Re: Screen Capturing in JPG format and not Bitmap

Use GDI+ to save to JPG. Once you have a HBITMAP containing the screenshot do Something like this (can't remember the correct objects/methods now so you will have to look them up, but it generally goes something like this):

Gdiplus::Bitmap Img; //or maybe Gdiplus::Image...
Img.Attach(hbitmap_screenshot); //or fromHBITMAP()...
Img.Save(path_to_save_to, Gdiplus::ImageFormatJPEG);
Img.Detach();

Problem in building DLL

Hi,

I am moving project from MS Visual studio 7.1 to 8.0, in this I am facing problems in building DLL. Many projects get build successfully but while building one project compiler throws error as
"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc\include\afx.h(24) : fatal error C1189: #error : Building MFC application with /MD[d] (CRT dll version) requires MFC shared dll version. Please #define _AFXDLL or do not use /MD[d]"

I didn't get how to solve this problem.

compiler throws this error only when building debug DLL and not in release DLL.

Please help me...... Frown | :(

I don't know VS8.0, we're still using 7.x, but to me it looks like you are trying to link to MFC staticly but to CRT dinamycally and it doesn't like that. Does that make sense?

What reason would be behind this....??

You have different settings for different targets? You can setup things so your debug builds use dynamic and your release builds use static linking or the other way around. Sometimes it happens that someone makes changes to the project settings but forgets to make those to all targets and only applies them to the currently set one and then when others try to build the release, bang, problem. I know it has happened to us a few times too, like i added additional include folders to the debug target but forgot to add them to the release target so when others tried to build the release, multiple "no such file or directoy"s. Fun.

Your requirements define a global variable.

With no luck, I suppose...

Actually extern will solve your problem, for instance, declare it extern in a common included header, say commonheader.h:

// This is commonheader.h

// Global variable declaration
extern int g_iMyCounter; 
//...

Then define it inside only one source file, for instance

// This is main.cpp

// Global variable definition
int g_iMyCounter;
//...

Finally include commonheader.h in whathever source file needs such variable, for instance

// this is auxiliary.cpp
#include "commonheader.h"

int incrementMyCounter()
{
  return ++g_iMyCounter;
}
//...

If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

The purpoue of extern is to solve this situation. Check out this link[^].

Well, I recommend to go for a singleton class[^] with name CGlobalData [according to your choice], and make all your required global variables as its members. Then you could access your singleton class from all cpp files and can access the global data as well. Its more object oriented and more easier to maintain than global variables.

Jijo.

Your solution should work in environments where an 'int' is 4-bytes (=equivalent to 'long').

str.Format("%ld",num);<br />

should work everywhere (the 'l'-prefix indicates that 'num' is a long decimal).

I have created Property Sheet and Pages using Win32 SDK. Now I need to modify a edit box on a Page. The piece of code is

HWND hPropSheet = GetActiveWindow();
HWND hPropPage0=PropSheet_GetCurrentPageHwnd(hDlg);
SetDlgItemText(hPropPage0,IDC_EDIT1,(LPCWSTR)szBuffer);

Is this correct? I am not able to get the Handle to window to the Property Sheet ..... Please help Confused | :confused:

Hi all,

I want to get my hard disk name I am using WMI to get it. I have Initialized com using CoInitializeEx, then i have set security levels using CoInitializeSecurity, then i Obtain the initial locator to WMI, then i have Connected to WMI through the IWbemLocator::ConnectServer method but my problem is i am not getting the right api to get hard disk name.. how can i get it???

IWbemServices *pSvc = NULL;
	
hres = pLoc->ConnectServer(
         _bstr_t(L"ROOT\\CIMV2"), // Object path of WMI namespace
         NULL,                    // User name. NULL = current user
         NULL,                    // User password. NULL = current
         0,                       // Locale. NULL indicates current
         NULL,                    // Security flags.

         0,                       // Context object 
         &pSvc                    // pointer to IWbemServices proxy

First of all Set IWbemServices proxy security so that WMI service can impersonate the client by calling CoSetProxyBlanket.

Then Get Physical disks Installed on the system using ExecQuery().

Did you try to execute query using pSvc like
example from MSDN

// For example, get the name of the operating system
    IEnumWbemClassObject* pEnumerator = NULL;
    hres = pSvc->ExecQuery(
        bstr_t("WQL"), 
        bstr_t("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem"),
        WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY, 
        NULL,
        &pEnumerator);

for disk information
you have to try some thing like

SELECT * from Win32_DiskDrive

I hope it helps.
