I actually know this is simple, but I forget the answer. I would repost this question in the COM forum if I was you.

Mr. Dunn already pointed you to his FAQ which is probably the best resource available on CP but just in case, here are some ways you can get it done. NOTE: These will only work if the BSTR does not contain embedded NULL's as would occur in a BYTE array. If you are sure you are dealing with null terminated strings in the BSTR like when using MSXML, these will get you by.

// Using the CString constructor
_bstr_t bstrTemp("This is a test\n");
CString sTemp1((BSTR)bstrTemp);
TRACE(sTemp1);

// For when you don't have the luxury of using the constructor
CString sTemp2;
sTemp2.Format("%s",(LPCTSTR)bstrTemp);
TRACE(sTemp2);

For that kind of parsing, I recommend expat[^]

Hi

I am new to vc++. I want to know what is "resources" in vc++ context.

waiting for reply

You know I am not sure, there is so many meanings that it boarders on the ridiculous.

1) Windows programming: memory, icons, bitmap, dialog boxes, I/0, and strings.
2) C++: memory, I/O.

Oh, 1 applies to Mac programming too.

A resource is anything that you must draw on to accomplish the goal, including dependency on outside resources such as the Web.

In a Visual C++ program, visual elements in your program (menus, dialog boxes, bitmaps, icons, and some strings) are defined in a source file with the extension .RC, which is referred to as a resource script. This file is compiled and 'linked' into your program. The term "resources" refers to these visual elements.

Ellipse, how to draw without been filled?

includeh103-Jun-06 3:10

3-Jun-06 3:10

the DC functions: Ellipse, Rectangle ... are filled by current brush.

I hope they are draw only without been filled.

any idea to do this?

Hamid_RT3-Jun-06 4:42

You can use from Graphic like this

<br />
SolidBrush Brush(Color(255,0,120,120));<br />
Pen pen(&Brush, 4.0f);<br />
Graphics graphics(GetDC()->m_hDC) ;<br />
graphics.DrawEllipse(&pen,100,100,200,200);<br />

I seen the reference to ‘graphics’ and understand we are at a crossroads between systems of programming for windows. That being said ignore it and select a NULL brush before drawing the ellipse.

Hi John R. Shaw,
you said that create null brush before draw ellipse in CDC
but in graphics if you run this code you see a ellipse with one stroke Smile | :)
