Hello, I have a question, when does a global variable get destructed?

ex.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class simple {
public:
int *i;
simple(int ni){
i =...

Well, now I feel dumb... I forgot the SDL_EnableUNICODE call... thanks

Thanks for the reply, I'll check that out in a little bit, and post results.

Hello all, I'm trying to make a simple text box with SDL, I have loosely based it off of The Lazy Foo Tutorial on sting input (http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson23/index.php), but this code...

I have the eclipse for Java developers, and I have the MinGW that's distributed with Dev-C++. I just want to know what downloads need to get from the update manager of eclipse, I also don't know how...

ok, i'll look into that, i was hoping that OpenGL, GLU, or GLUT would have something for it, it might, but i doubt it

OK, i recently got a few books on OpenGL, i also got Microsoft flight sim x, and a nice logitech joystick to use with it. so i want to try to figure out how to make OpenGL take input from the...

Thats a very weird error. Thanks

trying to use the code from an online book to learn OpenGL. i'm using Dev-C++, because i can't find a good way to get GLUT into VS 2008 PRO without muckin about in C:\windows\system32 which i try to...

thanks for the help, kinda forgot about this thread for a while, solved!

ok, thanks for the advice

i thought that
CRect *dims = new CRect;
pDC->GetClipBox(dims);
in order for GetClipBox to change it it had to be a pointer, could i have just passed &dims? i messed around a lot with it until it...

oh, ok, i'll fix that

oh, that worked, what exactly does it mean though?

it's not doing anything, i am probably missing something, here's the relevant parts of the code:
void CALLBACK EXPORT TimerProc( HWND hWnd, UINT nMsg, UINT_PTR nIDEvent, DWORD dwTime );
...

that seems perfect, but i need to figure out how to call RedrawWindow() from inside the non-member callback, how can i take the HWND and make it into something that i can call the view's function...

hello,

google, daniweb, and microsoft searches didn't help me with this so i hope that someone here will know.

i'm trying to have a method called at a fixed interval of time from the time an...

ok, i will try that. what will the boolean tell, if it worked or not, if so how would that show the error?

EDIT: i overrided the method you recommended and it worked, thanks

ok, i made an attempt to add a button to the CView. but it isn't working, no errors, just not showing up. i think i am passing something incorrectly, or i'm trying to do this in the wrong place....

ok, and got a link to how to change it at runtime?

thanka, the same for a listbox? oh, that brings another question, can list box contents be changed during runtime?

I am using Visual Studio 2008, and i am working with a single document application, it is CView Based, and i want to know how i can in addition to the view, that i will be drawing on, how i can add...

yes but i am not dynamically allocating the array i can't find much on valarray

thanks again for the info.

@VernonDozier that is what i needed thanks

@ArkM i'm not worried about speed at the moment, i don't want to use normal arrays because i would have to declare a set...

thanks for the advice.

@VernonDozier i don't want to dynamically allocate the space with new.

@Alex thanks, i probably wouldn't have figured out the probable error message for a while.

so,...

I am working on a Matrix class that will eventually do a lot of stuff, but early on I have already hit a snag, how do I initialize (in a constructor) the 2D vector I have declared.
//matrix class...

again thanks for the link. is there a way to get a bitmap that represents what is currently on a panel, or picturebox, which can be altered?

as for compilers, i don't know. maybe you should post a new topic about that.

thanks for the link again.

i didn't get a DVD, i downloaded an iso file and had to burn it myself. using it just installed it. would that be the DVD i would look for samples in, wouldn't they be...

i got Pro, from dreamspark (https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com/) through Stony Brook for free. yay :)

so how does it work?

thanks for the links.

i saw somewhere someone was using a class called CDC to draw, but they didn't explain it at all, what is it?

ok, i really want to know how i can take a form and draw on it, or a component of it, with single pixels

i know i will loose portability, and it is not my concern. Microsoft Visual C++ is the win32 API, correct?

i thought VC++ was only for windows, is that incorrect?

thanks, i'm doing it because of speed issues with java.

i spent a lot of time on this project, an i will spend just as much time converting it (i hope that's a lie).

I did some quick searches of google and daniweb, but i cannot find anything on how i can do this.
instead of a long and probably misunderstood explanation i have this:...

you almost certainly not find any examples that specific. your best chance is to learn everything that you can about C++ and DirectX so that you can start form scratch.

you are right, they won't be aquarium specific, but if you learn how to do everything in the books you should be able to write your own code for your specific application.

you would need a...

i haven't read any of them, but i am sure that books will have sample code, most books that have code the code can be downloaded instead of hand typed
Amazon search for DirectX...

i doubt that there is any code specific for aquariums, or any books on it. there are undoubtedly books on DirectX, and some on AI which, with fish AI shouldn't be too hard, unless you intend to allow...

thanks that worked
