    - hangman project Hello, I'm somewhat new to C++. I am taking a class on it in college, but the teacher doesnt like to explain things very well. Basically her idea of helping us learn C++ is this: "this is how you start all your programs in this class: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { } " She never explainted even what "#include <iostream>" or "using namespace std;" ment. So, this brings us to my question. I'm trying to write a c++ program *for a project in class* that is a hang man game. The hangman is stored in a character array. The user is able to input a word into a 25 character array "char word[25];". There are a couple of things I need to do. the first thing is, I need to know how to count how many characters are stored in my character array. SO, I can clear the screen and then print out underscores for how many characters there are in the variable "word". So, if player one enters the word "apple" for player two to guess then it will see that "hey theres 5 characters in the array" then it will clear that and then print out 5 underscores like this "_ _ _ _ _". Then, when the user types in a letter, it will then, if false, make a limb fall off, and if its true then it will replace the underscore with the letter guessed. SO, since were using apple as the example, lets say, the user guesses "l". It will the turn "_ _ _ _ _" into "_ _ _ l _". then say the user guesses "a". then it will turn "_ _ _ l _" into "a _ _ l _" so on and so fourth. My teacher requires us to do this project and we haven't gone over how to do any of this kind of stuff. I mean, I know variables, if statements, arrays and some other stuff, but I'm stuck.

    - Constructors for global variables are not called??? I have a VC++ project B that is linked into a static library "B.lib". This library is linked into project A which creates A.exe. The constructors for the global varaiables in B do not get called. 1. If I have golbal variables in A then there is no problem - the constructors for those get called. 2. I f the solution (Project A and B) get linked on my coleagues computer then there is no problem. 3. The whole soltion is shared between us via rational clearcase so we have the same sources and the same project files. - so it must be one of the flags of visual studio - but which Thanks, D. dannyg View Public Profile Find all posts by dannyg Add dannyg to Your Buddy List Tag: Visual C++ General ATL-COM: Failed to return new Code Element...

    - ActiveX on Vista Hi We have application which is launched by Activex and works fine on Windows XP - but we are having problems with this on Vista. We have looked at many MSDN articles which suggest using manifest files. We have implemented manifest in resource section of correct .exe file using MSVS. We have also read some articles regarding the use of MT.exe tool (v5) from the Vista SDK to embedd the manifest file, which seems to complete the embedding process ok. Using this example from MSDN:- <trustInfo xmlns="urnchemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <security> <requestedPrivileges> <requestedExecutionLevellevel="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="true"/>; </requestedPrivileges>; </security> </trustInfo> Unfortunately when the Activex is launched Windows Vista seems to ignore the manifest and copy the files from website to the virtualized folder and not the real folder. The real destination folder is "c:\users\%username%\documents\%appname%" - But the files keep being copied to the virtualised folder:- "c:\users\%username%\appdata\local\micrsoft\windows\temporary internet files\virtualized\c\users\%username%\documents\%appname%\" after copying files to the virtualized folder, the application attempts to launch but we get "Error Access Denied" and cannot launch. Also:- It seems that "manifest" files are for System folders and not user folders, so we are unsure why this is happening with the users profiles folders also. If files are manually copied to correct location, the application can be manually launched (but not from activex) Any help would be greatly appreciated to overcome this problem and get our application running from activex like it does successfully in windows xp.

I try to compile the same exe project in Visual Studio and the output binary is run without a problem. The size of the binary output by Visual Studio is same as my output binary. So there must be something that I did is difference from Visual Studio. As far as I know the only difference between my building way and Visual Studio is the order of compiling and linking the files. Visual Studio will compile the file in following order for cpp with /TP (example) "2.cpp" "1.cpp" "3.cpp" and VS will create another command file with /TC (example) "4.c" and VS will link all the obj and res with name (example) "3.obj" "1.obj" "4.obj" "2.obj" "myrsrc.res" I'm using Microsoft SDKs 6.0 for building the proj link.exe version 8.00.50727.762 cl.exe version 14.00.50727.762 for 80x86 mt.exe version 5.2.3790.2075 Is order of compiling and linking matter is there any command line arg that I can specify that link or cl will auto picking up the right order Or better anyone know what's the real problem and how can I fix it.

    - CAnimateCtrl does not animate Hello! In my project on MFC I use the ADO library to get data from MSSQL. I want some dialog window to be displayed during long operation, such as executing any store procedure that download image from MSSQL. I try it in the following way: 1) Creating the modelles dialog with animate control 2) Executing the store procedure 3) Destroying the modelles dialog The fact is that CAnimateCtr in my modelles dialog doesn't animate in such operation. If I try to create such dialog in another way, for example, after button click, it animates OK.

    - How to show all build commands in Visual Studio (C++) output window? Hi. I am currently working on a project with about 60 build targets in a Visual Studio (.NET) solution. We've had a number of issues with developers changing build settings and/or adding targets without adhering to our build guidelines. To help ensure build consistency I would very much like to have *all* Visual C++ build commands shown in the build output (whether built within the IDE or from the command line for our official "cm" builds) -- specifically the commands sent to the compiler (cl) and linker (link). By default, VS hides this info, and I have yet to find a way to make it visible. I am much more concerned with properly [and consistently] built modules that a concise build log. Anyone know how to show all build information with VS .NET and VS 8 Many thanks! Ken Tag: Visual C++ General ATL-COM: Failed to return new Code Element... Visual C++

    - Calling unmanaged C++ dll function with char** from C# Hi, I'm calling an unmanaged C++ dll from C#, everything was fine until I got stuck in one of the methods that goes like this... C++ part void populateFieldCategories(char** categories) I have tried using something like this in C# to get the array of strings but doesn't work... private static extern void populateFieldCategories([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, ArraySubType = UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[][] categories) with an error like "There's no marshaling support for nested arrays" and I have also tried something like private static extern void populateFieldCategories([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, ArraySubType = UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string[] categories) but fails saying "Attempted to read or write protected memory" I don't know what else to try, if someone want to pass a char** from C++ how can you get the information in C# I don't even know if it's possible with PInvoke.

    - New Problem: --- fatal error C1083 I'm presuming this is a very nooby question, but ive tried googling for the answer and cant find it. I dont know where to find it in the help section of the program either. So here I go. I Am following this tutorial http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk / I am sorry if it is against the rules to post urls and Ive done everything [im pretty sure] correctly but the only part im struggling with is this As a final step, test your project by clicking the Start button in the IDE or by pressing F5. Your Win32 application should build and run. So I pressed F5, And then a window comes up saying 'This project is out of date: Project name - Debug Win32 Would you like to build it So I click yes. Then I get; Error Message 'There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build I tried no, nothing happens, so i clicked yes instead. Then i get another message saying Unable to start program c:\documents and settings\user.pickering\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\my project name\debug\myprojectname.exe The system cannot find the file specified. Now i've checked this folder and the myprojectname.exe is not there. So how do i get it there Im presuming that is the problem. to I have to compile/save it before i build it Because the tutorial didn't mention that. Help would be much appreciated. I might even include you in the credits for my project if you can help. Anyway, bye for now, hope to hear from you very soon, as I have to get this done soon! myprojectname.exe & My Project Name arent the real names, Im not allowed to say what it really is ;-) EDIT: Is it possible that I have done this wrong somehow; Step 3: Update the Visual C++ directories in the Projects and Solutions section in the Options dialog box.

    - How do Windows API file functions still have access to deleted files? I deleted some files (only data and text files, no dlls nor exes) from my application installed in the Program Files folder in Vista. I even removed the deleted files from recycle bin. But all file functions in Windows API, (e.g. GetFileAttributes, fopen, fread) still have full access to the deleted files. These deleted files can still be read normally as if they were not deleted at all. Under WIndows File Explorer, those deleted files have already gone and there is no way you can get these files from Windows Interface. I restarted the computer. It is still the same.

    - what is the best method for calculating change? I have change stored in a double, and I want to switch it to int to determine dollars and cents, and then break it down to bills, quarters, dimes, nickles, pennies etc.... Im not exactly sure how to go about this, right now I havent even started because im totally lost... but this is my code so far cout << "Please enter cash given: " ; cin >> dcashtaken; dchange = (dcashtaken - damountdue); if (dcashtaken < damountdue) { cout << "The change provided does not equal the amount due" << endl; cout << "Please re-enter the amount: " ; cin >> dchange; cout << "The Customers Change is " << (dchange - damountdue) << endl << endl; } else { cout << "The Customers Change is " << dchange << endl << endl; } so I basically want to start by changing the double... lets say the change is 500.90 to 500 dollars stored as an int, and 90 cents stored as an int... I tried using a static cast function.. but am not familiar enough with it to understand. any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

    - OleCreatePropertyFrame Bug? Hello, I'm having some problems with the OleCreatePropertyFrame function. I'm using this function to show the property page of my direct show filter. The page opens ok, and everything looks fine. The problem is when I close the program (in debug mode). Then I get an assertion that says that some of the com objects were not released. This is how I use "OleCreatePropertyFrame": Code Snippet OleCreatePropertyFrame( hWndParent, // Parent window 0, 0, // Reserved FilterInfo.achName, // Caption for the dialog box 1, // Number of objects (just the filter) &pFilterUnk, // Array of object pointers. caGUID.cElems, // Number of property pages caGUID.pElems, // Array of property page CLSIDs 0, // Locale identifier 0, NULL // Reserved ); In the property page's SetObjects method, I call AddRef on the IUnknown that I get (when I get 1 object) and when I get 0 objects I release it (as it is stated in the documentation of this method). The problem is that "OleCreatePropertyFrame" doesn't call the SetObjects method with 0 objects when the page closes as I expect, thus the objects don't get released. This is the code skelaton of the SetObjects method: Code Snippet if (cObjects == 1) { ... m_bObjectSet = true ; m_bIsInitialized = false ; m_pVETUnknown = *ppUnk; m_pVETUnknown->AddRef(); return S_OK; } else if (cObjects == 0) { m_bObjectSet = false ; if (m_pIVETConfig) { FreeVETConfig(m_pIVETConfig); m_pIVETConfig = NULL; } if (m_pVETUnknown) { m_pVETUnknown->Release(); m_pVETUnknown = NULL; } } I can release them in the dtor, or in the Deactivate method, but I don't know if this is the "right" way. Maybe I'm missing something that needs to be done so that "OleCreatePropertyFrame" will call SetObjects with 0 objects. Tag: Visual C++ General ATL-COM: Failed to return new Code Element...

    - program only breaks when not running with debugging I have an app that has some sort of memory problem going on where I get the following message sometimes: The instruction at 0x7c9111cd referenced memory at 0x0504da88. The memory could not be "read". The addresses change every time I get the message. I also get unhandled exception errors and sometimes the program just shuts down. I was thinking it had to do something with unmanaged memory that is mixed into my program, but I'm not sure how to track down that problem. But as my thread title says, the only time I get these errors is if I am running without debugging, which is making it very difficult to figure out what is going on.

    - createremotethread ive been messin around with threads and processes and stuff lately (i was just curious) and i found a function called createremotethread(), it is supposed to make a new thread in another process, but even when i set everything up right, the process i create the thread in "has an error and needed to close"... i checked the exit code and it had to do with access rights - does this mean that there is no way to make a thread in another process that would make createremotethread useless, so how do i get it to work do i need a certain privilege i guess it dosent matter that much because i was just messing around but now that i started i want it to work.... thanks in advance PS i assure you i am not making anything malicous, i just wanted to make something new and different Tag: Visual C++ General ATL-COM: Failed to return new Code Element...

I have a problem with VS2005 SP1 C++ project.

When trying to add new method to IDL interface of ATL project the following error is shown
Failed to return new Code Element. Possibly syntax error. New Element Name: abc
This worked previously on this machine. I could add new methods using wizard on other machine with the same VS but on some stage it stopped working too.
On one of the machines the method appears in class view after this error, so it cannot be added once again. Closing and reloading the project makes this method disappear.
Would be great to solve this, since the wizard saves a lot of dirty work here.
Thank you,

The problem is that I cannot reproduce this behaviour. New projects just work. My working project worked too and then just stopped.

No reproduction scenario- no bug. Sad

Is it a massive work to migrate your current project to another new created one I think it is not worth to go further on troubleshooting this problem if it is the only happens this time and the workaround is handy.

Migrating the work to a new project and copying all the code solves the problem.
But... after a while the same issue appears again.
