Re: Rewrite 8-bit bmp image problem

25-Apr-02 22:38

Probaly the easiest way is to reorder the 16-color palette so tat it matches the 4-color one in the critical entries (which probably are the first five), and then do the copying.

Thanks for your reply!

I want to make the original and new bmp image displayed in same way.
So how to change the color data of the original bmp image (because
the pallet have been changed)?

Extern function template !?

I have a problem on extern function templates. The syntax compiles OK, but gets:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl Next(int)" (?Next@@YAHH@Z)

Only function templates cause such problem; general functions like
int MyFunction(void* p)
does not cause such problem.

My VC++ is 6.0 sp5.

Here is the example code...
In the first file main.cpp:

/* *********************** */
////////////
// main.CPP
#include <iostreamᡊe9ac73-238b-46be-991d-0f050c37248dusing namespace std;

template<class T> extern T Next(T val);

void main()
{
int a = Next(3);
cout << "a = " << a << endl;
}

/* *********************** */

In the second file function.cpp

///////////////////
// function.CPP

template<class Tᡊe9ac73-238b-46be-991d-0f050c37248dT Next(T val)
{
return val++;
}

Passing Parameter to hook DLL

25-Apr-02 20:54

As main.cpp does not see the definition of Next, which is hidden in function.cpp, it is required that function.cpp "exports" the instantiation of this template for ints like this:

template<class T>
T Next(T val)
{
return val++;
}
 
template int Next(int); //instantiate Next for ints

This is not a very smart design, as function.cpp has to know in advance for which types Next is going to be used. Usually, it is better to have the definition of all templates inside header files included by the "consumer" .cpps.

Hi,
Sorry guys, but how can i pass a parameter to
the dll which i've hooked to the system

Please help

Export some function to accept the parameters and have them stored in a data shared segment (if you need help about shared segments, check Phil McGahan's article How to share a data segment in a DLL.)

hi,
i did this.. and made a function setfilename(char *)
which changes the filename..

but in my DLL mail i am doing fopen.. but now the
file is not being created

#pragma data_seg (".HookSection")
// Shared instance for all processes.
static HHOOK hHook = NULL;
// Change 2
static char szFilename[_MAX_PATH] = "";
// Change 2
#pragma data_seg ()

Joaquín M López Muñoz25-Apr-02 22:34

25-Apr-02 22:34

setfilename does a strcpy to szFilename, right? If so, everything should work fine. Check the following:

Make sure the filename is correctly set by displaying it somehow (say with a MessageBox) right before calling fopen.
Maybe the file is being opened in a directry different to what you expected.

Progressbar as Part of Statusbar :: MFC

25-Apr-02 23:11

Actually i had put that code in DLLMain, but now it
is inside HookProc..

Now the problem is that when i run some application,
lot of entries of the same application are logged on
to my log file.. whereas first it was just one

Hi.

I would like to implement a progress bar one pane of the statusbar. Current, the statusbar has two panes. Pane 1 (index 0) is the default separator where you see "Ready." The second pane is contains the progressbar. Here is the code.

-----
CRect progressRect;
m_wndStatusBar.GetItemRect(1, &progressRect);
m_ProgressBar.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBPS_NOBORDERS | PBS_SMOOTH, progressRect, this, -1);
m_ProgressBar.SetRange(0, 100);
m_ProgressBar.SetPos(0);
-----

Here is the code that tests the progressbar.

-----
for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
{
{
m_ProgressBar.SetPos(i);
::Sleep(25);
}
}
-----

For some reason, I do not see any sign of the progressbar working. I have an option in the menu to start the for loop. However, I do not see any sign of the progressbar, period. I am using SDI. The code above are all part of main.

Thanks,
Kuphryn

If your doing this loop in your user interface thread, then its not allowing the messages generated from your loop to be processed. Try adding this into the loop:

MSG msg ;
while (::PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOYIELD | PM_REMOVE))
    {
    ::TranslateMessage(&msg) ;
    ::DispatchMessage(&msg) ;
    }

Why is it not allowing me to update the progress bar in the UI thread?

The UI thread pumps the windows messages that allows you controls to draw themselves. In your original function, you entered a lopp that updtaes the position in the control and then pauses the thread until you want to update it again. As the UI thread is not pumping the message queue in the loop, your controls never update, if effect the UI of your app is stalled until the function completes. You should then find all the messages get processed, and the progress will be shown at 100% complete.

I do not see the progressbar anywhere on the statusbar (in main) at all.

A member at Codeguru posted a segment of code he used for a something I am trying to implement. He used CDialogBar and CProgressCtrl.

Here is the link to that thread:

http://www.codeguru.com/cgi-bin/bbs/wt/showpost.pl?Board=vc&Number=367944&page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5

He used some really innovative MFC tools such as the CDialogBar and ShowControlBar() function. I have Jeff Prosise's MFC reference, but I do not remember Prosise mentioning those about those tools.

I had problems getting the code from the link above to run. I got the error "bardlg.cpp" debug error. Maybe you can test it out too.

Oh, I understand now. I receive a response at Gamedev about the UI thread (main frame) not able to update the progress bar. I am not familiar with the reason behind that.

I would like to have the progress bar in a pane of a statusbar. That means I will have to declare the progress bar in main (UI thread) and update it from there. If the UI thread cannot update the progress bar, then is it possible to even have a progress bar in main (UI thread) at all?

Okay. I finally implemented that progress bar in my program. It works great.

I have a question. A member at Anandtech posted a link to a source code from CodeProject. The author of the progress bar uses the function PeepAndPump(). He uses it to process other messages while the progress bar updates. I do not see that function in MSDN. Is there a similar function in MFC?

COM - History Extraction

Determining Active View :: MFC

Hi,
I am using the COM interface given below for getting
the history of Internet Explorer..

IEnumSTATURL* pIEnumSTATURL = NULL; // Enumerated URLs
UrlHistoryStg2* pUrlHistoryStg2 = NULL;

After getting the history i clear the history using
ClearHistory()\

And i am facing a problem, Sometimes some URLs are not deleted from the history and are there in it...
What may be the cause of this behaviour..
And how to delete them.

Regards
Sameer
