with this name in scope
match the target type
________________________

If I use any external function Thread Function(making
it as friend to the class) then compilation is
through, WHICH IS AS EXPECTED. 
Similarly, if I make the "threadEntry_(..)" in class
as STATIC and use it in CREATETHREAD(..) call then
also compilation is through. But making STATIC wont
serve my purpose. 
I can go ahead with using external function by making
int as friend to the class.

BUT HERE MY CONCERN IS WHY NOT POSSIBLE TO USE A
MEMBER FUNCTION AS THREAD FUNCTION?????

Will anyone pls clarify if you know the reason. 

thanks in advance, 

regards,
Raghunath Marella

[Dev-C++] WINDRES & MAKE Problems with DEV-C++

[<dav...@st...>]

Hi!

I have recently started using DEV-C++ and my first project
was to port some existing software which compiled with no
problem on Borland BCC5.5 compiler to the DEV-C++ platform.

I had few problems but here are the two that I found:

1) WINDRES reports the following error from these three
   lines of RESOUCE code:

   RESOURCE CODE
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   "?",            IDM_ABOUT,   ALT
   "/",            IDM_ABOUT,   ALT
   "x",            IDM_EXIT,    ALT   
  
   ERROR MSG
   ~~~~~~~~~
   inappropriate modifiers for non-VIRTKEY
   inappropriate modifiers for non-VIRTKEY   
   inappropriate modifiers for non-VIRTKEY

   I checked with the Win32 API documentation regarding accelerators and 
   my resource code is correct (I think).

   I have found that despite the error messages, the resulting .RES file
   has the correct accelerators but it would be nice to have no errors.


2) In my project, the MAKE produces the following link command:

   g++.exe ../Source/VlogData.o ../Source/AutoGRNEngine.o ../Source/CComm.o 
../Source/ConfigData.o ../Source/DateTime.o ../Source/Dialogs.o 
../Source/ImportFiles.o ../Source/LocalDB_Queries.o ../Source/Lot.o 
../Source/S2LiveDB_Queries.o ../Source/SendMail.o ../Source/Shipment.o 
../Source/ShipmentAck.o ../Source/ShipmentContent.o ../Source/SPN_Queries.o 
../Source/UtilityFunctions.o ../Source/AutoGRN.o AutoGRN.res -o 
"..\AutoGRN.exe" -L"d:/progra~1/Dev-C++/lib" -l"odbc32" -l"wsock32" 
-I"d:/progra~1/Dev-C++/include"  -I"D:/Progra~1/Dev-C++/include/g++-3"  
-I"d:/progra~1/Dev-C++/include"  -I"../Include"   -s -mwindows

   This however generates a 'BAD COMMAND OR FILENAME' error.

   The problem seems to be the output section:    -o "..\AutoGRN.exe"

   If I change this to -o"..\AutoGRN.exe"   (remove the space) then it compiles 
fine.
   
   This is an annoying problem as the purpose of an IDE is to be able to build 
your
   .EXE with one interface and no unnecessary manual intervention.

   Some more features to control the MAKE build into DEV-C++ would be nice. Is 
it 
   planned?


One last point, I spent some time figuring out how to use DEV-C++. It would be 
nice
to have some help package but none came with installation I downloaded 
(4.9.4.1). I
saw some references to a DEVCPP.HLP file on the Internet but couldn't find one. 
Could 
you please advise where I can get good help documentation which can be 
downloaded to 
the PC. (I am not always in a position to get online docs.)



Thanks and regards,
David  :->


P.S. So far, I am very impressed with DEV-C++. Good work.

Hello, i can't compile postgresql and mysql static library (both c and c++
interface) on  my windows.
does dev-cpp have that package to download ?.

[Dev-C++] ++ in default install dir

[Abhijit S. <mu...@gm...>]

The '++' character in the Dev-C++ default install directory (C:\Dev-C++)
trips up installs and makes which call 'copy'(which treats + as a special
command). I suggest that it be changed to C:\Dev-Cpp, or, even better,
C:\Dev_Cpp.
