i think m_image_new is a CString variable and i completely don't understand
what you're trying to do with this :

m_image_new.CWnd::ShowWindow( SW_SHOW );

If you use MFC, you can use the CTime and CTimeSpan classes, they will allow you to do exactly what you are looking for.

Something like:

CTime Time(2005,6,2,0,0,0);  // Look in the doc for the "daylight savings time" that you want to use
CTimeSpan Span(100,0,0,0);

CTime NewTime = Time + Span;  // NewTime will hold the time you are looking for

[EDIT] I don't use that very often so you have to check if that works, it was just for information... [/EDIT]

Problem with ListCtrl while using Manifest file for XP Look

Hi,

I have an application (in VC++ 6.0) wherein it displays the images in ListView. So the application starts displaying the images from the Top left corner (0,0).
Now I have added the manifest file (to give XP look to application) in applicatoin resource successfully. (as outlined in the below mentioned link http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/controls/article.php/c5227/)
The application is having the XP look but the images are displayed from the Bottom left corner.

Please I need some help in understanding
1. Why origin of the ListCtrl is changing
2 .How to set the origin of the ListCtrl to top left corner (0,0) so that the images are displayed from the top left corner (0,0) ?

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks & Regards,
Neeraj

Grayscale Image Display

Hi.

This problem has been driving me mad for too long now. I have a 640x480 char array of data. I need to display that in grayscale in a Window (currently using a CFrameWnd). I can't copy it to a 640x480x3 array and use SetDIBitsToDevice - that isn't fast enough (it's for a video application).

At the moment, I am using SetDIBitsToDevice with BITMAPINFO.biBitCount set to 8. The image displays correctly, except not in Grayscale - it's in a psychedelic 256-color palette mapping of some sort - I assume Window's default.

Try as I might, I can't get it to use a grayscale palette. I can't even create a palette from scratch - maybe if I could, I could get this to work. I've read Chris Becke's article on Bitmaps, and checked out forums all over - but nothing seems quite related to what I want to do. I can't believe that it is this difficult!

If anyone has an answer, or can recommend an article that would help... please do!

Hi All!

What's the SDK function of the DeflateRect of MFC

Re: DeflateRect

Stlan2-Jun-05 0:56

There is no corresponding function in the SDK. Actually, if you look at the definition of CRect::DeflateRect, you will see that it calls ::InflateRect by negating the parameters.

No SDK available for that, you have to implement that. here is small logic to proceed :-

void MyDeflate(RECT *rect,int left,int top,int right,int bottom)<br />
{<br />
	rect->bottom-=bottom;<br />
	rect->right-=right;<br />
<br />
	rect->top+=top;<br />
	rect->left+=left;<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
void MyDeflate(RECT *rect,SIZE size)<br />
{<br />
	MyDeflate(rect,size.cx,size.cy);<br />
}<br />
<br />
void MyDeflate(RECT *rect,int x, int y)<br />
{<br />
	MyDeflate(rect,x,x,y,y);<br />
<br />
}

Hey People,

I am finding using VC6 under Virtual PC to be very painful esp. when designing a dialog? Other Apps respond fine. Any Suggestions? I am running the latest VPC, XP, etc.

Thanks,

I suggest using RDP to access the virtual machine instead of using the 'normal' console. a RDP session is much more responsive.

I'm currently processing a very large binary file in which I need to move backwards and forwards through the file to check for start and end markers, once I've found a matching start and end marker I then go back to the end of the start marker and read in all of the data upto (and including) the end marker.

However I've found that when I use:
seekg ( -1, ios::cur )

it appears to stay on the current element, so I have to do
seekg ( -2, ios::cur ).

Is this correct behaviour? (btw I'm using -1 and -2 only as example values).

many thanks,
Andy

It's not staying on the same element.

Take an example, you have this text in a file: "Test". At the begining, the "file pointer" points before the letter 'T', then if you read this character, the file pointer will point just before the letter 'e'. Thus, if you do: seekg ( -1, ios::cur ), it will rewind one character and thus pointing before 'T', that is the letter you just read. So, as you can see it is not staying on the same element ! Because if didn't use the seekg ( -1, ios::cur ), you would have read the 'e' letter instead of 'T'.

Is it a little clearer ?
