how to get handle and use it?

Again me
Can anyone tell me how to get a handle of a form and
using that handle show it?
I have MDI application where child forms are all instances of one form.
Since I cannot give then individual names, only solution that I could think
of are handles. So, when child is minimized, it just becomes hidden, but
it's internal name is placed into listbox, so that user can click on it to
re-display hidden form. Now, all I need is how to get a handle of form (from
within it), and how to use handle to show the form.
Thx

Dont use handles, use reflection.
Get the instance of the object to show the form.

You could also place the HashCode value of each form in the
listbox as the value member and then find the form using the
HashCode by checking the MDI parents MdiChildren property
collection.

Hello! Here I have two classes these are called Handle and Body and a main. You have the class definition below. Some basic information. In the Handle class is there a pointer to the Body. Each Body object contains one primitive datatype int. The Body instance is created in the constructor for Handle. In main I instansiate some Handle object and use the STL function push_front to push these object into the list.

Before asking this questions I've spent literally _years_ reading (Meyer, Stroustrup, Holub), googling, asking more general design questions, and just plain thinking about it. I am truly unable to figure out what would be a "proper" OO design (in C++) for this. There may be alternatives to writing my own ODBC handle classes, and I may be interested in them, but I'd like to pursue this particular problem, if for no other reason than to...

Hi, I recently had a problem where I decided to store objects in a vector. (Previously, I had always stored pointers in vectors). Well, naturally, when storing an object in a vector, using push_back, the object I had in hand was getting copied (twice, in fact). That led to a problem, in that my object contained a "handle" to another object, and when the object being pushed went out of scope and was destroyed, the referenced object was...

I am working in managed C++. I have a Mutex object in which I need to replace the Handle property with a new handle. The new handle is being constructed using Win32 CreateMutex call. I need to call the Win32 version in order to set the security descriptor for the mutex, which is not natively supported in .NET Framework 1.1. I always get a little nervous about resource leaks when trying to bridge Win32 with .NET, so I want to make sure...

Handle Classes Handle classes, also called Envelope or Cheshire Cat classes, are part of the Bridge design pattern. The objective of the Bridge pattern is to separate the abstraction from the implementation so the two can vary independently. Handle classes usually contain a pointer to the object implementation. The Handle object is used rather than the implemented object. This leaves the implemented object free to change without affecting...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
