Try to code it instead of wasting time on forums.
BTW it should take, at least 10 minutes.

Wouldn't this be called cheating and more so, cheating yourself.
on another note somethings should be like this:
class shape
{
//data member variables here
public:
// constructor here printing that a shape is created.
};
and you didn't tell what is the data type for area and perimeter and how are they to be used. otherwise why do you need these two?
I am providing the least of the information. The rest is up to you

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

DirectX: "render to surface" or "render to device" (unmanaged)

Pixinger776-May-09 21:01

Hi,
I googled around a lot and found basically two ways to render contents to a directX device.
The first way is to render directly to the device (that's what I call it Unsure | :~

<br />
IDirect3DDevice9* pDevice; //for simplicity no initialization code here<br />
pDevice->Clear();<br />
pDevice->BeginScene();<br />
<br />
HRESULT hResult = pDevice->DrawPrimitiveUP( /* ... */ );<br />
<br />
pDevice->EndScene();<br />
pDevice->Present();<br />

The second way I found is to render first to a surface and then the complete surface at once to the device:

<br />
IDirect3DDevice9* pDevice; //for simplicity no initialization code here<br />
<br />
// now comes the new part of the code: I will first render to surface...<br />
CSurface* pBackBuffer; // created by D3DXCreateTexture() and GetSurfaceLevel();<br />
ID3DXRenderToSurface* pRenderTarget; // created by D3DXCreateRenderToSurface();<br />
pRenderTarget->BeginScene(pSurface, 0);<br />
pDevice->SetTexture(0); <br />
pDevice->DrawPrimitiveUP( /* ... */ );<br />
pRenderTarget->EndScene(D3DTEXF_NONE);<br />
<br />
// ... and then to the device: the whole surface at once.<br />
pDevice->Clear();<br />
pDevice->BeginScene();<br />
pDevice->SetTexture(pTexture);<br />
pDevice->DrawPrimitiveUP( /* ... */ ); //Rendering now the Texture to the device.<br />
pDevice->EndScene();<br />
pDevice->Present();<br />

---------------------

My question now is:
What benefits do I get from the second approach? Is it faster? For me it looks like I just put one more step in the row. Is there less flickering? Do I have more possibilities with the second approach?

My second question is:
I found a forum-thread where they told that it is no advised to render directly into a surface, because it would destroy performance. The thread applied to managed directx. Is this true? Does it apply to unmanaged DirectX also? Is it slower to render to surfaces?

Thanks in advance

Yes - graphics hardware has highly optimised bit-blit operations, which is precisely what's used to move the off-screen surface to the device.

How to realize the two aggressive color scale

I want to do a two aggressive color scale, but i don't know how to get the color value between two colors.
for example a red-blue color scale is: red -> pink ->light blue->blue.

Please tell me if you know it. Thank you very much!

Colors are represented by red, Green, and blue values (RGB). To get a color between two colors, average their RGB values:

R = (R1 + R2) / 2;
G = (G1 + G2) / 2;
B = (B1 + B2) / 2;

Where color 1 is (R1, G1, B1), color 2 is (R2, G2, B2) and the between color is (R, G, B).

hi
i have one view base class is CFormView.when i Resize my application. View size also changing , Which is expected but all the controls in are not visible. Here I need scroll bar for this view in this situation to view all controls. In resource view I enabled vertical and horizontal scrolls but its not working. please help me how to do it..

Re: Reg:scrolling views.

Stuart Dootson6-May-09 23:37

Stuart Dootson

6-May-09 23:37

Yeah - you need to handle scrolling yourself. You need to:

When the view is resized, work out if it's big enough to display all the controls. If it is, then disable the scroll bars. If it isn't, then you need to use SetScrollInfo[^] to tell the scrollbars how to display themselves.
You need to add OnVScroll and/or OnHScroll handlers to deal with scroll messages. Use SetScrollPos[^] and ScrollWindow[^] to tell the view about the scrollbar parameters so it can work out which bit of the form should be displayed

Yeah, it's a pain. Microsoft do supply a CScrollView...but that inherits from CView, as does CFormView - and MFC is a bit backward when it comes to OOP.

Hi,

I am compiling the legacy code in VS.Net 2008 64 bit platform. I am getting the above error in the following line

static HRESULT copy(destination_type* pTo , const int source_type* pFrom)

how to resolve the above error?
Please help me

What are destination_type and source_type meant to be?

Also - "const int source_type* pFrom" looks wrong no matter what source_type is (unless it is nothing)

This is the definition

template <class MapType, class DestinationType = MapType::referent_type>

and source type is defined as

typename MapType::value_type		source_type;

what is wrong here?

const int source_type* pFrom

You have two types in that parameter declaration. Let us say that source_type is std::string - that translates to

const int std::string* pFrom

That doesn't make sense, now, does it?

I figured out why it doesn't work in visual studio c++. Here is the correct code I used to fix my error C2143:

#include "Wave.h" /* This header file has the CWave class in it */

CWave *wave1;

int main()
{
wave1.Load(_T("C:...\Music.wav"));
wave1.Play();
Sleep(100000);

Hello All ,

I create win32 dll .with simple function Add(int,int).
using dumpbin i can see add function is in my dll.

Then i create new c# console application. in that folder i put trydll.dll,trydll.lib .
then in .cs file i add using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
my class was like this

------
class Program
{
[DllImport("trydll.dll")]
public static extern int Add(int a, int b);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int c;
//int a=2;
c = Add(5, 6);
Console.Write(c);
}
}
-------

when i run prog .i get run time exception

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'trydll.dll
': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

at dlltry.Program.Add(Int32 a, Int32 b)
at dlltry.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\........

What is my mistake

Is that the working directory of your application ? Make sure this is the case. I'm not a C# expert but I suppose you can find that in the project options.

you need to put the mangled name for the function.
[DllImport("/*put the path of the dll*/")]
public static extern int Add/*mangled function name instead of Add*/(int a, int b);

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.
