What does this have to do with your problem?

As I understand it you are trying to transfer a bitmap from one computer to another via a network socket. So it is just a matter of transferring the binary data without any changes to its structure, and displaying the bitmap on the target system.

yes exactly this is the thing.
But not getting the exact thing how to do this?

Too many things here. What exactly do you not understand about transferring a stream of bytes from one PC to another through network sockets? You can find plenty of samples via a Google search.

either you need to have a protocol implementation in your Clien-Server communication or you have to make sure that you send all the buffer at one time. If you are choosing a protocol means you first send a message to the server that am going to send a image buffer with size/length X and at the server store this and use this value for the next receive command.

If you are going to use whole buffer at one time, just use that buffer as such to create re-create your image. having a protocol is the best choice. if you google you can find many protocols choose the simplest one that suits your requirement.

Hello everybody i have a small question , not big enough for the quick answers Smile | :)

. I am working on a MFC project a little bit old. And i had to add a header to the print result. My problem was with the font Size. After some tries i found the really useful Article about Printing trics. The problem was when i used

C++

PrinterFont.lfHeight = -MulDiv(12, dc->GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY), 72);

Printing was ok but the PrintPreview wasnt. The font size was still small and i know why the GetDeviceCaps was returning the dpi of the monitor. This was understandable . After some digging in the code i found that for the rest printed text the font size was calculated a little bit different. For the font Height was taken the absolute value of the height multiplied by the zoom and all divided by some constant. My question is is there some practice about that kind of calculation . To be honest i don't think its a good idea to use it. I don't believe that all printers will print the same thing. But the PrintPreview and the Print result are pretty much the same.
What do you think ?
Thank you Smile | :)

Normally for printing the mapping mode is set to MM_TWIPS . Is that the practice you are looking for?

I created a MFC Smart Device App with Visual C++ in Visual Std 2008. I have dialog forms, I created SQLite database in VS2008. And I imported sqlite.dll sqlite.def etc. files. Now, I want to select data from my database, show in my textlist for example. But I don't know How can I do this.

What is my sqlconnection sentence? How can I create test.db? Which class will I write my sqlconnection sentence, or my select, insert, delete, update sql code? Can anybody explain this step by step?

It is my Job. I research this topic since a week, but still I can not solve this problem. Please help me!

31-Jan-13 2:12

We have developed a COM DLL 64 bit on Windows Server 2008 R2 - 64 bit and this dll is successfully register when visual studio 2010 is installed on the machine but when on a fresh machine its unable to register with following error:

SQL

module xxxx.dll failed to load
  make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for prob with the binary or dependent dll files

After a lot of investigation, we found that if Microsoft C++ runtime 2010 10.0.3019 is installed, then only dll will be registered. Can anyone provide the required list of dependecy. Thanks in advance.

You can use the Dependency Walker tool to check the dependencies of your DLL - http://www.dependencywalker.com/[^]
For the VC++ runtime, you can download it and package it along with your binaries - http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=14632[^]

and I'm getting an error. when client is sending the image then it is completely sent from client side but I can't see it on server side.

Help me Please.

If you must post code then please use the code button above, to put <pre> tags around it.
If you are receiving an error then show the exact text or status code, and show the point in your program where it occurs.

Respected Sir,

As I'm new to VC++ and forum so I was having no idea of this thing.
Well the Problem is- On TCP server I want to receive the images and show it on server window, without saving it.

I did tried with this one...

case WM_SOCKET:

			int i=256;
			BYTE* data = new BYTE[256*256*256];
  int packetsize, num;
  int newWidth, newHeight;
  int recvimgsize=0;

   bool bAwaitingImage = false;
			switch(WSAGETSELECTEVENT(lParam))
			{
				case FD_READ:
				{
	
					  num=recv(Socket, (char*)data, 3, 0);
				
				if(num>0)
      {

		 
        packetsize = data[1]*256+ data[2];

        num=recv(Socket, (char*)(data+3), packetsize-3, 0);
     
				}
				 if(num>0)
				 {
				 switch(data[0])
				 {
				  case 2: //received information about window size (image size)

					 
            newWidth = data[3]*256+data[4];
            newHeight = data[5]*256+data[6];
					   		 
				 
			if(newHeight!=cBitmap.bmHeight || newWidth!=cBitmap.bmWidth)
            {
				cBitmap.bmWidth = newWidth;
				cBitmap.bmHeight = newHeight;

              RECT r;

			   GetWindowRect(hWnd, &r);
			   SetWindowPos(hWnd, NULL, r.left, r.top, cBitmap.bmWidth, cBitmap.bmHeight, 0);


			   HDC ThisDC = GetDC(hWnd);

              DeleteDC(RemoteDC);
              RemoteDC = CreateCompatibleDC(ThisDC);

              DeleteObject(hbitmap);
			  hbitmap = CreateCompatibleBitmap(ThisDC,cBitmap.bmWidth ,cBitmap.bmHeight);

              SelectObject(RemoteDC, hbitmap);

              ReleaseDC(hWnd, ThisDC);

				 }
				 break;
				 

				  case 3:
          {
            BITMAPINFO bi;
           
            int biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFO);
            memcpy(&bi, data+3, biSize);
			SetDIBits(RemoteDC, hbitmap, 0,cBitmap.bmHeight, data+biSize+3, &bi, DIB_RGB_COLORS);

            InvalidateRect(hWnd, NULL, false);

            break;
          }

its a long code ,,,
but i got stuck on when client sends image then it is completely sent but from server side program hangs and stopped working and nothing on server.

I'll be highly thankful if you can help me in this!!
Thanks

Sorry, but there is no way I can guess what may be happening. You need to get with your debugger at both ends and trace where it is getting stuck.

Sachin k Rajput 30-Jan-13 22:59

30-Jan-13 22:59

The Problem it is showing in debugger and as I analyzed is that server is unable to
store the data in a buffer.

The buffer is showing problem.

Thanks!
