Don't show datestamp and timestamp even if user added those tags to format string on m_bIgnoreTimestamps setup.

    • September 13 2008 Sat

  • [TEXT] Explained Natasha how to work with SLTextUpdater.
  • [TEXT] WEATHER@COM.
  • [POSTER] Downloaded two really high resolution photos.
  • [POSTER] Made pre-cut of the poster (44.jpg). But figured out that 4x7 is 28 sheets of paper 30x40cm which is finally almost 3 meter in height and 1.2 in width. So I gotta do it 3x5.something.
    • September 9 2008 Tue

  • [TEXT] Fix bug: Delete list item. Then press <alt+tab> and will see delete dialog again!
  • [TEXT] Exit without preceding StopAllSources() causes _CrtDbgBreak() sometimes. (I put a couple of try-catch constructions within thread loops. Also I overloaded CTask::Release() member function to set m_pSettings=0; in a critical section to avoid using project pointer which can be dead already after task releasing.)
  • Conducted a C++-seminar for students.
    • September 2 2008 Tue
     
  • [LAUNDRY]
  • [TEXT] Fast stop (releasable: both Release() and Stop() but no ~). (Stop() just suspends a thread now instead of actually quiting. And release() just sets m_bReleased = true, Stop() just m_bSuspended = true).
  • [TEXT] Shortcuts: CLEAN THE REGISTRY before trying to apply the shortcuts.
  • [TEXT] Temporary file name generation: selfmade function based on CoCreateGuid() works so much faster that a process time decreased from 20-30% to 1-6%.
  • [TEXT] Selection on delete item from CListCtrl (both SetItemState(iItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED) and SetSelectionMark(iItem).

  • [EDUCATION] Get prepared for the tasks to accept them from students. Make a check list.

  • [AMERICA] Wrote BRAGIN to figure out if they can make me American documents. BRAGIN said they can't. They're only able to make me an international student. Which is probably right solution.

  • [TEXT] Dialog period prompts.
  • [TEXT] All the dialogs CEdit number fields are restricted to maximum two character length.
  • [TEXT] Fix stop-all handler. (Added a critical section into CRSSSource and stopped using Lock() and Unlock() from CKThread. Also in CRSSSource reordered DeallocateFetcher with m_pFeed→Stop()). (Plus I made asynchronous stop -- no need to wait on single object -- the very thread kills itself before return 0 on suicide event).
  • [BODY] 10km (9pm)
    • August 28 2008 Thu
     
  • Mom finally stopped talking to me. It's her decision. It happened after I said I need to know what should I do after reading a mail from you to earn 30kRUR by the end of the month. She said she isn't capable to do that.

  • [TEXT] Change invalidate() call by WM_SELECT_SOURCE message.
  • [TEXT] Change invalidate() call by WM_CLEAR_INFO message.
  • [TEXT] Text file source state notification.
  • [TEXT] Task (on source delete) memoleak. (It was that I didn't delete pTask after using it as a temporary object in CProject::ModifyTask()).
  • [TEXT] Throw messages with Source Memory Pointer, not the String name. Because while message is being transefered to a window, source name can be already deleted.
  • [TEXT] Fixed CPU high load: CLoader didn't actually initialize update event handle, so the WaitForSingleObject(pThis→m_hUpdate, dwWaitTime) didn't wait a single second, instead it was a classic 100%-CPU loop.
  • [TEXT] Showed the program to IG Tarancev and V Dulepov simultaneously.
  • [TEXT] All the dialogs with an appropriate icon.
  • [TEXT] Intermediate error-state. (CTextFileSource)

  • [TEXT] Fix fetch over CHTTPFile which doesn't work now because of async RSS or don't use fucked up rsses. (I fixed the fetch scheme.)
  • [TEXT] Fix CHttpFile leak on invalid urls. (CInternetException::Delete())
  • [TEXT] CHttpFetcher::Fetch(): `Temp dump + Move' scheme. (Redesigned OpenFile() and CloseFile() procedures so as they open tmp file and on close moves tmp file to actual file.)
  • [TEXT] Fix constant memory usage increase.

  • [TEXT] Delete SOURCE: might take a while and should not fuck the GUI up. Make it immediate.
  • [TEXT] GUI: erase text content when removing source. Same with task.
  • [TEXT] GUI: Task list must be without state icons (cause it always runs).
  • [TEXT] RSSFeed Loader: Don't assign null IXMLDOMDocument to m_pDomDocument even if it is a fresher version of the pointer.
  • [TEXT] Test with tasks (threads critical sections).
    • August 25 2008 Mon
     
  • [AUTO PARK] Met the boss at Demakova park. He said that I must work 24 hours each 3rd day. But I can't work the whole day. (Job and university at day time.)
  • [AUTO PARK] #2: they also need me to work 24 hours once in three days. And they also need a old-aged man. So I'ma to the gas station tomorrow.
  • [TEXT] CKThread: Delayed death (addref, release). I did this, but after that I realized I should do it within COM (RSSFeed is to be releasable).
  • [TEXT] GUI: Select by keyboard arrows.
  • [TEXT] GUI: autoadjustable columns.
  • [TEXT] GUI: add error state (IsLoadedSuccessfully() == false).

  • [TEXT] Figured out that IXMLDomDocument doesn't work in asynchronous mode at all.
  • [TYPOGRAPHY] Rode to the Orange elephant typography and realized they actually are not lying to me. They don't have work for me to give. Sasha wrote down my mobile phone in case they have a job -- he will call me.
  • [GAS STATION] Negotiated with a woman to meet on tuesday (26th of september 2008) at 10am.
  • [AUTO PARK] Negotiated with a man to meet on sunday (24th of september 2008) at 6pm.
    • August 22 2008 Fri
     
  • [TEXT] CFont leaks. (Somehow CTEXTView::OnClose() wasn't called, I moved font removing font to CTEXTView::OnDestroy()).
  • [PHONE] Check memory leaks on random calls (use TaskInfo tool).
  • [TEXT] Undo Selected Always.
  • [TEXT] Default last updated value for rss feed source is 99 days.
  • [TEXT] No edit ability in the source list.
  • [TEXT] (!) Program doesn't exit. GUI disappears but some threads continue working. Happens if RSS SOURCE can't load the document. NSU wasn't working -- application could not load document and couldn't exit. NSU started working and application began to exit. (Do it simple -- just pass finite period to wait for single object func).
  • [TEXT] (!) Test TEXT_PROVIDER\BRAIN\RFC 822 (rfc822) - STANDARD FOR .... (Probably because of filename: on open it thows exception.)
    • August 21 2008 Thu
     
  • [PHONE] Ask Sergey about redesigning settings log file dialog logs behaviour.
  • [PHONE] [Bar] section MUST be optional, not obligatory.
  • [PHONE] If settings bar section contains textbox -- don't accept that settings file.
  • [PHONE] Make random calls stress test.
  • [PHONE] Release 1.0.0.6.
  • [TEXT] Don't leave *bak shit everywhere. Crap it down at the module location (Use CFileSystem::ToAbsoluteFromModule). (I just rebuild RssScheduleGeneratorLib to stop saving rss on disk).
  • [TEXT] GUI: Combobox selection (mouse + keyboard). (Add by Add-Button push).
  • [TEXT] Changed ifndef-def-endif to pragma once.
  • [TEXT] GUI: Combobox selection: remove digits. Select by value.

    • August 20 2008 Wed
     
  • [NEW ROOM] Fixed problem about Natalya Nikolaevna curiosity if I'm in magistracy or not. I gave her a receipt from dean's office.
  • [PHONE] Found out the crash cause: file throws exception because it can't be opened. This exception can't be caught!. It happens because some code damages memory. It writes zeros out of bounds.
  • [PHONE] Fix accidental crash in accepting mode. {Memory bombing}
  • [PHONE] Fix crash on exit by string release exception. {Memory bombing}
  • [PHONE] Total amount is zero while variant calls -- not (after refresh). {Memory bombing}
  • [PHONE] Topmost unhandled exception: localize.
  • [PHONE] GUI: ON_WM_HELPINFO: just return TRUE;.
  • [PHONE] GUI: multiple dialog call -- don't show any dialog some dialog is already being shown.
  • [PHONE] GUI: settings dialog -- make it shorter, not so long in height.
  • [PHONE] GUI: if user clicks cancel, I should rollback the language.
  • [PHONE] Settings.DeactivateLines: set default values for all the members in line, not only m_bUse.
  • [PHONE] Input params in Settings: address array elements: verify that array count isn't zero.
  • [PHONE] If failed to dump bars or textboxes -- stop the application.
    • August 19 2008 Tue
     
  • [PHONE] Release 1.0.0.5.

  • [PHONE] Release 1.0.0.4.

  • [GROCERIES] + bought aroma lemon candles.
  • Slept from 2am till 7pm which is 15 hours of nap and totally helpfull for my fight against desease.
    • August 16 2008 Sat
     
  • [PHONE] LOG: rewrite Result log naming so as it doesn't Replace report tag by result tag. Instead do the following: 
    strResLog = m_Settings.GetLogDir() + RESULT_LOG_TAG + reportLog.GetTimeStamp;
  • [PHONE] Settings: Unused line: maximum one param's needed.
  • [NEW ROOM] Hanged up a bathroom shelf.
    • August 15 2008 Fri
     
  • [PHONE] Language: Switching GUI control is COMBOBOX.
  • [PHONE] Language: Selection behaviour: The whole GUI changes its language on click to new language. Not on dialog first start. (Having two resource dll-s in one project it is hard to add variables on dialog resource. Easier to make a new dialog. That is what I did.)
  • [PHONE] AboutBox: make auto-generated by Sergey class which pulls info from resources.
  • [PHONE] Make new release.
  • [PHONE] Settings: convert string to double correctly so as it converts comma too. (CString.Replace(_T(","), _T(".")))
  • [PHONE] GUI: Settings dialog: border overlapping.
  • [PHONE] GUI: Cut the digits before lanugages in Combobox.
  • [PHONE] LOG: do not work with any settings file but ".SLPhoneProj".
  • [PHONE] LOG: Modify system log entries so as params are written on the right side.
  • [PHONE] LOG: Localize result log.
  • [PHONE] LOG: Report log works over append, not the temp file. (So open file each time you want to write a line there).
  • [NEW ROOM] Moved almost totally (only a couple boxed left in old room). Took the whole night (about 10 hours).
    • August 14 2008 Thu
     
  • [NEW ROOM] Dragged in a bed. Decided to take the floor-cover from the current appartments.
  • [TEXT] Make fast start (start threads after GUI init). Actually the binary starts very fast. No need to fix it.
  • [TEXT] New scheme of fetching rss (to avoid possible HTTPFile wrong encoding detection). 1. XML.Load. Fail-HTTPFile.Fetch, XML.Load(localfile); Succeeded-OK.
  • [TEXT] Many-many rss feed files write their xml-header encoding in way they want -- not in the standard way. So, if XML.IsLoadSucceeded returns false we should replace
  • [PHONE] First application-startup for testers. (See the suggestions below).
  • [PHONE] Choose icons (main, stop, accept, error).
  • [PHONE] Insert icons into application.
  • [PHONE] Make sure error->ok transition is available.
  • [PHONE] First item 100%-procent issue. (Was that if all calls > 1.0 but needs to be all calls >= 1.0)
  • [PHONE] [!] Relative path (to settings -- not to exe). (Plus recursive path create.)
  • [PHONE] For line it is not obligatory to have a sound.
    • August 13 2008 Wed
     
  • [NEW ROOM] Got keys from Natalia Nikolaevna.
  • [TEXT] Make tooltips not-blinking. (Dirty and quick solution is to set only a short summary of text to the tooltip, not the whole huge amount of text.) (LUCKILY, I didn't have to use CToolTipCtrl to AdjustRect() and to write all the logic for this procedure. I just tried TOOLINFO.uFlags |= TTF_TRANSPARENT and it became not blinking!)
  • [TEXT] Fix fetch: make http file work. (condition to continue trying to fetch is: Read() > 0 (each time) || nCurLength < nTotalLength. So if nCurLength became greater than nTotalLength — we still have to fetch until Read() returns <1.)
  • [TEXT] Write a wrapper over CHTTPFile to fetch rss. (CHTTPFetcher)
  • [TEXT] Implement the rss-fetch scheme.
  • [TEXT] [!] Do the fetch file save via textfile, not the CFile.
  • [NEW ROOM] Dragged out the two-level bed.
    • August 12 2008 Tue
     
  • [LINEN].
  • [TEXT] Add critical sections for tasks and sources (when delete sources tasks can't access 'em).
  • [TEXT] CString::IsLocked() issue. (This is probably about count management. CString data is deleted when nobody keeps it anymore. But if it works so smart why the hell it throws exceptions? Probably will dissappear after critical section addition. Probably it won't dissappear. It might be LockBuffer(), UnlockBuffer()). I beleive this shit happens when one thread reads string content and another thread tries to write the exact same string simultaneously. So I put critical section into CKThread so as all the data is control by this critical section. So if one part of all the data members is being read/written -- no any data can be read/written simultaneously. It waits until the program pointer leaves the current section.
  • [TEXT] Add RSS-add-dialog.
  • [TEXT] Load/Save functions for the RSS.
  • [TEXT] Source/Categories/TimeSpan setters (they actually change feed/filter properties).
  • [TEXT] Fix GUI: On Modify button the whole GUI hangs up if update procedure takes a while.
  • [TEXT] Rewrote every single operation with char so as it became WCHAR in the whole RssScheduleGeneratorLib namespace.
  • [TEXT] Fix Russian letters in tooltips: they are shown as '?'. (It was non-Unicoded application).
  • [TEXT] Fixed time parsing procedure for the unicode chars.
  • [TEXT] Fix security lab fetching.
  • [TEXT] Fix category filtering: Added categories doesn't affect IRSSTask::GetMatchedItems(). (Date filtering works good.)
  • [TEXT] Fix datestamps: two digits per number. (This is a very simple thing: CString.Format(_T("%02d"), number); — much nicer than I use to write like if less then ten I put format string like 0d otherwise I put d).
  • Ate a whole bunch of cucumbers.
    • August 11 2008 Mon
     
  • [TEXT] Rewrote getters/setters in order to avoid using dangerous pointers. Only CProject is allowed to decide wheather data can be set or get. So there is no crash on NULL-pointers or deleted pointers. Also I stop every class's thread in most bottom derived class so that the top one doesn't call up virtual void Work(); of the bottom one when it is already deleted.
  • [TEXT] Add tooltips for each item in each list row.
  • [TEXT] All the file-path edit-boxes are READ-ONLY.
  • [TEXT] Combo-box is without write permission.
  • [TEXT] Modify source autoupdate now (same with task).
  • [TEXT] Modify on double click (sources, tasks).
  • [TEXT] Update period is hh:mm:ss (both in sources and tasks). Set similar period string to the CListCtrl.
  • [BODY] 10km (9.05pm)

    • August 9-10 2008 Sat-Sun
     
  • Had a great-great job weekends at the Typography. Earnt 0.5kRUR. Met people who really work. Even to talk for them is to work -- to move their hands.
  • [GROCERIES].
    • August 08 2008 Fri
     
  • [TEXT] Make add-task-dialog with list of sources so the user could click - not write the code.
  • [TEXT] Delete task (both from CListCtrl and Registry). Gosh! The CAtlArray does not say delete to pointers it owns. So, the Remove(int index) code snippet has to be enlarged to: 
    X* pX = m_List.GetAt(i);
m_List.RemoveAt(i);
if(pX)
	delete pX;
    This made my application leak so much.

    One more hard issue is that RegDeleteTree() if put into source code without linking Advapi32.lib into additional dependencies just crashes the whole Studio Framework.

    • August 07 2008 Thu
     
  • [TEXT] Fix the GetText()/SetText() issue. (It was call by instance not by pointer to instance.)
  • [TEXT] Get cmd params. (Gotta comment ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo); in order to have those shell params, otherwise application treat params as files to be opened and when it can't open 'em it automatically closes. So, just comment the func call.)
  • [TEXT] Describe all the pictures in SLTelephone and send 'em to Sergey.
  • [TEXT] Save function for the TXT-source.
  • [TEXT] Add tasks (strings with tags). (CTask, CDlgNewTask)
  • [TEXT] Save function for the task.
  • [TEXT] Parse task format into readable text using sources text.
  • [TEXT] Load functions for the TXT-source.
  • [TEXT] Load functions for the tasks.
  • [C++] Figure out if there is a must to write virtual ~Destructor() if a class is derived from another one. YES, there is a MUST to declare all the destructors virtual in order for derived object to be destroyed (upper objects are also going to be).
    • August 06 2008 Wed
     
  • [TEXT] Created a dialog for the TXT source add.
  • [TEXT] Wrote CBaseSource and CTextFileSource.
  • [BODY] 10km (9.05pm)
  • Met parents who was going back from Altai to Krasnoyarsk. We had a lunch (even ate a cake!). Mom gave me a haircut. We did groceries shopping. Then I came back to the work and found out that amazing trick about GetText()/SetText() in CTextFileSource.
    • August 05 2008 Tue
     
  • Exchange linen.
  • Negotiated the question about parents to stay on Wednesday.
  • Finally I take a new small room. I'm moving there till August, 18th.
  • [PHONE] Log rename: if dirrectory does not exist is it going to be created or what? (Yes, we should create that dirrectory manually or logs aren't going to be renamed.) Use CreateDirectory(strDirName, rights or NULL(in most cases)). Create directory (even if already exists) on [General] section parse.
  • [PHONE] Hide away popup menu on UNFOCUS. (Before TrackPopupMenu() call, do the SetForegroundWindow() and after TrackPopupMenu() do PostMessage(WM_NULL, 0, 0))
  • [PHONE] Timeout in whole numbers.
  • [PHONE] Paths without .., .
  • [PHONE] Add new variable to [General] section: number of digits after period in procent numbers.
  • [PHONE] Add proc variables. (This was a very challenging bugfix: to make rounded procent make 100% after summing. Based on show final value = 100% - all_the_rest)
  • [PHONE] Released. Listened to Sergey and figured out how to make a New Release, how to forward issue to +Testing, to create/close issues and so on.
  • [TEXT] Acquired new project — TextProvider which is a server to provide text (from RSS, from local file system file, and so on) to many another programs (such as OnAir, TitleDesigner and so on and so on). The GUI is SDI with two FeaturePack CDockablePanel windows one per sources and tasks.

  • [TEXT] Put toolbar control inside Tasks window title.
  • [TEXT] Dock panes on first draw (can't dock it on create).
    • August 04 2008 Mon
     
  • [PHONE] Test on settings file absence. (Should go to error state). (! After adding resource string with identifier like IDS_BLAH_BLAH it is better to re-read .sln project, otherwise CString.LoadString(IDS_BLAH_BLAH) returns an empty string. And if I show that string in a balloon tooltip the balloon does not show up because of empty body string. OR just do the complete rebuild: ctrl+alt+f7.)
  • [PHONE] Test on RGN file absence. (Should go to error state).
  • [PHONE] Test on division by zero.
  • [PHONE] Test on absence of textboxes in region file.
  • [PHONE] Path: make absolute path working.
  • [PHONE] Clear out which settings have to be re-read on Refresh: [General: Output, Timeout, Barsize, Bar4all] [LineS: all] All the settings connected with REGION file aren't to be REFRESHED. They can be only re-read on START after STOP.

    So, all the classes have to have Start()/Stop()/Refresh() procedures work with their inner STARTED state: Start() does total initialization. And sets the STARTED flag to true. Stop() does vice versa -- it deinitializes all the resources and sets STARTED flag to false. Finally, Refresh() updates only allowed to update variables in STARTED state and all the variables in STOPPED state but does not set STARTED flag.


  • [PHONE] CStatGenerator::RefreshRegionBars(). (waiting on new RGN COM-object release)
  • [PHONE] Validate RGN file by Bar settings (all bars from settings MUST exist in region file; all of 'em MUST have sizes not equal to zero). (waiting on new RGN COM-object release)
  • [PHONE] Fix update period: on re-read settings kill and settimer with new period.
  • [BODY] 10km (9.25pm)

  • [PHONE] (RUS) Menu items text setting and check and enable.
  • [PHONE] (RUS) All the strings within the code have to be within resources.
  • [PHONE] (RUS) CLangInfo + save/load from registry.
  • [PHONE] (RUS) Russian Library with the same resources.
  • [PHONE] (RUS) Final Russification Check (radio buttons default state, DlgItems are long enough to contain both languages text).
  • [PHONE] Fixed calls calculation (there was a misprint and also added GetLineCalls, GetVariantCalls).
    • JULY
     

    Pay appartments bills (+). Perform some really great project nicely so as I get a commercial project (+). Write the laundry system in order to have some money to be able to support myself (takes time to write the code which I don't have because I already write the SLTelephone).

    July 31 2008 Thu
     
  • Found a job offer for weekends. Call tomorrow and figure out when exactly I'm going to work.
  • [PHONE] PhoneLine: if a asychronous procedure returned !OK it means it is not accepted to be executed and call this procedure later (until it returns OK). Then, don't use m_bIsBusy to check operation completion. Instead, call WaitForCompletion(port, 0) == OK. (This makes Release version Take(), Play() and Drop() correctly.)
  • [PHONE] PhoneStation: Ignore calls (true/false) when some inner procedure does inner settings PhoneStation shouldn't accept calls.
  • [PHONE] +General.Barsize, +General.Bar4all
  • [PHONE] Make logs generated into path specified in General section.
  • [PHONE] System Log: timestamps, only related info (no LINESTATE info).
  • [PHONE] Safe log writing (rename on close + SHARE_READ).
  • [PHONE] Result log: every Timeout period is re-generated.
  • [PHONE] Sergey GUI remarks (Browse button, Ok-Cancel buttons colocation, about-exit separator, settings file → settings...; Language choice in settings dialog).
  • [PHONE] Got to know about ATLTRACE: writes to OUTPUT (like a cmd.exe but within Studio Wnd).
  • [PHONE] REGION FILE: if I try to put unknown TEXT by not existing ID into RGN file -- it return S_OK but the application goes down with an exception.
  • [PHONE] Bar settings section: work out a simplification question. He agreed (HBARL2R → HL)
  • [PHONE] Parser Bar section: bLeftTop, bHor, nVariant, strBarName.
  • [BODY] 10km (9.30pm)
    • July 30 2008 Wed
     
  • [PHONE] Fix Release: make it hangup. (It doesn't send LINE_IDLE after LINE_OFFHOOK) Actually it was incorrect IsOperationCompleted(): not only m_bIsBusy has to be checked but also VoiceBoard_WaitForCompletion(port, 0) != NotYetCompleted as a MUST.
  • [PHONE] Whole file length play (dwPlayTime=0, HasStartedPlaying() && IsOperationCompleted()).
  • [PHONE] Generate TGA (like RESULT file but a little different content).
  • [PHONE] Telephone station class with telephone lines (Initialize(), Shutdown(), AddCall(), etc..).
  • [PHONE] Stat Generator class (RefreshImage())
  • [PHONE] Region section to Text section. exe-name to SLTelephone.exe.
  • They finally took me into salary. Though this salary isn't salary at all still I'll be capable to survive from starving.
    • July 29 2008 Tue
     
  • [PHONE] Fix Release version: doesn't take the phone (actually doesn't show LINE_RINGING state). FIXED by setting ringing state directly accepting Windows message.
  • [PHONE] Draw a region file (textboxes).
  • [PHONE] Refresh: do NOT reset statistics. Just reread LINE sections.
  • [PHONE] Hide balloon procedure.
  • [PHONE] Recommutated telephone wires.

  • [PHONE] Generate REPORT_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.log file.
  • [PHONE] Generate RESULT_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.log file.
  • [PHONE] Add Answers section. So as the info becomes normalized: we have indeces for the answers -- why do we have to repeat (and do mistakes) exact text answers? (They don't need text answers at all.)
  • [PHONE] Answering without threads (don't be a girl, just do it quickly, you already did it with threads and without 'em it is way easier).
  • [PHONE] Wrote Project html for PHEL for the klopix site.

  • [RSS] SDK: describe ways to change managers' content (feeds, filters, tasks).
  • [RSS] Check if the library isn't registered then close application.
  • [RSS] Change all functions names to starting from capital letters.
  • [RSS] Fix Lenta.ru retrieve: write 'em (they have DOCTYPE of RSS 0.91 but they write rss version="2.0" → syntax error.) (http://feedvalidator.org/)
  • [RSS] (Fixed) Bash.org.ru task from local file system leads RSSR to crash on load.
    • July 21 2008 Mon
     
  • [RSS] Listened to Vladimir (Dulepov) how to build the COM object. He suggested avoiding manual code writing. Use designer right-mouse-click assistance (add class, add method). Also he told to avoid using any STL containers such as vector, list, map or whatever. Use CAtlArray (#include <atlcoll.h>) instead.
  • [RSS] Launched a Lenta class as a COM object for the first time (which also means that I wrote it as a COM object first).
  • [RSS] Fixed: autoupdate didn't reincarnate after setting positive period (forgot to say StartWatchDog()).
  • [RSS] Autoupdate period edit control on GUI form. Numerical spin.
  • [RSS] SLRSSReader SDK.
  • [BODY] 10km (8.30pm)

  • Had a whole party with parents.
  • [RSS] COM IDL learning.
    • July 17 2008 Thu
     
  • [RSS] Try Use case: Push update → go Feeds → delete the running feed → save the project and then load it. Feed doesn't exist. What the task manager is going to load? If a task (underlying feed) is running it can't be deleted by the property page (before delete it asks the running state). That seems pretty nice behaviour.
  • [RSS] Implement NSU date (yyyy-dd-mm).
  • [RSS] Implement Google date (Unicode months).
  • [RSS] Fix Use Case: filter's name.
  • [RSS] Fix Use Case: filter's category.
    • July 16 2008 Wed
     
  • Work out the dometry rent question: go there anytime from 10 to 17.30 but 1am-2am.
  • Took 7 grands from mom's bank account for Vadim.
  • [RSS] Fix property page lock on feed update: do the xml load outside critical section with the address specified earlier.
  • [RSS] SetPeriod feature: if period given equals zero then stop autoupdate. Then if given a positive period start the auto update again.
  • [RSS] Autoupdate Task Property Page: after Feeds or Filters Property page workout I update TaskPropertyPage cause I could change some filter or feed name.
  • [RSS] When I update some tasks I go to Feed Property Page and I wanna see that some of 'em are running at the moment (which is true). [It was in CRSSFeed::stop() m_bState = false right after I set m_hSuicide but not really when the thread finished. Now it is after the thread is finished.]
  • [RSS] Many Task One Feed Lazy Update (update the feed only once).
  • [RSS] Eat all the line returns from content.
  • [RSS] Do the usual edit box behaviour (why the hell it goes gray after SetWindowText() operation. I'm totally sure it is the property page tricks. Activate() and Deactivate() methods make others controls invisible. It was simple: I painted property page on a rect of the whole dialog which of course caused the overlapping with the editbox. Now I put a static control and paint the property page upon that static window.
  • [RSS] Format each rss string so as it fits edit box width. (Just set the HScroll to false though keep Multiline, WantReturn).
  • [BODY] 10km (8.30pm)
    • July 15 2008 Tue
     
  • [RSS] Fix add feed/add filter handlers (input parameters - not empty, needed type).

    • July 14 2008 Mon
     
  • Watch my status at the nsu.ru.physical department forum: it is not going to change without my direct action. So, just go there and figure it out personally. Since Natalya Nikolaevna said we all (and me as well) need to pay now -- I can pay less or more. Just go there and work it out.
  • [RSS] Try to incapsulate all the managers (Task-, Feed-, Filter-) within CLenta and make getters for those managers so we can take those managers at any time. (RefreshGUI(), OnBnClickedFeeds(), OnBnClickedFilters(), OnCreate(), OnBnClickedSave(), OnBnClickedLoad())
  • [RSS] Fix crash on update handler with two or more feeds.
  • [RSS] Update tasks feeds: make it a single button "Update tasks". And then OnClick update all the tasks (feeds aggregated by those tasks). One more time: update ALL the tasks in the list. If an user wants to update just one task s/he needs to have only one task in the list. Feeds and filters stay untouchable if remove tasks from the list. So, you want content from only one task -- you keep only one task.
  • [RSS] New project button.
  • [RSS] Show feeds (matched) content.
  • [RSS] Change window title when new project loaded.
  • [RSS] Filter Edit handler: doesn't really edit the filter. It show different data but when I open resaved lenta project I see the same not corrected (edited) filter parameters (name). [It does edit, just push the save button after editing]

    • July 10 2008 Thu
     
  • [RSS] Task list GUI: showed tasklist property page, modified gui (removed some redundant buttons, layouted controls and buttons, simplified gui text titles).
  • [RSS] Project file: started to figure out to write XML (Node - Element - Attribute);
    pInputNode → QueryInterface(__uuidof(IXMLDOMNode), (void**)&pRootNode);
    pRootNode → get_ownerDocument(&pDomDocument);
    pDomDocument → createNode(VARIANT(.vt = VT_INT, .intVal = NODE_ELEMENT), CComBSTR("Feed"), CComBSTR( "" ), &pFeedNode);
    pFeedNode → QueryInterface(__uuidof(IXMLDOMElement), (void**)&pElement);
    pElement → setAttribute(CComBSTR("attribName"), varAttr);
    pRootNode → appendChild(pFeedNode, &pOutNewChild);
  • Bought plenty berries and fruits. Which is completely great!
    • July 9 2008 Wed
     
  • [RSS] Fix non-standart parsing (either set current if failed or parse Google and NSU formats). I set to current date. Later can implement different parsings.
  • [RSS] Check if date parsing works correct (not parsed → current). Either time & category filtering works.
  • [RSS] Instance GUI dialogs. GUI works badly (there are a lot of crushes).
