load bitmap that is not a resource 14-Oct-01 17:43 14-Oct-01 17:43  I want to load a bitmap from a specified location on my hard drive eg: "C:/bg.bmp" rather then using a resource bitmap like LoadBitmap(IDB_MYBITMAP) Any suggestions would be excellent, thanks Ryan Re: load bitmap that is not a resource Michael Dunn14-Oct-01 17:46 Michael Dunn 14-Oct-01 17:46  Use LoadImage() and give it the flag LR_LOADFROMFILE. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "The Earth is doomed." -- Rupert Giles your with and Re: load bitmap that is not a resource 14-Oct-01 22:05 14-Oct-01 22:05  Thank Mike, you rock. I used CBitmap bmp7; bmp7.Attach(::LoadImage(::AfxGetInstanceHandle(),"C:\\bg.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE)); Worked great. -Ryan Re: load bitmap that is not a resource Joaquín M López Muñoz14-Oct-01 20:07 Joaquín M López Muñoz 14-Oct-01 20:07  Be aware about Mike's suggestion of using LoadImage() that the flag LR_LOADFROMFILE does not work in Windows NT. If that poses a problem to you, have a look at Chris Maunder's DIBSection wrapper for Win32 and WinCE, which does the job of loading a .bmp file without resorting to LoadImage(). Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Re: load bitmap that is not a resource Michael Dunn14-Oct-01 22:01 Michael Dunn 14-Oct-01 22:01  Is this documented somewhere? I found no mention of this restriction in MSDN or the KB. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "The Earth is doomed." -- Rupert Giles your with and Re: load bitmap that is not a resource Joaquín M López Muñoz15-Oct-01 0:58 Joaquín M López Muñoz 15-Oct-01 0:58  Whis is a weird thing, you know, cause I wasn't able either to find this restriction on the MSDN as it is on the web. Nevertheless, my online documentation (arguably pretty much outdated, MS Visual Studio 97) says explicitly <bold>Windows NT: LR_LOADFROMFILE is not supported. Moreover, if you do a search on Google with LR_LOADFROMFILE "not supported" a number of entries appear repeating this assertion. Maybe the documentation is wrong and the guys from Microsoft silently corrected it, maybe the capability was added to NT with some SP everybody's assumed to have installed, who knows. IMHO this definitely deserves some investigation, I'll post anyting here I come up with. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Re: load bitmap that is not a resource Joaquín M López Muñoz15-Oct-01 5:25 Joaquín M López Muñoz 15-Oct-01 5:25  Well, after some searching on USENET archives, seems that LR_LOADFROMFILE is indeed supported since NT 4.0 (and even before than that), and the claim on the documentation is simply false, and eventually was removed. Some of the articles I found relevant to the issue are: (BTW, one of the folks is well known here in CodeProject) Naughter, PJ: Re: LoadImage not supported under NT?, comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, 1998/01/26 Chen, R: Re: Does LoadImage(..) work with LOADFROMFILE under NT 4.0 ?, comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, microsoft.public.win32.programmer, 1998/02/04 Naughter, PJ: Re: Loading bmp file using LoadImage on Windows NT 4.0, microsoft.public.vc.mfc, microsoft.public.win32.programmer.gdi, microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui, 1999/01/29 So, my apologies to all, and good luck using LoadImage() Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo LoadImage() for NT (Q264347) 12-Apr-02 8:43 12-Apr-02 8:43  I recently found article Q264347 regarding the behavioral differences between NT (2000 & XP) vs. Win9x. It says LoadImage() could fail in NT due to biSizeImage being invalid in the BITMAPINFOHEADER struct. But I don't get it how to remedy the invalid value prior to loading via LoadImage(). I've also recently discovered that XP doesn't have a problem loading uncompressed .BMPs, but won't load by 4-bit RLE bitmap files. What's the deal?

This is for internal use only and is to save me going to everyone's laptop and doing the deletion myself. Also several staff are interstate so I can't get to their laptop's anyway. If you think I am not giving much credit to my colleagues inteliigence read the next sentence. I am currently fixing someone's laptop because they installed typing software for their girlfriend on the laptop running NT. A quick read of the package said not or NT. Anyway on with the problem. ::DeleteFile() works a treat and I successfully delete all files in the directory. The directory is now empty, no other process is using this directory that I know of. No programs were running from this directory. When I call ::RemoveDirectory it fails and returns 32. The description is as follows The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.. This is a directory I created to add a couple of icons, .pif's and batch files to allow staff dialled in to access Novell shares. These shares are no longer valid, so I want to remove the staff's ability to try and conect. Their that stupid.

Andrew Peace14-Oct-01 11:21 Andrew Peace 14-Oct-01 11:21  Whoah!!! It's a bad idea to write your own collection classes in 99% of cases - just use STL's vector<int&rt; or list<int&rt;. Also, when the list is empty the rear pointer should be NULL because there would be no items in the list. If the rear pointer contained a valid pointer and it's next value pointed to itself then there would be one item in the list. Thus, a correct implementation would have the constructor set the rear pointer to NULL, the empty function would return (rear == NULL); and the put, push and pop would have to be modified to identify the special case of having an empty list. Hope that's helpful. If you really need to do your own list then let me know and I'll try and give you some pointers (no pun intended ). Here are the basic charcteristics: have a pointer to the first or last item in the list each node has a pointer to the next (or previous), or both next and previous item in the case of a doubly linked list the first node's pPrev pointer is always NULL the final node's pNext pointer is always NULL -- Andrew.

Christian Graus14-Oct-01 14:59 Christian Graus 14-Oct-01 14:59  I'd venture a guess that he's stuck on an assignment. Why else would you write your own list ? Having said that I have no problem helping him, he's obviously had a go at it and is asking for help from there.

DanYELL14-Oct-01 9:13 DanYELL 14-Oct-01 9:13  ?? Just looking for a simple solution, but I haven't found one. Any ideas. I just want to separate the rows with a thin horizontal line. Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Danielle (an overworked graduate student) Re: Is it possible to create horizontal grid lines in a CListBox without doing something really extravagant? Shog914-Oct-01 17:34 Shog9 14-Oct-01 17:34  If you need to have gridlines in a CListBox, you will have to draw them yourself. There's a whole section here on owner drawn listboxes, it's not hard. However, if you can use a CListCtrl class, you can get gridlines free, just by setting the LVS_EX_GRIDLINES extended style. Nice, eh? Proper use of SendInput() Sinoth14-Oct-01 9:02 Sinoth 14-Oct-01 9:02  I'm trying to throw some text at a window, such as sending "Hello" to an open Notepad window.. and I'm guessing I should use the SendInput() function. Can anyone give me a simple example of how to use this function, because I can't get anywhere with it... thanks.

Gavin Toolbar Trouble James Bird14-Oct-01 8:39 James Bird 14-Oct-01 8:39  I am having problems with my owner-drawn toolbar. I am programming in Win32 so, no MFC code can fix this problem. I need to be able to get rid of the default highlight of items that have the TBSTATE_MARKED state and in the MSDN library tells me that when the dwDrawStage of the custom draw is at CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT, I should return the TBCDRF_NOMARK value but the problem is that the dwDrawStage is NEVER CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT. It is only ever CDDS_PREPAINT. Can anyone get this to work? Do I need to set each of the toolbar buttons to TBSTYLE_CUSTOMDRAW as well? Thanks in advance, James Bird - birdjames@bigfoot.com Re: Toolbar Trouble Michael Dunn14-Oct-01 9:39 Michael Dunn 14-Oct-01 9:39  In the prepaint stage, you need to return CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW to get custom draw messages for each button. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ "The Earth is doomed." -- Rupert Giles your with and Microsoft Norway Could Not Help Me Maybe You Can ;-) 14-Oct-01 7:43 14-Oct-01 7:43  I run english version of windows 2000 Pro and the input locales is set to norwegian as default. When I run sysprep and gosted the pc's and the minisetup is finished, the input language is set back to english and I must change it back to norwegian on all the computers in the classroom again. Here is the case. Can someone write a script that changes the input language to norwegian that I can put into the "Run once" section in the sysprep.inf file.
