Hi,
Is there anybody whp can explain to me what is the difference of using custom control and picture in a dialog based application? If i wan to display a graph, which one should i choose to use and why?
Thanks in advance

If you are just displaying a bitmap or icon then a picture (static) control is fine.
If you want user-interaction with the picture then a custom control is a way to go.

If i want to draw a squarewave just to display the output of my hardware, is it fine for me to use picture? And later i need to be able to use horizontal scroll and also be able to zoom in/out of the diagram. Can picture still be use for these purposes?
Thank U....

If you want to display dynamic content, creating a control allows you to just render in the Paint method. Otherwise, you need to duplicate that paint method elsewhere, to draw onto a bitmap. Of course, once you double buffer, you'll probably end up with a bitmap or two anyhow, but putting it in a control makes more sense.

I think it would be easiest to make a window in that case. Controls ARE windows but it doesn't
sound like a situation requiring a control-type interface.

When u said window, what do you mean actually? My application is a dialog based and i need to display the graph in a single dialog box. I'm a begineer in vc++,so many things are new to me..
thanks

If you are using MFC then a window would be a CWnd-derived class, which wraps a Windows window
handle (HWND). If you are not using MFC then it would just be an HWND.
Controls are windows (have an HWND) as well but add a pre-defined set of messages. Here's a
better explanation than I could ever give User Controls[^]

I am going to compare bitmap images by creating a hash value of the bits for each image. I have at my disposal a crypto library. I'm not asking how to do it, but I would like to know which algorithm would be your first choice? We all know these algorithms are usualy built for strength, so I am looking for one that is fast, has a small output but not so small that the same results would be obtained from different images. Any thoughts?

My hash of choice is CRC32. It has not let me down yet.
You may be right

the benchmarks near the bottom also include comparison to CRC32.

Don't waste CPU cycles on cryptographically secure hash functions. A CRC-like hash function will do what you want in less CPU cycles.

With the CRC32, I would issue these warnings:
1. If the CRC32 matches, it does not mean the two images are identical.
2. If the CRC32 does NOT match, it means the 2 images are NOT identical.

Hi! This is my first post on the web ever!
To make it short, I made a routine to change certain bytes in a file in binary mode. It all worked perfectly, until I decided to use a long name directory and it crashes. I made certain check points to find out exactly where it crashes and why. Here is my subroutine code:
void binary_edit (char *cur_dir) {
FILE *fp,*fp2;
char filename[100],filename2[100];
int temp,cur_bit=0;
sprintf(filename ,"%s\\file1.bin",cur_dir);
sprintf(filename2,"%s\\file2.bin",cur_dir);
fp=fopen(filename,"rb");
fp2=fopen(filename2,"wb");
temp=(int)fgetc(fp);
while (!feof(fp)) {
switch (cur_bit) {
case 50:fputc(0,fp2);break;
case 51:fputc(1,fp2);break;
case 52:fputc(2,fp2);break;
case 53:fputc(3,fp2);break;
case 54:fputc(4,fp2);break;
case 55:fputc(5,fp2);break;
default:fputc(temp,fp2);
}
cur_bit+=1;
temp=(int)fgetc(fp);
}
fclose(fp);
fclose(fp2);
unlink(filename);
rename(filename2,filename);
}
Please help me out

What do you mean by "it crashes"? Does it give you an error message? If so, what is the message? what line in your code does the error occur on? What are the values of the variables that are being accessed on that line?
You have to provide more information if you want an answer. All you will get otherwise is some wild-ass guesses.

hihi,
the error is "installer.exe has detected a problem and it has to close......inform Microsoft....debug...dont send". It is in spanish so I do not know if my translation is perfect.
In my code there r 2 comment lines. The first comment is where an error occurs when trying to fgetc if filename is greater than 40 characters. I assume the other error I get is where the first occurrence of fputc if filename2 is greater than 38 characters long.
I am sorry for not being explicit in my POST, but I guess logically oriented people sometimes assume our short explanations are more than enough.

Does increasing the length of your filename buffers work?
char filename[256],filename2[256];
Seems pretty weird to me, but like PJ said, what errors are you getting?

hihi
no it doesnt, I just tried it. Please let me know if my explanation is clear now.
|
|

Well, I'd say fp == null and fp2 == null, which indicate it couldn't open either file.
You need to check for that in your code:
fp = fopen(filename, "rb");<br />
if ( !fp )<br />
{<br />
}<br />

did that too without any success. the fp/fp2 values r correct. filename opens and filename2 gets created. the cur_dir variable is sent from GetCurrentDirectory(512,cur_dir); in the main program. So running the program from "C:\games" yields to no error, but running it from "C:\games1234567890123456" will crash.

What if you tried hard coding the long path name in your call to binary_edit, instead of using GetCurrentDirectory. Does that work?
I tried many variations of short and long paths with your function and they all worked for me.

See below - he has a buffer overrun bug that causes GetCurrentDirectory() to stomp on random memory.

Check your return values - you're not checking whether the fopen() calls succeed.
Run the program in the debugger (F5) and when it crashes, the debugger will show you exactly where it's happening.

however the .exe file still gives me the same error.
