problem with m_strCursor

Hi,

I've an application which creates HTML files. For that i'm using some database operations, which includes classes such as, CDatabase and CRecordSet etc.

I'm getting an exception as "invalid cursor" since m_strCursor is getting set to some file name e.g. "test.html", which the application is creating. I'm not able to trace out, how the variable is getting set. Similarly, m_strFilter, m_strSort, m_strUpdateSQL, m_strRequeryFilter, m_strRequerySort are getting set to the same file name.

Thanks,
Kranti

VS2005 - ellipsis in a macro

VS6 and VS2003 do not support varargs in a C macro. The link http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=40270&max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=200503[^] hints that this is possible in VS2005.

I dont have VS2005 installed, can someone who has VS2005 quickly check if the following compiles?

#define myprint(fmt, args_...) _snprintf(str, fmt, ##args_)<br />
char str[64];<br />
myprintf("hello %s", "world");

thanks!

VC8 does support it, you've got the syntax wrong though. It should be

#define foo(fmt,...) _snprintf(str,fmt,<font color=red>__VA_ARGS__</font>)

More info[^]

Cool, that is what I was looking for. Thanks.

Now one more thing - is there any preprocessor variable that indicates what compiler is compiling the code? I want to write this macro seperately once for VC8 and once for VC6/VC7 so that the code can still be compiled with the older compiler, just in case someone wants to use the older compilers.

thanks!

Try using this.

DWORD flags;

BOOL chk=InternetGetConnectedState(&flags, NULL);
if(chk)
AfxMessageBox("Connected");
else
AfxMessageBox("Not Connected");

How do I magnify a section fo the screen?

Greetings,

I'm new to VC++ and the MFC (been programming text based games in C for 10 years) and I've decided to give VC++ a shot. I have worked with some DirectX 8 and 9 over the last few months (modifying what someone else wrote and using MSDN to understand it all). Anyways, what I'm trying to do is create an application that will do a couple things:

1.) Copy the pixel/bitmap information of the center of the screen (let's say 50x50 pixels)
2.) Draw a black box in the center of the screen (multiple of the above [1.5-4x])
3.) Scale the stored pixel/bitmap information to match the size of the box.
4.) Draw the new bitmap in the box.

Also, I'm wondering if it is possible to make this an overlay to some fullscreen application (for example a 3D game). The purpose of this application is to offer a "zoom" function in Blizzard's World of Warcraft MMORPG game. I have managed to hook DirectX and then modifying the Field of View (which works wonderfully), but I have come across a problem. Due to the nature of my code (hooking Dx9), the game thinks I'm using some type of cheat. Blizzard froze my account and after explaining what I was doing (and sending them my code), they unbanned me and told me I'd have to come up with a different method that did not involve attaching to WoW's process. The person I spoke with said that my little project was such a good idea that he'd pass it on to the dev-team. This is all fine and good, but I am now very curious as to how I can go about this independently of the game. Besides, I'm sure the dev-team won't have this feature in the game for quite some time (if they even consider it needed).

I figure the best approach would be using GDI/GDI+ for this, unless it is possible to do in DirectX or OpenGL without hooking WoW's process. I just have no idea where to start looking for information. Most of my searching has turned up articles on the inefficiency of GetPixel() and how using other GDI functions is much more efficient. Or I come across some pre-built application with no source code to learn from OMG | :OMG:

. On another note, I'm wondering if my overlay will "flicker" due to the fact the game is rendering constantly (90-100 frames per second) and my application will just render as fast as it can loop (without hording the CPU). I know that some applications can place overlays on games without a problem (such as xFire) and I wonder how.

Any ideas, snippets, or places of intrest to look?

Thanx so much,
Rapture2k4

I am new to DirectX, and very cofused by your question.
As I know, capturing screen is very easy in DirectX, then StrechBlt() the image captured to larger area - this is all you need to do.

I hope I understand your question correctly.

by the way, do you know how to capture screen faster in DirectX? - I mean, by what functions or packge (DirectShow, DirectDraw etc.)? My current program is about capture screen, I need to capture full screen in 50 ms, but I can not do it, I can not capture so fast.

Well, I dunno which method you use, but I found this one (I haven't tested it yet):

http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/screencap.asp#And%20The%20DirectX%20way%20of%20doing%20it%20:

I'm sure it is faster then 50ms.

I had downloaded all software before here, but none of them was faster than 50 ms.
I will test the one you suggested - I can not remember if I downloaded it before.
