Part #3 ..last of help for programming.

[[N]auTiCa]

OK.. heres the last installment and I have two days to crank this one out! Looks like I won't be sleeping much the next two days considering I work 8hrs a day.

description of whats needed

Code: [Select]

I am to add a viewer for notes.
Implement an overview dialog for the current notes in the system just how the Recycle Bin window/menu is.
The preview dialog is to display entries associated with all currently present notes in the system, displayed, minimized and so on
but don't add a deleted feature, thats for the recycle bin. When clicking on an entry from the preview dialog, the focus should
be redirected to the actual note in the system. If a note is minimized it should be restored

so far I'm looking at just copying the recycle bin class and modifying it?
quadz.. do you know if I have to create a new header file for this?

p.s. did u get my PM earlier?

p.s.s i have another part to add to this later..

Hi,

Yes; I did get your PM.

Good luck!

P.S. If you're going to copy the recycle bin class into its own .cpp file, then, yes, you should also make a corresponding new .h file.

[console]

How's it going?  Have you made any progress?

[console]

You're not waiting till the night before it's due, are ya????

I'm trying not to.. but I have a 7 page paper to write which is almost done, on page 6.. and was at work all day today, so I'm spending tonight and the majority of tomorrow night on it. Theres no way I'm going to finish all this.. dammit! I'll be starting on it in the next half hour

Well here is the second part of what I have to do.

Code: [Select]

Reverse engineer the static design the program. You will need to construct the UML class diagram for the
program software system, using the source and documentation alone. The Class diagram is a type of UML
diagrams that describe the static structure of a system.

NOTES
You can use any software to construct the class diagram.
However, you must indicate what software you are using and what part of
the diagram was done using this system.

Recommend using Visio.

quadz.. what do you make of that ^ ..cuz it's all gibberish to me 

[[N]auTiCa]

Alright, having trouble finding out how to get the extra item to display in the menu item when right clicking the app.

So far, I've looked at DlgLanguage.cpp and SystemTray.cpp and added the following items, then I get the error "to many initializers"

Code: [Select]

to DlgLanguage.cpp added the following line

_T("Notes Viewer"), // 11



to SystemTray.cpp added the following line

menu.SetMenuText (ID_TRAYMAIN_NOTESVIEWER, CTranslate::ReadString (18, "Notes Viewer"), MF_STRING);

I've noticed throughout the code that there are references made to numbers which i'm assuming have to do with how many and what menu items are to be displayed when right clicking the app when running.

So far, no luck.. still trying.

Yuck. 

Up till now I was impressed with the assignments you were being given in this class.

UML is like flow-charting for the 1990's. 

Actually, UML class diagrams are fun to look at.  But I wouldn't want to have to generate one by hand.  Might want to look into a tool to analyze the code and generate the UML model for you.

There are some open source tools on this page: http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~migod/uml.html

Looks like the only free modeler there that will reverse engineer C++ -> UML requires Linux.

There are commercial tools on that page though that work on Windows.

Maybe you could use UMLStudio. http://www.pragsoft.com/  It says you can download it and run it in "freeware mode", where it is fully functional but you can't save.  That might be OK for you, 'cause maybe you could just take a screenshot.

BTW, if you want to get a feel for what these diagrams look like, just do a Google image search for:
"UML class diagram".

thanx quadz, I've been looking through some diagrams to get the feel for it, but for now I want to finish the first part I posted about and worry about the UML later.. thats just an additional assignment to improve my grade from doing poorly on the second part 

btw.. this UML Studio looks good (it looks good, although I have no idea what any of this stuff does lol)

p.s. I'm also trying this program - Visual Paradigm http://www.visual-paradigm.com/VPGallery/codeengine/CodeReverse.html

[[N]auTiCa]

Alright, I've completed reverse engineering the program, I used Visual Paradigm. I also tried UML Studio, but VP had more features and it's a 30 day trial, which works perfectly fine. I've exported the UML diagram images and specified whats what.. so now it's time to move on to the real part and thats creating the viewer dialog box.

[[N]auTiCa]

OK.. all done with the assignment. Basically what I did was copy the RecycleBin.cpp file and modify it so that all it does is display the proper notes without some of the features the actual recyclebin file has, also with the appropriate header file as well as dialog box.

I dunno what happen to you tonight console.. but I guess I pulled through without having to ask for so much help 

Thanks for your previous help though, I really appreciated it.. now time to study for finals until tomorrow (no sleep tonight).

[console]

Congrats, glad you finished it!

I was here.  I didn't see you ask any questions.
