I need more information on how you are trying to display the icon (using a static control with SS_ICON style, drawing it manually, etc.), and if possible, send me (via email) a copy of the ICO file you are trying to use and I will take a look at it to see if anything is wonky with it.
Peace!

I am trying to write down some application where I have to send large bitmaps across network. These bitmaps will be from a single source and possibility is that most of the time they will have very little difference with each other.
I am trying to write down a program so that I can calculate difference between two bitmaps and send across only data describing difference and recreate bitmap at receiving end.
I can do rest all fairly easily I guess other that I am not finding any thing on internet which can guide me to calculate difference between two bitmap images efficiently. Any kind of resource link will also be greatly appreciated in this regard.
Last point is that I have already experimented with all compressed bitmap formats like gif, jpeg as well as few compression algorithms and I think none of them reduce data that needs to be transferred across network fairly smaller.
Thanks,
Krishna

You could, like many video codecs does, split up the image in 16x16 blocks, compare the block and if there are no difference, just don't send it.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you are simply trying to diff the images, or are you trying to determine if a change is significant enough (like MPEG encoding/compression)? If the Former, any binary-capable diff-like utility should work.
A Quick-n-dirty way (which I do not recommend) would be to do calculate and store a difference for each pixel: if you have very little image difference, you will end up with a lot of "zero-value-deltas", which would compress easy and well.
But that would be like using a shotgun to kill a fly...

Hi,
I am wondering if someone could instruct me on setting a pragma option so that it is in effect for a single source file only. In this case, I would like to disable a couple of warning messages, but I don't want to disable them from that point forward. I have a class, which is generating some of the Unreferenced inline function has been removed warnings (C4514, I think), and I would like to disable this warning for this particular class, or for the .cpp file the class is defined in. The particular project is a static library, so there is no stadafx.h.
Thanks,
Aaron

Example :-
#inlcude "stdafx.h"
#pragma warning (disable : 4786)
//Some thing that generates the warning
#pragma warning (default : 4786)
//Warning is reenabled
|
|

|

to really get rid of these warnings, you need to put that pragma after (and before) each place you #include the STL headers that are generating the warnings.
i think the STL headers actually reset the warning settings themselves, overriding whatever you've set. so, you have to keep resetting it.

Actually, it's not an STL header that's causing the problem. Just some C++ class with a bunch of inline functions. I can figure out how to turn off the warning, I just didn't want to leave it turned off for ever and ever, that seems like bad form. The project is in a pretty large workspace, with a lot of other projects, ant I was sure how to figure out how to bracket the source code that generated the warnings so that it would be reenabled for subsequent projects.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it seems to be working now. I put the disable in the header of the offending class above the class declaration, and re-enable the warning after the #include "offending_class.h".

I want to get the selected text(if any) in the window with which the user is currently working. But window is not my application window, any window in system. I write this code:
CWnd* ParentWnd = GetForegroundWindow();
ParentWnd->GetWindowText( szWnd );
CWnd* ChildWnd = ParentWnd->GetTopWindow();
ChildWnd->SendMessage( WM_COPY, 0, 0 );
ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_bShow = TRUE;
m_ctlWord.SetWindowText("");
m_ctlWord.Paste();
It works with notepad but doesn't work with Internet Explorer or MS Word. How can I get the text in all windows?

How can I know when a file is opened ?
Ex: When a user use Notepad to open "a.txt", I can catch a message "WM_?" with lParam storing filename: "a.txt"
I want to use this message to write a program to lock any files in my system.
Any help ?
Thanks !

You can use LockFile or LockFileEx to lock a specific file, or drive.

How can I get the column count of a list control ? By functions is good as by message !
Ex: I can get the row count with GetItemCount(), LVM_GETITEMCOUNT,
but there is no GetColumnCount, LVM_GETCOLUMNCOUNT ?

Use List View Header Control GetItemCount to fetch the number of columns.
CHeaderCtrl * pMyHeaderCtrl = MyListCtrl.GetHeaderCtrl();
ASSERT(pMyHeaderCtrl != NULL);
int nColumns = pMyHeaderCtrl->GetItemCount();

Hey, I never understood it when implementing OnMeasureItem in ownerdraw menus how to calculate width. Height is easy since ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU) is available. In most textbooks I've seen they just take the height (::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU)) and multiply it with some magic number, like 4. In other examples i've seen the following: ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXMENUCHECK) * 5. Is there some easy way or is the correct way to count the number of pixels you need and use that for itemWidth in the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT?
Thanks, Patric

When you open explorer, then the column that the items are sorted after has an arrow after the column title telling whether the sorting is ascending or descending. Can i add such an arrow in my listview control?
|

time to get yourself a copy of the MSDN, or visit www.microsoft.com. this answer to this question (and most of your others) is right there waiting for you... 
but, what you need to do is to pass an HDITEM struct to the header control (which is a child of the list control). the HDITEM has flags that you can use to turn on that arrow.
-c

Yes, there are several articles available that show you how.
If you are targeting Windows XP (or greater), the HDF_SORTDOWN and HDF_SORTUP styles/flags may help you.
Peace!

Where should i set those flags? WHen i use them the compiler says unknown identifier. As far as i can see i use them for the header control. But, isn't it possible to use the properties in my List COntrol?
|
|
|
|

You set those flags in the HDITEM structure which is used to directly manipulate Header Control items. You can get the Header Control from a ListView Control by sending it a message (or using CListCtrl::GetHeaderCtrl()).
The reason they are showing up as undefined identifiers is because you have to set your _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER identifiers to the correct values before including any Win32 header files. You will also need to have an updated installation of the Platform SDK.
If your app is going to be running on other version of windows besides XP, you should really take the Owner Draw aproach: it is not that hard, and there are some existing articles that will walk you through it.
Peace!

Yes. You can add your own image in the list control header.
An image (up or down) has to be custom drawn on subclassing list view header control. And you have to keep track on upside or downside arrow. There are examples avaiable on net. below URL example works fine for me

Help!
I have an MFC SDI application. A splitter window defines two panes. On the left contains a CHtmlView. On the right contains a simple view for drawing images. How do I modify this application so that it can be instantiated inside Internet Explorer such that the CHtmlView uses the IExplore's webcontrol? Any pointers would help. I have looked already into two ideas: make MFC SDI into an Active Document Server or convert the MFC SDI into an ActiveX control. Are these the only ways?
|
|

|

If your application
- is tightly integrated with IE then you may opt for ATL/WTL based application.(this will give high performance)
- is a standalone application and IE plugin, then activex control.
- needs just the url or some simple information...MFC SDI should will do good.
If you are intrested only in MFC, then choose MFC document server.
You want both MFC windowing and ATL, then add ATL component to MFC SDI project.
Let us know where your application falls in ???
Thanks,
Ramu

I think I am faced with a very common problem. I need to exchange Data Between VB and C++ through a DLL. I have been successful in everything but (UDT's with Fixed Length Strings) and (UDT's with Variable Length Strings). I have tried many different things including using a typelib (exchangeable between VB and C++) and various packing (#pragma pack(1)) problems. Has anyone had success with this before. I am only passing the array by Reference from VB./

Hi.
I will begin work on a feature in a program to do a search on search engines such as Google and Yahoo. For example, the user will type in whatever phrase he/she wants such as "race & cars," and the program will do a search via Google and print the responses.
I am not sure what message I need to send and where to send it if I want to search from, for example, Google. Do I send this:
// "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=race+%26+cars//
I pasted the code above directly from the URL when I did a search at Google.
Secondly, what data will the search engine return? For example, the search above came back with more than ten pages at Google. Will Google send back all pages or one page at a time?
Please add if you have any experience dealing with search engines and/or communicating with websites in general.
Thanks,
Kuphryn
