Hello,

Is there a mean to draw a text in a rect, but I want the text fully fill the rect (bottom of the text == bottom of the rect).

For now,
I draw the text in a path.
I get path data, and I map all points to a rect of (1.f, 1.f).
And I fill the rect using matrix transformation.

My problem is that this method don't preserve anti-aliasing Dead | X|

So I want to draw my text directly with GDI to fill the rect.

any suggestions Confused | :confused:

Those functions don't fill all the rect with the text.

I want for example do -> MyDrawText(10, 30, 50, 1000) to draw a text of width = 50-10 = 40 pixels and height of 970 pixels.

Not using font height and width.

Is it possible with GDI ? not GDI+

The easiest solution would probably be to draw the text into a memory DC, then use StretchBlt() to copy it to the screen and stretch it as tall as you want. The result probably won't look too pretty, though.

Use GDI+ with double buffering. I tried the following code in an SDI app and it looked pretty good to me.

void CTestView::OnDraw(CDC *pDC)
{
    CRect rc;
    GetClientRect(&rc);
 
    Graphics g(*pDC);
    Bitmap bmp(107, 15, &g);
    Graphics memg(&bmp);
    Font f(L"Arial", 16);
    SolidBrush br(Color(255, 0, 0, 0));
 
    memg.DrawString(L"Hello World", 11, &f, PointF(-3.0, -3.0), &br);
    g.DrawImage(&bmp, 0, 0, rc.Width(), rc.Height());
}

While the antialiasing wasn't perfect, it definitely wasn't the blockness you get with straight GDI.

Addendum to my original reply

If you use a large font size, and a larger memory bitmap, the effect is even better.

ie, use a 72 point font, on a 600 x 100 memory bitmap

Bitmap bmp(600, 100, &g);
Graphics memg(&bmp);
Font f(L"Arial", 72);

Hello,

I wanna draw alti-aliased line in my application, but I don't know how to do it with GDI.

I'm pretty sure someone in the world has write this function for GDI. Do you know where to find it ?

Or just a method to smooth drawing routines of GDI..?

Thanks in advance for your help,

You can do it with GDI+.
There are several articles here on CodeProject about GDI+.

You'll probably have to do it yourself then. Fun exercise though:

HTTP GET POST commands

Kuniva2-Mar-03 2:46

2-Mar-03 2:46

Hello, i tried making this app that sends a GET or POST command to a forum server to post a message.
Normally you would use the POST command since thats just what you use to post stuff. But i had made a program before that used the GET command to post things instead of the POST command like this:

Normally:
POST http://www.<theforum>.com/cgi/addmessage HTTP/1.0
Referer: blablabla
Host: blablabla
Content-length: blablabla
Cookie: blablabla
(these are not important)

fid=31613&name=me&subject=hello&message=mymessage // <--- the actual data

So thats what a normal POST command would look like, but you could also use GET for this like this:
GET http://www.<theforum>.com/cgi/addmessage?fid=31613&name=me&subject=hello&message=mymessage HTTP/1.0 // So basically just add a "?" to the url and put the data behind it //
Referer: blablabla
Host: blablabla
Cookie: blablabla
(the normal stuff again, not important, i know how to work this)

Now the problem is, i tried both these methods to post something, no cookies were involved and yes i do have a proxy but i just posted it there and that should work, because it does for the other application i wrote once, but it just doesnt seem to work for this one, now does anyone have any idea of what could be the cause, i was thinking maybe its the server, because you see, what i do is i build up a socket, i connect to my proxy, send the GET or POST header and i disconnect. Now this worked fine for my other program (where i used the GET to post data by the way) but it doesnt work here, so i thought maybe its because the server needs to terminate the connection and not me or otherwise it wont process the data sent? So i would have to receive on the socket i used for sending first and put it in a buffer? Or does this have nothing to do with it? Any ideas what might be causing it to fail?

Thanks for your help

Just because a server supports POST does not mean it will support a GET. It is quite likely the server you are trying only accepts a POST for the particular URL

Re: HTTP GET POST commands

A couple suggestions :

- Are you sure the server still supports HTTP 1.0 ?
- Is the content-length header filled with the right buffer size ?
- Do you end the post data with a double EOL ?
- test with the Proxy-connection: keep-alive

Last but not least,
- Use wininet to manage all this for you

Thank you both for your replies, but i am sure neither of this is the problem. For the first reply: I tried both POST and GET, neither worked. For the second reply: I posted a message on the forum using my browser (internet explorer) and i captured the packets sent over my network. Then i sent the EXACT same data again using my application, so you see, it had nothing to do with Content-length, Proxy or whatever.
Thanks again for the replies but i'm affraid it will remain unsolved for now. Unsure | :~

MBCS filenames

Member 1307761-Mar-03 23:33

I'm told in mbcs systems the file names are allowed to upto 32000 chars long, whereas I've been writing code that assumes they can't be more than MAX_PATH chars long. In order to create files we have to use the unicode version of CreateFile with "\\?\" prepended to a file name in case of local disks and "\\?\UNC\" prefix with paths having the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format.

My question is is it enough for me to make sure I always use unicode versions of File I/O api's and check a file name if it starts with C:\ etc then I prepend "\\?\" to the file name without regard to the file length and if the filename starts with "\\" I prepend it with "\\?\UNC\" prefix? Do you see any gotchas here?

Yes - this won't work on non-Unicode enabled systems (such as 9X.)

I have been dealing wiith multibyte and Unicode stuff for a while now, and have never come across a filename like "\\?\..." (even though I have seen references to it in documentation.)

hi everybody.
I need to know if somebody is calling to modem on my pc,
for this i do following:

<br />
DWORD l_iResult = ::lineInitialize(&m_hTAPI ,NULL, lineCallbackFunc ,<br />
_T("MyApp"), &m_iNumberOfLineDevices);<br />
DWORD l_iResult = ::lineOpen( m_hTAPI , l_iDevLineID  , &m_hLine , m_iTAPIVersion , 0 , 100 , LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER ,LINEMEDIAMODE_DATAMODEM , NULL );<br />
DWORD dwLineStates = LINEDEVSTATE_CLOSE |LINEDEVSTATE_CONNECTED |			 LINEDEVSTATE_DISCONNECTED | LINEDEVSTATE_RINGING;<br />
DWORD lRes = lineSetStatusMessages(m_hLine, dwLineStates, 0);<br />

So , how can you see , I'll receive the event if somebody is calling to me , but i want to know who is it? that mean i want to know remote phone number.How can i do that?
Thanks to everybody who will react.

If your modem TSPI supports it, then you should recieve a LINE_CALLINFO message with the LINECALLINFOSTATE_CALLERID state.

You can use the lineGetCallInfo function to return the caller id.

A lot depends on the modem, and whether the telephone service provider is issuing the CLI. (Or if the CLI is blocked)

Two Frames

Arg.. getting a headache over this.. I create a static splitter window, and each pane loads another frame, and each frame loads another view.. I need to do this because both panes need independant toolbars. Anyways everything works fine untill you try and close the app.. then it blows up.. It fails when at CFrameWnd::OnDestroy(); and I can't figure out why.. If I replace one of the splitter panes with a standard CView then it works fine.. but if both panes are frames it blows up.. I just can't figure this out..

Any Ideas?

LVN_ITEMCHANGED not sent?

I have a CListCtrl in a tab within my dialog. I have hooked this list to the LVN_ITEMCHANGED message - ON_NOTIFY(LVN_ITEMCHANGED, IDC_LIST_SUBSCRIPTIONS, OnItemchangedListSubscriptions). However, my callback is not being called. I have other 'widgets' and they are working(ie buttons->ON_BN_CLICKED). I have my list displaying in report mode w/ columns,etc. I am running on Win2K/Visual Studio 6.0. Any help is appreciated
Thanks

LVN_ITEMCHANGED goes to the parent of the list - chances are, they are sent to the tab, rather than the dialog.
