Dear all,
I'm brand new to VC++, I want to realize the function using MFC instead of c, I will be appreciate it if you can give me some help . thank you in advance !
If you were us reading that post and looking at that code, would you have any idea what you were talking about. If you mean you want to convert a C app to an MFC based Windows app, that's way beyond the scope of what you can get from a bulletin board. Head on down to the bookstore and buy any of the 1,000 page tutorial books and work through them.
There's nothing wrong in being brand new to something but wanting to do something more than trivial. In general what you need is to stop being brand new and gain some experience enough to accomplish what you want. To implement something in MFC you need to learn C++ and MFC. To re-implement a program you need to understand what and why it does to do what it does. To understand what original C program does you need to learn C and libraries it has in use if any.Quote:

The forum is intended to give answers to concrete questions. So we won't be able to teach you MFC or C, but you need identify your problems, convert those to questions and comprehend our answers. Which expects from you some knowledge and experience above the just stated "brand new to VC++".
Having all the said in mind, what kind of help do you expect from us right now?
Thank you very much for your advices, I will try my best to learn C++ and MFC from now , I have to accomplish this task in a few days , maybe I will ask for your advices again if I meet some trouble ,thank you in advance . maybe you find what I said strange, that's because I am
also new to English ,but as you said ,I will stop being brand new, I will try to express myself clearly in the near future. in a word ,thank you very much
Your English is fine. Your task isn't possible. You can't learn C++ and MFC in only a few days.Quote:

Okay, I can imagine it was implied to re-implement it presenting some GUI which is what MFC really belongs with. And now the main problem should be clearly understood: typically it's highly non-trivial to design GUI app behavior/workflow having a console app as a sample. Absolutely different approaches to be in effect.
Hi，Igor
(--I wish it is polite to call your name like this, ) I have made a little progress today,now I have a little trouble.
1、In C language it is expressed as " printf ("Camera USB driver version : %s\n", instr.version_cam_driver); ", I want to use MessageBox() in MFC to show "Camera USB driver version "and instr.version_cam_driver in one box. but I don't know how to show them together
2、"WFS_RevisionQuery () " is a sensor's library function (assume it belongs to class T), can I use it immediately after including the header file , or I have to define an object like this:
T test; test.WFS_RevisionQuery ()
It's difficult for me to express these things clearly in English , I wish you can understand what I said, thank you for your help .
1. You need to build/format a string prior to outputting it with MessageBox:
2. Considering how WFS_RevisionQuery() is used in main() I suppose you can call it immediately. But don't forget to include the corresponding lib file into your project.Code:CString msg;
msg.Format(_T("Camera USB driver version : %s\n"), instr.version_cam_driver); // pretty much the same :)
AfxMessageBox(msg);
Hi，Igor
I solved the problem using your method ,thank you very much , I met another trouble:
In C language, it can be written as:
printf("Centroid_x = %6.3f mm\n", beam_centroid_x);
printf("Centroid_y = %6.3f mm\n", beam_centroid_y);
...........
There are so many data to be saved ,I want to save them into a txt file. I use the following method:
ofstream out( "zernike.txt ");
out<<"Centroid_x = %6.3f mm\n"<<beam_centroid_x;
the thing is "%6.3f " isn't replaced with the value of beam_centroid_x , "Centroid_x = %6.3f mm\n" is directly printed. is there something wrong with my method,or are there any better methods ? Thank you in advance for your help;
Streams are completely different than printf() or printf()-like functions. The only similarities is that both methods output data.Quote:

out<<"Centroid_x = " << beam_centroid_x << "\n";
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/i.../setprecision/
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/
Another alternative is to still use CString::Format(), and then just output the entire formatted string at once.
Yes, you can use Format() here, but the disadvantage using this (and with any printf()-like functions that have format specifiers) is if you make a mistake matching up the format specifier with the actual type of the variable being outputted, the program will exhibit undesired behaviour (either you get strange output, or the worse case scenario is that your program will crash). For example, you specify "6.3f" and the variable being outputted is a char or some other type that isn't a float.Code:ofstream out( "zernike.txt ");
CString str;
str.Format( "Centroid_x = %6.3f mm\n", beam_centroid_x );
out<< (LPCSTR)str;
That's why streams are safer -- you cannot mess up with the format specifier because they do not exist for streams -- you just output the variable and use the manipulators to display the value as desired. But you need to know how to use them (as I've specified above).

Thank you Paul McKenzie, I solved the problem using the second method you suggested. it works well. there's something wrong when I use the first method .It reminds something wrong with "cout << fixed;",even though I include the header file. but it doesn't matter. Now ,I have a new problem. the function of the code below is to show the detected available instruments and then select one from the lists. I want to know how can I convert the C language to MFC. I cannot use getchar() now because I don't know where to input the number of the instruments. But should I use the dialog box which seems to make the thing complicated.
Thank you in adance for your help.Code:// List available Microlens Arrays
............
printf("\nAvailable Microlens Arrays:\n\n");
for(i=0;i<instr.mla_cnt;i++)
{
WFS_GetInstrumentListInfo (i, &device_id, &in_use, instr_name, serNr);
printf("%2d %s %s %s\n", device_id, instr_name, serNr, (!in_use) ? "" : "(inUse)");
..........
}
// Select MLA
printf("\nSelect a Microlens Array: ");
fflush(stdin);
*selection = getchar() - '0';
if(*selection < -1)
*selection = -1; // nothing selected
return *selection;
thanks to your help. I finish my work on time
Best wishes
