| | You are probably going to have to pay someone to write the program for you. And you will have to give him/her one of those modules to work with so that the program can be tested. Therre are many freelance web sites where you can hire a programmer. |

| | >It is impossible for any human> Zombis :) |
| | The only time I've ever seen goto useful is to break out of a very deeply nested set of loops. Too bad c++ didn't implement C's setjmp and longjmp functions because they would be similar to goto but could jump across functions. But of course that would be impossible in … |

It contains great details of the project, such as screen shots, menus, and a detailed description of the purpose of the project. A project could consist of multiple programs which all work for some common purpose, …  |
 | Windows 8 has made such changes pretty easy. There's an option in control panel to change default programs and file extension associations. |

 | Re: c++ cashier Since this is school work, and the thread is over 3 years old, its not likely that the op will post the final program. You will just have to write it yourself.  |
| | You could just read them into some array of structures or class then sort them in memory. If you want to know what a particular person signed up for then sort the items by name, not by type. |
| | Re: File handling Probably the fastest way to do that is to read all of file2 into an in-memory array(s). Then start reading file1 line by line. Read a line, search file2 array for employee ID, when found print to third file or to screen. Repeat that for each line in file1. That … |
 | It's now been four years since the original article was posted here. c++ is still alive and thirving languge. D?? I don't know a single person who uses it. |
 | I rather like the idea of rep and post counts dropping off after 6-12 months. What I did 8 years ago has little relevance today. I'm not very crazy about the idea of paying people (however little) to answer questions. I do it because I want to, not because you … |
 | There are a couple problems with that code 1. LPWSTR is a pointer, not a character, so LPWSTR buffer[255] creates an array of 255 pointers. Correction: `TCHAR buffer[255]` is an array of TCHAR characters, and TCHAR is defined as either char or wchar_t depending on whether the program is compiled … |

| | The extraction operator >> does not read past white space (spaces and tabs). So if the name in the file contains a space your program can not work. you should replace " while (!myfile.eof())" with this: [code] while( myfile>>number>>name>>DOB>>sex>>residence ) { } [/code] Reason: eof() does not detect end-of-file until … |
 | Re: fstream Tutorial you should probably update your tutorial to use current c++ standards -- The information is very very old and many of it obsolete. This makes it pretty difficult for new c++ programmers to weed through the chaff to get to the good stuff. |
 | vb is not an ide but a programming language, just like C# is a programming language. Probably the best IDE is Visual Studio. The Express version is free.  |

| | I assume you mean MS-Windows operating system. It all depends on the program, compiler and libraries you used. When you try to run the program on another computer does the os give you some errors, such as missing DLLs? Some compilers let you statically link all libraries so that it … |

 | All messages are sent to the WinProc() procedure -- the first parameter to that function tells you which hWnd the message is for. In the case of wm_create the message is sent before the window becomes visible. |
