Re: Restaurant Project Nemanja Trifunovic28-Feb-02 8:41 Nemanja Trifunovic 28-Feb-02 8:41  I must agree (unwillingly) I vote pro drink Re: Restaurant Project Christian Graus28-Feb-02 9:06 Christian Graus 28-Feb-02 9:06  As has been noted, this may be easier to do in VB, but the downside is you'll need to learn VB. I'd do this by creating a database file in Access and then creating a project that links to the database file. VC will create a wrapper class so you can read and write the db file with ease. I did a similar project for a friend which took me a week ( in my own time ). It's not much work at all. Of course I'd never do a real world project that way now, because of the need to set up ODBC sources, etc. I'd use ADOX to create a new table and ADO to read/write it. I've done that to, but it took ages, mainly because the point of that exercise was to learn COM, so that part took the most time to get right.

Load gif, jpeg or tif image in VC++ 28-Feb-02 7:29 28-Feb-02 7:29  Hello, I would like to store gif, jpeg or tif image as resource in visual VC++6.0 Then, load theses in my application without convert in bitmap file. Is there any way to do this Thanks in advance Re: Load gif, jpeg or tif image in VC++ Chris Losinger28-Feb-02 8:04 Chris Losinger 28-Feb-02 8:04  i prefer my own way, but there are at least three other, free ways, on this site, to do it. be aware that you can't use GIF (reading or writing) without a license from Unisys. -c Smaller Animals Software, Inc.

Modest Mouse Re: Load gif, jpeg or tif image in VC++ Christian Graus28-Feb-02 9:25 Christian Graus 28-Feb-02 9:25  I was interested to see that this months MSDN address this quite clearly ( in Paul De LAscia's column ) and says what I always expected, if you use GDI+ and read/write Gif, you're going to JAIL !!!! It's amusing to see that UNISYS are still scum and actually refused to provide a precise definition of who has to pay, they just said everyone who uses gif must ask them for a form so their lawyers can decide how much they need to pay. I wonder what possessed M$ to create a world where I need to be careful to exclude a file format that their API supports directly, especially as checking for the .gif extension will not stop GDI+ reading gifs named differently.

You seem to know alot about graphics and answer questions frequently with GDI+ solutions. I'm curious...what is GDI+ all about...I thought it was a lib someone here at codeproject started, that was basically an extension, which would allow easy anti-aliasing, alpha-factoring etc...instead of just the boring LineTo. My appologies for asking you this directly instead of posting and waiting for a reply, but I figured it would have probably been you in the first place. My appologies again for just assuming. Cheers!

HockeyDude wrote: what is GDI+ all about...I thought it was a lib someone here at codeproject started, that was basically an extension, which would allow easy anti-aliasing, alpha-factoring etc...instead of just the boring LineTo. No, it's an integral part of .NET ( i.e. you get it out of the box ), and it's also a dll that can be downloaded, and with the latest platform SDK ( well, any from the past year, but it's been worked on in that time so you should get the latest one ), you can create apps that use GDI+ for any post Windows 95 OS (W95 is not supported but also not excluded, the official line is try it at your own risk on W95). GDI+ offers a greatly improved API to GDI+, with things like reading/writing different formats, antialiasing, alphablending and texturing. I have written a series of articles on GDI+ you may find helpful, the March Windows Developers Journal ( out now ) also has an article from me introducing GDI+. HockeyDude wrote: My appologies again for just assuming. Not at all, it was a fair assumption given that I tend to answer a lot of questions on graphics and to often refer to GDI+. I was fortunate enough to be writing a paint package at work when I became aware of GDI+ so I parallel developed a GDI+ version from home which eventually was the one we used at work as well.

And displaying the encrypted data in a file or box. I have not used visual c++ much and having great difficulty getting grips with the code. Any help would be appreciatedm. thanks damsel in distress Re: help needed on encryption alex.barylski28-Feb-02 6:43 alex.barylski 28-Feb-02 6:43  If you having problems coming to grips with the code I would suggest searching for a third party lib. Anything other than simple ascii encryption maybe XOR is pretty difficult. I wouldn't attempt this myself until I fully understood the algorithm and language at hand. I would look for a 3rd party lib...yup for sure...i'd be much easier. p.s-You might take a peak at the windows CryptoAPI, I dunno about ceaser cipher's but I think it supports triple DES. Cheers! "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr Re: help needed on encryption Paul M Watt28-Feb-02 7:49 Paul M Watt 28-Feb-02 7:49  What is the ceasar cipher? Is that the algorithm where the letter A gets mapped to a number between 1-26, then B to a different number and so on through Z until all of the letters and numbers are matched? Is the problem that you are having have to do with the actual encryption, where to get started on your program, or the file part. Does your program need to be displayed in a GUI, or can you use the console. If you can use the console, this would make your program alot simpler. Simply start with the fstream objects to read your encrypted file in to memory. Walk through all of your encrypted data, byte by byte, and convert from the encrypted code to the real character, placing the decrypted character in a new buffer. Then display the new buffer with cout. I know this is general, hopefully I have helped, if you have a specific question feel free to give more details.

I would be interested to hear if anyone else has this problem The Wudan Master Re: Bool CArchive Joaquín M López Muñoz28-Feb-02 5:18 Joaquín M López Muñoz 28-Feb-02 5:18  I guess you defined your homemade operator as a global CArchive& operator<<(CArchive& ar,bool b), right? If so, and if you can afford some syntax ugliness, you can force selection of this operator instead of the built-in one by calling it explicitly like this: CArchive ar; ... operator<<(ar,true); //in isolated form operator<<(ar<<1<<2,false)<<3<<4; //inside a chain, outputs 12034 Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Re: Bool CArchive Li Mu Bai28-Feb-02 5:48 Li Mu Bai 28-Feb-02 5:48  Thanks Joaquín M López Muñoz it works for me The wudan Master What is First-Execption? anju28-Feb-02 4:17 anju 28-Feb-02 4:17  hi, In my project when debugging mode i am getting the warning First-Exception raised in Kernal32.dll.

Could you post the offenging code? Other than that, caught first-time exceptions is the handler's businesses. I wouldn't worry too much if everything's working.

Jerome Re: Other App handle Joaquín M López Muñoz28-Feb-02 3:32 Joaquín M López Muñoz 28-Feb-02 3:32  If you already hava a window handle for that app (obtained for instance with FindWindow), <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/windows_5y90.asp">GetWindowThreadProcessId</a> gives you the associated process handle. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo PS: Oops, did I say process handle? GetWindowThreadProcessId gives you the process id. From this you can retrieve the process handle with <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/prothred_478z.asp">OpenProcess</a>. Regards.
