I'm developing a Azure Function in VS 2019 with .NET Core and want to use Chilkat.CkString
I'm using ChilkatDnCore 9.5.0.87 Nuget package.
However CkString isn't available, CkDateTime and CkObject etc. are.
Is there a problem with the Nuget package/version or I am doing something wrong?

I'm sorry for the confusion. I'll try to update the documentation somewhere..
The CkString and CkByteData classes won't be available in .NET Core (it's intentional).
You should instead use the Chilkat.StringBuilder and Chilkat.BinData classes.
The CkString and CkByteData classes were original classes created about 20 years ago, and don't fit well into the multi-language API design. They were created with C/C++ in mind. Obviously they'll remain present in the places where they currently exist, but for any new languages supported going forward, they won't be included. If there's something CkString provides that Chilkat.StringBuilder doesn't, then let me know..

(thread title) bedrock minecraft more recognizable as "Windows 10 Edition" Minecraft, is it possible to create a sub category UI menu similar to that in Java minecraft where it says "mods" but in bedrock? and to add mods you make a mods folder that adds the mods coded in C++ (which the language bedrock/windows 10 MC is coded in)?
although this has been answered by #Kosaro, I just wanna add that you can create plugins to use on a PocketMine server. this is mainly written in YAML and PHP, so its not really what your looking for exactly but it a bit more open than just the addons that Minecraft allows you to create. plugins like this are what make things like slapping a NPC on a server like Mineplex possible, or an economy system on a factions server. although this is all dependent on whether you have a pc to host the server, and if your willing to port forward to play with others
It is possible through Blocklauncher. And these mods are called native Mods. It involves disassembling a file in Minecraft apk and using the function calls to call our own function. It is actually so complex. I only found two places to learn.

Blocklauncher also uses javascript as a bridge between C++ and Minecraft, but it only has very few functionalities compared to C++. Add-ons are also good but have very fewer functionalities than javascript.
Hopes it helps you
Edit1: Blocklauncher is dead I don't know it before. It will work for older versions.
Edit2: There is another app inspired by Blocklauncher which you may like
https://github.com/TripleCamera. I don't know how to install it, but he made it. Blocklauncher scripts will not work (I guess). Blocklauncher works for version 12 and below of Minecraft
No, Minecraft Bedrock edition (aka Windows 10 edition) does not support C++ mods. The only type of mod that Bedrock edition supports are "add-ons", which are either resource packs (which change textures, models, sounds, animations, etc) or behavior packs (which change how mobs behave).
You are able to modify the UI using resource packs, here is an example from the official wiki: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Bedrock_Edition_creator_guidelines#UI
You can find more information and tutorials on the official reference page: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Add-on
Yes it is possible but it would be very involved and I’m not sure if this would be what the question really pertains to. The way I’ve seen it done is by a program (modding client) injecting itself into the Minecraft process. The injection resembles a virus’s methodology somewhat and the source code for the hacking/modding program was mostly cpp. Look up horion hacked client github. The client seems to be dead now though.
So this is my first time posting a question here. If I do it wrong, please, be gentle. :)
I'm trying to find a decent reporting solution at my company and it seems like JasperReports is one of the better (read: inexpensive) ways to go. They've got a newly revamped Eclipse-based banded report editor called JasperSoft Studio, and it looks really slick.
The problem I'm having is figuring out exactly what pieces I need in order to use this tool (or the files it creates) in my CF apps. After much Googling, I'm not really finding the answers I'm looking for... and what little information I do find is really pretty old.
Is anyone using JasperSoft Studio in combination with the JasperReports Library to do any on-the-fly PDF creation? We've come to a point on this particular application where cfdocument just isn't cutting it.
The things I know are:
CF is using a really (really, really) old version of JasperReports
under the hood to drive cfreport.
There is a way for me to override the really old version of
JasperReports so that CF will load the newest one.
Beyond that though, I'm not sure if it's just a matter of using JasperSoft Studio to create compiled JRXML files or (.jasper files, I'm not sure which) and then maybe just rename those to '.cfr' which cfreport knows how to deal with... or what?
If I look at the documentation for JasperReports Library it would seem that I need a lot more than just the JR Library and the JasperSoft Studio to make all of this work... but it's just kind of unclear to me. Because the library is so flexible and can be used from lots of different types of systems I'm having trouble figuring out what I need for my certain set of circumstances.
Is anyone out there using JasperReports in their CF applications or does anyone have any experience setting up to use JasperReports with CF?
There seems to be precious little information on this topic. :(
Also, in case it comes up (as it did in a few of the much older posts I found on the internet) ColdFusion is written in Java so I DO have access to any underlying Java Classes that I might need.
using wxwidgets 2.8 with GCC 4.6.2 under windows 8
Problem: Does the wxwidgets framework have any class/functions to access file attributes, specifically the HIDDEN attribute?
Things I have already tried:
I know I can use the WIN32 api's SetFileAttributes but I do not want to adopt that as I would like to keep the code cross-platform.
I have already checked classes under wx such as: wxFile, wxFileName and functions under filefn.h but could not find anything.
Any help/suggestion would be much appreciated.
No, wxFileName doesn't have any support for this. "Hidden" attribute under Windows is really Windows-specific, so there is really nothing wrong with using Windows ::GetFileAttributes() to test for it.
But having a method in wxFileName testing doing this under Windows and checking if the first character of the filename is a dot under Unix would be still useful, and not really difficult to implement, so if, by chance, you feel like adding it, please feel free to contribute it to wxWidgets.
I already did some searching on stackoverflow and as far as I can see there are many ways to use databases in C++. Unfortunately at work my tools are pretty limited. I only get to use visual studio C++ 6 and don't even have boost (although I have learned to cope with that) - I assume that I can only use what is the standard distribution being delivered togather with VS C++ 6.
Now my code generates a lot of data and I would like to store some of it in a simple databse (like an MS Access db). What tools might I be able to use?
My alternative approauch would be to create a database-like object via a struct and vectors/arrays.
I also have office 2010 installed - perhaps I could somehow use Access?
Computation-speed also plays a role - the faster the better.
Another important thing: my PC at work isn't an open client. Thus I can not install any new software. Downloading and moving files works. Basically I must be able to install the tool by just moving the files into a desired folder.
Please let me know if the question is confusing or insufficiently detailed I will do what i can to remedy the situation then.
Thnaks in advance for your help :)
Even though you said 'only standard tools', I'd still say, get SQLite. It ss a public domain software, i.e. no license whatsoever . You can download an 'amalgamation' - one .h file and one .c file and include it into your project. It should compile in VC6 no problem. Very easy to use, you will be up and running in 10 minutes.
It does exactly what you need - a DB in a single file, no servers, zero-setup, etc.
Well, Visual C++ 6 did include MFC which had a suite of classes for the creation and manipulation of databases, I'm fairly certain it would be possible to use these to create a database that is accessible from Access. Unfortunately Microsoft's online help doesn't seem to go back that far, but all the reference material you need should come with the VS 6. (In my opinion VS Help system was better back then anyways.)
On a side note, you could download an old version of boost that would work with VS6. I'm not sure what the last version of boost that supports VS6 is, my guess it's somewhere around 1.3x.
VC6 should work.
Can you use MFC's db objects? (DAO I think back then?).
If your app really generates a lot of data, you might want to look at MySql. I've run into size limitations in older Access tables. Unless it's an extraordinarily simple db, you probably don't want to brew your own (though it might be fun if you have a lot of time).
The key will be finding a driver/db combo that will work. I would install the GA (free) MySql, create a tiny db with 1 table and find the driver ("connector" in MySql terms) that will work. Maybe older ODBC driver?
Also, check out ConnectionStrings.com for info on getting connected to a particular database / driver.
Just in general terms, for a noobie. I apparently need an 'SDK' to install something; what is this?
An SDK is a set of libraries which hold reusable code that you in turn use to develop applications. Whether those applications will run in Windows, on an XBOX, and iPhone, in a Flash application, etc. determine what SDK you should be using.
Take the iPhone for example. To write an iPhone application, you write code in a language called Objective-C (which looks and feels just like C, but with Smalltalk's object-model). Anyway, every time you write an app, you don't need to rewrite the code that draws text on the actual screen or registers the actual screen-touches. Instead, Apple provides the code that all application developers will need to do simple things.
Likewise, if you're writing for Windows, there are libraries to do things like draw an actual window, or connect to the network stack.
All of these common libraries, along with some other tools, make up an SDK.
For C++, you will probably see a lot of mention of Boost. This is not an SDK, but rather a set of libraries that contain code that a lot of other developers find useful.
What platform are you trying to write for? Are you just getting into C++ in Windows and looking to get started? Are you trying to write a game for some console?
"Software Development Kit" - a set of tools and libraries that let you develop software.
An example would be the iPhone SDK, which lets you develop software for the iPhone.
An SDK for a given product in general includes what you need to create an interface or an application based on that product. That's why "software development kit", a set of things needed to build software. It is strange though that an SDK is necessary for an install, could you provide more details?
An SDK is a tool kit that helps you develop software for a certain platform.
Help us out with some context! We might just be able to get you the correct SDK.
The OP indicates that the SDK is needed to install software. If this is the case, then maybe the OP is really asking is "Why is an SDK needed to install software, given that I am not developing (compiling) software?"
The OP tagged the question with SDK, which provides a definition and if the OP took the time write the question, the OP would in all likeliness Google SDK.
I suspect this is a case where moderators could have helped the OP to refine the question.
