That's correct. 
 
Here's what the WIN32 API help says regarding joystick notification messages:

Joystick messages notify your application that a joystick has changed position or that one of its buttons has changed states. Messages beginning with MM_JOY1 are sent to the function if your application requests input from the joystick using the identifier JOYSTICKID1, and MM_JOY2 messages are sent if your application requests input from the joystick using the identifier JOYSTICKID2. 

The messages in the following table identify the status of the joystick buttons:

Message	Description
MM_JOY1BUTTONDOWN	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID1 has been pressed.
MM_JOY1BUTTONUP	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID1 has been released.
MM_JOY1MOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID1 changed position in the x- or y-direction.
MM_JOY1ZMOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID1 changed position in the z-direction.
MM_JOY2BUTTONDOWN	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID2 has been pressed.
MM_JOY2BUTTONUP	A button of joystick JOYSTICKID2 has been released.
MM_JOY2MOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID2 changed position in the x- or y-direction
MM_JOY2ZMOVE	Joystick JOYSTICKID2 changed position in the z-direction.
All messages report nonexistent buttons as released.

Hope this helps

at the beginning of your main program, put the following:

srand(time(0));

and don't forget at beginning of the same file:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

This works for me. srand(time(0)) takes the current time and seeds the
random numbers generator with it. After that, you can use rand() to
get a series of pseudo-random numbers (depending on the seed value
used with srand())

hi everyone, just a quicky, does anyone know how to make a random number? 
i've tried:

messpool = rand() %12;

but that comes up with the same number everytime so i must be way off. if 
anyone could help i would be greatful.

thanks

Hi !
I need help !
I'm trying to use function joySetCapture to send a message to my window =
when the joystick position moves.
But, that's it, the message "WM_JOYMOVE" is not knowed in Dev-C++.=20
It gives me an error "WM_JOYMOVE undeclared"

Here's what the WIN32 API help says :
    You can notify Windows to send joystick messages to an application =
whenever the position of a joystick axis changes by a value greater than =
the movement threshold of the device. The movement threshold is the =
distance the joystick must be moved before a WM_JOYMOVE message is sent =
to a window that has captured the device. The threshold is initially =
zero. You can set the movement threshold by using the joySetThreshold =
function. You can retrieve the minimum polling frequency of the joystick =
by using the joyGetDevCaps function.

Have you got an idea to help me out ?

Thank you in anticipation,
    Ben.

Hi,

First of all a small clarification: Bloodshed Dev-C++ is
only an IDE that by default uses mingw as a compiling
environment so it does not provide I/O routines by itself.
But since it is primarily used for Windows development
then you can use all the comm I/O routines of Win32 API.
In Windows comm I/O is a bit more complicated than
it used to be in Turbo-C but not much. You can find
more about it in mingw-users list archives at SourceForge
or in Win32 help files (look for TransmitCommChar and
related functions)

More precisely, the development of the linux port (which will need Dev-C++ to

Dev-c++ will work with it since it would use the same compiler (gcc). But maybe
Gtk and Qt are more advanced than wxWindows. Anyway, GUI libraries won't
probably be directly included in Dev-C++, since it would make the download too
big. But i will try to plan something new in Dev-C++ for working with GUI
libraries though.

I am attempting to write a program that reverses the order of the bits in an
unsigned integer value.  The program should input the value from the user
and call function reverseBits to print the bits in reverse order.  Print the
value both before and after the bits are reversed.

Any suggestions?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void reverseBits(unsigned);
void displayBits(unsigned);

int main()
{
  
    unsigned number;
    //  number = 21845;

    printf("enter a numnber  \n");
    scanf("%u", &number);
    
    printf("\n The reverse of \n");
    displayBits(number);
    printf("is\n");
    reverseBits(number);
    
    // reverseBits(~number);

      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}
void displayBits(unsigned value)
{
  unsigned c, displayMask = 1 << 15;
   
 printf("%7u = ", value);

 for (c=1; c <=16; c++)
     {
     putchar(value & displayMask ? '1' : '0');
    
     value <<= 1;
     

     if(c % 8 == 0)
          putchar(' ');
     }
      putchar('\n');
 }

void reverseBits(unsigned value)
{
  unsigned c, displayMask = 1 << 15;
    unsigned newval = 0;
  
for (c=1; c<=16; c++)
{
  newval += (value & displayMask ? '1' : '0');    

  value <<= 1;
  newval >>= 1;
  
  if (c%8 == 0)
    putchar(' ');
}
 putchar('\n');
 displayBits(newval);
 
}

I believe that it is only extrange when you "paste" the text into
Notepad.

For the file I/O of your program shouldn't be a problem. However, if
you like to get it nice in Notepad you would need to use both 10 & 13
as the new line.

    The strange this is that I am just writing out char(10), not =
char(13) too.  That section of code is as follows:

struct Calendar_Entry {
      int id;
      string start_date, end_date;
      string title;
      string description;
};
=20
vector<Calendar_Entry> entry_list(0);=20
. . .

 const char End_of_Entry =3D char(10);
 const char End_of_Field =3D char(124);
                =20
 Calendar_Entry entry;
. . .

  for (int i=3D0; i < entry_list.size(); i++)
      {
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].id << End_of_Field;
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].start_date << End_of_Field;=20
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].end_date << End_of_Field;
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].description << End_of_Entry;
      }

    I write out a string just before it, but that shouldn`t matter.      =

 Alan,

char(10) is '\n', the line feed character. When you paste into
 Notepad you get the solid block in Microsoft's edit boxes
 (Notepad is a simple edit box) unless you add also the char(13),
 ie '\r' the carriage return.

Hope this help.

I checked the http://www.wxwindows.org/ and i downloaded the 2.2.5 windows
version. I tried to compile it for dev-c++ (mingw32) but it did not work. I
think it would be great if it was included in the next version of Dev-C++
and in the mean time to be ported for the current version of dev-c++.

I think there is a solution. Don't post digitally signed messages in the
list. :) There is no purpose for such security. There is probably an option
in his email client like "automatically sign new messages".

I had the same problem with your previous messages. Everytime i wanted
to view one of your messages, outlook express 5 started downloading a
391KB (would take over a minute for me) file called class1.crf (or
something like that). When i stop the download windows freezes for some

message without the same procedure starting again.. probably there's a
menu option in outlook express to turn this behaviiour off, but i didn't
find it yet..

My older computer does the same, it takes a little while to load whatever is loading with the certificate.  Even my new box (1.3ghz) has some lag, unfortunently. =(
