DirectShow which is a part of DirectX might be what you're after. It offers the ability to write 'transform filters' to operate on a media sample, which might be video / audio or something else. The learning overhead for DirectShow is quite high (in my opinion, but I'm only a university student  ).
It helps if you already have a good grasp of COM, and are prepared to sift through a fair bit of documentation, a muddle of macros (at times) and the sample applications which come with the DirectX API, available from Microsoft. The sample apps are probably the only viable place to start, you might find that you don't need to change too much code to get you running quite quickly. The samples are installed to C:\DXSDK\Samples\C++\DirectShow on my machine after a default install.
DirectShow includes GraphEdit a tool for combining transform filters into 'filter graphs' (source -> filter -> renderer pipelines). If you want to get going fast, copy and paste (changing the GUID's of course) from one of the sample filters, modifying the transform method and look at the output in GraphEdit. You can get the dialogs end of the application running (to a certain extent) by using property sheets. I found one of the best sources on how to set up custom property sheets that can be called from GraphEdit was in the OpenCV (Open Computer Vision) library (available on Source Forge) which contains a 'CamShift' DirectShow image processing filter, amongst heaps of other cool stuff.
Getting up and running in your own application can be a bit more challenging, one place to start is with the SampleGrabber filter and/or the playcap capture sample. The benefit of going this way allows you all the flexibility of choosing your windowing library (WTL, MFC or raw Win32) for all the really complex GUI stuff.

Hello all
I would like to retrieve LOCAL AREA NETWORK's ipaddress range(starting to ending address) programmatically. Is there any way to do it. Currently I'm using vc++(MFC) to code my application. if you know how to do it, please help me.
Many thanks for your help.
Hari.

take ip address of your machine, mask it with the subnet mask and you'll have the address of the subnet, then you can set all masked-out bits to 1 and you'll get the broadcast address for the subnet. Everything between is addresses that can be used inside the same subnet where the computer is located.
But this works only for one subnet, I don't know any universal method to get all addresses in the LAN if it consists of several subnets (except obvious 'contact your administrator')
Simplistic example:
IP addr: 192.168.0.1
MASK: 255.255.255.0
subnet addr: 192.168.0.0
broadcast.: 192.168.0.255
addr. 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254 are available for use in this net segment

I just created an MFC class that will be useful for most of my applications. There are two files: Passport.cpp and Passport.h. Where can I place these files so that they an be automatically loaded by different ptojects.
The main problem is with the CPP source file. I have a folder for my H header files. I guess there should be a folder for the CPP source file too. While I can include the header file in the project, how is the associated CPP file loaded automatically?

Hi
Add the cpp-file (or both h and cpp) to your project.
Regards
Frank

If you plan not to change the cpp file then you can compile it and create a lib file out of it. After that, if you have a location where you place your header files, you need to include it in the options by doing the following:
1. Click on Tools->Options
2. Click on the tab Directories
3. Where it says "Show directories for:" select Include files.
4. Click on the first button (it has a square) that is next to the field Directories: (or just double click on the field).
5. Add the headers' file location.
The same thing can be done for the lib files. You also have to add the lib file in the linker's options.

I've programed a Hello world Dialog based app using MFC.I just a button and add MessageBox("Hello!") code,and I use Rational Purify to find the memory leaks,I always find a lot.
Why?
Thank you!
Let's roll!
|
|
|
|
|
Not every leak Purify/BC detects is the true leak.
Some like: "NoTrack" ( or "NoMemoryTrack"!? ) and SetEnv, delayLoad has to do with MFC structure, others leaks inside CryptoApis, etc has to do with crappy MS coding.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to what Brian said, some leaks are due to improper termination. Many termination leaks are due to how the leak detecting program monitors the DLL. In some cases, they do not, or cannot, check memory in the proper spot. Regardless, these are of no real concern.
I haven't used Purify, but they should have a filter file for each compiler and library used. Be aware that on a few occasions these programs will do a false detection. I have perfectly legitimate code that totally "stumps" BoundsChecker as well as other programs.
The leaks to be concerned about are those that happen while the program is running.

Any clues on how to trap the standard Window | Close All command? I need to close a number of modeless dialogs before continuing with the standard operation, which closes all open views.
I suppose I could just define my own IDC_WINDOW_CLOSE_ALL command, but it seems like it's a pain to inject this menu item into the standard Windows popup.
Thanks,

Well in ED I change the ID and do my own thing, but CWinApp::CloseAllDocuments(), CDocTemplate::CloseAllDocuments() might be of help.

Hi Neville,
Yes, that's my fallback solution. Do you know how to insert a custom menu item into the standard Windows popup (i.e. the one that contains an MFC generated list of view names)?
Thanks,

Hi Ravi,
Have a look at CMDIFrameWnd::GetWindowMenuPopup(HMENU hMenuBar).
Assuming you are using a Menu Resource why can't you just change it there.

Yikes, I must be getting senile! Just looked at my code and found I already have a handler for a custom ID_WINDOW_CLOSE_ALL menu item in all my view classes. I copied the handler (and the menu) to the mainframe. and added the code to close all open modeless dialogs, so all is well.
Thanks for your help!

I compiled reseditor using csc.exe. No problem. I even saved a test resource file with ".resources" extension successfully. It broke down unfortunately however when I tried to saved it as ".resx" format. Is there any place where I can download resource editor binary? I searched tucows, download.com, morpehus, microsoft msdn and google, no luck yet.
anyway, here's the problem, in case you wish to know:

Hi, all 
I have created a RichEdit box (version 1.0) using regular windows API (no MFC) but I can’t seem to format (using the SendMessage() function) any part of the text in the control. I have tested both formatting the paragraphs (PARAMFORMAT structure) and characters (CHARFORMAT structure) but nothing seems to get displayed. The return values (from both EM_SETPARAFORMAT and EM_SETCHARFORMAT flags) are nonzero, which indicates success. I know that I am setting the cbSize and the dwMask structure members correctly because after setting the format, I use EM_GETPARAFORMAT and EM_GETCHARFORMAT flags to check if the changes was actually made, and it is (but just not displayed). This experience is really strange, I really don’t know what I am doing wrong or missing. And I can’t seem to find any examples on formatting text in a Rich Edit without using MFC. Any ideas on how to solve this or find any examples are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

hehe... I found the problem, when I declared the PARAMFORMAT and the CHARMFORMAT structures I forgot setting them to zero, which caused the variable members (who wasn’t later set to any specific value) to have unpredictable values. Anyways it was a clumsy mistake

new to win32 api programming and am using the free borland tools.
i want to ensure i have the latest headers/libraries that will allow me to target 2k & xp but not clear on how to use msft's platform sdk update and borland to ensure they play well together.
advise from anyone who's gone down this road before?

Hi everyone !
Well, I have heard that the MFC runtime used a hook to dynamically link a
component to its window procedure. I know that it's the best way to do it,
but Microsoft itself advises the developers to use hooks in their
applications only for debugging purposes, because it dramatically slows
the programs down... What about MFC programs, are they much slower than
their raw API equivalents ?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
