The version of the platform SDK is not necessarily compatible with VC6. The latest that MS recommend you use is FEB 2003, although I've also found that the XPSP2 update one works.

Optimizing the Code

Hi,

I Select an Image on to a CompatibleDC .I get each Pixel and check to see whether Red,Green,Blue of that Pixel are same or not.If so I perform Some Operations and change the color of that Pixel Using SetPixel.
and then Finally I Stretchblt it on to my ClientDC.

HBITMAP hBmpObjSmpl = imgObjSample.GetBMP();
	bmpSample.Attach(hBmpObjSmpl);	
	
	CDC dcMem;
	dcMem.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
	HBITMAP hOldBitmap=(HBITMAP)dcMem.SelectObject(bmpSample);
	
	//Get the bitmap info
	BITMAP bm;
	bmpSample.GetBitmap(&bm);
	
//Render the object with Sample color
for(int i=0;i < bm.bmWidth ; i++)
for(int j=0;j < bm.bmHeight ; j++)
	{
			COLORREF clr = dcMem.GetPixel(i,j);
			int R = GetRValue(clr);
			int G = GetGValue(clr);
			int B = GetBValue(clr);
			if( (R == G) && (G == B))
			{
				R = (R-nMaxRGB)  + dblSampleRGB[0];
				G = (G -nMaxRGB) + dblSampleRGB[1];
				B = ( B -nMaxRGB ) + dblSampleRGB[2];
				R=R*dblillumination;
				G=G*dblillumination;
				B=B*dblillumination;
				if(R>255)
					R=255;
				if(R<0)
					R=0;
				if(G>255)
					G=255;
				if(G<0)
					G=0;
				if(B>255)
					B=255;
				if(B<0)
					B=0;
				dcMem.SetPixel(i,j,RGB(R,G,B));
			}
		}
		
		pDC->SetStretchBltMode(HALFTONE);
		pDC->StretchBlt(rcSample.left,rcSample.top,rcSample.right-rcSample.left,rcSample.bottom - rcSample.top,&dcMem,0,0,bm.bmWidth,bm.bmHeight,SRCCOPY);

		// Perform the clean-up
		dcMem.SelectObject((HBITMAP)hOldBitmap);
		bmpSample.DeleteObject();
		dcMem.DeleteDC();

As I need to Perform the same Operation 16 times in my OnPaint() to view the picture 16 times in 4x4 row matrix its becoming very slow.I could see each row painting and its taking around 3 secs .

Each time the Operation is Performed only these values dblSampleRGB[0],dblSampleRGB[1],dblSampleRGB[2] in code logic vary.

I want the whole OnPaint Operation to be Performed Instantaneously. So any suggetions to Optimize my code would be helpful.

Thanks

I haven't gone through your code but I would like to suggest a memory bitmap.

Write a dedicated class called CMemDc and ask it to do the stuff for you. Search google with "Memory DC VC++".

Directly doing the drawing into this dc and dumping the drawing will help in reducing flicker. Saving this drawing will help further. But you will have to take care of other things.

These are some quick suggestions. Smile | :)

Using GetPixel and SetPixel is SLOW! Every call needs to calculate the offset into the pixel
data.

I would start with a DIBSection - an HBITMAP that can be selected into a DC but you can directly
access the pixel data using a pointer.

See CreateDIBSection[^]

The CImage class can help wrap the DIBsection since you're using MFC.

How to get the drives name and type?

Hi All,
In my application i need to identify the drives available in my PC and the type(Ex: USB Floppy / Removable Disk etc -- The same way as shown in "MyComputer")
But while using the "GetDriveType" API, it returns only the type as DRIVE_UNKNOWN / DRIVE_REMOVABLE etc., But here i should know whether its a USB floppy or a removable one. Can anyone of you help me?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Rgds,
Sri..

Hi,

Hope this helps ...
Take the following into consideration, and then have a look a the function _getdrive() on MSDN.

curdrive = _getdrive();
for( drive = 1; drive <= 26; drive++ )
{
  if( curdrive == drive )
  {
     sprintf(lpdrive, "%c:\\", drive + 'A' - 1 );
     sprintf(szDirPath,"%s",lpdrive);
     CreateDirectory(szDirPath, NULL);
  }
}

Regards,

Sorry didn't read the whole question ... thus my answer won't help, seeing that you want the physical name. Smile | :)

"QueryDosDevice" API shall be used for getting the deivce path name. And after that we can search for the string "floppy" in the return string of QueryDosDevice.

what is the difference bet these throw.

Yes.
See Steve's reply for this.

I guess, there should be virtual specifier mentioned.
These are pure virtual functions(assuming virtual specifier).

Yes

This actually means that the function does ***NOT*** throw any exceptions. On a compiler that supports exception specifications if the function does try to throw one std::unexpected is called which usually terminates the program.

If you wanted these icons in message box, then you can mention it while displaying message box only.
e.g.

AfxMessageBox(_T("Error message"),MB_ICONERROR);//for error 
AfxMessageBox(_T("Error message"),MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);//for exclamaition

In other places see following methods.

M. Atul wrote:

Use IDI_ERROR.

M. Atul wrote:

Use IDI_EXCLAMATION.

Use LoadIcon[^] and SetIcon to load these predefined icons.

As explained earlier, AfxMessageBox should suffice you if you are not doing any customization with it.
Otherwise, Override OnInitDialog to look it something similar to,

BOOL CMyDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
  // other initialization code
   ...
   SetIcon(LoadIcon(NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ERROR)),FALSE);//set the icon
   return TRUE;  // return TRUE  unless you set the focus to a control
}
