Your code snippet is next to impossible to read. I can't tell what you've got commented out and what's actual code. Please reformat it AND make use of the <pre> tags.

You need something similar to:

HINTERNET hOpen = InternetOpen(...);
if (hOpen != NULL)
{
    HINTERNET hConnect = InternetConnect(hOpen, ...);
    if (hConnect != NULL)
    {
        WIN32_FIND_DATA findData;
        
        HINTERNET hFind = FtpFindFirstFile(hConnect, NULL, &findData, ...);
        if (hFind != NULL)
        {
            do
            {
                ...
            } while (InternetFindNextFile(hFind, &findData))
        }
    }
}

Hello Sir,

The code you send me that i already tried.
when i use
HINTERNET hFind = FtpFindFirstFile(hConnect, NULL, &findData, ...);
it returns hFind = NULL
and in GetLastError it returns
Error No.12018 ERROR_INTERNET_INCORRECT_HANDLE_TYPE

i read in msdn that we can use InternetOpenUrl in place of FtpFindFirstFile
HINTERNET hFind = InternetOpenUrlhInternetOpen,sUrl,NULL,0,INTERNET_FLAG_RAW_DATA| INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD|
INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE,0);

now hFind is not Null but when i use this hFind in
InternetFindNextFile API than it return false.
So this is the problem.

Anyway thanx for helping me.
sorry for ur inconvinience.
Smile | :)

Where is the first data location in Monochrome BMP image?

Hi dear
I want to ask you if you know where the first address for image data in monochrome bitmap is. I know the header allocate 54 bytes but I am not sure about this in Monochrome images.
Please if you can tell me where is the location of the first data, I will be so thankful.
Note: Monochrome Bitmaps (one bit per pixel)
Thanks Confused | :confused:

The image data address is stored in the image header itself. So better you read it and check. I think you are not considering color table info.

I answered this before for you and you still haven't provided enough information.

If the BMP is a file, the file begins with a BITMAPFILEHEADER structure.
The bfOffBits member of this struct is the offset of the pixel bits from the
beginning of the file.

Read stream of bytes in a buffer as a String [modified]

CodingLover9-Oct-07 18:40

Hi all, here's my question.

First I read a binary file, which includes large number of streams of bytes. Each stream has specific details. Using a buffer I read each stream and extract some details. Actually stream consist two parts, fixed data and a message. Fixed data length actually fixed in 24 number of bytes. Rest of the bytes include the message. What I want to do is, read the bytes which message include and print as a String(actually as a message).

Those bytes are in the buffer and I know how many bytes are there.

I work on Visual Studio .Net 2003

Can you guys help me to solve this.

Thanks Smile | :)

Ok, after reading each stream I've found that number of bytes which include the message of each and every stream separately. As a example,

stream 1 - message use 4 bytes
stream 2 - message use 1500 bytes
stream 3 - message use 100 bytes
etc..

Right now all those bytes are in a buffer. What I want to do is read that bytes in the buffer and find the message there, I mean read stream 1 bytes of 4 and find the message. Then read the stream 2 bytes of 1500 and find the message and so on

I think it is clear now. Smile | :)

if you are able to read the number of bytes in the message from the stream,
i dont understand whats the problem in reading the message, since you know the size of the message.
on thing please be specific.
all the data, what you call it as a stream is available in the file?
and what is that you are referring the buffer as?

No, only thing is that I know the number of bytes use a message. I'm confusing how to read it, and get the message. If you want I can put my code here. Smile | :)

Maintain a counter where you are.
In a loop read till the end of the file.
Inside the loop,
read the length, using memcpy in a DWORD and update counter
use ur string class, and copy the buffer, till that length just read like string
s=string(buffer+counter,length); (assuming there is a constructor like this,which many
have)
update counter
end loop

I'm not clear what's usage of a counter. If I read the message just after finding the length I think it is easy, because to find the length of each and every stream message I have to use a loop. Difficulty I come across with is some message length is higher than the buffer size I used.

What's your comment? Smile | :)

I'll comment it as much as possible. First I read a binary file, and found how many stream of bytes are there. Actually length of those streams are not same.

Basically each stream contain three part, four bytes for part one, four bytes for part two and int value of that four bytes gives the next part bytes. The third part have 16 fixed bytes at the beginning of each. I've extract the data there using dataExtract() function, you can see that. Up to now it is ok.

Now I want to read the bytes in part three except first 16 bytes. There is a message, actually record from a online chat. I want to read it and write to a file. How can I do that.

Thanks. Smile | :)

Buiild the project in Debug mode (instead of Release mode). Start it using F5. Use the F10 and F11 buttons to step over and into code respectively.

Why my colcontaing method of datagrid doesn't work well?

VC6.0 datagrid
I want to drag columns in my datagrid,so I respond to MouseDown and MouseUp Message,as following
void CTableView::OnMouseDownDatagrid(short Button, short Shift, long X, long Y)
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
col1=m_grid.ColContaining(X);
}
col1 is a member of CTableView.
but it doesn't work well
for example,If I press at column 5,it returns 5 instead of 4;
moreover,
if the position which I press at is in the first half part of columns 1, it returns 0,right!,but if the position is near column 2 in column 1, it returns 1, not expected value 0
I don't knew why

Cheers,
