I have a question about Visual C++ 2008 Express. My project files were generated by cmake. When I go to Build -> Build Solution everything builds nicely. But since I do most of the editing in gvim anyway, I'd rather build my project from the command line instead of having Visual C++ open just to press F7. Is there an easy way to see how Visual C++ is doing the building so that I can do the same in the command line?

(Or use msbuild, which is the preferred way of building now, but I'm not sure if that was available in 2008.)

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I'll try to ask this question I crammed into the end of an earlier post again: does anybody here understand FLTK layout and how resizing affects components? I see something about a resizable bit that affects thing, but that only one component in a group can do it. So how does one cause, say, two text fields to both resize when a window is made larger? Does each field need a group to itself? Well, according to the first google hit for "fltk resize": Marc R.J. Brevoort posted:- to make things more predictable, it helps to fill groups with In short, the expectation is that your layout will consist of nested horizontal and vertical groups of widgets, each one with one widget marked resizeable. If you widen a group (increasing the width of a vertical group or the height of a horizontal one), all of the widgets in it will expand along that axis; if you lengthen it (increasing the width of a horizontal group or the height of a vertical one), only the resizeable widget will expand. code:

Avenging Dentist posted:You probably want exec(). Also holy god I think you are entering new, unexplored worlds of security vulnerabilities. Anyway, exec didn't work either; the $output variable is completely empty upon return of exec(). The script is just printing out to the console, is this what I want? edit: for the record, shell_exec behaves similarly. That's why I'm wondering if I'm understanding something incorrectly. edit 2: Okay, so it seems like because the script takes a while to execute (~10-15 seconds maybe) the output isn't displaying. I wrote a little test script that just prints out a single line and exec() caught it. I assume this means that the browser is timing out. Do I have any options?

chocojosh posted:In my .NET programs I've been increasingly using "helpers" to handle part of the code that goes into code behind. For example, our WPF application supports a "flick", such as that you find in the iPhone. To do a "flick" requires some code on mouse down, mose mouve, mouse up. Instead of storing that code inside the control itself, I create a "FlickHelper". I agree that this sort of approach seems nice and elegant. I started out with more of a C++ approach but since C# doesn't support multiple inheritance using mix-in classes doesn't work. Once I wrapped my head around DependencyProperties my life became much easier.

I'm really getting fustrated, I can't even get Eric4 to install properly. So at the moment I've: Downloaded: Eric4 Python2.6.5 PyQT QScintilla QT Installed: Python2.6.5 QT And the Readme file says: quote:Installing eric4 is a simple process. Just execute the install.py script Well, they never defined where exactly to run that. The install.py file when opened flashes a Command prompt on the desktop for a split second, opening and closing it but doing nothing. Going into Python2.6.5 and typing in "Python Install.py" gives me a incorrect Syntax or a "name 'Install' is not defined" error. I have no clue how to install this.

Little GUI question: What would you call a divider that is, say, between two vertically stacked text boxes such that when you click and drag on it, you can make one of the text boxes larger by taking space from the other? I'm trying to figure out how FLTK might manage that but I've realized I don't even know what to call that. Preferably when clicked upon the icon changes to reflect how things get reoriented--in this case a vertical line with arrows on either end.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or the C thread, but I'm having trouble with some fork() concepts. Specifically, I'm supposed to read input performing a blocking read operation. I know that means I have to wait() or waitpid() for the child process, and that part is working. However, I'm pretty sure that the point of that instruction isn't to then keep the child open for parsing that input since that should be the parent's job. The only way I can think of is to store the input in the environment variables or something so the parent can read it but that seems like such a hack. Am I missing something big here?

You aren't communicating your question in any comprehensible manner. Also, you can't communicate between existing processes by having them set their own environment variables.

shrughes posted:Yes. You aren't communicating your question in any comprehensible manner. Also, you can't communicate between existing processes by having them set their own environment variables. Ok, let me try again. Is there an easy way that I am missing for parent and child processes to talk to each other other than IPC (which we haven't gotten to yet)? If I have a parent wait() for a child to finish reading input and return, it seems pointless because the parent doesn't have access to the child's input. I'd have to use that initial fork and have the child run the rest of the program, including more forks, only returning to the parent to free memory and exit. This seems like I'm overcomplicating things. Also, re: the environment variables, you're saying that the child gets its own copy of the parent's shell environment variables as well? rt4 posted:Could you open a pipe? Yeah, see above. We're going to be covering IPC stuff soon, but the fact that we haven't yet suggests that it isn't necessary to fix my current problem.

Without any IPC, basically the only thing you can do is have the child process return an error code (main()'s return value, or exit()'s parameter).

You could have the child process write to a file before exiting, or allocate and touch a large amount of memory (so the parent process can inspect its behavior through /proc or something?) or max out the user's filehandle limit or some other system resource's limit and then release it, in some morse-code-like manner, or wait until the number of seconds on the system clock is even (or odd) before exiting, or send a signal, or open a TCP socket while the parent waits on a port, or play a loud sound to the speakers while the parent process reads from the microphone, or allocate a bunch of memory, and then write to it, and then release it, and then let the parent process allocate a bunch of memory, and hopefully some of the uninitialized memory will contain the child process's message (or does the OS zero out the memory? I don't know), or it could take an open file descriptor and use lseek to move the file pointer around.

We're supposed to draw a Hermite spline, but I'm terribly confused. This has helped me a lot (http://www.cubic.org/docs/hermite.htm) but still leaves a lot of gaps. 1.) The four parameters are defined by the user (startpoint, endpoint, starting point tangent, ending point tangent). But how does one find the tangent of a set of points? 2.) What is "s"? It says "Vector S: The interpolation-point and it's powers up to 3:" but that doesn't mean anything to me because at no point is a numerical value assigned to it, nor does it explain how it could be. It also defines it as code:3.) Another thing that's really confusing is the way it deals with points as vectors. code:This is just so confusing to me and no matter how much time I spend looking up information, I don't learn anything because so many crucial gaps are unfilled. All I want to do is draw a drat Hermite curve.  This is something I could probably understand in like 5 minutes if I had a proper and full explanation.  e: I just realized this is probably better suited to the graphics thread and have posted it there as well.

OK, not exactly Programming per se, but I saw some MS Access questions in the main forum so maybe this will be acceptable.. I'm working in Excel and trying get some cell formats to display what I want them to... OK, basically, I am trying to get the cell to evaluate the contents of the cell and then display the number and one of three suffixes depending on the decimal place. IE, 1 would be displayed as "1 GP" .1 would be displayed as "1 SP" .01 would be displayed as "1 CP" Right now I've got it displaying the appropriate suffix but can't get it to pass the number without the decimal and 0s. This is what I'm using: code:yes, this is for DnD

fankey posted:Do you mean using attached DependencyProperties to modify behavior instead of deriving a new class? I haven't seen a formalized term for this approach but most of the examples I've see use *Helper - and since that's what Bea Stollnitz calls them that's what I do as well. Not exactly. We use DependencyProjects for our UserControls, but I haven't fully wrapped my head around the details and haven't even really looked into Attached Properties. WPF is huge and it feels like every month for the past six I've been learning new parts of it. A helper is simply a separate class to handle the details of codebehind code. Our main window (different developer) got to 3000 lines of code, with several parts having duplicate code. In my own app I didn't want this to happen, so I started making separate classes to handle any codebehind logic that was more than 50 lines, or that uses member variables (I hate seeing a member variable that only applies to two functions out of 30!). chocojosh fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Apr 26, 2010 |
