Paint sucks on decreasing color depth. Irfan View, for instance, is really better.

try UPX to pack and compress your executeable files.

Member 4470227,
I don't know software you mentioned.
Is mspaint.exe PaintBrush or Paint program of Windows default tool?
Or how to get them for free?

The paint program is pbrush.exe, and has been part of the OS install since Windows 3, if not before. It's got better as the years go on though!

couldn't you use JPEG instead of BMP images? depending on size and complexity JPEG tends to compress images by a factor of 3 to 10 to 30.

With Visual Studio 2005, under Linker Optimization, make sure you are eliminating unreferenced data, enable COMDAT folding and set Optimize for Windows98 to No.
Check if you are overusing templates. They tend to chew up a lot of space. You could also turn off intrinsic functions. Under code generation, turn off "Buffer Security Check" (some will disagree, if you read up on it, you'll find it's nearly useless, but does use space.) Under Language, i always turn of Run-Time Type Info (savings is small, but I never use it so why not?) Reexamine everything you are linking to; sometimes you use a tiny function that pulls in a huge amount of code even though you don't really need it.
If your resource bitmaps are big, consider PNG or JPG.

What software can do the change?
As I tested, both PaintBrush and PhotoShop (version 6) can not do.
How about CorelDraw? I have CorelDraw but didn't install.
Decreasing the color depth may do the trick, provided you have many big images. Anyway this doesn't affect the executable's size when it is loaded in memory, I guess (unless you dynamically load, and then discard, images).
IrfanView [^] a freeware image viewer, is very good in decreasing image color depth.

//-----------------------------------
It does affect exe size, when I change bmp from 24 bits to 256 color, exe size becomes smaller.

Why the output is '32', while my expected is '28'.

How are you calculating 28? By adding size of individual members? If yes, see what MSDN is saying.
When the sizeof operator is applied to a class, struct, or union type, the result is the number of bytes in an object of that type, plus any padding added to align members on word boundaries. The result does not necessarily correspond to the size calculated by adding the storage requirements of the individual members.

Structure sizes don't work that way - there may be (will be in this case) be padding between items of different types in a structure, dependent on the type's default alignment. Have a look at this Wikipedia page[^] that explains the concept.
However, there is a way around the default alignments, using #pragma pack to alter structure packing. So, if you put the following line before your structure definitions, you'll find you get the output you expect:
#pragma pack(1)

Thanks. I add "#pragma pack(4)", and it works as I wish.

|

Not #pragma pack(1)?

Yes, not #pragma pack(1). I put it in my program, and the output was "22".

Hi All,
I need to remove duplicate lines in a text file, need to use that output file for other functions.
Can any one suggest me how to remove the duplicate lines in a text file

Read the file, sort the contents, discard the duplicates and write the remaining lines to a new file.
Or did I misunderstand the question?

Hi Thanks for yuor reply.
How can i sort the text file using C++ code.
If you have any piece of code please expain me with that
|

The qsort() function provides a simple sort mechanism, or you could use the STL vector<> type. See the MSDN documentation for complete details.

How about std::sort()?

read text lines from file and save them to vector(or other container),
then sort the vector and unique it.
|
|
|
|
|
Please give me te\he piece of code to read from vector, confirm me whether that will work on win32 VC++ project
|
|

One example, assuming you are storing ints in the vector, looks like:
vector<int> nums;
for (vector<int>::iterator i = nums.begin(); i != nums.end(); i++)
cout << *i << endl;;
