UNICODE problem.

Hi to all

Recently I decided to move my application to UNICODE. All is near done (it complies and works (most of the time)) but I found a strange problem.

When I have some unicode string in for example WCHAR szTest[100] table - calling AfxMessageBox or SetWindowText on dialogs - displays unicode strings correctly.

But if I try to SetWindowText the same string into static control (or button) it shows a garbage text. Spy++ utility reports that those static controls and buttons are Unicode windows.

Any idea why it works this way?
Thanks for your time!

If you're using VC 6, you need to manually edit the .rc file and change the dialogs to use MS Shell Dlg as the font instead of MS Sans Serif.

Thanks Michael - that solved the problem. I wonder why it's not mentioned even a single time in MSDN...

CDC GetWindowExt WinXP->Win98

Hi GURUS
Ive transfered a program from WinXP back to Win98 (VC++6,MFC)
Trying to print on the same printer I get following problem:
Code:
m_PrintDC.SetMapMode( MM_HIMETRIC );
CSize winsize = m_PrintDC.GetWindowExt();

In WinXP I get the correct size of the window in HiMetric
(about 20100x27000) but in Win98 I always get 2450 x 2450 !!
I also cannot change (SetWindowExt, SetViewportExt ) to anything.
Calling m_PrinterDC.GetMapMode() results in MM_HIMETRIC !
The GetDeviceCaps(HORZSIZE)... works fine !.
But calling LineTo() with values in the range of the devicecaps is outside WindowExt/Org so it doesnt work -
Where does this difference come from ? Is there any default in XP which I have to Set for Windows 98. (another mapping mode ?)..
pls help, -> thx !

http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp?page=8&s=music[^] <- This site should give you some help with that. It should give you the format of the data to read. Be careful when loading the sound data, as it could take up a lot of memory.

Simple PNG loading...

I need a really Easy, Compatible and preferably Lightweight way to load PNG files to a DIB. I also need the alpha channel to be read correctly. So far I've looked at CxImage (rather heavyweight, and discontinued by David Pizzolero), libpng (very difficult to compile or link in MSVC7) and http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/graphicsuite.asp[^] (but this requires a recent version of IE). Does anyone have any suggestions?

if you'll allow me a blatant advertisement, i can recommend my company's own library, ImgSource. it does tons more than just loading PNGs, but the linker will ensure that only the parts you use will get used, so you won't get penalized if you don't use it all. PNG support should add about 100K to your app.

here's a sample:

<br />
// three lines to get a PNG into a DIB<br />
HISSRC hSrc = IS3OpenFileSource(filename);<br />
HGLOBAL hDIB = IS3ReadImageToDIB(hSrc,...);<br />
IS3CloseSource(hSrc);<br />
<br />
BITMAPINFOHEADER *pDIB = (BITMAPINFOHEADER *)hDIB;<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
// delete it when you're done.<br />
GlobalFree(hDIB);<br />

you can call c/c++ code from python and there is a version of python for pocket pc.
and i have written a few simple dll's that work from python on pocket pc
the problem is in xml processing - i tried the code at http://www.codeproject.com/soap/ce_xml.asp but as soon as i put the Python wrappers around it and point to the Python include files, i get errors

It looks like you need to set things to compile for UNICODE rather than ANSI.

I usually place something like the following lines in my stdafx.h file, before any other definitions or #include's:

#undef  _MBCS
#define UNICODE
#define _UNICODE
#if (!defined(_WINDLL))
    #pragma comment(linker,"/entry:\"wWinMainCRTStartup\"")
#endif

The #pragma sets the entry point for the application to the UNICODE entry point for the runtime library startup code.

You need to handle a little more than OnPaint, but not much.

Have a look at

theres plenty of examples there of what you can do.

udb brodcast

pma3-Sep-04 23:40

3-Sep-04 23:40

I'd like to have a application that is both server and client,
if the application starts, it checks if another instance of this
application is running on another server on the same LAN, if so
it should send back some indification message.

So I suppose I've to send a udb-broadcast with the server-part of
the application, the other instance receives this braodcast with
it's own server part and send's back a message to the other instance
with the client part.

Maybe someone can give a link to a source code sample Confused | :confused:

Thank you
Mario
