Hi Richard,
Sorry about that. What I mean is a program which only has to be executed once,and just runs all the time doing the work it`s supposed to. I´d thought of putting it into an endless loop using "while (condition which never happens)" >> run sort of thing, but that´s not ideal. Maybe you know a different more effective way?
Thanks for answering so promplty.

Not sure what you mean by stand-alone, could mean you don't want to bind to libraries, in which case, don't use libraries or make sure they're statically linked.

If you are referring to Windows Services, here's a link[^] that might help you get started. Google will supply a whole lot more, though.

Are you referring to something like WinExec(), or CreateProcess()?

Hi David,
I know it´s pretty tiresome playing a game in which the other guy doesn´t know the rules. Truth is, I`m just trying to learn from this forum, which I think is very good, excellent. Now, my knowledge of c++ programming is rudimentary. Not a single person was born knowing all about it, and it´s really tough being bombarded with info which I don´t know how to use, yet.
Anyway, thanks to all who answered.

Hi all,
I am trying to play video and i came to know about directshow.
I tried coding through direct show and play my video it is done successfully, but video plays in different full screen window.
I want that these video should play on my dialog box inside any control.
I don't know it is possible or not.
If it is possible then anybody can please guide me in doing so???

How you choose to do it may depend on what renderer you are using. You could position the renderer's window (HWND) on/in a control. For windowless renderer you could render the video directly on a control or on a window in/on a control...

thanks a lot.
If you can give me some example of how to implement it. It will be really helpful for me.

Hi all,
I want to display a Bitmap on my static control.
For Doing so i have written this line of code
<pre>m_Bitmap.SetBitmap( ::LoadBitmap(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BMP1)) );</pre>
But it is not displaying the bitmap.
What should i do..

Are you sure that LoadBitmap() is correctly returning a handle to the image? Also MSDN recommends you use LoadImage()[^] in preference.

My application is developed using Visual studio 2008 and it is MFC application. It is using one XML configuration file and it is deployed with the application. As per the change of requirment, we should not deploy the XML file in to customer machine instead we have to deploy the binary of that file.
How can I convert the XML in to binary file and get the data from the binary file again?
I am thinking serializtion is one option, is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

It depends on what type of data you need with the application. Is there any reason why you cannot add this as a resource?

The file is not the same for all the user of the application, it is different for each user. So i cann't add it to resource.
|
|
|
|

In that case why use XML at all? Just create a binary file that encodes the information you require, and add code to your application or installation program to read and process the contents.

I imagine the changed requirement is to prevent your customers from seeing the details of the configuration file?
If so, I'd suggest simply obfuscating the XML by running it through some encoder/decoder. This way, you still have the benefits of an extensible and flexible format, at the cost of an extra step when reading/writing the file.
Of course, how complicated this would be depends on what XML parser you are using, as I don't think there's one in MFC.
If your parser can parse from and export to a string - and if the string isn't excessively large - you can simply read your encoded binary data from file, decode it to a string, and parse that. Similarly, when saving the config, you'd export to a string, encode that, and save it to file. If your parser needs to work with files, you can use the %TEMP% area for the conversion.
There are plenty of encoders you could use, from base64 to libzip to various crypto algorithms, so just pick one that is quick, and simple to integrate.

That doesn't really sound like a 'configuration' file to me.
What are your real requirements?
Why exactly does it need to be binary?

Hi.
I want to develop in an embedded system. It's OS dos not support any graphic API and functions except SetPixel for developer.
I need to use some standard font for text drawing.
If you have any idea to do that, please share with me.
Thanks very much.

You'll have to write your own routines for drawing text.
The way this was done back in the day was to create a fixed-size font (usually consisting of 8x8 monochrome pixels, so each character would take 8 bytes to describe), and a simple look-up algorithm (in this case something like "base address of font + character code * 8).
If you have to work pixel by pixel, I'd start with writing a routine to draw a row of 8 pixels, and use that to draw the whole character.
There are some classic old fonts to look at here: http://damieng.com/blog/2011/02/20/typography-in-8-bits-system-fonts[^]
You'd have to convert them to your own format, but that's reasonably trivial. If you take the first (PET), resize it so that there's one real pixel per used pixel, and save the image as a monochrome (2-bit) bitmap, you can read it out from there.

I want to insert into a listview an item with an image :
BOOL CTestListImageView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
cs.style |= LVS_REPORT;
return CListView::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}
and
void CTestListImageView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CListView::OnInitialUpdate();
CListCtrl& ListCtrl = GetListCtrl();
m_TraceImageList.Create(IDB_BITMAP_TRACEIL,16,1,ILC_MASK);
ListCtrl.SetImageList(&m_TraceImageList,TVSIL_NORMAL);
ListCtrl.InsertColumn(0, _T("Machine model"),LVCFMT_LEFT, 200);
ListCtrl.InsertColumn(1, _T("Description"), LVCFMT_LEFT, 250);
int nIndex = ListCtrl.InsertItem(0, _T("Test"),2);
ListCtrl.SetItemText(0,1, _T("aaaaaaaaaa"));
}
CTestListImageView class is derived from CLIstView, the m_TraceImageList data member is type of CImageList class, and have 10 images ...
still, the listview have not any image ( icon ) ... why ?
Why ? What I have do wrong ?
One mention : I prefer to insert an item with image with follow prototype :
int InsertItem( int nItem, LPCTSTR lpszItem, int nImage );
not with
int InsertItem( const LVITEM* pItem );
Thank you.

Have you tried different values for the cx and nFlags parameters?

I have try in follow ways :

m_TraceImageList.Create(IDB_BITMAP_TRACEIL,16,1,ILC_MASK);
m_TraceImageList.Create(IDB_BITMAP_TRACEIL,16,1,ILC_COLOR | ILC_MASK);
m_TraceImageList.Create(IDB_BITMAP_TRACEIL,16,2,ILC_COLOR | ILC_MASK);
m_TraceImageList.Create(IDB_BITMAP_TRACEIL,16,1,ILC_COLOR8 | ILC_MASK);
but un vain ...

these iages are into an bitmap resource, IDB_BITMAP_TRACEIL

Have you tried using LVSIL_SMALL when setting the image list?
