please help

i get this message when i try to build the application. please note that it was converted to visual studio 2010

error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\SRC\WINMAIN.CPP': No such file or directory C:\Users\Yotam Wimmer\Desktop\Scope files\Copy of ver8hSearchWholeWord\c1xx

i am not sure what the winmain.cpp is but i have found it on my system at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\atlmfc\src\mfc"
how can i tell visual studio to look in that path instead of the other one. or is there another solution?

thanks,
yotam

You should be able to change the path to the file by either opening the .vcproj file in notepad and changing it or by clicking the file in the Solution Explorer and changing the RelativePath property in the Properties window (That's the dock-able properties window, not the one you get from right-clicking)

Below are run NOTEPAD. 01001EDC place, in EXE OllyDbg interrupt results:

<br />
01001ED6 |. 8B3D 48120001 MOV EDI,DWORD PTR DS:[<&USER32.CheckMenu>; |USER32.CheckMenuItem<br />
01001EDC |. 50 PUSH EAX ; |hMenu<br />
01001EDD |. FFD7 CALL EDI ; \CheckMenuItem<br />

u can OllyDbg through the upper check into another process EAX value.
How do I use vc + + to write a program that can read the value 01001EDC EAX place? Frown | :(

I beleive you have to get a handle to the process (in this case, Notepad), and then use an API function called ReadProcessMemory

If you do a search on ReadProcessMemory you should find some examples, there were some around a while back - its not 'easy' though ..

GDI: Create 8bit grayscale bitmap from raw pixel intensity data problem

vkinra2-Jun-10 10:49

Hi,

I am reading some image data out of a camera pixels and have extracted the raw pixel intensity. Each "pixel" on the Camera sensor has either a R,G, or B filter that gives the intensity of the 'R', 'G', or 'B' 'pixel'. I read this data and then extract and store the individual R, G, or B pixel intensities into 3 separate 2d unsigned char arrays called m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray. m_ptrGreen2DPostDecimationArray, and m_ptrBlue2DPostDecimationArray. Now I can use SetPixel to display the extracted R, G, and B in 3 separate 'R', 'G', or 'B' window areas. I can display them either in color or grayscale through:
For grayscale: dc.SetPixel(j, i, RGB(theApp.m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray[i][j], theApp.m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray[i][j], theApp.m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray[i][j]));
For color: dc.SetPixel(j, i, RGB(theApp.m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray[i][j], 0, 0));

However, I realize SetPixel is very ineffecient so looking at other ways to display. I only need the 8 bit grayscale image so was hoping that I could achieve it using CreateBitmap. m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray is a BYTE array (actually unsigned char) that holds the 8 bit raw pixel intensities from the camera pixels that have a red filter on them. Here is my current code (that does not work):
void CVC_ExampleDlg::OnPaint()
{
CDC *pDC = GetDC();

BOOL retval = m_redBitmap.CreateBitmap(600, 200, 1, 8, theApp.m_ptrRed2DPostDecimationArray);

CDC memDC;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
memDC.SelectObject(&m_redBitmap);
retVal = pDC->BitBlt(0, 0, 600, 200, &memDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
memDC.DeleteDC();
ReleaseDC(pDC);
CDialog::OnPaint();
}

Now I know I can create a grayscale palette and use the raw data as an index to that palette but it seems to me that CreateBitmap has that built in functionality. I mean it seems like that when I give it 1 color plane and 8bpp, it should automatically create a grayscale 8bit bitmap, no?

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong. I mean all I want is that I already have the pixel intensity from 0-255 (8 bit) in a byte array. Since I just only want a grayscale bitmap, creating a grayscale palette and indexing it seems overkill especially when CreateBitmap seems to (theoretically) encapsulate that functionality.

I guess, if my question is clear enough, what is the easiet and/or most efficiect way to create a 8bit grayscale image from the raw pixel intensity value from 0-255?

Thank you,

You should be looking at creating a DIB using CreatDIBSection() and SetDIBits().

Thanks Jon..but really, why is it that CreateBitmap doesn't work? I mean based on its documentation it should right?

I'm trying to do this the simple way and I suspect that there is built in functionality to take raw pixel intensity data and create a 8bit grayscale bitmap without explicitly creating a grayscale palette and using the raw pixel data as indices to that palette right?

I mean it seems fairly basic to simply take intensity data that is from 0-255 and drawing that as a grayscale bitmap.

It has been a long time, but the problem could be as simple as word alignment. The length of each scan line must be divisible by 4. That is, each line must be padded with zeros if it is not already word aligned.

Example: (assuming single-byte per pixel)

// This will not work
wrong_data[2][1] = {
 {0x00}, // line 0 (single pixel)
 {0xFF}  // line 1 (single pixel)
};
// This should work (same as above with padding)
correct_data[2][4] = {
 {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},
 {0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}
};

I have not tested the above, but it looks right.

Short Circuit Evaluation

I always thought I had a good grip on short circuit evaluation for Logical AND and Logical OR but I'm mixing the two and the results are not intuitive. The specification does not suggest the behavior I'm seeing with VC++ 2003 so I thought I'd post the test and results and see if anyone can tell me why "Eval3" never gets evaluated.

void Test()
{
if (Eval1() || Eval2() && Eval3()) {
TRACE("Result = TRUE\n");

} else {
TRACE("Result = FALSE\n");
}
}

BOOL Eval1(void)
{
TRACE("Eval1\n");
return TRUE;
}

BOOL Eval2(void)
{
TRACE("Eval2\n");
return TRUE;
}

BOOL Eval3(void)
{
TRACE("Eval3\n");
return FALSE;
}

Output:

Eval1
Result = TRUE

rather than worrying about short circuiting, you should pay attention first to precedence.

a || b && c

isn't

(a || b) && c

it is equivalent to

a || (b && c)

When a is true, no need to evaluate b nor c.

The and/or precedence rule is simple, it is very similar to the one for 1 + 2 * 3

For some reason I had thought && and || were at the same precedence level and evaluated left to right but what your saying makes sense now that you helped me focus.

Forget doubt, always use parentheses. Just make it bonehead simple and you never get what you don't expect. And you don't confuse people who are precedence challenged. Smile | :)

You can use GetProcessMemoryInfo[^] function.
This[^] is MSDN example for the usage of the function.

If you want to find the memory usage of your application only then you can pass GetCurrentProcess[^] as the process handle in order to get the information. Smile | :)

What I am trying to get at is find (private working set) like it shows on Task Manger per process. GetProcessmemoryInfo gets me workingsetsize which isn't the private. Do you know how I can calculate the private number?
