I seem to remember that I could get something similar to work. Probably I am completely wrong here. Everybody says we cannot directly use CString in switch. Thank Cedric and Zac for pointing this out.

can you verify with me this syntax
if (rvalue=="0")AfxMessageBox("Communication Error");
else if (rvalue=="A")AfxMessageBox("Checksum Error");
else if (rvalue=="H")AfxMessageBox("Data Length Error");
else m_baud.AddString(rvalue);
is it correct?
zzzzzzzz

It is correct, though I loathe that formatting

Ahh come on, Zac. You know how the compiler hates messing with all of those superfluous spaces and carriage returns! They need to be removed for better performance.

I'm just waiting for someone to post code like this:
if (rvalue=="0")AfxMessageBox("Communication Error");else if (rvalue=="A")AfxMessageBox("Checksum Error");else if (rvalue=="H")AfxMessageBox("Data Length Error");else m_baud.AddString(rvalue);
And ask for help finding problems with it ...

switch (rvalue)
This won't work unless rvalue is an integral type or of a class type for which there is an unambiguous conversion to integral type.

case uses ordinal values, try a single character from the string such as '0', 'Z' etc..

Did you mean integral here?

hi.
i would like to get the content (graphics) of a window whose HWND i have, but it is not visible (meaning, visible as in WM_VISIBLE, but not to the human eye i.e. concealed by other windows).
And i would like to do this without bringing the window to the front, as this takes too much time.
i tried the following:
<pre>
HDC hdcWind = GetDC(windowHWND);
HDC hdcComp = CreateCompatibleDC(hdcWind);
HBITMAP hbmWind = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdcWind,
GetDeviceCaps(hdcWind, HORZRES),
GetDeviceCaps(hdcWind, VERTRES));
SelectObject(hdcComp,hbmWind);
BitBlt(hdcComp,0,0,100,100,hdcWind,0,0,SRCCOPY);
</pre>
Then to display the result i did:
<pre>
HDC hdcScreen = CreateDC("DISPLAY",NULL,NULL,NULL);
BitBlt(hdcScreen,0,0,100,100,hdcComp,0,0);
ReleaseDC(hdcWind);
</pre>
It draws an image onto the left top corner of my screen. The size is correct and the top left corner of the drawing is even taken from the correct point (top left corner of the windowHWND !!). But the contents of the drawing is the background at the moment of execution. As if he gets the window, uses its position to take the "picture", but the window is "invisible" and gets only the background.
Every and any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you

I am not sure but try sending the WM_PRINT meesage to the window.
In ur case pass the hdcComp as the wparam of the message. i think u will get the screenshot of the window in that dc.

I tried it just now. But the drawing is all completely black. It doesnt even print the NONCLIENT area.
I tried:
<pre>
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_PRINT, (WPARAM) hDCMem, PRF_CLIENT | PRF_NONCLIENT);
</pre>
and
<pre>
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_PRINT, (WPARAM) hDCMem, PRF_CLIENT | PRF_ERASEBKGND | PRF_NONCLIENT);
</pre>
Shouldnt it always be able to print the title bar etc. no matter which app. made the window? What does that mean, if everything is black.
thanks again

i tried it here, Its just working fine. see the code below( sorry that its mfc )
ShowWindow( FALSE );<br />
CWindowDC dc(this);<br />
CRect WindRect;<br />
GetWindowRect( WindRect );<br />
m_MemDC.CreateCompatibleDC( &dc );<br />
m_bmp.CreateCompatibleBitmap( &dc, WindRect.Width(), WindRect.Height());<br />
m_MemDC.SelectObject( &m_bmp );<br />
SendMessage( WM_PRINT, (WPARAM)m_MemDC.m_hDC,PRF_CLIENT | PRF_NONCLIENT|PRF_ERASEBKGND);<br />
CWindowDC Desk(0);<br />
Desk.BitBlt( 0,0,WindRect.Width(), WindRect.Height(), & m_MemDC,0,0,SRCCOPY );
The above code paints the window to the desktop.

hmmm....sorry to ask you this, but i am really a beginner at windows programming
-my ShowWindow doesnt just take 1 parameter
-what is m_MemDC ?(what kind of object, DC or what?)
-must i work with CWindowDC ? how do i create a CWindowDC with a HWND ? i dont have a 'this' in this program
thanks alot

hi..
i have tried alot the whole day, with no success
basically, using the SendMessage function, gives me a completely black image. always. bitblt works, but only if window is visible.
i copied your code, got it working (i know what mfc, CWindowDC and all that is now ).
but still the returned image is all black.
have you got any clue what the problem could be?
thanks alot

here is a non-mfc version of the code. this code will draw the image to the desktop.If u have any other windows in the desktop plz minimize them before testing this code.
::ShowWindow( m_hWnd, FALSE );<br />
HDC hdc = ::GetDC(m_hWnd);<br />
RECT WindRect;<br />
::GetWindowRect( m_hWnd, &WindRect );<br />
HDC MemDC = ::CreateCompatibleDC( hdc );<br />
HBITMAP bmp = CreateCompatibleBitmap( hdc, WindRect.right - WindRect.left, WindRect.bottom- WindRect.top );<br />
SelectObject( MemDC,bmp );<br />
SendMessage( WM_PRINT, (WPARAM)MemDC,PRF_CLIENT | PRF_NONCLIENT|PRF_ERASEBKGND);<br />
HDC DeskDc = ::GetDC(0);<br />
BitBlt( DeskDc,0,0,WindRect.right - WindRect.left, WindRect.bottom- WindRect.top , MemDC,0,0,SRCCOPY );

how do u verify the image in the dc? I mean how u came in to conclusion that the images is black?

hi nave
thanks for the reply again
your code goes exactly the same thing too. actually almost exactly. basically it draws a black rectangle onto my screen excatly the size of the window in question. usually the whole rectangle was completely black. with your code, there's a 'hole' in the black rectangle, where i can see the desktop background and around it all is black.
any ideas?
cheers mate

The screen does not have "thickness". When Window A is covered by Window B on the screen, you won't be able to get the portion of A right behinde B. If you really want it, you have to maintain a double buffer (memory DC) for each window. Then, you may retrieve any portion of a window from its double buffer.

i see. so what can i do? its a window from another app. not mine. i just want to take shots of it without bringing it up front.
thanks

If the window is not yours and covered by another window, there is no way to get the content behind. You still can take a snapshot, but the snapshot will save exactly what you CAN see only.

Windows System Programming (Third Edition) by Johnson M. Hart has some chapters about Win64. Maybe you want to have a look.
In general there should not be a great difference between Win32 & Win64 apart from the obvious ones. Search for any conditional compiled code under _WIN32 directive. Consider if such code will work in Win64 and if so (most likely) add the _WIN64 directive there.
Also when you are using pointer arithmetic do not hardwire the sizes but use the sizeof operator. Well, most of us do that anyway so should not be a problem.
Keeping things simple is a great art
