Re: How can I convert to TIFF file format?

As Christian said, use GDI+. Be aware that it supports only SOME TIFF files. (Look at TIFF as a container of an image; how the image is actually formatted/compressed is essentially infinite. Before you get too alarmed, there are TIFF formats Apple has never published.) Fortunately, GDI+ handles the more common formats.

But using GDI+, can I convert any file format to tiff? Or only image file to tiff?

I don't understand your question since GDI+ only handles image files.

Ok, but libtiff only convert image file to tiff file. I need to convert any file (readable) to tiff format.

Right, which means you're going to have to do some work.

Starting with libjpeg to decompress jpegs and libpng to decompress pngs. gifs are easy to read, and bmps are trivial; those should cover most image formats.

Otherwise, if you don't need to build this into your program, irfanview will probably do what you want.

Hello!

I have tried to create a jar-file in MS-DOS on this way:

jar cmf MittProg.txt MittProg.jar *.class

but... when I click on "enter" I see this:
jar is not a command, program or program file.

I have been on: java.sun.com/getjava
and I did install JRE but nothing happens.

what should I do, or how can I on some another way create a jar-file?

Please, help me...I will be very thankful! Smile | :)

Crash in MFC extension DLL [modified]

i am using some JNI code and talking to a MFC extension DLL

Any ideas on this ?

Well you likely do not have the prerequisit envornment for creating a window since you are running in a Java Console Process! No WinMain no message queue etc.

Invoke Self-Registration of an ActiveX

Christopher Stratmann12-Jul-06 8:11

Christopher Stratmann

12-Jul-06 8:11

I have a .ocx file that I am trying to install on many computers. I have found code in MSDN which shows how to register ActiveX in Visual 6.0 C++. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177531.aspx[^] I successfully put this code into my application so before my program starts up it checks the registry to see if the activeX is installed and if it is not then it will copy the file to the C:\ and install it. This is working for admins only right now.

I copy it to the C:\ and not the system32 folder because the user that is logged on may not have admin rights to do so.

My problem is installing ActiveX will not work if the user doesn't have admin rights. I have tried with my program and using "regsvr32.exe C:\my.ocx" which returns and error stating "DllRegisterServer in C:\my.ocx failed. Return code was: 0x8002801c".

I know there is a function where I can run a batch file as another user (like an admin user) but I dont have a global admins userid and password.

Is there anyway to register an ActiveX with a less privileged user?

Thanks Chris

You aren't going to leave it this way, are you?

So can't you just assign those (rights) via AdjustTokenPrivileges()?

I looked that the list of (rights) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/privilege_constants.asp[^] and I am having trouble with which one to turn on. I have tried SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_LOAD_DRIVER_NAME and they dont seem to work.

I also found a class that I think helps with the setting of privileges. http://www.codeproject.com/system/NtRegistry.asp[^]. I used the function EnablePrivilege with these two setting and still no luck?

I dont know what to do about putting them on the C:\. I could put it in the "All Users\Documents" folder via CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS. Do you have any better ideas?

Checking if a window is minimized

Since I didn't want to use MFC after reading all the tutorials on here for minimizing an application to the system tray, I did some research and made it so my program has a tray icon. Now, my only problem is, how do you detect when a window's minimize button is pressed in Win32? I've scoured MSDN and asked on a few forums, but nobody seems to be willing to give a direct answer.

I got it to work another way, but this is nice to know. Thanks.

Now I have another problem. Apparantly it doesn't respond to this:

[code]case WM_TRAYMESSAGE:
{
if(lParam == WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
{
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOWDEFAULT);
}
} break;[/code]

Any ideas? Confused | :confused:

             {<br />

Yes, it is. I was following various articles on here and tried various paramters for it. What I have it now at is this:
#define WM_TRAYMESSAGE (WM_USER + 1)

And this is the code I have for filling the structs for NOTIFYICONDATA:

    nid.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);<br />
    nid.hWnd = hWnd;<br />
    nid.uID = 0;<br />
    nid.uFlags = NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP;<br />
    nid.uCallbackMessage = WM_TRAYMESSAGE;<br />
    HICON hIco = LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON));<br />
    nid.hIcon = hIco;<br />
    strncpy( nid.szTip, "App name", 64 );<br />
<br />
    ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);<br />
    Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &nid);<br />
<br />
    if(hIco) { DestroyIcon(hIco); }

If you need any more code, I'll post it for you.

Well, adding the tray icon works fine. The icon shows up and can be removed just fine.

The debugger doesn't seem to want to work. I might have to try a different IDE and see if it will make the compiler build the file with debugging info. When trying to get the debugger to work, this warning started to come up and it is now coming up all the time when I build my project.

<quote>Project : Win32 Application

This is the code it is pointing to:

                      "Our First Windowed Program",   // title of the window<br />

                      NULL);    // used with multiple windows, NULL

The last NULL in the list is the line the compiler points to. Could this warning have an affect on the program not detecting when I click the icon?
