I am not surprised. Although I have never experienced that myself. One time I did have access to another companies internal code (with NDA of course), to help me develop a means of communicating with it. Their code was actually very well written. I did a code review and found a few bugs that they were unaware of. Their lead engineer was surprise and happy that I found them and thanked me publicly via their company email w/CC's. It is always nice to get credit from strangers that you have never actually met.

Yes, I will be happy to share with you the experience of cooperation with one such company. Our small firm has remained incredibly pleased and proud to work with such professionals in their field as Eternity Law International. What did we need? We needed comprehensive support for a new IT project. And someone from our acquaintances recommended this company to us. What can I say about the result? Everything was done in the best possible way and in record time. All our wishes were heard, as well as the guidelines of the company.

I'd only just spotted it as well!

One logical, if unlikely, hypothesis might be that the position of the first character is calculated based on the underlying bounding box of the character which may include a built-in left-margin factor. To exclude this hypothesis, which I'd guess you may have already done, I'd vary the first character from lower to upper case, and compare a "naturally wide" "W" with a "naturally narrow "I." If they are both drawn at identical distances from the left edge of the Button at the Alignment settings you describe: that's one less hypothesis :) A more probable hypothesis (?): the fact you are using the Paint Event and DrawString means you are relying on an internal drawing area that is offset from the absolute pixel edges of the Button: since I never use Paint and DrawString, I don't know how you could test this hypothesis, but I am sure someone else reading this post will. best, Bill "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

If an error occurs before the number of elements requested is read then both eofbit and failbit are set. This is done whether you reach the end of file or not, because all the read method knows is the number of elements read and is therefore guessing. // The standard read pattern amountRead = rdbuf()->sgetn(pElements, amountRequested); GCount += amountRead; if( amountRead != amountRequested ) State |= eofbit | failbit; // Read error. Hmm! We must be at EOF (Good Guess, but not always true) // In: vc6 STL - istream standard header _St |= eofbit | failbit; // In: .Net 2003 STL State |= ios_base::eofbit | ios_base::failbit; // short read // In: GNU ISO C++ Library __err |= (ios_base::eofbit | ios_base::failbit); I do know it terminated because of a read error, but since we can not know how many characters the encoded source data represents, we can not avoid the error. Therefore we do not know if it is an attempt to read the EOF or an encoding error.

I'm sure this is teaching grandma to suck eggs, but the only thing I'd suggest is to encapsulate that in another function, so you only need to do it once, i.e: template<class Facet> std::locale AddFacet(std::locale const& l, const Facet* f) { #ifdef _ADDFAC // Dinkumware macro return std::_ADDFAC(std::locale::classic(), new my_codecvt); #else return std::locale(std::locale::classic(), new my_codecvt); #endif } Alternatively, use this: #ifndef _ADDFAC // Dinkumware macro #define _ADDFAC (std::locale) #endif and use _ADDFAC for all platforms.

I need to dig up a copy of the standard to see if this is compliant and makes since, because having template parameters that can only be of a single integral type is illogical. I think there are two pertinent ideas here - firstly, files are streams of bytes (that's the basic concept underlying file streams in C++), which is why they always convert to/from bytes. Secondly, codecvt facets can be used on their own, without streams. So, say you'd read in a file converting from a byte stream to (say) UCS-2. Then you want to write the UTF-32 equivalent to a file. You could use a codecvt facet that could convert from UCS-2 to UTF-32. The example code in the codecvt::in documentation on MSDN[^] shows this sort of scenario.

I'm not sure if that's better or worse than what I did. I installed a new CPU and motherboard (from Pentium 4 to Core 2 Quad) and performed a repair install. The system runs slow, often pops up "do you want to debug?" messages, and I don't seem to have a network driver. I don't even see the (built-in gigabit) network adapter in Device Mangler, even though I have it enabled in the BIOS. Plus I don't have an appropriate resolution listed for my wide monitor. I've emailed the motherboard manufacturer (ECS), but have gotten no response yet. Currently using my wife's (Vista X| ) laptop. Update, even though I doubt anyone cares: I downloaded the drivers and installed them, the network and video not work properly. I ran through a bunch of Windows Updates and things are much better. But I still get the "do you want to debug?" messages, particularly when I start Windows Explorer. modified on Friday, January 9, 2009 1:46 AM
