    - Creating a unique path separator Hi, If i have a tree structure, where the names can have ANY character in them, what would be the best method for finding a 'unique series of characters' to use as a separator when writing a path to an XML file? For instance, the structure could look like this: !"=A3$%^&*()_+1234567890- QWERTYUIOP{}qwertyuiop[] ASDFGHJKL:@~asdfghjkl;'# |ZXCVBNM<>?\zxcvbnm,./`=AC then im stuck for using a single character (lets pretend that all the extended characters have been used aswell - it could happen ... and probably will when i least want it to), so i have to use two characters for the separator. But of course, all the two character combinations could have been used up aswell in a gargantuan super path! So i would need to use three (or more - getting more and more unlikely, i know). All good suggestees will have a planet named after them, James. Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266688

    - peculiar error, res.dll missing I have migrated one project from VC++ 6.0 to .NET2003(managed C++). I have modified the required code according to the .NET libraries. It is executing fine in both Debug mode as well as release mode.The name of the project is ardtd. The problem is while running the application(not from IDE). I put the exe and all the dlls required for that application. If i click on the exe file, it is supposed to execute fine but It says ardtdres.dll not found. I'm getting this error on the systems where .NET is not installed even though .NET framework is installed. If .NET is installed on the machine I'm not getting this error. Please let me know if you have any idea about this problem, Thank you in advance Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266685

    - Newbie adding COM components to a project Hi, I am an experienced java and VB6 developer and had about 2 years experience of C++ about 8 years ago (but on UNIX). I have a COM object that I have used a lot in the VB6 environment by simply adding it to the references. I am then able to refer to the objects easily and intellisense works great. I am trying to write some code in C++ but I am having problems adding the COM object to the project. I do not know where to begin. I have access to the dll and to the tlb. Is there an easy way to do this? I am currently using Visual Studio 2005 Express but may be able to get my hands on the full VS 2005 environment. Any help really appreciated.

    - error LNK2022: metadata operation failed - using Templates? I've seen several previous posts related to LNK2022 errors using templates, but I have not seen a resolution (one other person said the error goes away if he does not make his class a template, but that's not a preferred solution for me, as it wasn't for him) . I have a template LinkedList class that I can use successfully within the .Net form.h file, but if I try to access it from within another class (only in that class, no longer in the form) it compiles fine but then I get two link errors: City.obj : error LNK2022: metadata operation failed (80131187) : Inconsistent method declarations in duplicated types (types: node; methods: .ctor): (0x06000003). City.obj : error LNK2022: metadata operation failed (801311D6) : Differing number of methods in duplicated types (node): (0x02000004). I've commented out most of the lines of code so I know that this error occurs when I include a method call from with the City object to the linked list method insertAtHead. The linkedlist class (reduced for this example) is: #pragma once template <typename Item> ref class LinkedList { private: ref class node { public: node() { data = Item(); link=nullptr; } node(const Item% init_data, node ^init_link) { data = init_data; link = init_link; } Item data; node ^link; }; public: typedef node ^NodePtr; LinkedList(void); void insertAtHead(const value_type% entry); private: NodePtr head; }; and in the cpp file: template <typename Item> LinkedList<Item>::LinkedList(void) { head = nullptr; } template <typename Item> void LinkedList<Item>::insertAtHead(const Item% entry) { head = gcnew node(entry, head); } In the City class, I have: #pragma once #include "LinkedList.cpp" ref class City { public: City(System::String^ cityName); void addDest(City^ dest); private: System::String^ name; LinkedList<City^> destList; }; and in the City.cpp file: void City::addDest(City^ dest) { destList.insertAtHead(dest); } If I comment out destList.insertAtHead(dest); I no longer get the linker errors. As stated above, the LinkedList files (unmodified) work if I put the declaration of the linked list and calls to insertAtHead in my Form1.h file. Why should it make a difference if they are in my City class instead? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! cyndi Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266678

    - dllregisterserver not registering com classes I have a COM DLL (created with the ATL COM wizard). It comes with the function: // DllRegisterServer - Adds entries to the system registry STDAPI DllRegisterServer(void) { // registers object, typelib and all interfaces in typelib HRESULT hr = _AtlModule.DllRegisterServer(); return hr; } This function does get called when the object is registered, but none of the interfaces I have defined get registered. Do I need to put code in to manually register my objects? What does that function register, then? Thanks, -PaulH Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266671

    - VC++ vs. FoxPro I've generated a DLL with Visual FoxPro 9.0 and, on the other side, I've go a VC++ project wich uses DLL methods. I Copy the TLB file into VC++ project folder and the I rebuild EXE. If I create the DLL in VFP 6.0 it works ok, but if I do in VFP 9.0, when I build EXE, it says 'Function does not take <n> parameters'.

    - Urge for help in a game programming Four Win Description To program the play named "four win", the background board should consist of a lattice with 7 columns, into which in each case 6 stones fit. The playing field stands perpendicularly, so that a stone falls always widen-possible downward. The rules are : 1=2E The goal of the Game is to place four stones in a row or column wise or diagonally as a first player. 2=2E Each player receives 21 stones of his colour (pink/green). 3=2E The green player begins. 4=2E The player lets a stone fall alternating into a row. 5=2E If no more places are in a row, then this may not be selected. 6=2E Winner will be the player, who can accommodate first four stones in a continuous manner (horizontally, vertically, diagonally). 7=2E If the backboard is full and there is no certain winner, then the play ends undecided. For a better understanding go to: http://www.kielack.de/games/fourwins.htm The program is to cover the following capability characteristics: =B7 Play between two human players. =B7 Play between a human and a computer player. =B7 Play between two computer players. =B7 Each player is to extend the abstract class ,,Player ", which is available on the practical course web pages for the Download. References =B7 One can make Screenshots simply by pressing the key at the same time ,,pressure/print screen "and/or <Alt> and ,,pressure/print screen "(the screen and/or the active window copies as diagram into the intermediate file, so that these can be inserted in Word over Edit->Past as picture directly). =B7 The aim for this program is to show as simple text edition as shown in the example TicTacToe (see C++ program simpleTicTacToe.cpp). =B7 In the simplest case the computer player can make coincidental courses (see C++ program zufallszahlen.cpp (RandomNumbers). A more intelligent strategy for the computer player can be programmed according to the mini max algorithm (e.g. see. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax_algorithm). An improved variant for this algorithm is the alpha beta search (e.g. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-Beta). Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266656

    - non admin FlushFileBuffers for a volume Hi All, In our software we need to flush all the data on a removable device(disk on key). The problem is that when user is non admin we can't obtain handle to the volume using CreateFile cause of the insufficient privileges. I'm looking for a work around to cause file/cache manager to flush all the data. Btw eject is not an option for us as after flushing we are doing some operation via disk on keys firmware that cause it to show "private" folders, if we do this without flush the data is lost on Win2k machines where Performance check box is by default turned on on disk on keys.

    - Write text to, split, join, and page count tiffs Ok, this has been asked over and over again....but i have to ask because there has to be a better way (without spending $$). First things first, I'm running many (thousands of) tif images through an application I have been building. So far, i have used the Image.GetFrameCount to get page counts and write strings on images, split, and join using the graphics object. For anyone that has used either of these, it is incredibly slow especially compared to some of these 3rd party libraries that you can purchase for hundreds to thousands of dollars....seems kind of pointless to spend more than $10 on what i need to use them for. I have used FreeImage from SourceForge, and, compared to namely LeadTools, it is STILL slower for getting page counts and I cant even do any drawing using the library. What I am looking for is either a library or an example of how I can perform these actions with speed as a must. I am primarily a C# developer but can delve a little in C++. I am willing to do a little C++ code, so if that helps with a solution please dont let that be a limit. ANY help in any of these areas is much more appreciated than you can imagine.

    - Convert TCHAR to integer! Hello, As I now know that const or not, either way the parameter is accepted in the _ttoi() function. On that note... Please consider the following code: =================================================== case WM_COMMAND: if ((LOWORD(wParam) >= extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[0].CW2_CV_ID) && (LOWORD(wParam) <= extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[3].CW2_CV_ID) ) //Fetch function! UpDateSimExtrnlInputs_INT(wParam, lParam, &io, HWND_CW2_extnl_INT_INPUT_CV); ...other code .... ================================================== ===============================UpDateSimExtrnlInputs_INT() void UpDateSimExtrnlInputs_INT(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, IO *io, HWND HWND_CW2_extnl_INT_INPUT_CV[]) { int k; //TCHAR szBufferINPUT[] = _T("12345"); Tried it ! Gives error! TCHAR szBufferINPUT[10]; //Declare 10 character array SendMessage( (HWND) lParam, WM_GETTEXT, 5, (LPARAM)szBufferINPUT ); //Get the text in the control //The next line should convert the string buffer to an integer k = _ttoi(szBufferINPUT); //This line gives the error! } ===================================================== Here is the error that I get: c:\_DTS_PROGRAMMING\C_PROGRAMMING\vc++\MY_APPS_LAB\XPPLC\WndProc_CW2.cpp(780): error C3861: '_ttoi': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup I have re-posted this question, and the fellows that answered the previous post are very welcome to continue with it and I will more that willingly work on all your feedback. I find the previous post had too many topics and I was getting confused that's all! :) I don't disagree with you Brian, hence, yes, gosh, Yes we are in trouble! I know that the TEXT macro is defined in a few ways like as: #define _T(x) __T(x) and so that's where David got the following line: TCHAR szBufferINPUT[] = _T("12345"); But I get an error on this... c:\_DTS_PROGRAMMING\C_PROGRAMMING\vc++\MY_APPS_LAB\XPPLC\WndProc_CW2.cpp(768): error C3861: '_T': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup But you see that SendMessage() will get different text from different controls. So: TCHAR szBufferINPUT[] = _T("12345"); can't be so. The buffer has to be filled in with a new values everytime. And I did try it if you look at the above code! Anyways I still would appreciate some help on this topic! Thankyou news groups! -- Best regards Robert -- Best regards Robert Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266627

    - Convert TCHAR to const char? Hello, I have the following sendMessage that returns text and is stored in a string of TCHAR type. ============================================== TCHAR szBufferINPUT[10]; SendMessage( (HWND) lParam, WM_GETTEXT, 5, (LPARAM)szBufferINPUT ); ============================================== Now, I need to convert this text string to an integer type.... So I fugure to go with the atoi function! But the atoi takes in a const char! I looked in many books for explanations on conversions from TCHAR to const char.... ya right! Haven't found one! So I searched the WIndows help and came up with this: "Remarks These functions convert a character string to a double-precision, floating-point value (atof and _wtof), an integer value (atoi, _atoi64, _wtoi and _wtoi64), or a long integer value (atol and _wtol). " So I guess my choice would be atoi or _wtoi right? in either case I getthe following errors respectively: c:\_DTS_PROGRAMMING\C_PROGRAMMING\vc++\MY_APPS_LAB\XPPLC\WndProc_CW2.cpp(773): error C2664: '_wtoi' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'TCHAR' to 'const wchar_t *' c:\_DTS_PROGRAMMING\C_PROGRAMMING\vc++\MY_APPS_LAB\XPPLC\WndProc_CW2.cpp(773): error C2664: 'atoi' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'TCHAR' to 'const char *' Can anyone show me what I need to do for this to work along with a breif explaination so I can get one step closer to fully understand data types and their conversions! A little discouraged although axious to learn! All suggestions appreciated! -- Kind regards Robert Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266613

    - Quick question! Hello, Say I have a break point on the following line of code: ============================================= static TCHAR szBufferINPUT[10]; for(i=0;i<4;i++) { HWND_CW2_extnl_INT_INPUT_CV[i] = CreateWindow( TEXT ("edit"), TEXT("zero"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE, extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[i].ExtnlMVarLeft, extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[i].ExtnlMVarTop, extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[i].ExtnlMVarRight, extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[i].ExtnlMVarBottom, hwnd,(HMENU)extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[i].CW2_CV_ID, ((LPCREATESTRUCT) lParam)->hInstance,NULL); } =============================================== When the program execution stops at the line above and I view the locals variables watch, the value of the handle returned from the above statement at this point is 244842618. Obviously, I only look at the first control for now... so at, say when i = 0. So later in my code I click on the first edit control and I have another break point in the code handling for this control as done so in the following code: ================================================= case WM_COMMAND: if ((LOWORD(wParam) >= extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[0].CW2_CV_ID) && (LOWORD(wParam) <= extnl_INT_INPUT_MVars[3].CW2_CV_ID) ) SendMessage( //***BREAKPOINT HERE*** (HWND) lParam, EM_GETLINE, 0, (LPARAM) szBufferINPUT ); ================================================= why is it that if I put a break point at SendMessage() line above, the value of lParam is not 244842618? It is 3212454 instead? Isn't lParam the child control's handle? Atleast this is what I read! Okay, okay... I actually read that it was the child Window handle! But isn't that the same thing? Why the different handle values? And the second part of my question is that I am trying to retreive the value from my edit control.... As you see as I create my edit controls I insert a default value of "zero" in them! Why is it that when I run the code above and when I put my cursor over the szBufferINPUT in the following line of code I get "". Means it is reading nothing when I expected a "zero" to be read? SendMessage( (HWND) lParam, EM_GETLINE, 0, (LPARAM) szBufferINPUT ); =================================================== [2nd Part of my question] Also, I have gone through this 6 months ago with some sympathetic news groups fellows and it still gets the best of me because everytime I see this I sort of generate a fear of it. But now that it is facing me one more time, I shall persue more knowledge on it! ***DATA TYPES!*** Okay, lest try this again! If I may politely ask you to be patient, god knows you all have! :) ***All the edit controls I have created can hold up to 4 characters max! The help files for the EM_GETLINE message says: "lParam Pointer to the buffer that receives a copy of the line. Before sending the message, set the first word of this buffer to the size, in TCHARs, of the buffer. For ANSI text, this is the number of bytes; for Unicode text, this is the number of characters. The size in the first word is overwritten by the copied line." But when we look at the prototype of this function it says that lParam should take a (LPARAM) or a (LPCTSTR) type right? But LPCTSTR has been defined as so in the WINNT.H of the Windows files: =============================================== typedef CONST WCHAR * LPCWCH, * PCWCH, * LPCWSTR, * PCWSTR and then: #ifdef UNICODE ....other type def's... typedef LPCWSTR LPCTSTR =============================================== So if I declare my string buffer in TCHARs as stipulated above! static TCHAR szBufferINPUT[10]; //Space for 10 characters! then how does the prototype parameter accept a TCHAR when it should accept a LPCTSTR? Because as typedefed above, if LPCTSTR is defined as a LPCWSTR type and further LPCWSTR is defined as a CONST WCHAR type so then, how is does the CONST WCHAR type defined as a TCHAR type, which is what we need right? Could this have something to do why I read "" instead of "zero" in the 1st part of my question? Sorry for the lenghty post! All help appreciated..... P.S. Sorry for the numerous postings, this month its like almost every line I try, turns up to be a many hours snag! -- Best regards Roberto Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266605

    - const std::map reference and __declspec property Inside my class, I'm maintaining a private map like this: std::map< unsigned long, AuthorizedDatabase > m_authorizedDatabases; The idea is to expose this as a property and be able to reference individual elements using a syntax like this: AuthorizedDatabase db = x.AuthorizedDatabases[0x09000112]; Currently, I had a failed attempt at this using a property and an accessor method: const std::map< unsigned long, AuthorizedDatabase >& GetAuthorizedDatabases() const; __declspec( property( get=GetAuthorizedDatabases ) ) const std::map< unsigned long, AuthorizedDatabase >& AuthorizedDatabases; This obviously won't work because I'm returning a const map reference and the operator[] is non-const because it can modify the map. I'd rather not return a non-const reference that could be modified, and I'd also like to avoid returning a complete copy of the map. Is there any container class better suited to this that has an operator[] that can be used on a const version of the object? Alternatively, is there a better way to go about accomplishing this?

    - "edit" control is read only? Hello, I am using the edit class as I am creating a control as so: ============================================== static HWND HWND1; LRESULT xxx; HWND1 = CreateWindow( TEXT ("edit"), TEXT("zero"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE, 10,10,50,30, hwnd,(HMENU)800, (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hwnd,GWL_HINSTANCE),NULL); //Set the control as non read only! xxx = SendMessage( (HWND) HWND1, // handle to destination control (UINT) EM_SETREADONLY, // message ID (WPARAM) false, // = (WPARAM) () wParam; (LPARAM) 0); // = 0; not used, must be zero ); =================================================== Can anyone tell me why the edit control created with CreateWindow appears as read only. I don't see a flashing cursor in the control, nor can I type text in it! I know the above code is not much for you fellows to work with, however before I spend 4 hours reducing my project to a few compilable lines, If I may politely ask! I was just wondering if someone had this problem already where its solution would be an obvious and simplistic one! If not well, just let me know and its no problem, I will crunch it down to more of an analysable and compilable size! Also, xxx reurns a 1, apparently if the function fails, it should return a 0. So I guess my control is not set as read only! But why is it still read only? My code is 99% the same as the POPPAD1.C from M. Petzold's hand book! P.396. The only difference is that as a whole, my application is much larger and I am doing this on a child window where as he is doing it on the main wndProc window. I don't think this should make a difference.... But I could be wrong! All feedback for this is appreciated. Wish you all a nice day! :) -- Best regards Robert Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266560

Some say to explicitly export an instantiation (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q168958/) for vectors, but the remaining STL classes cannot be exported. Others have suggested disabling the warning or explicitly exporting instantiations of all related STL classes (http://www.unknownroad.com/rtfm/VisualStudio/warningC4251.html). What's the general consensus on using the various STL classes from across DLL boundaries? Thanks, -Matthew Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266558

    - returning a char buffer from com object I have a COM object with a method: STDMETHODIMP CIMyAPI::GetValueA(CHAR * string, UINT * nMaxLen) { *nMaxLen = sprintf_s(string, *nMaxLen, "Hello"); return S_OK; } but, when I call this method from a class that instantiates my COM object like this: SomeFunction() { IIMyAPIPtr pIMyAPI; //... CHAR stringA[32] = {'\0'}; UINT len = sizeof(stringA); hr = pIMyAPI->GetValueA(stringA, &len); //... } stringA just contains "H" and not "Hello". So, how do I get a buffer in and out of a COM object? -PaulH If it helps, my IDL definition for this function is: [id(4), helpstring("method GetValueA")] HRESULT GetValueA([out] CHAR * string, [in,out] UINT * nMaxLen); Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266549

    - Slow function I'm creating an application that will be calling a function that takes about a minute or so to process some data. What is the standard procedure for doing something like this in Windows? I don't want the Graphical User Interface to freeze up or anything like that. I'm guessing that I can create a new thread to call the function using CreateThread and then pop up a modal dialog box telling the user to wait. Or is there a better way of doing this? Thank you.

    - creating a .tlb to for a COM DLL I'm working on a COM object DLL with VS2005, it compiles fine with no errors or warnings and registers okay, but no .tlb file is created with it. When I go to import it with a test app (#import "mydll.dll"), I get the compiler error "fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'mydll.dll': Error loading type library/DLL." I assume it's because there's no .tlb associated with it??? Because midl is build in to VS2005, I figured everything would "just work". I am using the /tlb "mydll.tlb" option and I have all the error-checking options turned on. Is there something else I need to do? Is there an obvious thing I'm doing wrong, perhaps? I did notice that midl, on warning lv 4 only, does have 32 warnings about "warning MIDL2111 : identifier length exceeds 31 characters :". Would that keep the .tlb from forming?

    - multifile program organization All my previous programs have had the classes and main() in the same .cpp file. For the first time, I have separated the classes into header (.h) and source (.cpp) files. My general question is: if I want to have two separate application programs (i.e. main() ) that will use these classes, what is the standard way of organizing the various files? Should I (1) add a new workspace to the original project folder, thereby, having two workspaces and their respective files in the same project folder? (2) add a new project folder to the original folder? (3) put the class files in a separate folder, then have two separate project folders for the two different application programs? I would just like to know what the standard practice is. (I use MS VC 6.0.) Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266526

    - On runtimes, string wrapping and vs7 / vs8 Hi all. We have a dll with an api that use std::strings for a bunch of things. It worked fine as long as you match the application & library runtimes. Unfortunately, not all of our customers can match the runtimes due to other restrictions such as other dll:s, mfc stuff etc. So we made an effort to wrap the stuff we needed to wrap, ensuring that heap-allocated things whould get allocated / deallocated in the same heap. With VS2003, it worked like a charm. The developers were happy, tech support was even more happy, and the customers were not complaining as much as they used to. Then came VS2005, and our wrapping solution doesn't work anymore. The problems occur when you use a release-mode dll compiled with VS2003 with a debug-mode application compiled with VS2005. Now, I can imagine that our solution really is pushing it a bit, but I'd love to get some details on why it doesn't work. The solution relies on that the inline functions of the library objects gets compiled with the application code, and the objects will have some functions compiled with VS2003 and some with VS2005. My guess would be that there are some differences in object layout between VS2003 and debug mode VS2005, since the errors we get are heap corruptions and they can be triggered by using inlined setters on other object members. That is, I can get a heap corruption from a string destructor in an object without ever touching that string, but having touched other members in that object. In the below sample, I'd get this from the destructor on SampleLibClass::stringThing after a testcase that only use the nonWrappedSetter. So, a sketch of our solution (API_DECL is the standard dllimport / dllexport macro): // A wrapper for std::string class StringH { public: // application side interface API_DECL StringH(); API_DECL ~StringH(); API_DECL const char* c_str() const; API_DECL count_t length() const; // library side interface void init(const char *str); void init(const std::string& str); private: // defined in the cpp-file as: // struct StringH::Impl : public string { ... } struct Impl; Impl* pImpl; StringH(const StringH&) {} }; // this is how we use it in the library class SampleLibClass { public: // ... some stuff ... void setStringThing(const std::string &str) { setStringThing_(str.c_str()); } const std::string getStringThing() const { StringH sh; getStringThing_(sh); return std::string(sh.c_str()); } API_DECL int nonWrappedSetter(int prm) { nonWrappedInt = prm; } private: API_DECL void setStringThing_(const char *cstr); API_DECL void getStringThing_(StringH &sh) const; std::string stringThing; int nonWrappedInt; // ... more stuff ... } So... Does the object layout differ? Is this an ok-ish solution, or are we violating a bunch of things and we were simply lucky that it worked with VS2003 and the different runtimes there? Would it work if we removed all inlined non-wrapped setters and getters, moving their implementations to the sourcefile instead? Any hints appreciated! Our other option would be to scrap the strings, and vector<string> that we use and use const char* and const char* arrays instead, perhaps combined with a application side only wrapper that gets fully compiled with the application compiler.

    - Buttons Pop up [Part-2] Hello, If you are not familiar with the question of this post, you can get a quick glimps at its description at the first part of this post called "Buttons Pop up!" The reason I started a new post on the same question is so I don't clutter up the previous post! So here is a clean start! I have taken the advice of a news groups fellow to strip down my program so I can isolate the problem, and I did, however the situation still persists. I call this a "situation" because at this point, I don't know if the problem I am facing is normal when creating a windows with CreateWindow(); In short, I now have two (2) windows, and therefore it means I have 2 WndProc's, WndProc.cpp and WndProc_CW2.cpp which we will call Window#1 and Window #2 respectively. I also have a Main.cpp for the good old Windows message pump! The first window is based on WndProc.cpp with one(1) button which opens a child window based on WndProc_CW2.pp. I also have an exit button on the first window which is of no relevance to this issue. So when I click on a button on window#1, it opens window#2, and do you agree that some space on the second window is right above some buttons of the first window right underneath.... right! (lets call this space "space X"). So space X is the space that is on my second window where it aligns directly with the space containing a button on the opened window #1 which is right behind it. If I click on some of its space X, well, the button from the underneath window, pops up in the top window(window #2) currently open. ??? I can even move window#2 around and this newly poped up button stays in the client area! Does anyone have any I deas of what could be going on ! Here is a watered down skeleton of the app, it contains 6 very small files! Here's the code: -Excuse me if its a long post....You would not believe how much code I removed... however if you feel its still too long, its no problem, let me know and I will repost a shorter version.

    - CDC::SelectBitmap method Hi there, For some reason I cannot seem to find any information on this method in the VS.NET 2005 documentation. I am currently having problems drawing a bitmap to a DC and most examples on the net that I come across suggest using the SelectObject method of a CDC object. My CDC object doesn't even have a SelectObject method, so I must have something different... if(m_bitmap!=NULL) { CSize pSizSize; m_bitmap.GetSize(pSizSize); CDC pCDCBitmap; pCDCBitmap.CreateCompatibleDC(dc); CBitmap pBmpBitmap = pCDCBitmap.SelectBitmap(m_bitmap); dc.BitBlt(rc.left, rc.top, pSizSize.cx, pSizSize.cy, pCDCBitmap, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); pCDCBitmap.SelectBitmap(pBmpBitmap); pCDCBitmap.DeleteDC(); } My code is very simple at the moment, but the bitmap is not appearing. I have tried calling the global SelectObject method but this produces the same result. The image has definitely been initialised in m_bitmap, and the BitBlt method is reached. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrongly? Nick. Tag: pixel decimation Tag: 266466

How to do decimation. For example, I have a line of image pixel 2500. My
screen resolution is 1280 by 1024. If i want the image to be displayed
without a scroll bar in the bottom, How should i print the pixels on screen.

any help would be great.
