Re: [Dev-C++] GUI library?

[E L. <cr...@my...>]

For small to medium sized apps its hard to beat fltk at www.fltk.org. 
It is a small, fast and is easy to use toolkit for Windows and
Linux/unix.  It comes with a very good GUI builder called "fluid"

[Dev-C++] Source editing tool to make some like a `grep` interactively

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

Hi all,

There are some editing tool to make some like a `grep` to do a source 
trace of declarations, variables, etc. ?
I mean, I wish to see an separate copy over a code portion but 
interactively just like a filter, to see a variable circuits code, for 
example:
my prog()
int Test[20];
... some code
...
Test[wathever]++;
..
.. more code
..
if (Test[wathever] > 5) dosome();
...
... more code
...
Test[wathever] = ending_time;
...

(maybe resalted in colours too, and so on)

Thanks in advance

Rob

Why 1.3? 1.3 is the unstable version and have lots of bugs.
The early versions were partially source compatible with 1.2 and the
later versions were source compatible with 2.0.
2.0 is the final version. Eventually, everybody will port their 1.2 apps
to 2.0, so I don't see the point in providing a package for 1.3 just to
be compatible with 1.2.

Re: [Dev-C++] GUI library?

[Daniel K. O. <dan...@ya...>]

Try using the Gtk 2.0 package for the GUI, and use wGLADE to design your
interface.
wGLADE uses Gtk 1.3, but you can compile most of the interfaces with the Gtk
2.0 package.
The Gtk 1.3 files you can find at Tor's pages, at www.gimp.org, and the
wGLADE you can search on Sourceforge.net.


Suggestion to Hongli Lai: make a Gtk 1.3 package, so will be easier to port
Gtk programs from *nix that use the 1.3 version.

Re: [Dev-C++] edit controls

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

I am learning windows, with a book after having read some tutorials, so I=
 cannot
say much, but I don't remember any answer, so here are my two cents:

In the Win32API reference (13MB) you can download at
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/, there are some pages about rich e=
dits,
the introductory one (which does not explain anything) says this:

A rich edit control is a window in which the user can enter and edit text=
. The
text can be assigned character and paragraph formatting, and can include
embedded OLE objects. Rich edit controls provide a programming interface =
for
formatting text. However, an application must implement any user interfac=
e
components necessary to make formatting operations available to the user.

I eyed the pages about rich edit controls very quickly, if I understood w=
ell,
you can use rich edit controls without OLE, although they support OLE.
In your message it seems like you don't know the DrawText function, which=
 makes
some wrapping of the text to the window (see below), and its prototype is=
,
pasted from the win32api reference:
int DrawText(

    HDC hDC, // handle to device context
    LPCTSTR lpString, // pointer to string to draw
    int nCount, // string length, in characters
    LPRECT lpRect, // pointer to structure with formatting dimensions
    UINT uFormat  // text-drawing flags
   );

lpRect is, of course, the rectangle defining the region of the window whe=
re you
want display the text.
This would be the better alternative to rich edits than textout, if they'=
re not
available without OLE, since it makes a part of the work.

[Dev-C++] some truths of personality.

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

Some facts demonstrated:

Every human has a language
it has no language
--------------------------
it is non human

If it has language it knows express with right words
it has no right words
----------------------------
it has no language

If it is human it has to be respected
But non human
---------------------------
It has not to be respected.

It has no language, bad words, not respect, not had to be respected...
It is a parrot !
What does a parrot in this list?

Well, the best definition of a person, and almost every human is a
person (this is a very recent discovery by us, let's get the patent), is
achieved in terms of his (I know in english the right way of saying
general things is using male/female form, but let me use the spanish's
rule of using simply the male form when the both male and female are
involved) morality, which is not only the ethics but much more, it is
the major side of the life; it is not all, of course, but let me have
perfectly this side and my life will be fine, something impossible if I
only lose this side.
And either the morality is a matter of sensibility and intelligence,
since intelligence has many sides: ethic,problem solving, social
behaviour... You must understand the moral fundamentals of the life and
either feel them, where feel has a deep meaning (don't misunderstand
this, it is better you understand this feeling as a simple feeling
rather than thinking I am saying this feeling is not a feeling but
another thing I name with that word. Then say the feeling must not be
despised.).
The most important that a man must have is understanding and feeling all
the moral content of the world and his own behaviour and actions, since
they are the most deep basis which can make his life something
authentic, rather than animal, say we in our lifes must everytime to
choose between a personal life or an animal life. You don't necessarily
have to pass days and hours thinking about those things, although of
course you should do some times, the major part will be achieved by that
feeling (which, say, can be trained), or by periconscious thinking (I
prefer this word periconscious rather than subconscious or inconscious,
which can lead to serious errors in thought).
One of the things a person understands is that the respect is something
important, it is always respect the others when speaking thoughts and
actions, and address with them with sincere thought and arguments,
examining them with patience and answering them with respect to the
other and adjusting the words to an specific form of rigorous thought
and reasons, and who says something in that way explains his reasons
that way, with correct arguments (them can be wrong or right, but you
can see the error is not in his intention, he simply starts from bad
premises or wrong information). Because is personal the attitude of
discussing reasonabily. But if those forms are not used, the words
become awful, unrespecteful and unpleasant they reveal an automatic
response, a "jumping" reaction (spanish parentheses: es una reacci=F3n
autom=E1tica, es saltar en cuanto se ofrece el est=EDmulo) to an stimulus=
,
just as the Pavlov's dog, the words are not elaborated because they
don't flow from the personal thought, it comes from a bark, the animal
automatisms.
What the man has reached is the surpassing of the animal automatisms,
and everyone of us must choose for that overcoming, and we must fight
for that be still that.
And another thing about the moral of the man, is that the worst is
cowardy, we must act against the evil, the error, and the bad people and
events, so we cannot stay quiet while a were-animal is acting as it
believes it shall be, all what them need is the passivity of the good
real persons.

Perhaps some reasons anybody can have for using a coarse language is a
bad knowledge of the idion he is using, so the expressions and forms are
not known or there is too many unknown words for the right expression,
so it's possible to use some kind of rude expressions which say what one
want say, better than a more polite forms but which will be
misunderstood due to a bad construction. But I think that such cases
would be more or less easily noticed.

What can lead some body to speak in such a way?. I only can think in
drugs as possible cause for such a rotting. Or mental illness.
What age can he have? Whatever the answer, it is horrible!
Depressing...

Perhaps he was at first bad knowledgeable of this idiom and after he saw
some kind of offence I cannot see?
Or a brutal lack of sense of humor? (I hope this first plus a bit of
this latter)

Thank you all.

[Dev-C++] stdafx and afx---

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

Can I found those files somewhere?
Are they in the Windows SDK downloadable from the msdn.microsoft.com
site? It's a giant download, so I wouldn't like see they are not there
after hours downloading.
In a page about Borland C++ 5.5 I saw two links from where it was said
you can download something for having ActiveX/COM/OLE (I believe afx are
from activex, it sounds active[file]x) for Borland, but the links are
broken and I found one which seems to be the same, but I didn't find the
equivalent for the other.
There were Microsoft Platform SDK (found) and "specially tools" (not
found)

It is possible, but to implement a good plugin system would require
rewriting lots of code. The code architecture isn't modular enough.

[Dev-C++] Idea

[Andres R. <lo...@ho...>]

Well, then..

I wonder, if it is possible to write bookmarks made in code to .dev file
in order to not search/toggle again. I am using _multi_ sourcefile
project
and it is really annoying to always do the same thing, after dev-c++ or
system crashes.

I think it is possible, since atm there is 4 other variables defined for
one code file, why not define other 1 to 10 variables? I am willing to
sacrifice some space for convinience.
It could go something like that:

[Unit1]
FileName=globals.c
Open=1
Top=0
CursorCol=1
CursorRow=1
Book1=353
Book2=3412
Book3=..

or a little set of instrucctions for starting to investigate...

thanks and sorry, but the error is on me, not in the code. I read some data,
try to calculate with it, but dont store them. The calculation function has
no data and gives the error. The correct function is:

string SP(size_t n) {
  string s(n, ' ');
  return s;
}
  
bool ReadDataKbd(const string &s) {
  ofstream out(s.c_str());
  
  string ein;
  
  cout << "Sollwert:" << SP(6);

  out << ein << endl;
  
  cout << "Obere Grenze:  ";
  cin >> ein;

[Dev-C++] Compiler messages on compiling a wxWindows app

[Frank W. <F.W...@wi...>]

Hello,

I'm new to wxWindows programming and got the latest package form the
web recently.
I use Dev-C++ Beta 4.9.4.1 in combination with the Cygwin compiler
environment.
So I tried the following:
File -> New Project -> GUI - wxWindows.
Then I got two sourcefiles main.h and main.cpp and I tried to compile
it without writing any code by myself.
The first errormessage I got was that my compiler can't find wx.h so I
set the includepath in the project options to
c:\Programme\Dev-C++\include. But this is not the default for the
compiler the standard header files are in c:\cygwin\usr\include\g++-3
After that the wx.h was found by the compilor but I got several
messages of this type:
