Hi,
First, I'm programming a WIN32 app which is an add-on. I do need to include
windows.h, and it would seem this prevents me from using any MFC stuff.
This is not the case. Windows.h doesn't [and cannot] "prevent" from using
MFC. Rather it is already included by MFC headers. So it is already there in
an MFC project.
Is the CByteArray class an MFC thing?
Yes.
Can I do something like this:
CByteArray mac;
mac.SetSize(MAC_DIM);
for( int i = 0; i < MAC_DIM; i++ )
{
macAddress[i] = guid.Data4[i+2];
}
meaning access the elements with array syntax?
Yes. operator [] has two overloads; one of them returns a non-const
reference of an element to allow it to be used as l-value.
Finally, I'm completely lost on how to write a functinon
void MyClass::Buffer2HexString( CByteArray& , string& );
which, will return the array of bytes as a hex string, meaning convert the
byte array to a string of hex digits that can be printed easily.
Use std::stringstream or _ttot or smth else. A typical code might look like
so;
CString ByteArrayToHexes(const CByteArray &array)
{
CString res;
for (int j = 0; j < array.GetSize(); j ++)
{
BYTE val = array[j];
TCHAR buf[4];
_itot(val, buf, 16);
res += CString(buf);
}
return res;
}
Might even be better to just return a string object, but what is really just
driving me crazy is the proper "UNICODE" aware way to do the above for a
small array of 6 bytes.
If _UNICODE is defined, _itot works with unicode symbols.
