I hate programming today (project conflict/calling convention conflict, ... )

I think my karma wants me to go home instead of staying at work today.

I'm using Dundas Grid compiled into a static lib that I want to link into a simple wizard dialog based application.

In the dialog header I have :

#pragma once
#include "Dundas_Grid/Include/UGCtrl.h"
...

class CtestGridDlg : public CDialog
{
// Construction
public:
	CtestGridDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL);	// standard constructor
//// standard stuff

protected:
  CUGCtrl m_Grid;
};

and when the dialog class gets created, it all barfs up.

BOOL CtestGridApp::InitInstance()
{
/// standard InitInstance stuff ...
	CtestGridDlg dlg;  /// < ---- after this line, <code>this</code> becomes <code>NULL</code>.
	m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
/// ...

When CtestGridDlg is constructed, it will construct the CUGCtrl class and in that constructor something happens that completly messes up the memory.

In my project, I have 1 library (Dundas grid) and my wizard based dialog application, nothing else.

I have checked that both library and main application have "MFC in Shared DLL" , not using ATL, using multi-byte character sets, are build using the same calling conventions ( __cdecl (/Gd)) , the same runtime library ( Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) ), There are no additional macros or #define.

Now, I'm at a loss at what I have to look for in my project; The same sources work in our main source trunk, the settings are the same.

Any ideas before I start thinking throwing my computer across the room ?

Thanks and merry whatever.

Getting the bitmap in and out of a CGIPLUS Image class

I am sorry to ask so many queries, but:-

Thanks to previous help, I have got my graphics program adapted from Borland C++ 4.5 to Visual C++ 2008. When it is to read a JPG file, I have got as far as reading the file into a GDI+ 'class Image'. But please, how can I:-

Extract from a GDI+ `class Image' the contained image information data as described by a Windows BITMAPINFO and BITMAP?

Given a set of image information data in a Windows BITMAPINFO and BITMAP, create a GDI+ `class Image' using that data or a copy of it?

I have searched around in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/---- and not found what I was looking for.

One way to obtain a GDI bitmap from a GDI+ Bitmap is to use
Bitmap::GetHBITMAP() to get a copy as a GDI HBITMAP, something like:

Bitmap MyBitmap(L"C:\\some.jpg");

Color clr(0x00,0x00,0x00);
HBITMAP hbm;
MyBitmap.GetHBITMAP(clr, &hbm);

//BITMAP bm;
//::GetObject(hbm, sizeof(BITMAP), &bm);

You can also build a DIBSection and extract the pixel data yourself,
something like:

Bitmap MyBitmap(L"C:\\some.jpg");

WORD BitsPerPixel = 24;
int BytesPerRow = (((MyBitmap.GetWidth() * (long)BitsPerPixel + 31L) &(~31L)) / 8L);
int PixelDataSize = MyBitmap.GetHeight() * BytesPerRow;

BITMAPINFO BitmapInfo;

BITMAPINFOHEADER *pBMIH = &BitmapInfo.bmiHeader;
pBMIH->biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
pBMIH->biWidth = MyBitmap.GetWidth();
pBMIH->biHeight = MyBitmap.GetHeight(); // positive indicates bottom-up DIB
pBMIH->biPlanes = 1;
pBMIH->biBitCount = BitsPerPixel;
pBMIH->biCompression = BI_RGB;
pBMIH->biSizeImage = PixelDataSize;
pBMIH->biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
pBMIH->biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
pBMIH->biClrUsed = 0;
pBMIH->biClrImportant = 0;

BYTE *pPixelDataBytes = 0;
HBITMAP hBitmap = CreateDIBSection(NULL, &BitmapInfo, DIB_RGB_COLORS, (void **)&pPixelDataBytes , NULL, 0); 

BitmapData bmData;
Rect bmRect(0, 0, MyBitmap.GetWidth(), MyBitmap.GetHeight()); 
MyBitmap.LockBits(&bmRect, ImageLockModeRead, PixelFormat24bppRGB, &bmData); 

BYTE *pCurrentSourceByte = (BYTE *)bmData.Scan0;
// DIBsection is bottom-up...start at the bottom row...
BYTE *pCurrentDestinationByte = pPixelDataBytes + ((MyBitmap.GetHeight() - 1) * BytesPerRow);
// ... and work our way up
int DestinationStride = -BytesPerRow;

for (UINT CurY = 0; CurY < MyBitmap.GetHeight(); ++CurY)
{
	// copy one row of pixel data
	memcpy(pCurrentDestinationByte, pCurrentSourceByte, BytesPerRow);

	pCurrentSourceByte += bmData.Stride;
	pCurrentDestinationByte += DestinationStride;
}

MyBitmap.UnlockBits(&bmData);

Thanks for your help here.

However, the function as it now stands (without text which I commented out to track the bug down)) is:

short jpgread (image&I,char*filename){
int i,n=strlen(filename),CurY; WCHAR fn[600];
for(i=0;i<=n;i++) fn[i]=filename[i];
using namespace Gdiplus;
GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusStartupInput;
ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;
GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);
Bitmap MyBitmap(fn);
GdiplusShutdown(gdiplusToken);
return 1;}

which causes

Unhandled exception at 0x73826a6a in ppp_vc.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x011b227c.

in the function

inline Image::~Image() { DllExports::GdipDisposeImage(nativeImage);}

in GdiPlusBitmap.h

The stack frame dropdown says that this was called by
Gdiplus:Image::~Image() (line 92), which was called by
Gdiplus:Bitmap::Bitmap() + 0x2b bytes, which was called by
the jpgread() shown here.

I was compiling in the mode "align struct elements on multiples of 1".
-------------------
If I remove the line
Bitmap MyBitmap(fn);
the function runs through without error-exiting (but does nothing useful).

I inserted statements giving values to the elements of the struct gdiplusStartupInput, but it still error-exited in Image::~Image().

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please also, how can I put an existing HBITMAPINFO and HBIPMAP into a `class Image' or `class Bitmap' and then output it to a JPG file?

I'm not sure how you got that to compile, but you
need to actually convert the char string to a
WCHAR string before passing it to the constructor.

One way is with the ATL string conversion macros....

#include <AtlConv.h>
...

using namespace Gdiplus;
...

short jpgread (image&I, char*filename)
{
//   int CurY; 

   GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusStartupInput;
   ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;
   GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);

   // converts ANSI string to WCHAR string
   CA2W wcharfilename(filename);

   Bitmap MyBitmap(wcharfilename);

   GdiplusShutdown(gdiplusToken);
   return 1;
}

GdiplusShutdown must be called out of scope of the Bitmap object.
The Unhandled exception arise because the GdiplusShutdown function is called
before the Bitmap object is destructed.So define Bitmap object within { }.

<br />
short jpgread (image&I, char*filename)<br />
{<br />
//   int CurY; <br />
<br />
   GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusStartupInput;<br />
   ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;<br />
   GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);<br />
   {<br />
      // converts ANSI string to WCHAR string<br />
      CA2W wcharfilename(filename);<br />
<br />
      Bitmap MyBitmap(wcharfilename);<br />
   }//MyBitmap goes out of scope here<br />
   GdiplusShutdown(gdiplusToken);<br />
   return 1;<br />

GDI+ Why does the trick fail, one Rect to two Points

Graphis g;
Rect rt;
...
g.TransformPoints(CoordinateSpaceWorld,CoordinateSpacePage,(Point*)&rt,2);

BTW the way, for example, there are two ways to do invalidate:
a. Invalide(FALSE)
b. Calculate a rect to invalidate(calc bound box including a bound box of a rotated rect, and do Rect::Union about 3 times, and with some if...else...),and do InvalidateRect

In OnDraw, only copy a memory Grahpics to the screen.
Which is more efficient?

Maybe because a Gdiplus::Rect is a point and a size, not two points.

followait wrote:

I'm not sure what you're asking. The less pixels rendered to the screen,
the more efficient drawing will be. Unless your calculated rect is always
close to the size of the entire window, using method b should always be more
efficient.

about the invaliate question

Because it is a little complex to calculated the rectangle, which needs to be redrawn, also the code became less clear. Here is a sample code:

Rect rt;
if (m_pCtrlBoxSizing) {
    m_pCtrlBoxSizing->GetBoundRect(&rt);
} else if (m_pCtrlBoxRotating) {
    m_pCtrlBoxRotating->GetBoundRect(&rt);
} else if (m_pCtrlBoxMoving) {
    m_pCtrlBoxMoving->GetBoundRect(&rt);
}
Rect::Union(rt,rt,m_HotRt);
InvalidateRect(&CRect(rt.GetLeft(),
    rt.GetTop(),
    rt.GetRight(),
    rt.GetBottom()),FALSE);

or with a simple line

Invalidate(FALSE);

In OnDraw, there is only a bitblt

Only you can decide what's more important - clear code or
performance. +-10 simple lines of code isn't all that unclear
IMO Smile | :)

Of course, at some point, calculating an update region could
take longer than drawing all the pixels. That's application
specific - you'll have to determine that.

I personally have always got better performance by using update
rects/regions over full redraws. That's in my applications.

GetUserName() return "SYSTEM" FOR SYSTEM PROCESS

vicky0000021-Dec-07 4:25

For getting the user name in, we are call the GetUserName() in the Application context, in which case we get it right if the Application is launched form logged in user.

But in case of system process GetUserName() return "SYSTEM" as current user.

There is any API or Method to get the current user name in system process?

For systems with fast user switching (XP+) where more than one user
can be logged on at the same time, maybe something like this:

#include <WtsApi32.h>  // link to WtsApi32.lib
...
DWORD dwSessionId = WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId();
if (0xFFFFFFFF != dwSessionId)
{
    LPTSTR pUserNameStr = 0;
    DWORD dwBytesReturned = 0;

    if (WTSQuerySessionInformation(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER_HANDLE, dwSessionId, WTSUserName, &pUserNameStr, &dwBytesReturned))
    {
        // ... use pUserNameStr ...

        WTSFreeMemory(pUserNameStr);
    }

Extra bytes between struct elements spoiling match between structs and binary file formats: cure found

Go to: project, project property, C/C++, Code Generation, Struct Member Alignment: that gives an option to align all the struct elements on multiples of 1 or 2 or 4 or 8 or 16. Choose 1.

If you find that doesn't work for your whole project then you can set the alignment on individual types see here[^]. Setting global alignment to 1 may also cause performance issues, problems with calling certain APIs and the effects on COM are probably beyond my comprehension. Microsoft pretty universally assume that alignment will be 8 as that's the default for all MS Compilers since the dark ages so you may even have trouble calling stuff in the runtime with global 1 alignment.
