Hi All,
I have a class, ConsoleWindow, that is a member of another class,
ConsoleLib, like so:
class ConsoleLib
{
public:
class ConsoleWindow
{
public:
ConsoleWindow(H ANDLE Screen, COORD Start, COORD Size, bool Border);
~ConsoleWindow( );
// etc.
}
void OutputString(ch ar *String);
// etc.
}
How would I call a ConLib function from a ConsoleWindow constructor or
function? I'm trying to call OutputString from ConsoleWindow's constructor.
Is there any way of doing this?
On a side note, should the subclass ConsoleWindow be public or private?
Thanks,
Eric 4 1692

For ConsoleWindow member functions to have access to private members
of ConsoleLib, you may want to make it a friend:
friend class ConsoleWindow;
void OutputString(ch ar *String);
Note that this member function can only be called on an object/instance
of class ConsoleLib:
ConsoleLib object;
object.OutputSt ring("Hello world");
If you want the function to be callable directly, you need
to declare it as static:
static void OutputString(ch ar const* string);
//NB: note also the added 'const', you probably want to have it
// etc. } How would I call a ConLib function from a ConsoleWindow constructor or function?
As usual, but note the above comment about 'static' members.
(if you come from a Java background, note that in C++ "inner classes"
do not store a pointer to an instance of the enclosing class).
On a side note, should the subclass ConsoleWindow be public or private?
private, unless code outside of class ConsoleLib needs to have
access to it.

In Java, you ConsoleWindow would be a nested class, and it does have
access to ConsoleLib. But this isn't Java.
In C++, you need a reference to your ConsoleLib in your ConsoleWindow.
class ConsoleLib
{
public:
class ConsoleWindow
{
ConsoleLib &m_lib;
public:
ConsoleWindow(C onsoleLib &lib, HANDLE Screen, COORD Start,
COORD Size, bool Border);
~ConsoleWindow( );
// etc.
}
void OutputString(ch ar *String);
// etc.
};

That depends on whether anything other than ConsoleLib needs to use it!
Thanks, Eric

Im using an xsl transformation so its not practical to use controls in the

usually Id just use onclick="<eventHandler>" say for something like a button

is there a way to manually call a method defined in a codebehind class, but
is not called by a standard control? I looked at the __doPostBack() function
that .net generates but it seemed impenetrable.

If there is a unique identifier like "Publisher" with a bunch of

the books properties like "Name" be easily called in the main code, or
searched for in the main code?
