Environment developed: VC6 Win 2K] To create a view you normally follow the Microsoft’s Document template model. (i.e) Single document template or multi doc template. You can pass three runtime classes to the constructors: CSingleDocTemplate( UINT nIDResource, CRuntimeClass* pDocClass, CRuntimeClass* pFrameClass, CRuntimeClass* pViewClass ); OR CMultiDocTemplate( UINT nIDResource, CRuntimeClass* pDocClass, CRuntimeClass* pFrameClass, CRuntimeClass* pViewClass ); […]

Environment: Win32, C++ Recently I was working on a project to store binary data to a text file and read it again. The solution I thought to be simple and fast was to convert each byte into hexadecimal format and then again convert it to binary format. There are other methods such as Base64 encoding […]

Let’s explore some more interesting stuff behind the virtual function. To make things consistent with my previous article, I am going to take the same number sequence and start my discussion with Program 20. Take a look at the following Program Program 20 #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Base { public: virtual void fun() […]

Environment: VC++ 6.0, NT 4.0, Win95/98 Here is a code sample of OLE Automation. The project accepts two folders as Source PATH and Destination PATH.

Before you can be expected to get excited about patterns it will be helpful to tell you what they are and why you want to know about them. Patterns are named solutions or strategies to problems that have already been solved. Patterns have names and descriptions that describe how to implement a particular pattern, and […]
