Do BYTE streams generally have to be?

Short answer is no.

Since it is your application it is your decision. The only thing to bear in mind is that the program that reads the file needs to understand, and use, the same format rules as the program that writes it.

PNG's and GDI+

hi friends,

i have a small problem, i just want to know how to differentiate between the png images
which are having some transparent area and which are without transparent area. Can this be a solution: "pixel by pixel scan the image and check the alpha value of each pixel"
Is there any other way of handling the same. i am using GDI+ for the above.

Thanking in Advance

Hi Samir,

The PNG image has an image header called the IHDR chunk. It contains a single BYTE 'Color Type' value and will be 4 or 6 if the PNG image supports alpha transparency. You can either read this value manually or use GDI+ to read this value.

The Image::GetFlags method[^] will return a ImageFlagsHasAlpha value[^] if the image supports transparency.

Best Wishes,

I have application setup that is written in Installshield for Visual C+ 6.0. It has some scripts.Scripts is involved to call the dll functions(dll functions are written by us) that dll is also a part of product setup. Now We need to convert this setup to MSI. How to convert ? how to convert these scripts to msi callable scripts (means how to call the dll functions in msi setup ) Please advice or suggest more on this.

Hi All,
I have developed an application in MFC that is showing the SMART values of SCSI hard disk with the help of scsi commands.The scsi commands needs a dll named wnaspi32.dll(Adaptec) and sys file named aspi32.sys(Adaptec) for building the ASPI layer in Windows XP operating system.Its working well in Debug mode but it fails in Release mode.Can anybody please tell me how to make it run successfully in Release mode or any other way to implement scsi commands?
Thanks

Highly unlikely since you've failed to isolate and describe the problem. At a minimum, I suggest reading here.

This type of thing is very common and has even happened to me a few times. It may be an uninitialized local variable being initialized to 0xccccccc and works great in Debug mode. In Release mode perhaps a check for NULL may be the cause of the problem. There are many other reasons why this could be occuring. You should probably begin by reading the article by Dr. Newcomer.

You could also spy on the SCSI bus and check if your commands are reaching the target.

Good Luck,

1. Check the C++ head file include path are there in Project Property Setting.
2. Check the *.lib file added in Project Property Setting.
3. Clean the Build first.
4. Rebuild full project again.

What do you mean ? Your program will never call OnAutoProcessing on its own when you exit the program. It means you are doing it yourself and then the solution to your problem is simple: don't call OnAutoProcessing when you exit your program Smile | :)

Sorry, but your question is so vague that it's the only answer I can give. Where are you calling OnAutoProcessing ?

Member 31219 wrote:

By calling it before the end of the program maybe ? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

As Cedric said - you asked this exact same question yesterday.

I replied to it already, asking for specific extra information: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3178744/Re-how-can-i-exit-the-program-entirely.aspx[^]

1/ You didn't work out that maybe you should give that information if you want help.

2/ You emailed me directly with the original question (which I don't actually mind), and didn't even give the answer(s) to my questions.

I can see it now...

Patient 31219: "Dr, I am ill, please help."
Dr Iain: "I will be happy to help, Patient 31219. Please tell me something about your symptoms."

Patient 31219: "Dr, I am ill, please help."
Dr Cedric: "I will be happy to help, Patient 31219. Please tell me something about your symptoms. Oh, didn't you see my colleague yesterday"
Patient 31219: Silence.

The next day:
Miss 31220: "Please, can you take my boyfriends body away. He died in his sleep, silently. He would have been my husband, but when I broke with chauvinistic convention and asked him to marry me, he never actually replied..."

I saw that! Yikes...

Assuming it's possible, Program A has to make a parsable mile long command line, and Program B has to parse it...

The alternative of using a file is not only possible, it's *easier*. Some people get fixated on a route between two places, that even when a better route to the same destination is shown, they keep walking into the same brick wall.

Hi All

I tried hash Look up logic in C.I got unique hash value, but my look up table have only 5000 records so i need to reduce my hash value.

logic
h=h<<5+h+c

h=default value 3.

c=input character ascii value.

For Ex:
Input :Jon
Output:227018.

currently am getting hash value in billion or million.I want my hash value with in 5000.

I tried Mod function too..But it is giving duplicate value.So plz gimme solution for this....

Note:Input is string and output is number(for hash value).

Thanks,
