I havent heard of Turbo Explorer. Is it good? I mean can we use the graphics functions in it?

I am sorry as I by mistake posted the same thing twice!

When you use BGI functions like setcolor(), circle(), line(); under borland C++ Win API it does not accept.

I have tried it many times.
The error message is as follows
BGI not supported under...

The Fork Command has been extensively discussed before in this forum, Please search for that post.

The ofstream class is used to open a file. While opening a file we generally provide only the name of the file, so the program searches for that name in the same folder.

You can also provide the...

Yeah I agree with vijayan. File pointers like seekg(),tellg() work correctly only with Binary Files where the read() and write() functions are used.

I can help you. I have been using Turbo C++ and Borland C++ for the past 2 years.

However please note that you cannot use Turbo C++ to output any sort of graphics as BGI graphics is not supported...

but the thing is it edits reads only strings... I want to read a value which has binary values.... How do I do that?

I got the following source from the internet... but I don't know how to manipulate it for my convience


#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

int main () {

HKEY hKey; // Declare a...

I want to create a C++ Program to edit the Windows Registry. For example to change the home page of internet explorer. But I don't know how to read or edit the help.

thanks for the help..

got it... Windows XP

But is it possible to run a C++ program in the background????

I want it to be a DOS based program. I have borland C++ the windows based.

I am making this program which checks if your floppy drive is ready or not. And so it has to check for say 20 seconds. And for this I want the program to run in the background. How do I do this?

I...

U could choose whatever you want

Maybe you could do a game or any database program.
For example a airway reservation program

Can anyone give me the syntax, please?
Thanx in advance

wow, there's so much I have to learn in C++!

I think it is better you do this


struct getname
{
char name[25];
};

int main()
{

The code you wrote just opens the file if it is available but does not create a new one.

Use this to create a new text file

#include<iostream.h>
#include<fstream.h>

int main()
{
...

INT 16,1 - Get Keyboard Status
INT 16,2 - Read Keyboard Flags

Could you give me the syntax to use them? Is it something like this

int16(2,&in,&out);
I don't know much about assembly language.

INT 5 - Print Screen
Does this do something like screen capture?
Because since my program is DOS based program none of the screen capture programs seem to work. And I need to show screen shots of...

I went to a site where it mentioned a similar code.


#include<iostream.h>
#include<graphics.h>
union REGS in,out;

void mousecall()
{
in.x.ax = 1;

Game Programming is EASY. Introducing Graphics and mouse support is also simple.
Check out <snipped> for tutorials based on this topic

The link also mentioned something about displaying images. But it didn't explain it well.

I downloaded the file from the site but the code didn't mention anything related to that.

Could you...

Very useful site you mentioned above. Actually I also did a search and got a similar tutorial. It works beautifully. But I haven't yet tried with a USB mouse.

Thanks for the link

OS - Windows
Compiler - Turbo C++

for a PS2 and a USB mouse.

How do you introduce mouse in c++ program?

When I use the header file #include<unistd.h>
It says the compiler cannot read the file.

I tried compiling it in DEV C++ it gave me a error message that fork() was not initialized.

I have finished my chess program. I defined some rules but couldn't code in all the rules.

bench don't bother, I am an idiot . .. misunderstood things...

I asked my friends they said that
board[64][4] would work.

there would 64 boxes in the board and each would store a string of 3 characters.

Sorry, I thought he was ridiculing salem that's it.

I read that forks can used to call another executable. Suppose I have two programs prog1 and prog2.

Suppose prog1 has the fork code and calls prog2, once prog2 is over will the control return to...

did anyone ask you bench?

So as a beginner in my C++ programming can I use them to split two process one for writing data into a file and another to read another file?

yeah but the thing is everywhere I had used a char variable, so it would be difficult changing them all. Anyway I got an idea. I will copy the contents of the char to a string.

And then output it.

How do you output a character in graphics mode?

I mean outtextxy(); outptuts only strings. Is there a function to output a single character?

Could you explain forks to me?
