In the OnCtlColor handler in the dialog, look for CTLCOLOR_STATIC and then call the SetTextColor method of the CDC class like pDC->SetTextColor(...
Look at the documentation for CWnd::OnCtlColor[^]

Hi,
I'm looging to use my old Axim Pocket PC with PPS2003 OS as a clock and to not let it on 24/7 I'd like a option to let it turn on at let say 6:00 and of at 22:00 automatically.

Hi All,
I have a very large application that creates many dialogs. I have a CDialog derived class that skins dialogs. I would like to automatically make EVERY dialog in my application use this class - even message boxes, TWAIN interfaces etc etc. I was hoping I could simply use SetWindowsHookEx to do this but the problem that I'm having is that my dialogs are already 'CWnd' objects - when I try to subclass them as another CWnd (i.e. my Skinned Dialog class) I get assertations.
Is there any way to safely subclass a CDialog object with another CDialog object?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

You could use the CWnd::Detach method to detach the existing CWnd object and then use CWnd::Attach on the returned window handle to attach your CDialog derived class.

Hi all,
I'm working on creating an application which will acquire image data from a camera and display it.
I have right now acquired image data from camera. The data is in the form of long integer array (32-bit signed integers). I would like to visualise this data. I am not sure how to display the data as an image. Could you please help me?
I am using Microsoft visual studio C++ 2008.
Thanks

What is the format of that image data? Compressed, uncompressed, RGB values, BGR values? 8 bits per color component, 16 bits per color components, using a palette? Generally i guess you could create a dib section using CreateDIBSection[^] and try to render that image into the dib and then you can do whatever you like with it like blitting it onto a window.

Hi,
Each pixel value is in the form of 32 bit. I understand the last 24 bits represent RGB values(8bits each) and the rest 8 bits are unused (value=0).
I am not sure how I can create a proper pixel palette to convert this image to bitamp and display it.

do you know the dimensions of the image?
i mean, pixels along x and pixels along y.

Hi yes i know the dimensions of the image ..Its 1004*1002
|
|
|
|

I supose you do know the dimensions of your image (width and height) so when you create a DIB in memory of that size, as the documentation states, you get a pointer to the first pixel and can start copying your pixel data performing conversion if needed.

Hi..
i know the dimensions of the image data. its 1004*1002. I created a DIB with CreateDIBSection. But the color information looks very different from the image which i obtained from the camera using its software. Right now my data is 32 bit (24bit RGB + 8bits unused). could u please advice me on how to convert the bit depth from 32bit to 8bit?
|
|
|
|
|
Why do you want to convert it to 8 bit? You can create 24 and 32 bit DIBs.

What are you trying to achieve here? If you wish to save your image you don't need a DIB section, i thought you wanted to display the image on some window for example, for that you could use the DIB, to save a bitmap to a file you can simply write the headers and the pixel data as you did without any device contexts or HBITMAPs. So let's forget the DIB and consider you just want to save the data to a bmp file. Explain what you mean by "looks very different". You should know that in a bitmap each scanline's bytecount has to be dividable by 4 otherwise your image will look disorted. To explain what i mean: you say your image's width is 1002 pixels. If you want a 24 bits per pixel bitmap, then every pixel is 3 bytes, right? So 1002 pixels is 1002 * 3 = 3006 bytes. 3006 / 4 = 751.5, so your scanlines do not occupy a multitple of 4 bytes. You need padding to overcome this, you have to add zeros to the end of each scanline till your scanline's bytecount can be divided by 4. So after you write 3006 bytes into the file for the RGB data you also need to write 2 additional bytes of 0, this way your scanlines will have 3008 bytes, which can be divided by 4 (752). You have to do this for each scanline. You should read about the bitmap file format here[^] or just google[^] a bit around.
Imho, you are better of trying to save a 32 bpp bitmap, since 32 bits are 4 bytes, your 1002 pixels on a scanline will occuppy 4008 bytes which is -obviously- dividable by 4.

hii.
I am trying to display the image onto a window. But i'm not sure how to do it with DIB. So i just thought of saving it onto disk. Can u advice me on how to use DIB for displaying?
Actually the width of my image is 1004 and the height is 1002. So the width will be divisible by 4.

Well, you were on the right track there with creating the DIB section as you have shwon in your code but you don't need a DC, just feed it NULL there. Once you copied the pixel data into your DIB you can blit it onto a window like any other bitmap. So something like this for example:
void CMyWindow::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC MemDC;
MemDC.CreateCompatibleDC(dc);
HBITMAP original_bitmap = (HBITMAP)::SelectObject(MemDC, my_dib_handle);
dc.BitBlt(0, 0, 1004, 1002, &MemDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
::SelectObject(MemDC, original_bitmap);
}

hi there.
I tried using the onpaint function in my program. But it does not seem to recognise the function. It throws error like
1. CMywindow: is not a class or namespace name
2. CPaintDC : undeclared identifier
I think i'm making a big mistake somewhere.
Could you please help me on where i should use this function in my above code? Or is it to be done in MFC's?
Thanks very much

I believe your biggest mistake is that you are trying to literally integrate the example i gave you into your program word by word... that code snipplet was just an example. Do you have a window in your application you wish to show the image on? You should do that when that window gets the WM_PAINT message. If you don't know what i am talking about then you should read some windows programming books or google around for tutorials and such. Good luck.

Ya. I have been doing some learning to get this working. Can u pls let me know how to use OnPaint function? Does it work with MFC's?
I am getting confused with them.

Well, as said, google is your friend, you can find all that info, however, add this to the message map of your window: ON_WM_PAINT()
It would look something like this, please don't copy paste this into your code and try to compile, it is just an example so you know how it should look...so about...
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyWindow, CMyWindowsSuperClass)
...
ON_WM_PAINT()
...
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
Let's assume you named the class for your window CMyWindow, so in the header file, declare the OnPaint method similarry to this:
class CMyWindow: public CMyWindowsSuperClass
{
...
void OnPaint();
...
};
and then implement this method in the cpp file that contains your window class' implementation, similar to this:
void CMyWindow::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
}
I hope this helps...

Hi there,
The image data that i have got represent intensity of light falling on the sensor(whcih is 32 bits per pixel) . Can u pls suggest me how i can use palette files when displaying images to visualise contrast in intensities?
Many Thanks

Never worked with palettes so i can't, sorry...

Currently your data is in long integer right.
So now just ur data is actualy a pixel data. which contains the pixel intensity for Monochrome and RGB for color.
So use GDI+
You want pixel data as long pointer array to bitmap from which it will be easy to create a image.
Bitmap * BitMapHandler::PixelInfo2BitMap(int width, int height,
int *pixData )
{
// Fistly create a temp Bmp with the height and width of the image.
Bitmap bit(width, height, PixelFormat32bppARGB );
// Create clone as as to return as output.
Bitmap *bmp = bit.Clone(0, 0, bit.GetWidth(), bit.GetHeight(),
PixelFormat32bppARGB);
BitmapData bmData;
Rect rect(0, 0, bmp->GetWidth(), bmp->GetHeight());
bmp->LockBits(rect,
ImageLockModeRead | ImageLockModeWrite,
PixelFormat32bppARGB,
&bmData);
int stride = bmData.Stride;
BYTE *pArr = (BYTE *)((void *)bmData.Scan0);
int nOffset = stride - width*4;
int pixel;
for(int y=0; y < height;y++) {
for(int x=0; x < width; ++x ) {
// GDI lies about RGB - internally it's BGR
pixel = pixData[y*width+x];
pArr[3] = (BYTE) ((pixel >> 24) & 0xff); // alpha
pArr[2] = (BYTE) ((pixel >> 16) & 0xff); // pixel red
pArr[1] = (BYTE) ((pixel >> 8 ) & 0xff); // pixel green
pArr[0] = (BYTE) ((pixel ) & 0xff); // pixel blue
pArr += 4;
}
pArr += nOffset;
}
bmp->UnlockBits(&bmData);
return (bmp);
}
Hope it is enough

Hi ARJ,
Thnaks for your code.Actually,the code throws an exception at
Bitmap *bmp = bit.Clone(0, 0, bit.GetWidth(), bit.GetHeight(),PixelFormat32bppARGB);
in getting the values of widht and height in GdiPlusBitmap.h
The exception is
Unhandled exception at 0x00411bc1 in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000004.
I am not sure why it occurs. Could you please advice me on this?
