CArray woes
-
haa ok i said thks for your suggestion.gave me quite some insight really.But i still dunno how to create a function to return the array in some way so that other classes may access it.u have any suggestion on that?
There are several solutions: * You may add public member functions to your document to manipulate the array from the outside of the document object * You may directly "lend" the array to other classes like this:
CSRawDataArray &CMyDocument::GetArray() { return m_myDataArray; }Beware that this method returns a reference on the array, i.e. the "real" object, not a copy.void COtherClass::AddData(CMyDocument *pDoc, CSRawDataArray *pData) { CSRawDataArray &myArray = pDoc->GetArray(); myArray.Add(pData); }HTH, K.

I have read all your tutorials about STL, and they are all great :) But I think that they cover only the basics (but they to that very well), and I'd like to go more into detail and get to know all the facets of STL. Thanks for the SGI link, seems to be exactly what I was looking for :) best regards Greg
I see - I thought you were saying the opposite, that you needed something easier to understand. Yes, the SGI site is an excellent place to take it further. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002 -

Hi..i've tried the following but it's still not working.Do you know wat i shld do? ------------------------------------------------------------------- typedef CArray CSRawDataArray;//outside class declaration //in doc header CSRawDataArray m_array1; CSRawDataArray& GetRawDataArray() const; //in doc source file //doing 2 things here.(1)load data into array from text file (2)define get function void CRainAttDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar) { CString strOneLine; while(ar.ReadString(strOneLine)) { SRawData *pData = new SRawData; sscanf(strOneLine,"%g%g\n",pData->x,pData->y); m_array1.Add(pData); } } CSRawDataArray &CRainAttDoc::GetRawDataArray() const { return m_array1; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- This gives me the following error: error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'const class CArray' to 'class CArray &' When i try to change the object declaration to this: const CSRawDataArray m_array1; error C2440 remains and on top of that, the following message for RemoveAll() and Add() 'RemoveAll' : cannot convert 'this' pointer from 'const class CArray' to 'class CArray &' I was trying to declare the function const so that other classes cant alter the value as suggested by Roman Fadeyev but it just cant work.I'm pulling my hair out!..haa thks alot for your help.

I don't understand why you're using the keyword "const". Have you tried without it ? If you want to be sure the others classes don't mess up with the array, you may declare it as protected in your document class and add public methods (to your document class), to be sure it's the only class which will manipulate directly the array.

oh yah you are right, i totally forgot i can declare it as protected. yes, it can be compiled now.however when trying to open the text file after executing the program, the serialize() function fails and returns a what appear to be an assertion failure.
I suppose your Serialize method is like
void CRainAttDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar) { CString strOneLine; while(ar.ReadString(strOneLine)) { SRawData *pData = new SRawData; sscanf(strOneLine,"%g%g\n",pData->x,pData->y); m_array1.Add(pData); } }First of all, you should test if you are writing or reading, using ar.IsStoring() (Serialization works both way). Also instead using a "while" statement, I would suggest you to write explicitly at the beginning of the archive the number of items to read It would look like thisvoid CRainAttDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar) { if(ar.IsStoring()){ // writing the data int iSize = m_array1.GetSize(); ar << iSize; for(int i = 0; i w iSize; i++){ // write each element here in the archive ... } }else{ // reading the data m_array1.RemoveAll(); int iSize; ar >> iSize; m_Array1.SetSize(iSize); for(int i = 0; i < iSize; i++){ // read one element here and add it to the array ... } } }I'm not absolutly sure of the syntax, I write it from memory :) HTH, K.

Thks alot. To read each element and add it to the array, can i use the code below? SRawData *pData = new SRawData; sscanf(strOneLine,"%g%g\n",pData->x,pData->y); m_array1.Add(pData);
Why not using directly the archive ? When loading: SRawData *pData = new SRawData; ar >> pData->x; ar >> pData->y; m_array1.Add(pData); When writing: SRawData *pData = m_array1.GetAt(i); ar << pData->x; ar << pData->y; HTH, K.

Because i'm not familiar with CArchive and have never tried using them before ;P ..Anyway i've tried the following.I think this has the right syntax,i've checked my books.However, it returns a "Failed to open document" dialog so i wrote the try-catch exception handling. And it turns out that SetSize()is indeed creating problem. And the "Testing" Message Box appears a number of times before "Unexpected file format" is displayed.The document i was opening is a text file with 14 rows, 2 columns of values. if(ar.IsStoring()) { // writing the data int iSize = m_array1.GetSize(); ar << iSize; for(int i = 0; i < iSize; i++) { SRawData *pData = m_array1.GetAt(i); ar << pData->x; ar << pData->y; } } else { m_array1.RemoveAll(); int iSize=13; ar >> iSize; try{ m_array1.SetSize(iSize); } catch(CMemoryException *e) { AfxMessageBox("Cant set size"); e->Delete(); } for (int i = 0; i < iSize; i++) { AfxMessageBox("Testing"); SRawData *pData = new SRawData; ar >> pData->x; ar >> pData->y; m_array1.Add(pData); } } any idea wat is wrong now?Really appreciate your patience;)
