I have developed dialog based application to capture data from a device on RS232 & display those data in VC++ 6.0 frontend. Now i need to print this data in defined format on the printer. May be i need to select the printer & then print the report.This methode would be better as the printer to be used is not finalized yet with this application. I am new to VC++, I am not sure which method would be better to use in VC++.

Could you guide how to proceed about his requirement.

If you're using MFC then you may take advantage of this class [^], also have a look at its inspiring article [^].

Is this related to your previous question?
Anyway have a look at this page [^]. Be warned, multithreading is a rather complex topic.

I could print the data displayed on the frontend...& customized the printout. But when the print command is clicked, it displays as below:

Set Font Arial Size = 8
My name is George Papaioannou _________________________________________________________________

Set Font Arial Size = 9
My name is George Papaioannou
....
and so on...

I want to print the data without line feed. that means printout as below.

Set Font Arial Size = 8 My name is George Papaioannou _________________________________________________________________

Set Font Arial Size = 9 My name is George Papaioannou

i don't know where line feed is given in the print?

snippet:
prt.Print(hFont,"Set Font Arial Size = 8",FORMAT_NORMAL);
prt.Print(hFont,"My name is George Papaioannou",FORMAT_NORMAL);
prt.Line (PS_SOLID);

prt.Print(hFont1,"Set Font Arial Size = 9",FORMAT_NORMAL);
prt.Print(hFont1,"My name is George Papaioannou",FORMAT_NORMAL);
prt.Line (PS_SOLID);

I would need to print the data on the same line as actually i want to print text & variable defined in the frontend.

If its only a text there is no problem But i want to print text & variable together which i am not able to print on the same line.

Pl help.....

If you made sure that you always used TCHAR instead of char then things should not be too difficult. Otherwise, well, you have to replace everything by TCHAR strings. Anyway, this article[^] is very good to get started.

How to display an image on the dialog from a Byte array?

Hai!

I have image data present in an Byte array, the image can be a bitmap, jpg or jp2 image. Now how to paint this byte array on my dialog box as an image?

Thanks!

First you have to construct the image from the byte array. You can use CxImage[^].

Try the method:

bool CxImage::Decode(BYTE * buffer, DWORD size, DWORD imagetype)

You can see the demo application from the link. I think that it will help you.

Keybaord hooking

Hi,
i am using the function SetWindowsHookEx() to set the keyboard hook. The code snippet is as follows

if(myHook == NULL)
   myHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD,(HOOKPROC)myFunction, AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance, NULL);

LRESULT myFunction( int ncode, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
	if((wparam == VK_F10))
	{
	   DoSomething();
	}
	return ( CallNextHookEx(myHook,ncode,wparam,lparam) );
}

The problem is that the function myFunction() is getting called two times.
Can someone tell me how can i avoid this.

Thanks

This is normal behavior. When you press a key on your keyboard it generates a keypress and release and if you hold the key down it generates repeat keys. You should probably have a look at how the the KeyboardProc [^]hook procedure is implemented. And if you read About Keyboard Input[^] you will find that you can check the transition state of the key with something like:

if (HIWORD(lparam) & KF_UP)
{
//The key was released.
}

Best Wishes,

Here[^] you will find some ways on how to do it. For others you may search the web in a similar manner

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

How can the callback function streamout be called back about richeditor' StreamOut function.

Hi,All

I want to convert rft format data to txt data with CRichEditCtrl. the code liks belows:

///
void CRichEditorDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
EDITSTREAM es;
es.dwCookie = 1;
es.dwError = 0;
es.pfnCallback = StreamIn;
m_editor.StreamIn(SF_RTF, es);

es.dwCookie = 1;
es.dwError = 0;
es.pfnCallback = StreamOut;
m_editor.StreamOut(SF_TEXT, es);
}

///
DWORD CALLBACK CRichEditorDlg::StreamIn( DWORD_PTR dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG *pcb )
{
return 1;
}

///
DWORD CALLBACK CRichEditorDlg::StreamOut( DWORD_PTR dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG *pcb )
{
return 1;
}

I find that the streamIn can be called back, but the streamOut can no be called back. when I use SF_RTF param in the StreamOut, the StreamOut do call back.

///
m_editor.StreamOut(SF_TEXT, es);

My question is that i hope convert rtf format data to txt format!

Can you help me?

How can I do?

Thanks

The callbacks should be normal functions, not class methods (unless they're static methods, of course). I've just found this code in my archives that writes text out of a richedit control called rich_.

DWORD __stdcall EditStreamCallback(DWORD_PTR dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG *pcb)
{
   LPCWSTR a = LPCWSTR(pbBuff);
   if (dwCookie == 100)
   {
      // pbBuff[0] to pbBuff[cb-1] contain the text of the rich-edit control.
   }
   return 0;
}

void CMyDlg::OnBnStreamOut()
{
   EDITSTREAM es = { 100, 0, &EditStreamCallback };
   rich_.StreamOut(SF_TEXT, es);
}

Note that where I've specified '100', you can specify any pointer value like (say) the pointer to your CRichEditorDlg object, so you could call back into the object from the callback if you needed.

Trapping WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP on entering text in edit control

Hi,
I need to carry out actions when an individual character is entered into a WIN32 C Edit control. These actions will take place each time a key is pressed and each time a key is released.

Characters will be entered into an Edit control, but the edit control does not know when a keydown/up message is needed, or an onchar.

I would appreciate some help in being able to 'trap' a keydown and keyup event when text is entered in an edit control.
Thanks
