There are companies which are specialized in restoring data from damaged hard drives. You better try that.

Your really in bad luck to have no backup. Cry | :((

Sure, there's a very good reason why not. The high-level code (e.g., C, Pascal, and maybe VB) is not part of the binary file that the linker produces. An in-depth study of compilers (not using them, but creating them) may be in your future.

well, if we all understand you, you cannot really, easily and practically "dissassemble" (google that) a existing application.

so, in short, no.

One presumes that by 'split', you mean 'decompile'[^].

I also found this page[^], which seems to describe your situation exactly.

That's excellent. Although it should probably also introduce the concept of Backing Up Your Files. I mean you "lost" your source code. It's not like a plane crashed and left you deserted on a magical time traveling island in the middle of the pacific. I mean you "lost" your source code so it's something you could have prevented.

I'm just saying. Laugh | :laugh:

Personally, I'd go for a backed up version control system - belt AND braces...

I just wish that the OP could find a decompiler likely to work on his MFC app...and that I could see the look on his face when he runs it and sees the obfuscated gunk that it generates Smile | :)

That'll teach him to backup properly Smile | :)

Mem Usage keeps increasing

Can someone please help me as to why the mem usage in task manager is increasing when I run this loop.

What can I change for it not to do that?

do
    {
        for (x=1;x<27;x++)
        {
            m_bmpCtrl.RedrawWindow();
            strFileName = "F:\\Pictures\\Pic";
            _itoa_s(x,Temp,sizeof(Temp),10);
            strFileName += Temp;
            strFileName += ".bmp";
            m_bmpCtrl.LoadFile(strFileName);
            m_bmpCtrl.RedrawWindow();
            ProcessMessages();
            ::Sleep(1500);
            ProcessMessages();
            y++;
        }
    }while (bDoLoop);

Thanks a million.

Why would you expect it to do otherwise? See here for why Task Manager is not a good measure of a program's memory consumption.

As far as cleanup goes, you can replace

strFileName = "F:\\Pictures\\Pic";				
_itoa_s(x,Temp,sizeof(Temp),10);				
strFileName += Temp;				
strFileName += ".bmp";

with

strFileName.Format("F:\\Pictures\\Pic%d.bmp", x);

I guess the code is fine as is. I really wasn't checking on the mem usage in task manager but was looking for something there and noticed the usage kept increasing.

If you need to load a new file, the resources has to be properly released if it's anymore used. So please release the buffers and handles associated with
LoadFile operation. I think the other part of the code is just fine.

I used the following sample code to do it.

I am not sure what I am looking for in order to release the handles.

Thanks for you help in advance.

I have put this and now the Memory is not as bad but it keeps increasing.

HBITMAP test = m_bmpCtrl.hBitmap;
		if (test)
			{
				DeleteObject(test);
				
			}

Can someone please help

What's the type of m_bmpCtrl variable? There will be direct functions exposed in the class to clear the attached resources

also the way you released the resources is quite wrong. if you're explicity releasing the resource, it's your responsibility to assign it as NULL. Otherwise the next call this function may crash, as you've released the previously and the m_bmpCtrl.hBitmap still holds an junk(invalid) handle. also why it's necessary to create a temporary variable? the following way is straight forward no?

if (m_bmpCtrl.hBitmap)
			{
				DeleteObject(m_bmpCtrl.hBitmap);
				m_bmpCtrl.hBitmap = NULL;
			}

Thank you. That has partly solved it. Yes there was no point creating extra variable.

The m_bmpCtrl is of CBitmapCtrl class.

I am new at this and am learning. Thanks for all your help It's greatly appreciated.

Clipbaord copy

I have an client application which as files i need to copy the a selected file into clipboard and paste it on the desktop or any where outside my client application
Within my client application i am able to copy and paste files but not outside my client application.

Here is the code
void SetClipBoardStringData(CString str, int format )
{
EmptyClipboard();
CString text = str;
HANDLE hGlobalMemory = GlobalAlloc(GHND, (DWORD)(text.GetLength()+1));
HANDLE lpGlobalMemory = GlobalLock(hGlobalMemory);
memcpy(lpGlobalMemory,(text),(text.GetLength())+1);
SetClipboardData(format,lpGlobalMemory);
GlobalUnlock(lpGlobalMemory);
GlobalFree(hGlobalMemory);
}

I am calling this function.
SetClipBoardStringData(sStrXML,CF_TEXT);
This copies the sStrXML to the clipboard.This sStrXml contains the file contents.
Now i want this clipboard contents to be availale outside the application so that i can paste it another application like notepad or a file in desktop.
How do i do it?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
