I have not done a lot of work with regions, but is that information not available in the RGNDATAHEADER?
Otherwise, I am not aware of such a function as I have never had the need for one.
You may be right
I may be crazy

no, the data header states the number of rectangles in the struct, from which the size can again be calculated, but not the size itself. Like I said though, it's no big deal.

Ok, so the data is there, just not in the convenient form that you would like to see.

yeah. I was hoping for something like sizeof() which would guarantee the allocated size. Calculating it from the data within the struct could lead to problems if the data was deleted or incorrect.
And once again, your 'Image Viewer' is making my life easier  I just re-coded a lot of my region creating functions only to find the output is not what I expected. My first thought was "$%^&# I calculated the rectangles wrong", so fire up the old viewer, and guess what, the regions are perfect. Without your work I would have spent all night tearing my functions apart trying to find the fault, at least now I know where not to look.

And now you know exactly why I wrote it to begin with. Been there, done that

Well I found the problem ( a region being inverted when it no longer needs to be ). I still say you should sell it, even if you sell the development rights, it's a great tool and I'm sure many coders would benefit from it.

You know the size when you do the alloc. If you need to keep that size around for later use, then you have to store it somewhere.
An alternative is to use a vector of bytes:
vector<BYTE> vec(1000);
RGNDATA* pData = (RGNDATA*) &vec[0];
vector<BYTE>::size_type cbyBuffer = vec.size();

C is a pain

Yes...
WalderMort wrote: For example I need to allocate space for a RGNDATA struct which is a little more than a simple array. Allocating the space is no problem, but how is it possible to later find out how much memory was allocated? In C a call to _msize() would do the job, but experience tells me not to mix C and C++ when it comes to memory.
The way that classes like vector do it is to store the size in a variable, I am sure.
WalderMort wrote: Is there a way to do this other than storing the size when it was allocated?
There are tricks with sizeof that I've seen used, such as sizeof(x)/sizeof(char) for the size of a char array. But, I'd be inclined to use vector, the address of item [0] is the address of the whole array. Or, write your own class to handle it.

This *might* work:
int *x = new int[345];
printf("You allocated %lu bytes\n", *((unsigned long *) x - 4));

I am making a SDI application.In that when a user click a tool bar button a dialog box opens up in that user have to fill sum values n then he has to press save button ...

Hi,
Actually, you'd use PostMessage if your dlg were modeless.
Probably not. The save button closes the dlg, but after that you hold the C++ object of that dlg. So you can retrieve the entered values from the dlg and pass them to the list ctrl;
<br />
CMyDlg dlg;<br />
if (IDOK == dlg.DoModal())<br />
{
CString val1 = dlg.m_val1;<br />
<br />
m_list.Add (val1);
}

Handle OnLButtonDown Message and generate your own context menu there

Hi all.
In my application I am calling a SHGetFolderLocation() function to load a browse Folder dialog.
I have included Shlobj.h and also I have added shell32.lib file in
Project->Settings->Lib tab.
The version of shell32.dll is 6.0.2900.2180.
But when I tried to compile a program, it gives me a compile time error
" error C2065: 'SHGetFolderLocation' : undeclared identifier "
Can anybody help?
Thanks
