How to read and write CD-ROM

21-Jun-03 2:02

It loads a bitmap from a resource. If you look at the MFC source code, you'll find that the one that takes a UINT actually calls the one that takes a LPCTSTR to do the work.

All resources are loaded via strings. The UINTs have to be coerced into looking like strings so that Windows can load them.

hello,
You know if it is posible to know where are stored in memory the pixels of a
web page ? and if yes how ?
thx in advance

yes sorry Frown | :(

In fact i'm working with CHtmlView, and i want to know if it is possible to get all pixels state of web page from memory (RAM), i don't want to use GetPixel or....
I hope you understand

PS : excuse for bad english Cry | :((

I assume you are trying to dynamically change the HTMLView window (the Internet Explorer activeX object you drop onto a dialog in Visual Studio's editor), am I right?

Look at how you set the pixels (width and height) and maybe attach a global variable to it, and getting the address of the variable and use it that way...

I don't really know, usually I stick to variables and don't bother getting it from RAM in the way I think you want.

You probably can't. I assume the HTML view simply stores the HTML data which it renders as it needs to. It wouldn't store the individual pixel states.

If you want to get an "image" in a device context, you can try getting the HTML view to print itself. Send it a WM_PRINTCLIENT message with the wParam holding the handle of the device context to print into. Using MFC:

CWnd *pWndHTML; // A pointer to the HTML view window
CDC dc; // A device context to draw into
// Get the correct window handle and setup the device context here
pwndHTML->SendMessage(WM_PRINTCLIENT, (WPARAM)dc.GetSafeHdc(), PRF_ERASEBKGND | PRF_CLIENT);
// The device context should hold a copy of the contents of the view

Keep in mind that this will only get the visible part of the view, not the whole document (unless it fits completely in the window).

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Thx for you answer !
I thought to this solution but i can't get all pixel state od the page only those there are display. So for me it is a problem

Ryan Binns23-Jun-03 2:16

What do you need to get the pixel state for? There may be another way to solve your problem (without getting the pixel state).

Resource DLL

Hi,

I am trying to make a dll for the images in my project. In the dll's project I add the resources (bitmaps) and I have functions to return HICONs, HBITMAPs, etc.
But I can't create any image resources in my dll.

In my resource.h I have

#define IDB_02 5001

but when I do

CBitmap dd;
BOOL ret = dd.LoadBitmap(IDB_02));

"ret" is false. Do I have to include something else in a dll to make it work with images?

Thanks

Before you call this, call AfxSetResourceHandle() to set the location of the resource, remembering to save the old one using AfxGetResourceHandle()

HINSTANCE hOldRes = AfxGetResourceHandle();
AfxSetResourceHandle(hinstDLL); // hinstDLL is the instance handle of your DLL
CBitmap dd;
BOOL ret = dd.LoadBitmap(IDB_02);
AfxSetResourceHandle(hOldRes);

Hope this helps,

Ryan

Format

I performed format function by calling the following function in shell32.dll:
(* dl_SHFormatDrive)(hWnd,cDrive-'A',SHFMT_ID_DEFAULT, bQuickFormat?:SHFMT_OPT_FULL);

My project can pop up a format dialog to format the floppy disk.
Now I want to hide the format dialog and let my floppy disk be formated automatically, in addition, I want to know the real-time value of ProgressBar's position. How can I handle this problem?

Please help me!
Thank you!

Have a look at the book "Visual C++ Windows Shell Programming" by Dino Esposito (Wrox Press). It's probably out of print but you should be able to get it still. Chapter 10 covers exactly this.

You can't legally download the book - it's copyrighted.

You can download the code examples that go with the book from http://www.wrox.com/dynamic/books/download.aspx[^]. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the book title.

Rebuild VC++ Debug Library ?

Hi all,

I have a problem with an acknowledged MSDN Bug - being... using sockets in a multithread program. SP5 supposedly fixed the bug (?) but I still get asserts when using either version of the VC++ Debug libraries.

Is there new Debug libraries available or can I just modify the sockcore.cpp file and rebuild it ?

cheers

You can rebuild the MFC source files (there is info in MSDN on how to do this properly), but it might be easier to try to work around the bug. Did the KB article give information on how to work around the bug?

Just a tip. If you do rebuild the source files, don't put the new version in your Windows/System folder - other programs may break because of the fix. The same goes for the Release version if you rebuild that as well. If you have to distribute a modified version of the MFC library, store it in the same folder as your program.

Thanks Ryan,

I have done heap of hunting on this problem which basically boiled down to creating a Socket in one thread and then trying to use it in another thread.

MFC does not allow sockets to be passed between threads or so it appears. I don't know if this is a bug as suggested by their bug fix "Q193101"

"SYMPTOMS
When using MFC sockets in secondary threads in a statically linked MFC Visual C++ 6.0 application, an unhandled exception occurs.

CAUSE
The reason for the unhandled exception is that an object of type CMapPtrToPtr pointer, pointed to by m_pmapSocketHandle, is never created."

I will keep trying.

cheers

No other MFC object that relies on a Windows HANDLE can be passed between threads, so I assume sockets are the same, ie. I believe this is the correct behaviour, not a bug.

The KB article only shows how to prevent the unhandled exception error that occurs. It doesn't say that sockets can be used in multiple threads. I'm certain that a MFC socket can only be used in one thread.

Did you try their solution to prevent the error?

Hi Ryan,

Yes I tried their fix .. no luck. My code works as required in Release but Asserts when in Debug mode.

As to MFC Sockets and multithreading the jury is undecided. This article has a section near the bottom called "CSocket Objects and Multithreading".
