Ive been working on a program that creates a window and adds a ReBar with two bands, each one for a different Toolbar.
Im using the following code:
INT SetNewBand(HWND hwndOwner, HWND hwndRB, HWND hTool, RECT *rRC)
{
RECT rc ;
RECT hToolRC ;
RECT hwndRBrc ;
REBARBANDINFO rbBand ;
BOOL FirstToolbar = FALSE ;
RECT hToolRC_new ;
/* Fill rbBand structure */
rbBand.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO) ;
rbBand.fMask = RBBIM_STYLE | RBBIM_CHILD | RBBIM_CHILDSIZE |
RBBIM_SIZE;
rbBand.fStyle = RBBS_CHILDEDGE | RBBS_USECHEVRON |
RBBS_VARIABLEHEIGHT | RBBS_GRIPPERALWAYS |
RBBS_BREAK ;
GetWindowRect(hwndRB, &hwndRBrc) ;
/* This is the first toolbar */
if (hwndRBrc.top == hwndRBrc.bottom)
FirstToolbar = TRUE ;
GetWindowRect((HWND) hTool, &hToolRC) ;
rbBand.hwndChild = hTool ;
rbBand.cxMinChild = 0 ;
rbBand.cyMinChild = hToolRC.bottom - hToolRC.top ;
rbBand.cx = 200 ;
if (!SendMessage(hwndRB, RB_INSERTBAND, (WPARAM) -1, (LPARAM) &rbBand))
{
dbgprint(("RB_INSERTBAND failed.\n")) ;
return -1 ;
}
// If this is the first toolbar, we dont need to
// fix any sizes.
if (FirstToolbar == TRUE)
{
GetWindowRect((HWND) hTool, &hToolRC) ;
// Leave a space between the gripper and the first button
SetWindowPos(hTool, NULL, 10, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE);
GetWindowRect(hwndRB, &hwndRBrc) ;
memcpy(rRC, &hwndRBrc, sizeof(RECT)) ;
return 0 ;
}
// The Tool Bar will be at the bottom of the rest of
// the present windows.
GetWindowRect((HWND) hTool, &hToolRC) ;
if (SetWindowPos(hTool, NULL, 0, hwndRBrc.bottom-hwndRBrc.top, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE) == 0)
return -1 ;
GetWindowRect((HWND) hTool, &hToolRC) ;
// The rectangle will include the new Tool Bar.
GetWindowRect((HWND) hwndRB, &hwndRBrc) ;
rc.left = hwndRBrc.left ;
rc.right = hwndRBrc.right ;
rc.top = hwndRBrc.top ;
rc.bottom = hwndRBrc.bottom + rbBand.cyMinChild ;
SendMessage(hwndRB, RB_SIZETORECT, 0, (LPARAM) (LPRECT) &rc) ;
GetWindowRect(hwndRB, &hwndRBrc) ;
GetWindowRect(hTool, &hToolRC_new) ;
SetWindowPos(hTool, NULL, 10, hToolRC.top - hToolRC_new.top,
0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE) ;
return 0 ;
}
If the toolbar is the first, then i add it without doing a RB_SIZETORECT because it is not needed. Else i do so.
What i saw when working with this is
1) If i send RB_SIZETORECT, the second toolbar changes it position and returns to the values before the SetWindowPos.
2) If i do a SetWindowPos after resizing the rectangle of the ReBar window for the second toolbar, then i see it in a right position.
My questions are:
1) If i want to add n toolbars, i will have to set the sizes for each window ? Is there any message or function in Windows API that arranges all of them automatically ?
2) When i modify manually (with the grip) the position of a Toolbar, the buttons dissapear. I have to handle the messages for the ReBar and Toolbar to set the positions of the bands/toolbars every time the users changes it ?
3) If i have to implement the chevron, i will have to handle all the chevron MSGS and also do the TrackPopupMenu with all my buttons ?
Thank you very much for reading this message.
Bye,
Fernando.

Ok, so I want to be able to select a section of text and modify its properties. Well, the CFontDialog class only offers BOOLs for most of the options (underscore, bold, italic, etc. are either TRUE or FALSE). That doesn't allow me to have a third value to set the dialog to if, say, two different parts of the selected text had different properties. The idea would be to check all properties, and set the ones that differ to some third value. Then, on '...DoModal() == OnOK;' Check the values again to see whether they'd been changed to either TRUE or FALSE, and change the entire selection to that. If it's still the third value, then do not change the selection and leave each character just as it was for that property.
So, there's the problem: There's no third state which means to keep the differences intact. And since they're BOOLs, I can't even set the underlying value to some third state to compare with the value after the user's done.
My attempts: So, I tried to do a callback function to somehow try and figure out when the user has made a selection in the font dialog, then I can hopefully ONLY use the selected value(s) to modify the text, NOT the other properties that were not specified. This is still annoying, since it wouldn't show the user an acceptable third (greyed out, but still selectable, like in Word) state, but at least the functionality could be accomplished.
Result: Assertion errors on my attempts at the callback function. I can't seem to make them work.
So, help on the callbacks, or suggestions on showing the user this third state would be greatly appreciated. I'm not good enough to make my own font dialog, I don't think.

I have an image routine that uses bi-linear interpolation to smoothly scale a bitmap from one size to another. Works fine...just to see if I could still do it, I decided to code the same algorithm in inline assembler to determine if I could speed it up. (yeah, I'm a geek)
It did speed it up, but not as much as expected...it was only 15-29% faster, depending on bitmap size, in assembler. (determined using GetTickCount)
Now the question. Is this performance gain what I should expect or is it more likely the curse of a slow algorithm? I know it is hard to answer fully without seeing code...but in general.
Does anyone know where I can get super fast image scaler source code? I would sacrifice some quality for speed.

Doesn't surprise me. I did the same thing with a similar algorithm several years ago and saw less of a gain. My biggest gain was by using GDI+ instead.

It is a question that can't be answered. The problem is that you can get a 15-20% speed increase with assembler on either a good or bad algorithm.
Post the algorithm.

Joe gave me the kind of answer I was looking for. I wasn't looking for help to optimize my code...just feedback from people who have done similar things. Thanks for your reply.

I would assume that this is a memory-intensive process in that you need to have the 'source' and 'destination' bitmaps present at the same time. My guess is you need to work the algorithm such that you're not thrashing the CPU cache each time you access the bitmaps.
In our application (ink jet printers), where we generate massive bitmaps, we've found proper cache usage to be critical. The performance difference between a cache hit per pixel and a cache hit per scan line can be an order of magnitude or better.

yes...it does this pixel by pixel. it finds 4 source pixels for every destination pixel (based on the scale transformation) so it can interpolate four colors (RGBA) to come up with the destination pixel. it interpolates in each direction x, y. this requires that I find adjacent pixels on two rows and two columns that bound the calculated source pixel location.
I suspose that if I did linear interpolation, instead of bi-linear, and just dealt with a row at a time it would be faster...just don't know how it would look.
I don't know if this makes sense...it's not that complicated, just hard to explain. If you have a better approach I would like to see it.

It's not so much the fact that you've got the entire bitmaps in memory at one time, it's how you access it. If you can access it in a fashion that avoids cache misses, which force expensive cache flushes and refills, that improves performance. Typically, you want to access memory through consecutive addresses, 'skipping about' as little as possible.
For your example, let's assume that each pixel in a row occupies consecutive memory addresses. In that case, you want to work within a row as much as possible, and change rows only when you have to. If you went column by column instead, you would have cache misses on almost every pixel reference, which would hamper performance.
(brief pause while I Google bilinear interpolation)
Assuming I understand what bilinear interpolation does, if you keep pointers to a preceding row, current row, and a next row, and increment them down the row, this avoids the cache misses that would occur if you went column by column.
I'm not sure if this helps. Good luck.

Hello
I have a RichEdit and a multiline edit in my app. What is the simplest and easiest way to change word-wrap of the edit controls during run-time of app?
Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know whether you're still out there, but if you are: look up EditWordBreakProc in MSDN. You can define a callback which sets up a different word wrap routine for an edit. I might be posting an article on this since I think there's a bug with the word wrap in XP-themed edits.

I am just learning how to use C++. I'm trying to create a simple program to do the following: A) allow the user to enter 2 integer values, B) determine the sum of all values between x & y, C) to show the product of x and y.
My code for steps A & C is working. My code for step B is not, I think I'm making it much more complicated then is required. Here is the sample code:
/* Write a program to find the sum of the integers between x & y. You
are then
to find the product*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int x, y, z, s, p, h, sum;
s = 0;
sum = 0;
cout << "Please enter two integers" << endl;
cin >> x >> y;
p = x; //p is a place holder for the value x
z = x*y; // calculate the product
while (s <= y)
{
s = ++ x; // increment x by 1
h = p+s; // calucate the value of p + h
sum +=h; // compile the sum
cout <<"p = " << p << ". s = " << s << ". h = "<< h << endl;
}
cout <<"The product of " << p << " * " << y << " is "<< z << endl;
return 0;
}

There's a story that Gauss was asked along with his class to sum the numbers from 1 to 100. He blurted out 5050, explaining that there were 50 pairs of numbers that added to 101 (1 + 100, 99 + 2, etc).
Not so easy if the number of integers is not even, but should help.
If I've just given away the answer I'm sorry - but hey, you can still get fancy with the details!

The rule works for even and odd values of x.

For values greater than 0, the sum of all integers between 1 and n can be computed as n(n+1)/2.
Now for your specific problem, we want to compute the sum of all integers between x and y. This can also be expressed as the sum of all integers between 1 and y minus the sum of all integers between 1 and (x-1). So the final answer would be...
result = y(y+1)/2 - (x-1)x/2

Finding the sum of the numbers between two integers can be done as follows:
int i = x + 1; // we start counting 1 higher then x
// or make this i = x if you want to include x
int sum = 0;
while (i < y) { // repeat while we haven't reached y
// or make this i<=y if you want to include y
sum = sum + i;
i++;
}
voila.
or shorter:
int sum = 0;
for (int i=x+1;i

I have the following class:
class BaseClass {<br />
static char* wp;<br />
<br />
void Dynamic(char* s) {<br />
this->wp = s;<br />
}<br />
}
and a derivative:
class Derived : public BaseClass {<br />
}
Basically, what I want to accomplish is this: I want to reference the static member wp of the derived class in the inhereted function and reference the BaseClass member in the Baseclass function
so..
BaseClass *bc = new BaseClass();<br />
Derived *d = new Derived();<br />
<br />
bc->Dynamic("something");<br />
d->Dynamic("something else");
After this code, I want bc::wp != d::wp, but alas, bc::wp == d::wp == "something else". I would LIKE to have bc::wp == "something" and d::wp == "something else".
Anybody have any clues as to how I might realise this? And yes I do realise I could make them non-static, but I am interested in a way of doing this... if at all possible.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want the derived class to have its own, separate copy of the static member,
you have to declare it in the derived class. Then, you also have to implement Dynamic() in the derived class so it refers to the derived class' static member and not the base class' static member.

Can I create a CWnd* class from an DLL that is loaded at runtime and the use it.
Like this.
I have a tabview in my program that takes CWnd* objects.
And say that the user select something and then a DLL is lunched ( a plugin )
And all Plugin DLLs have a function call CreateObject(). It calls it and returns a CWnd* object.
The main program don’t know anything about the object except that it’s a CWnd* object
Now.
Can I just take this object and threat it as any other object ?
What restriction are they?
Do I need to do some special stuff to make it work?
What I understand is that I need to let the DLL also take care of
the deleting of the object, since it create it. Is that correct ?

I have a object that I created that is derived from CWnd. In my SDI
application with a CFormView, I have created the object. (Draws a box on the
form) Now I would like the object to handle the left mouse down event. I
added the left mouse button down event to my object. But how do I ??? so
that my object receives the left mouse down event when a user clicks on the
object? (box)
Thanks

MFC sure can be confusing.........
When would you use OnPaint() instead of OnDraw() for drawing in an MFC application?
Should on be used in a dialog and the other used in a doc/view app?
