Hi!
Can you give me some sample code or some link where I can find such sample
It will be of great help...
Thanks

Thanks for ur help... But I have a very basic problem, I get the info about bitmap as a parameter, what I get is 3 parameters BITMAPINFO, BITMAPFILEINFO, and BitmapData in a buffer.
Now my problem is how to get HBITMAP from this?
I tried CreateBitmap() but as my bitmap has got negative height it fails.
I treid with CreateDIBitmap() but it creates a bitmap with 32bit/pix where as my original bitmap was only 1 bit/pix. and also makes height positive.
Now my second question is if I have created a bitmap and recvd. HBITMAP then I will write text on that. What I want is that my buffer which is holding BitmapData is modified and I get that buffer so that I can pass that to another function.
So what actually i am interested in is how to get modified buffer which is holding bitmapdata.
Thanks

It probably has a negative height because the scanlines in a bitmap go from the bottom to the top. try reversing the sign, perhaps ?
Given that you have the bitmapdata, you can create a DIBSection ( which has a HBITMAP and a pointer to bitmap data ) and copy your data into it. A DIBSection is very likely to solve a lot of your problems, actually.

If your HBITMAP is a DIBSECTION, then GetObject will return a BITMAP structure with a pointer to the bits. If this fails, you need to create a DIBSECTION and copy your HBITMAP into it, BitBlt will do this for you.

Yes, if you have a buffer with bitmap data, modifying that seems the best approach, which is what I suggested in the first place.

You have bitmap data, I'm suggesting you iterate through it and modify it, not that you turn it into a HBITMAP or use any GDI functions on it.

How can I do that? What I have to write is a text that can be on any size, angle, color, font, and more over I want it to be transparent so that text and bitmap both are seen.
So how can I modify the bitmap data directly without using GDI API's
Thanks

The fact that you want to merge text with the bitmap underneath DEMANDS that you do it directly, unless you use GDI+, in which case you can create a semi transparent brush to draw the text for you.
Naveen_mah wrote:

Well, you have the bitmap data as a byte array, so you would figure out where you want to put something, and iterate through the bits, placing it on. I didn't realise you wanted to rotate your text, or change it's colour, I assumed you had a standard watermark you wanted to add, in which case you could store it in a resource bitmap, and use the values in that bitmap to merge into your source image.

Why ? You realise this means your HDC will have the bit depth of your PC, you won't control it ?

The data is in pbase, you get it out of calling CreateDIBSection.

How on earth do you hope to create a watermark in a 1 bit bitmap ? If each bit is just on or off, one of two colours, then you just want to write text over it, you don't want a watermark at all. A watermark is a generally invisible signature that's blended into an image. There's no blending when you have only two colours.
Perhaps you need to redefine what you're trying to do here ? If you're using anything less than 16 bit, you need to use GDI functions, because keeping track of palettes and stuff is just too painful.

I have my basic application together what I want to do is call one dialog box from my base application (an about box). The main application is a dialog box itself.

I think you only need some basic MFC Programming book.

i am currently implementing a program where i need to print the screen and take its picture (the same function performed by the print screen key on the keyboard) but i want to do this automaticly so is there any c++ command or any other way that i can use to perform such function

depends if you're using MFC or not.
With a multi-doc MFC app it does print screen for you.

Type print screen in CodeProject's "Search" box.

Repost from COM forum which seems dead.
Question 1:
I have:
1. exe COM client A.
2. exe outofproc COM server B which is also a client to:
3. dll inproc COM server C.
So B creates an instance of C. And passes the pointer to it to A. Can A actualy call C which is in B process space?
Question 2:
I have:
1. A is an exe COM client .
2. B is an exe outofproc COM server.
When A releases all instances of B, B unloads. Good! That's what I need. BUT! If:
2. B is a dll inproc COM server.
Then When A releases all instances of B, dll B still is loaded by A process for a while.
Is there a way to force it to unload?
Thanks a lot!

Take these with a grain of salt, I am no COM expert...
Question 1: I do not think that is directly possible, but I think that when you pass the interface pointer to another process (from B to A), you will get a marshalled interface pointer, which will not really be the same pointer value you passed over. Instead, it will be one that COM created during the "pass" operation. This new interface pointer will not be in B's address space, it will be in A's. If it pointed to a location in B's address space (for example, you passed over the value of the interface pointer), you would likely crash the instant you tried to use it because it would not point to the same location anymore (if it pointed anywhere valid at all).
Question 2: You have the FreeLibrary function, but you cannot get directly ahold of the handle for the DLL that contains the the InProc COM object*. It was loaded by the COM subsystem, and even if you did manage to get that handle and force an unload, I think you would be basically snatching the rug out from under COM and that might be bad...
* Yes, you could call LoadLibrary again and might get the same instance handle...
Peace!

I'm pretty sure you can't do this. Sharing of a COM object must be managed by the object itself.

Not easily. Is there any reason why you'd want to though? Windows manages this quite well.

Hi all,
I am using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile to read a folder and get all files properties.
There is a problem. That two functions are reading files and folders sorted by name.
I mean,
c:\test
c:\test\a.txt
c:\test\c
c:\test\c\m.txt
c:\test\k.txt
I'm wondering if I can sort before I read it?
Like sorting file name or size or extension before I read it?
c:\test
c:\test\a.txt
c:\test\k.txt
c:\test\c
c:\test\c\m.txt

For NTFS volumes, the files/folders are enumerated in sorted order. For non-NTFS volumes, the files/folders are enumerated in the order in which they were added. That said, you'll need to add all files/folders into an array, sort the array, and then process it.

Wouldl it make sense to have two code paths, then? One for NTFS and one for others? The NTFS would be optimal, no sorting required. Other storage types could use the slower method

Given how fast a data structure can be sorted, I would think not.

I really need some help with this one. I have wasted too much time and not made much progress.
What I am trying to do is to read a timestamp from index.dat generated by Internet Explorer. The timestamp is in the file in the following format "00 14 AC 72 BE 95 C2 01". A document I read takes the value and reverses the order so that the value is "0x01C295BE72AC1400" and then passes it into the w32tm function as follows: "w32tm /ntte 0x01c295BE72AC1400" and gets a return of "146792 02:41:12.0000000 11/26/2002 8:41:12 PM (local time)". I'm trying to accomplish this within my Visual C++ program but just can't get it. I'm certain there are others out there who are smarter and more experienced when it comes to such issues. I just want to be able to read the data from the file and pass it into asctime to get a meaningful date and time stamp.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Many Thanks
