• Niranjan Arikela Trying to learn C++ - but some things just dont make sense....

  Hi Folks, I am trying to learn C++ but some things just dont make sense. For example I am looking at a tutorial on OpenGL at http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp lesson=13 Now he calls a function with: glPrint("Active OpenGL Text With NeHe - %7.2f", cnt1); // Print GL Text To The Screen It passes two arguments to glPrint - the string and whatever cnt1 is. What I find weird is that glPrint doesnt actually do anyth ...Show All

• Shenry Circular Buffer using CEdit (MFC)

Then the list of Cstring is combined and result is displayed in the CEdit text box using SetWindowText. The problem is that if the number of lines for log messages is la ...Show All

• P.D. How to make crtdbg.h and new(std::nothrow) work

  Hi. I've been using the crtdbg functions for a while to find memory leaks, and it works great when I use the following preprocessor statements. #ifdef _DEBUG #define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC #include <crtdbg.h> #define DEBUG_NEW new(_NORMAL_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__ ) #define new DEBUG_NEW #endif As you'll know, this way the crtdbg functions show the correct file and line where the memory of the leak was reserved, using the "new" operat ...Show All

  Hello I have past C# experience but I've really wanted to move to C++ .NET 2005. Does anyone have any recommendations of books or tutorials. Preferably tutorials and books directly related to C++.NET 2005. Thanks Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform is a good book for learning the C++/CLI language.

• DhawalMehta Embedding an edit control into a tab control

  I want to embed four different edit controls into four different tabs. How do I do that The best thing to do would be to set a breakpoint in the debugger and see whether it's called twice. I'm sure it is. In fact I've heard sporadic reports of this happening in the past (OnIntialUpdate called twice for CFormView). One way around this is to use some kind of class member "flag" e.g. bool m_bHasBeen ...Show All

• Il-Sung Lee - MSFT C++/CLI, Strings and switch()

  Under C# it is possible to feed strings to the switch() statement and its cases, this doesn't seem to work in C++/CLI. Is there a way to make it work, which I don't know about, or don't I get around chaining if-statements Thanks. Sorry when I said ' you could probably do the same in C++/CLI', I meant you achieve the effect by using a Hashtable or if statements. The C# compiler actually converts the sw ...Show All
