I;m writing a project that works with barcodes. The easiest way to work with them is to use them as font. The problem is that the font must be installes on the client computer.
Well, I'm looking for something different, where the user dossn't need to have or install the font, and the solution I came up with is to ave the font as a resource. This way the font will always be shipped with the program. Now the problem is how to use that font. That is, create a font object from a font definition which is a resource.
By the way, I dont want to copy the font to the font directory on the windows system.
Any clues or hints that can help me. Thanks in advance.

hi everyone,
in my sdi application, i created the 1st dialog by press on a button. within the 1st dialog, i created the 2nd dialog from the 1st dialog via a button click.. in the 2nd dialog, there is a button in it.. if the button in the 2nd dialog get clicked, the 2nd dialog is destory and returned me back to the 1st dialog.. is there a way to program the dialog so that if i click the button in the 2nd dialog, the 1st and 2nd dialog get to be destoyed at the same time?

there are many ways to do this, here's an easy one:
add a "bool" member variable to dlg 2. if the user presses the magic button on dlg 2, set that member variable to "true".
when dlg 2 ends, control is returned to dlg 1 (just after the dlg2.DoModal call). so, test dlg2.m_theBoolMemberVariableIJustDescribed. if it's "true" call OnCancel or OnOK.
-c

Hello,
I am trying to construct a CListView in the LVS_REPORT mode, but I still want an icon at the beginning of each line entry. Is this possible? I can create the listview, and list all the data, but I cannot seem to make the icons appear.
I have written the following code:
Construction of the listview:
int CLPSListView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
lpCreateStruct->style |= LVS_REPORT;
if (CListView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;
// Give the document a pointer to this view
GetDocument()->m_pListView = this;
return 0;
}
In another function where I initialise the data, I create the CImageList, and also the CListCtrlEx, which is a helper class for listviews I found in the MFC Help:
CListCtrlEx& ctlList = (CListCtrlEx&) GetListCtrl();
m_ctlImage.Create(16,16,ILC_COLOR,0,3);
HICON PTIcon = theApp.LoadIcon(IDB_CLOSED);
ASSERT(PTIcon);
m_ctlImage.Add(PTIcon);
PTIcon = theApp.LoadIcon(IDB_OPEN);
m_ctlImage.Add(PTIcon);
ctlList.SetImageList(&m_ctlImage);
I create the columns, no problem, and then use the CListCtrlEx method Additem:
var = rs.GetFieldValue("Readfld");
ctlList.AddItem(nItem,0,CCrack::strVARIANT(var),0);
The last zero refers to the imagelist index.
For completeness I attach the AddItem code in CListCtrlEx:-
BOOL CListCtrlEx::AddItem(int nItem,int nSubItem,LPCTSTR strItem,int nImageIndex)
{
LV_ITEM lvItem;
lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvItem.iItem = nItem;
lvItem.iSubItem = nSubItem;
lvItem.pszText = (LPTSTR) strItem;
if(nImageIndex != -1){
lvItem.mask |= LVIF_IMAGE;
lvItem.iImage |= LVIF_IMAGE;
}
if(nSubItem == 0)
return InsertItem(&lvItem);
return SetItem(&lvItem);
}
I would be very grateful to anyone who can suggest how to make the icon appear at the beginning of the line in this Report mode.
Thanks,
Paul Trimming

ListView_SetImageList(hwnd, ImgListHandle, LVSIL_SMALL);

Thanks for your reply, Roman.
By adding LVSIL_SMALL
(ctlList.SetImageList(&m_ctlImage1,LVSIL_SMALL);)
I got the listview to display the first loaded icon. (In the imagelist there are two different icons.) But the strange thing is that I have to put -1 in the actual line where I add the listitem, as follows:
ctlList.AddItem(nItem,NULL,CCrack::strVARIANT(var),-1);
If I put anything else, the icon disappears!!
As I have two icons in the imagelist, I should have thought I should put 0 or 1 in, and I should be able to vary which icon appears. (The -1 entry is the default.)
I would be most grateful for help as to why this is happening.
Thanks,

I'm trying....to write a program to compute phone bill with discounts and taxes....I got stumped though... I can't have the time with a 60 in it....How do I go about putting this in my code...and I need to compute to Taxes....I need to compute for before the taxes are added in with discounts where needed and with the tax after wards....any help would be grateful....

You need to use the formatting buttons above the emoticons below to add < and >, or check "Display message as is' above your signature below. I presume you added stdafx, iostream and what else ?
Also, using namespace std makes namespaces redundant. You should instead have
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
etc.
The way I format the above code block is to wrap it in a <pre> tag.

Because you already know the desired range before you start, this would be better as a for loop.
Also, I think your cin calls are failing, probably because you don't call cin.flush(). I entered one number and got full output of everything.

Again, this would be better as a for loop. You should also always set your variables a value when you create them, although in this case you do that in the second line, the two should be combined.
Also, endl does a flush as well as a new line. This is expensive, and should be avoided. cout << "\r\n" instead to avoid this extra penalty, and if ( as I suspect ) you're doing this for a class, comment the reason you've done so.
I presume your main problem is that you're having trouble calculating times because they cannot be greater than 59 for minutes ? I can't see where in the code you want to do this, but why can't you just do a while loop subtracting 60 from the minutes while they are > 60, and adding 1 to the hours every time ?

You are correct this is for a class....sometimes I just think to hard and get a block. I uderstand with the 60 but what i need is a error loop so if the user prints a 60 then an wrror message appears.... but if I do <60 then it won't let me process any number higher than 60? Any ideas for a code....Thank Christian!!

Well, say that the numer of hours is stored as m_hours, and the number of minutes as m_minutes, then you could do this:
if (m_minutes > 59)
{
cout << "Value entered greater than 59 minutes, converting to hours"
while(m_minutes > 59)
{
++m_hours;
m_minutes -= 60;
cout << ".";
}
cout << std::endl;
}
Ideally, you would probably ask the user if they want to re-enter the value, I'd think it's more likely to be an error. The easiest way to do this would be as follows:
int m_minutes = 0;
cout << "Please enter the number of minutes (0-59)";
do
{
cin >> m_minutes;
if (m_minutes < 0 || m_minutes > 59) cout "Invalid number entered, please try again ";
cin.flush();
} while (m_minutes < 0 || m_minutes > 59);

Thanks once a again Christian.....you make it looks so easy!!  Now how would I get my program to calcute the totals with and without tax.....would I just use my total sums of calls and then add tax....but how would get the discounts to calc. the price of the call and add it to my total? Or Am I just losing my mind??

Autunmsky wrote:

Yes, I'd declare a variable for the total, the another for the total with tax, and simply set that to be the total, then add tax.
Autunmsky wrote:

I'm not sure what you're tryng to do ? Could you break it down into a step by step process of what needs to be calculated and displayed, so I see what it is you want to end up with ?

ok here we go.....what i need to do it.....apply the discounts where needed which is already in the program. What i need it to do is give me the cost of the call with the discount...or discounts. Then at the end...final screen I need to show the cost of all of the calls before tax and the cost of the calls after tax.....but all discounts have to be applied before the cost of all of the calls beofre and after tax...does this help??
Autumn

So you need to keep the cost of the calls with discounts applied in one variable, and the discounts themselves in another variable, and then if you ever need to know the cost of the calls before discounts ( which seems not to happen too often, hence my suggestion that you do it this way ), then you can just add the discounts to the call costs.
Does that do it ?

i think that makes sense...now i just have to code it  ....with the 60 thing again....I have to do it in Military time....so if the user types 1860 I need it to send at error message....would I still do that the same way you suggested to do it before?

Your system overall is very fragile, I personally would have strings entered and then look for spaces or : or ., before chopping up the numbers. But it will work like this, just make sure the number is no more than 4 digits long, then to get the minutes you would say
minutes = total & 99;
and
hours = total - minutes;
I believe that's right, anyhow.
Once you have minutes and seconds, I would be more inclined to have the UI report an invalid number and ask again, because it's unlikely someone would deliberately enter 1375 for 2:15 pm, but if you prefer to roll the values around, yes that is how I would do it.

ok now I am wasy confused!!! I need to go to the mental block ward!! So would I use a while statement...my only problem is is that i don't know how to use it in an error statement message....while (startTime>=60) ....but that would give me every number above 60 as an error..... I still don't get it....I'm so sorry to be such a pain!!! 
Autumn

ONLY the 60...only the 60 and above for minutes.!!!I'm going crazy!!!! 
Autumn

I'd use a do-while, then have it run while the number of minutes > 59. Thus it will keep asking until a valid time is entered.
Autunmsky wrote:

What do you mean by this ? You want to use cerr ?
Autunmsky wrote:

No, strip it into minutes and hours first, then check the minutes. The bit I entered to do that may be confusing, but basically an & ( a bitwise and ) only stores values common to both. Therefore it will only return the portion of the number that is < 100, which is the minutes.
So 1102 & 99 = 2, 34534535023 & 99 = 23, etc.

ok this is what the sheet says.....
use an additional error checking loop to validate the start time. The start time is valid if it is in the range between 0 and 2359, inclusive, and if the last 2 digits of the start time are not greater than 59. Print an error message and continue to ask the user for a valid start time until the user enters a valid one....
Autumn

Well, that's exactly what I've been advocating. The steps are
create the variables and initialise to 0.
start a do...while loop, and ask for the value.
use the bitwise and to strip the value into hours and minutes.
check if the minutes > 59, if so, print an error message
close do..while loop, the while condition is if our minutes > 59 or < 0. Remember this is a scope outside our loop, that's why we created the variables used first.

Hey, I am having a problem with CreateBitmap. I found in some code where this function gets called. It is inside a DLL written in C. It uses a video file created from the waveform of a .wav file. When I have a wav file that is over 42 minutes long (which means it is a BIG file), this function seems to fail for some reason. I call this function with a Width, Height, 1, 1, and basically a pointer to -1 (I know this might seem weird but this is how it has always been). I did GetLastError and returned an 87, meaning "The parameter is incorrect". The parameters never really change except for the width, on .wav files that are over 42 minutes long the width is 33000 and higher. I thought an integer could hold this value, am I wrong? Could it be something else????
