using CMap

You'll need to iterate through all keys and check if each key's value matches the
CWnd*you're searching for. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.comBut that only works if each CWnd is only in there once. And it's damn ugly. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Sorry, I meant a bi-directional map, not a multi-map. :-O /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

I have used
mapandmultimap, and read about but never usedhash_mapandhash_multimap. What exactly do you mean by a bi-directional map? I always thought bi-directional containers were containers that had both forward and reverse iterators, but that definition does not seem to be what is being discussed here. What I think you mean is a map where both the key and value are unique, and has afind()member that can find either the key or the value. Is there such a beast? If so what is it called and where can I get it? Currently I am just using amapfor this functionality, I check to make sure the value is unique before I add a new value to the map, and I sequentially iterate the map, comparing values, until I find the keyvalue I am looking for. If there is a better implementation out there I would be interested in learning about it.

I have declared the following in my application. "CMap < CString,LPCSTR,CWnd*,CWnd* > m_map" I have a windows explorer like setup. When i click a node in the tree i need to display an MDI Window. So i have mapped the node item's text (LPCSTR) to that of the window pointer .So when i click a node i use CMap to get the window pointer and display the window. Now when i alternatively click the windows i get the window pointer and i want to correspondingly shift the focus on the tree items. So my question is how do i look up the key ( i.e LPCSTR) when i have the value (i.e.. CWnd*). . laiju
a tought ... if the strings are unique, make a map that points to ( a pointer to ) a structure containing a CWnd and a HTREEITEM when you create the CWnd, attach the structure to the CWnd ( as a member of the class ) when you create the Tree Item, attach the structure to the Item ( CTreeCtrl::SetItemData ) when you click on the window, you can find exactly which item to highlight; and when you click on the tree item you have the pointer to the CWnd.

A hashmap of pairs, with uniqueness enforced on values is what comes to mind. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

Thanks Ravi. I thought you were refering to an already existing implementation that I did not know about. I guess I have to stick to my home-brewed hack.

An off-the-sheld bidirectional map is provided here[^]; unfortunately, it doesn't work with MSVC 7.1. For a more comprehensive solution, allow me to suggest you take a look at the Boost Multi-index Containers Library[^], which enables the construction of bidirectional maps and more.

Thanks Joaquín, your CP article looks interesting. I will DL the code and play with it to see if it fits my needs:)
