c++.stlsoft - resource_string

Pablo Aguilar (1/1) May 21 2004 Is there or will there be a resource_string that's not dependant on MFC?

Pablo Aguilar (4/6) May 21 2004 Thanks!

Matthew (3/10) May 21 2004 Pleasure. :)

Ryan Ginstrom (35/35) Dec 11 2004 I have just starting using stlsoft, and I like it a lot.

Matthew (13/47) Dec 12 2004 Great!

Ryan Ginstrom (13/22) Dec 12 2004 I actually heard about stlsoft a while ago (I have version 1.6.5 sitting...

Matthew (10/32) Dec 12 2004 Well, that's because I use it a lot, I guess. It's a much easier task to...

There's basic_resource_string in winstl_resource_string.h, which is in the
inprogress directory. I've been using this myself a lot recently (in the shell
extensions just updated at http://shellext.com) and will promote this to the
main
directory for 1.7.1.

It requires a base string to use, e.g. std::string, and you can supply an
exception policy type (otherwise it uses stlsoft::null_exception, which does not
throw, and the string is just empty on failure).

Beware that it does not yet work for UNICODE, but I will make this work before
1.7.1 (which I am hoping to release in the next few days ...).

Good reminder! :-)

Note: It does work with UNICODE. I was blowing hot air. ;)

Thanks!

I've just recently decided not to hard code strings anymore, and this is
coming in real handy...

 I've done it, and added in unit testing (and tested it!). Here's a sneak

preview.
 Note: It does work with UNICODE. I was blowing hot air. ;)

Ok. I'll check it out, and have a think about it.

Assuming it's the go, how would you feel about my incorporating this
into a future release? Naturally your input would be suitably credited.

I actually heard about stlsoft a while ago (I have version 1.6.5 sitting on
my hard disk), but just recently started using it after reading your

to take a closer look at the library, and I'm very glad I did. There is lots
of great stuff in there, and it actually works! <g>

Well, that's because I use it a lot, I guess. It's a much easier task to create
a library that works when its author
uses it. ;-)

The one Achilles heal for STLSoft is the lamentable documentation. I am hoping
to get time to address that soon, but
it's always dragging behind new components, and new sub-projects (of which I
have three planned for release soon:
ACESTL, DbSTL, XMLSTL)

Understood.

Thanks again. Feel free to post requests/bugs/criticisms here, or email them to

Documentation would be nice (as would a good XML parser/writer). I am no one
to talk though, being rather poor at writing documentation myself.

Luckily though, the various classes can generally just be dropped in and
used without too much fuss. I just checked out the resource_string
implementation because I have been bitten by this problem before.

I've finally incorporated this. Sorry for the delay.

It'll be in 1.8.3 beta5, which will probably be sometime this week or next.
When you get a chance, it'd be great if you 
can check it out on 9x. I've tested it by 'pretenting' to be 9x on XP, but some
finite doubt remains until it's tested 
on a real 9x system.

Thanks again for the insight. I've mentioned you in the
(winstl_resource_string.h) file header, and also in the Doxygen 
stuff. I've amended the copyright to now say:
