string filename; }
although not true on windows
cause they use C

My issue is I would have to rewrite the code or make a new class for each dialog box if I were to do it that way

Exceptions to the rescue!

PhyloGenesis, yes you would
PhyloGenesis, i don’t see the problem

as opposed to simply specifying what type of controls, positions of them, etc

PhyloGenesis, in C++, you would create something like Dialog {} then use dialog.run(), and afterwards dialog.getFilename() if nesseccarry

Again, thinking unidimensionally. It’s possible to setup a small kind of framework with a generic dialog proc that you can supply for all similar dialogs.
It would take minimal amount of effort to code the above.

PhyloGenesis, your problem is really only for a non-object oriented API

That’s exactly what I want (I am having trouble understanding how to apply what you said)
concerning LPCREATEPARAMS
and WndProc type functions

ughh i’ve never programmed MFC and i hope i never will

is there any other use for MFC?

This has nothing to do with MFC, MFC just happens to work with dialog boxes, as does wxwidgets

I was being ironic

I haven’t had a chance to look at that page I was given though

PhyloGenesis, i’ve used wxWidgets

I need to, I’ll be back in a minute

my point is this does not have much to do with C++

MFC Vs .NET

*shudder*

PhyloGenesis, the api hosting is bloated and confusing at times but it does its job

frame work
i hate VS2003 2003, so slow

wxWidgets is bloat; the underlying API is fine – badly designed, but bloat is not the issue.

as the compile time

that is not my complaint with wx

you know

hi guys

the GOP would be cool if it weren’t overrun by drug warriors

From what i hear wx is going to make a 3.0.0 release with siginifigant API changes

what did you hear

if you follow any c++ coding standards, what coding standards you guys would suggest?

I would like to hear that.

Keep It Simple, Stupid. This is the most useful programming idiom.

Always use setjmp() and longjmp(), even when you don’t have to.

hahaha

~goto~

yes, goto
prefer goto to if, while, do, for

I only write C++0x

main()

c++ doesn’t have conditional goto, so you will have to combine if and goto in obscure ways to get the desired result

heck… prefer goto to the sequence control structure. statement1; goto label; ; label: statement2;

the more obscure, the better

blah? goto heaven : goto hell;

why use goto, please don’t

actually, when i do parsing i can’t resist to use goto

(we’re joking)
(I hope)

If you mean conventions, do what the standard library does. That’s a good rule for most any language.

You may be joking…

yeah i mean conventions

but there are young minds to corrupt!

how do you break out of nested loops w/o goto?

Think of the children!

I just read this http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html … and it made my head heart

thx bhr

I think children are sexy cosplayers.

CoffeeBuzz, bool nestedBreak = false; set to true, test in the nested loop

put it in a function and return

genixpro, 2 extra tests vs. 1 goto?
bah

is there a channel for wxwidgets?

nonsense

thats how you do it
never said you have to

That makes me want to learn Treelang.

yes, ##gaybuttsex

PhyloGenesis, #wxwidgets

PhyloGenesis, no.

!grab Schroeder2

By your command.

did you think of even trying

!lart Schroeder2

lmao, I did

you tried ##gaybuttsex?

Don’t show him the channel!

I thought the same of genixpro when he said #wxwidgets

you guys work to hard to avoid gotos. they have their place.

I thought “that’s an empty channel”, then I realized I used ##, not #

its ok to try new things, just be careful
