| | I'm currently learning C++ in college. For now it's very basic stuff (cout, cin, if, switch, voids, etc). But I'm also abit of a "must look neat" freak for certain things. One of which is that I don't like the text on the program being aligned to the right.
For example, I currently have something like this:
QUOTE Welcome! Please enter your first name. __
And what's your second name? __
But I want it to be like this:
QUOTE Welcome! Please enter your first name. __
And what's your second name? __
My question is simply: how would I do it? |

Hmm... That would depend on how wide your window screen is - as in how many characters it will allow per line. I refer you to this page. The code on the page assumes that you use a standard 80 character wide line. If you want to use a different one (for whatever reason) just change the '80' value in the code and you'll be fine. Isn't it fun when you don't have to reinvent the wheel? Do tell if you have any problems.

Hahaha, thanks  One quick question (I could probably work it out, but i'm lazy  )...Where would I put that? I mean, would I need it just the once or would I have to put it in each time? (I doubt the latter, but I'm a noob to C++  )

you can just use: QUOTE #include <conio.h> #include <IOSTREAM.h> #include <bool.h> #include <apstring.h> #include <apstring.cpp>
void main() { clrscr(); gotoxy(22,1); cout<<"Welcome! Please enter your first name."; gotoxy(35,2); apstring n1; cin>>n1; gotoxy(27,4); cout<<"And whats your second name?"; gotoxy(35,5); apstring n2; cin>>n2; clrscr(); gotoxy(35,1); cout<<n1<<" "<<n2; getch(); }
sample program attached...

Lol. Basically you define it once and call it over and over again. take that example code from that site again. The function's centerstring right? You'd put the definition of the function anywhere [even outside int main()] -which is the code on the site- (even in a header file if you think you'll use it often enough) and call it whenever you wanted to, e.g. code...centerstring(something);...code. Nice code Tsunami, though I actually prefer just using strlen() and a bunch of manual stuff instead of adding (more like using) apstring.

Thanks to both of you for the code I like the code Tsunami, but it might make the code waay to long  Thanks though  Osknockout, I think I get it  I know the call function bit, but would I put in the "centerstring( [something])" bit? Would it be how many character there are? Sorry for my noobness  But thanks again for the help

QUOTE Osknockout, I think I get it... but would I put in the "centerstring([something]) What type of noob asks and then says I know? Improper groveling I say... If you look at the function again, you can tell that strlen() already computes the number of characters in your string for you. Actually, that would be your char pointer there Dagoth Nereviar, place your char or char array variable or whatever with characters you want to manipulate in that something.

Run A Program From Another One

I have written two programs. Lets call them MAIN and SMALL . Program SMALL is supposed to eventually

could. Both programs use identical variables and I wrote it this way intending to cut and paste the
code into the main one but if I can do this without cutting and pasting 150 KB worth of source code
then I'd like to learn how. I'm coding in C++ and am using functions...

Program Flow
- dialog problem (2)
Hi, i have a quick question. I have a program that does alot of calculations near its completion.
To indicate to the user that it is still working so they dont close it I have a dialog box with a
progress bar pop up. when the dialog comes up, the regular execution of the original program stops
until I close the dialog, so I was wondering if there is a way to tell the origianl program to keep
running while the dialog is open(since the original program would be updating the progress metre).
p.s. using MFC(not by choice) Thanks alot!...
