Adding items to a list

dangelog

And exactly what do you want to add to that list? Because there's nothing resembling a string inside your ProcInfo class...

? Offline

I want to add each ProcInfo contained in the list to the listbox, but from your repsonse I am guessing you can't add custom class items to a listbox the same way you can in C#.

even in C# you need to have a ToString method. How would C++ what you actually want to print. That being said. What do you want to print? The id? In that case you could have an implicit cast to QString like:
@
class ProcInfo
{
public:
//code
operator QString() const
{
return QString::number(id);
}
};
@
or you could call QString::number in the loop instead of adding an implicit cast function:
@
ui->myList->addItem(QString::number((*p).id));

No you don't in C#, because when you create a class it automatically has a base ToString() method which is automatically used in certain controls like listboxes without being called (although the string would be simply the class name unless you override the method) I assumed C++ would be no different but clearly it is.

Thanks for the help.

How would I use your operator QString() const method? I can tell I have a long way to go int he conversion from C# to C++ :(

Sorry, I forgot about that in C# (I have only once looked into it and that very briefly). However, if you consider your issue solved, pleas add [Solved] in front of the thread title (by editing the first post).

I can't work out actually how to use your operator QString() const.

? Offline

The posts must have crossed in the air ;). The QString() const method is an "explicit coversion operator":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ts48df3y(v=vs.80).aspx . However, be aware that there are also many bugs that may follow from the misuse of this laguage feature.

EDIT: you can use it just like ou would in C# (i.e. without doing anything special)

That's what I thought but get compiler error:

error: no matching function for call to 'QListWidget::addItem(const ProcInfo&)'

? Offline

Actually there are more compile errors I should have mentioned which are most likely causing this:

error: no match for 'operator=' in 'p = procList.std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::begin with _Tp = int, _Alloc = std::allocator<int>'

? Offline

Sorry but I can't reproduce. This all works:
@
class ProcInfo
{
public:
int id;
ProcInfo() : id(1234)
{}
operator QString() const
{
return QString::number(id);
}
};

void print(QString print)
{
qDebug() << print;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

QList< ProcInfo > list1;
list1 << ProcInfo();
QList< ProcInfo >::const_iterator i = list1.begin();

std::list< ProcInfo > list2;
list2.push_back(ProcInfo());

std::list< ProcInfo >::const_iterator i2 = list2.begin();

print(*i2);

print (*(i));

QListWidget widget;
widget.addItem(*i);

std::list< ProcInfo >::const_iterator p = list2.begin();

for (p=list2.begin();p!=list2.end(); ++p)
{
    widget.addItem(*p);
}

widget.show();

const ProcInfo p2;
print(p2);

return a.exec(&#41;;

}

Ok I've managed to get rid of all compile errors except this one:

error: expected type-specifier before 'QString'

And the error points to the operator:

@
class ProcInfo
{
public:
HANDLE Proc;
DWORD Base;
int ID;
operator QString() const
{
return QString::number(ID);
}
};@

? Offline

did you #include <QString>?

? Offline

That fixed that but now I have another problem /sigh.

I have declared std::list<ProcInfo> procList; inside a header file, and that header file is included in the main cpp file which I am doing this all in, however I get error:

error: multiple definition of `procList'

There is definitely only 1 definition and it's inside the h file so I'm a little confused, maybe c++ isn't for me :(

There's not much we can do without seeing the header file ...

That error points to line 11 in proc.cpp.

Well, my first comment is: fix your "include guards":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard

? Offline

I'll be honest, I don't really get it :/

? Offline

Yes! Let me explain. In C (and C++) an #include directive will include the file regardless of whether it has been included before. You can litterally compare this to copy'n'past-ing the header file into the source code whenever there is an #include directive. The include guards are used to make sure every header file is only included once. E.g. if your header file would usually be
@
class Dummy
{};
@
you'd have to use
@
#ifndef DUMMY_H //i.e. if dummy.h has never been included before
#define DUMMY_H //remember that it has been included

class Dummy
{};

#endif //endif after all statements
@
In your case the include guards have to enclose all of your statements (the header files not necessarily because they have their own include guards, but it's usually best to have the include guards be the first and last satements in your header files)

Ok so if I understand you it should be:

@
#include <windows.h>
#include <list>
#include <QString>

#ifndef PROC_H
#define PROC_H

class ProcInfo
{
public:
HANDLE Proc;
DWORD Base;
int ID;
operator QString() const
{
return QString::number(ID);
}
};

std::list<ProcInfo> procList;

bool createProcessList();
DWORD GetModuleBase(LPSTR lpModuleName, DWORD dwProcessId);

#endif // PROC_H@

But I still get the same error.
