Can some tell me what I have to do to straighten out Eclipse CDT's Type Hierarchy display?
I have C++ classes that I've refactored, changed their names, and moved around in the same file and/or into different files. When I click on "Open Type Hierarchy", Eclipse open up the Type Hierarchy window but it shows me the old names and duplicates of existing classes. Clicking on the old names vectors me to a random location in what was once (I'm assuming) the original source file. I have to click on the duplicates one after the other until I find one that vectors me to the correct location.
Is there a way to rebuild whatever needs to be rebuilt to get the Type Hierarchy window to show accurate classes and navigate properly?
Something I should point out is that all my project use their own makefile. i.e. Eclipse does not manage them. Does that make a difference?
Thanks

Assume we have the huge Visual Studio solution and there are many files (tabs) opened. Does Visual Studio 2012 (Visual C++ particularly) have any View panel which will show the interactive list of objects from the current file when I switch to the corresponding tab? Or maybe there is an official extension which will help me? The standart Object Browser is not exactly what I want, because I'd like to see the list of all objects from the current file and only them.
Thanks!
Edit: I mean the list of all classes, structures, variables, methods etc., no matter declared or only defined in this file.
Did you try Visual-Assist extension? It might be helpful.

Use Object Browser.
The Object Browser lets you select and examine the namespaces, classes, methods, and other programming symbols available for use in your project. You can open the Object Browser from the View menu, by clicking the Object Browser button on the main toolbar, or by typing CTRL+ALT+J. It will work for VS2005, VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012. Check out here for more info.
EDIT: If you want to see a so-called global tree view. I only know this works for WPF projects. You can use the WPF Tree visualizer to explore the visual tree of a WPF object, and to view the WPF dependency properties for the objects that are contained in that tree. For more information about visual trees, see Trees in WPF. For more information about dependency properties, see Dependency Properties Overview. Check out here.
I'm new to visual studios and I just created this very short calculator and I want to put it on mediafire for people to download but I wanted to change the icon..
I've heard that you select your app in solution explorer and Project>Properties
But my properties menu seems different.
It saids calculator property pages.
It doesnt have the tabs like ~Publish~ or ~Applications~ where people said you change your icon.
My properties is like this:
Configuration: Active(Debug)
and some other stuff below it some complicated stuff(to me)
Why doesnt mine have what other people have? I just want to share my first ever app with a custom icon. Help please, will appreciate it.
Create a text file, rename it res.rc, edit it to contain the line:
201 ICON "myicon.ico"
Add that file to your project. The file myicon.ico must exists.
Note: This is a bit hacky, the numerical vaulues should preferably be defined in a header.
You might be confused because Visual Studio supports different languages, and its UI is not consistent across those languages. Since you tagged it C++, the "old" rules apply. An application icon is a so-called resource.
You have to provide an .ico file, and reference it in a .rc file. The resource compiler (RC) compiles it into a .res file, and the linker then adds it to the EXE.
In C++, if you open the form in designer view, the properties window has an icon property that will allow you to browse for the icon of your choice.
Just for reference, i spent two hours trying to change it without any success until i resized the icon, it should be 32x32 and another one for small icon -not sure if its necessary though- with 16x16.
visual studio creates two icons when create the project , one is called small.ico and one is name yourexe.ico, just replace those and make sure to have correct sizes.
I start Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I chose to start a new project on the Welcome Page. Ofcourse my preferred language is Visual C++ and I'm chosing to begin a Windows Forms Application. I give up a name like Calculator for this one. I do not touch the other options on this dialog. The project gets created and a new Form1.h is automatically added to the project, and a Form1.resX is also added. Because 'Form1' is useless to me, I'dd like to rename it to something more VB6 style, like "frmMain.h". So I right click the Form and simply chose "Rename". After accepting my new name, the necessary changes seem to be occuring. first impression But now, when I try to build this project, It gives a BUILD FAILED. When I look into my files.. Form1 is still mentioned..
So my question is: How do you actually/OFFICIALLY rename Forms?
I've been reading a lot about this and mostly the answer is to delete the form, and re add a new with the right name.. I've heard also that VS asks to rename all references to it, but that doesn't show up to me. Some other people say, you have to use the quick replace function, and rename all references to this class and its file.. This is not a good way to me.. Or is it really the standard procedure?
I have programming experience in C++ and I know about classes and polymorfism and so on. But this is one of the simplest things that keeps me annoying!
You are using VC++.NET to create .NET applications (Windows Form in your case). I must warn you that VS is not very friendly for VC (refactoring, renaming, and little intellisense).
In this case, you renamed the form which will make VS also rename the Form1.resX, but it will not rename the class. It will do it if in C# or VB.NET. Just open the .h file and rename the class itself to match the name of the file.
You also need to update the main .cpp file where "main" resides, and update the Application::Run(gcnew Form1()); in there as well include the "#include".
A solution replace will work (Ctrl+Shift+H), but be careful with this.
click on the form -> properties -> text (usually named as Form1) -> change it.
I am very new to Qt but am trying to use it for a very simple file selection UI. I would really like to implement an interface like a software install (tree with checks and squares designating the entire folder, part of the folder, and then checks for individual files) for the entire drive tree. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this in Qt? I have also been trying to use just the QTreeView, but keep getting the error that
"ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'QModelIndex' with no type"
Does anyone know how to fix this?
In short, I am looking for any way to list the entire directory, select multiple parts, and return the list of selected files.
Simply use QFileDialog for that: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html.
I would like to parse the menu structure for Gnome Panels (the standard Gnome Desktop application launcher) and it's KDE equivalent using c/c++ function calls. That is, I'd like a list of what the base menu categories and submenu are installed in a given machine. I would like to do with using fairly simple c/c++ function calls (with NO shelling out please).
I understand that these menus are in the standard xdg format.
I understand that this menu structure is stored in xml files such as:
/home/user/.config/menus/applications.menu
I've looked here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/menu-spec?action=show&redirect=Standards%2Fmenu-spec but all they offer is the standard and some shell files to insert item entries (I don't want shell scripts, I don't want installation, I definitely don't want to create a c-library from the XDG specification. I want to find the existing menu structure). I've looked here: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/menustructure-13.html.en for more notes on these structures. None of this gives me a good idea of how determine the menu structures using a c/c++ program.
The actual gnome menu structures seem to be a horrifically hairy things - they don't seem to show the menu structure but to give an XML-coded description of all the changes that the menus have gone through since installation. I assume gnome panels parses these file so there's a function buried somewhere to do this but I've yet to find where that function is after scanning library.gnome.org for a couple of days. I've scanned the Nautilus source code as well but Panels seem to exist elsewhere or are burried well.
Thanks in advance
After much painful research... it seems the most stable approach is to take the gnome menu parsing code, rip it of the tar ball and use it locally.
The version I used is here:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-menus/2.28/gnome-menus-2.28.0.1.tar.gz
This code loudly proclaims that it shouldn't treated as any kind of API so one is forced to, as I said rip it of the gnome tree and keep a local copy for one's own application (gather than dynamically linking to a library).
The KDE version of the menu-parsing code seems like it could be used more transportably but actually depends heavily on KDE's virtual file system. As far as I can tell, the code gnome works stand-alone. The test-file can serve as a template for doing your own parsing.
