looking for one to wrap your pointer

Is this harsh? I don't know this sentence. If yes, you are also one of them who took it bad. :) Any way people, I want to complete this. I have two reasons posting this.. 1. I have read many posts regarding univotes. People can give vote 1 without reading completely. This is one of them. 2. I recently read an article posted by 8 year old kid and really surprised. I wanted to see if there are many kids doing this great work.

okay.. I misread the context. Go ahead.

Oh I thought you are talking about this http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&select=3558512&tid=3558454[^]

not that. The one you are accusing me.

Did you read my thread completely?

had this problem for 2 years till she (my ex-colleague) left the company. Man, she solved all problems which I left out. Next question from manager: Why is that you cannot do?

Don't want to really feel them bad by saying that. But, it really burns somewhere.

You thoughts are very bad. If I see a kids article, I would really love and appreciate it. :-D

I cannot see how this would relate to the gender?

I am sorry, doesn't gender mean the person male or female? OK, I meant if the user is boy or girl.

This is not a cross post. I am trying to see if a user is male/female and their age. Is it possible? Why? If I see a good article from women and kids, I will say "Great, your article is so good, I appreciate it." [Edited] Not that women cannot write good articles. There are very good women programmers. I see them as special as it is very rare from my country. And for the kids who write articles, I feel they are simply great.

Not an immediate issue for me Chris. Just wanted to post the bug. I just started posting bugs.

Click here: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=135258#xx135258xx[^] click on prev or next. It goes to first page. Even clicking on prev number or next number does not work.

Yes, shows good with FF, and IE8 too but I can't move the scroll bar down. [modified] My screen resolution is 1024 x 768. May be not optimized for this.

Please ignore if already reported. Mouse over Articles | Chapters and Sections | Move over to the window that comes to the right. 1. Contents are shown outside the window. 2. The window gets closed before clicking some link. I am using IE7

How can I see active older threads? I have posted a question some days back in C++/ MFC discussion board and I have updated my question again with new reply. Is there any chance that viewers can see newly posted messages in thread easily?. I think there should be active older threads option in Date filter.

The following code

if(a)
{
}
else if (b)
{
}
else if(c)
{
}

is nothing but

if(a)
{
}
else 
{
	if (b)
	{
	}
	**else // how deep this can go? 128? not sure.**
	{
		if(c)
		{
		}
	}
}

else, you can also do like this. Will this solve your problem?

if(a)
{
	if(flag)
	{
		// do work
	}
	else
	{
		// do work
	}
}

if(b)
{
}

if(c)
{
}

Hi Ash, I appreciate your interest in helping me. I am still finding a hard time to solve this. May be I am not smart enough to design this properly. I went through the pattern. Even with this active object, if I have to make synchronous calls, the client must be blocked till the message is received. Or may take time some where in client also. Consider this: (simplified for reading) When I start an operation, My application performs following.. 1. Connect to server (may take 2 secs) 2. Create a GUI for showing some data (milli secs) 2. Get data (RMI) (40 secs) 3. Update GUI (milli secs) 5. Based on the above data start creating next GUI. 6. Create next GUI. 6. Get modified data for second GUI. (RMI) (4 mins!) 7. Update second GUI Till now these are sequential in my application. User can always create n number of GUIs. Each GUI creation and updation may require n RMI calls and they are synchrounous. Meaning, each RMI call is blocked till it is received and the marshalling args are huge. I may also get MBs of data. Example: Consider following call stack. DataIDL::GetData() // Use proxy to get data. Blocked till the data is fetched. Glyph::GetData() // After glpyh creation GlyphsHandler::Execute() // Creates Glyph get data and Update Glyph Doc::Execute() // Execution start of all Glyphs Doc starts Execution. Glyphshandler creates glyphs, gets data and updates glyph. It goes on for all glyphs. Now as it all sequential, I cannot decouple each IDL call to threads as the next call depends upon previous call's data. Hope I am not taking too much of your time. Is it possible to asynchronously decouple the IDL getdata using active object so that the next call will have no effect? Many thanks for your advices till now. Murali Krishna

->Whether this method of using uninitialized pointer is acceptable in any condition?

It is acceptable as long as you are careful, as you promised absolutely no data members. With this condition, you initialize or don't initialize or simply call using 0 (zero) pointer, it is acceptable.

It is same for all platforms.

One more promise: don't delete the pObj.

Don't do like this. You never know when you are going to add member variables and access them.

My bad, I misread it. it is known uses. (not issues) :)

Ash, Thanks for your quick reply. I am looking at the pdf and trying to understand. I think it will take a day or two. BTW, I forgot to mention. My application uses CORBA synchronous RMI calls. I took a quick look of the pdf and saw some know issues.. didn't read completly. Thanks, Murali Krishna
