Re: I have a LPWSTR and I need a LPCWSTR what do I do?

The one with the C (LPCWSTR) is constant. That's the only difference.
No conversion should be necessary.
In what case do you need to "convert"?
If you are passing a LPWSTR to a function that takes a LPCWSTR there's no problem.
If you're getting a warning, use a cast.
Casting from a LPCWSTR to a LPWSTR, on the other hand, is bad form IMO Smile | :)

Thanks for the reply mark, I'm passing a LPWSTR into a function which accepts a LPCWSTR, here's my code:

  TCHAR szFile[_MAX_PATH];       // buffer for file name<br />
	HANDLE test;<br />
<br />
	// Initialize OPENFILENAME<br />
	ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));<br />
	ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);<br />
	ofn.hwndOwner = mainLoop.hWnd;<br />
	ofn.lpstrFile = szFile;<br />
	//<br />
	// Set lpstrFile[0] to '\0' so that GetOpenFileName does not <br />
	// use the contents of szFile to initialize itself.<br />
	//<br />
	ofn.lpstrFile[0] = '\0';<br />
	ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);<br />
	ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("All\0*.*\0Text\0*.TXT\0");<br />
	ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;<br />
	ofn.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;<br />
	ofn.nMaxFileTitle = 0;<br />
	ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL;<br />
	ofn.Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST;<br />
<br />
	// Display the Open dialog box. <br />
<br />
	if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn)==TRUE) <br />
		test = CreateFile(ofn.lpstrFile, GENERIC_READ,<br />
			0, (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,<br />
			OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,<br />
			(HANDLE) NULL);<br />
<br />
<br />
	if (FAILED (D3DXGetImageInfoFromFile(szFile, &Info))){<br />
                  OutputDebugString("Failed to load image info");<br />
	}

I've tried everything I can think of, I've a fairly good understanding of UNICODE and ANSI encoding and I can't see where I'm going wrong. Any help would be really a life saver. Would it be possible for me to send you all my code incase I'm making a mistake else where and just can't see it?

Oh and if I call this with D3DXGetImageInfoFromFile(_T("F:\\Pictures\\ShannonTrip2006-PrintRun\\ShannonTrip2006 326.jpg"), &Info) it works fine.

Hmm looks ok to me.

Try MAX_PATH instead of _MAX_PATH (should be == 260)

If you put a breakpoint after the call to GetOpenFileName() what is the contents of szFile[]?

MAX_PATH or _MAX_PATH is no problem, I've just never used _MAX_PATH Smile | :)

Where is it failing??

Its failing in the DirectX call, it just returns an error code stating invalid call which according to the api means its a bad parameter. It works if I just directly input the literal using _T("")

Ok.
Use the debugger to stop on (that is just before) the call and look at the string.
If it is not OK, try again with the brekpoint set right where the variable is set.

how to catch mouse in picture control

9-Oct-06 8:01

I almost forgot...

Be careful with this line...

ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);

It should be

ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile) / sizeof(TCHAR);
or
ofn.nMaxFile = _MAX_PATH;

ofn.nMaxFile should be set to the maximum number of characters, not bytes.
This change will make it correct for both UNICODE and non-UNICODE compilation.

Hello everybody,
I have some question about Visual c++.net ,as follows:
first , how to reset pixel of picture control .
second , how to catch mouse i picture control .
please help me solve these problem ,think you .

hi!
use Invalidate() function to reset pixel of picture control.

8-Oct-06 17:01

I'm sorry , I still can't understand your meaning ,because I don't know how to reset pixel use Invalidate(). I have tried to do like as follows:
1.set a variable(m_map) to picture control ,then do like this:
BITMAP bm;
bm.bmWidth=3600;
m_map.SetBitmap(bm);
but the soft can't be passed , because bm is not HBITMAP .
2. CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_COORD);
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rect);
rect.left=0;
rect.right=3600;
m_map.Invalidate();
It is no use , please help me , think you very much .

you call LoadBitmap for your control variable.
m_map.LoadBitmap(idBitmap)
idBitmap is your bitmap resource.

or

in picture control properies; you select Bitmap in Type combo and select your bitmap id in Image combo.

excusme if my answer isn't complate.

CDC* pDC;<br />
pDC = GetDC();

and other members of CDC Class (MoveTo(), LineTo())
and final call invalidate() function for redraw controls.

It's pervfect,i think use this way to draw line , it's no problem , but in the fact ,at the same time, I want to get point value in line by mouse .so I have to modify pixel .can you help me? very very thanks.

my soft mainly function is communication and exchange parameters between PC and microprocessor . when PC get temperature value form microprocessor , It need display (one by one,each drop connect with line),and at the same time , I can catch some drop value form interface by mouse , if I don't reset the pixcel of picture control , it is very difficult to get a drop's situation by mouse ,so it can't get the drop value .
I draw line like as follows, if I only need draw line , I think this way is no problem, but I need catch one drop . so i don't know how to do .

Hi, I'm trying to completely suppress a window of another process, i.e. the main window doesn't display, doesn't appear at taskbar for even one second.
Imagine you are playing 3D game in full screen, suddenly a window appears and minimizes your game screen, and you die in the game...
I've tried using SetWindowsHookEx to install a hook for each WH_CALLWNDPROC and WH_CBT, then SetWindowLong to subclass the target window to modify every single call to WM_SHOWWINDOW, WM_SETFOCUS, WM_ACTIVATE, WM_ACTIVATEAPP, WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING, etc. In addition, I also call LockSetForegroundWindow(LSFW_LOCK) and PostMessage(hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) whenever possible.
In the subclass WindowProc, for every WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING message, I modify the lParam, change the flags to SWP_HIDEWINDOW|SWP_NOACTIVATE|SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_ NOOWNERZORDER|SWP_NOREPOSITION|SWP_NOSENDCHANGING|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOZORDER
For every WM_SHOWWINDOW and WM_ACTIVATEAPP message, I modify the wParam to FALSE.
So far, the window will appear for a brief split second then disappear. This is still not good enough for me because of that split second, it minimizes the active game screen.

Does anybody know what other message, or flag that I show be trying? Is what I'm trying to do possible at all?

Thanks much!
