AFAIK no.

From a quick look at article source code, it looks like the pixel data section (after the CaptureDIB call) is in memory just after the BITMAPINFO struct (like bitmap files).

In that case, does anybody know of any existing libraries that will allow me to simply capture pixel data from a video device?

Hi VC++ programmers,
how to programmatically and silent create MSWord document using .dot file as a template and data from dialog based app ? Env: VS6, WordXP/Word2003, WinXP.
Thanks in advance.

Create an instance of Word's Application object, then use the Add method of the Application's Documents property to create the document - you can specify the template in that method call.

Don't know what you mean by "data from dialog based app"

I mean get text from various fields and insert into specific places in document.

Well - getting text from dialog fields - you can find that out from any number of places - this link[^] should help.

As for inserting into the document - well, you need to navigate through the document using the Word object model. The Document object has a Content property, which is a Range object representing the main flow of text in the document. A Range object has various properties (like Paragraphs or Characters properties) that allow you to manipulate the text in the document. Prototype in Visual BASIC - it's a lot quicker and easier.

CDaoRecordset Problem..

Hi friends,
Below line contain my code.I m writting data into the text file.i have acess database and i write this databse into text file format. my access databse table contain 99 records and i m using CDaoRecordset MoveNext() to get next record data.Problem is that i get record till 18 its ok but after that i get 20 position record and afterthat i get 19 position record.then i get 26 to 30 position record and then i get 21 to 25 record data.But data in the database table is sequentially.So why this problem will occour i wont understand.

Plz help me..

m_pRecordSet = new CDaoRecordset(m_pDatabase);
CString strTablename = _T("pdpstate");
m_pRecordSet->Open(dbOpenTable,strTablename);
int nRecordCnt = m_pRecordSet->GetRecordCount();
int nFieldCnt = m_pRecordSet->GetFieldCount();

CDaoFieldInfo cTempdaoFieldInfo;
CString csSetID,csFieldStr;
CStdioFile cTestFile;
cTestFile.Open(_T("d:\\Jitu45.txt"),CStdioFile::modeCreate | CStdioFile::modeWrite);

for(int nfCnt = 0; nfCnt < nFieldCnt; nfCnt++)
{
m_pRecordSet->GetFieldInfo(nfCnt,cTempdaoFieldInfo);
cTestFile.WriteString(cTempdaoFieldInfo.m_strName);
cTestFile.WriteString(_T(","));

}
cTestFile.WriteString(_T("\n"));

while(!m_pRecordSet->IsEOF())
{
COleVariant variantTemp;
//..// Move through fields in current record..
int nFields = m_pRecordSet->GetFieldCount();
for ( int i=0; i < nFields; i++ )
{
variantTemp.Clear();
variantTemp = m_pRecordSet->GetFieldValue(i);
csSetID.Format(_T("%d"),variantTemp.intVal);
cTestFile.WriteString(csSetID);
cTestFile.WriteString(_T(","));
}
cTestFile.WriteString(_T("\n"));
m_pRecordSet->MoveNext();
}

cTestFile.Close();

ORDER BY can be achieved by setting the COLUMN_NAME by which you want to sort the records to the "m_strSort" member of the CDaoRecordset class.

_variant_t to CString

Hi All

How can i convert _variant_t to CString?

CPallini15-Sep-09 0:21

15-Sep-09 0:21

I suppose you need the string representation of the _variant_t value.
You've to properly format a CString object, depending on the value of the vt member of the encapsulated VARIANT struct. For instance

CString str;
_variant_t v1;

v1 = 0.53;


switch (v1.vt)
{
  //...
case VT_R8:
  str.Format(_T("%g"), v1.dblVal);
  break;
  //...
}

MessageBox(str, _T("Variant value"));

Stuart Dootson15-Sep-09 0:30

Noooooo - you don't need to bother with that - there's a VariantChangeType function that'll do that for you when you convert a VARIANT to a BSTR.

And even more conveniently, the combination of _variant_t extractor operators and CString constructors will do all that for you. A simple assignment of _variant_t to CString is all that's needed...

Use CComSafeArray[^].

_variant_t v;
// Assign a SAFEARRAY value to v
CComSafeArray<char, VT_UI1> sa(V_ARRAY(&v));
// Now we can access the SAFEARRAY using sa.

Thanks for responce.I hava a biray type data in _variant_t.
_variant_t v1;
v1=(54 '6',53 '5',52 '4',54 '6',52 '4',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);
Can i convert these values in CString or not.
Origal values is"65464".

Stuart Dootson15-Sep-09 0:28

In VS2008, this should do the job...

_variant_t v;
// Set a value in v
CString s = v;

CString has assignment operator and constructor overl;oads that take a const VARIANT&. _variant_t has an extrractor that returns a VARIANT.

I (and Microsoft, who wrote the _variant_t and CString code) have helped you - you just assign the _variant_t to the CString - what more do you want?!?!?!?!?

See what happen.

_variant_t vtValue;
vtValue = m_pRset->Fields->GetItem("Bianry")->GetValue();
CString b=vtValue;
output is b = "??4"
when i copy the vtValues at the time of debug then i got values 
safearray of UI1 = [20](54 '6',53 '5',52 '4',54 '6',52 '4',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

Any more information if you nedd then i will give you.

Stuart Dootson15-Sep-09 2:27

15-Sep-09 2:27

As it's an array, VariantChangeType's not going to work. So, I'd suggest the code below.

I'm assuming you want to access the non-null characters of the array and make them into a string?

CComSafeArray<char, VT_UI1> sa(V_ARRAY(&v));
CString s;
for(int index=sa.GetLowerBound();index<=sa.GetUpperBound()&&sa[index];++index)
{
   s+=sa[index];
}

[edit] You'll also need to #include atlsafe.h and oleauto.h [/edit]

Hi Stuart,

What do you think about this VT_UI1 SAFEARRAY to CStringA conversion method?

BSTR b;
BstrFromVector(pSA,&b);
CStringA s = (LPCSTR)b;

Best Wishes,
