whats exactly you are looking for ?<br />
#define is Preprocessor directive that means compile time your values will be changes with whatever you define it as.<br />

yeah ms must have this someplace, probably in windows.h or something:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; #define SS_BLACKFRAME 0x07L<br />
<br />
Now I'm reading a text file that has this on a line:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;SS_BLACKFRAME&quot;<br />
<br />
I want to be able to store the defined value of SS_BLACKFRAME in a DWORD:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; DWORD dwStyle;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; dwStyle = SomeFunkyThingToTurnTheTex<wbr />tRepresent<wbr />ationIntoT<wbr />heNumericV<wbr />al(&quot;SS_BLA<wbr />CKFRAME&quot;);<wbr /><br />
<br />
Thanks

Ok just wanted to see if there was something to already translate. This should work ok though.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Is there anyway to convert a #define from a string into it's numeric value:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;SS_BLACKFRAME&quot;<br />
<br />
for instance should be intrepreted as whatever ms defined as its real numeric value:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;SS_BLACKFRAME&quot; &nbsp;= &nbsp;SS_BLACKFRAME &nbsp;= &nbsp;0x07L<br />
<br />
I'm just trying to write a small interpreter, and I don't want to have a function to translate them like:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; int TranslateDefs(CString str)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (str == &quot;SS_BLACKFRAME&quot;) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return 0x07L;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // etc...<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
<br />
Thank you

Hi,

Is there anyway to convert a #define from a string into it's numeric value:

    "SS_BLACKFRAME"

for instance should be intrepreted as whatever ms defined as its real numeric value:

    "SS_BLACKFRAME"  =  SS_BLACKFRAME  =  0x07L

I'm just trying to write a small interpreter, and I don't want to have a function to translate them like:

    int TranslateDefs(CString str)
    {
        if (str == "SS_BLACKFRAME") {
            return 0x07L;
        }
        // etc...
    }

Thank you

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
