(1) are the style correct? IIRC, you need to set the SS_BITMAP style for the static.
(2) UpdateWindow and IncvalidateRect aren't necessary here (unless you don't exit the message handler where you have this for quite a while, which is a bad idea)
(3) If you would need them, they are in the wrong order Smile | :)

(4) Test your program with different DLU to pixel conversions (i.e. with different dialog fonts)
(5) My first CP article[^] handles the extras that oyu might need to make the bitmap look good.

You can also use of CBitmap::Load if you are using of resource.

How is the usage of CBitmap class to load a saved bitmap in the resourceID. Request from you so Hamid.

CBitmap has a function its name is Load you can use of it for load bitmaps if you need to more explain you can reply to me. Wink | ;)

Retrieve Width and Height of a .PNG file

CBitmap m_bmp;
m_bmp.LoadBitmapW(IDB_BITMAP);

you must declare variable out of function if you want to use of it on the other functions and when you want to close your program you must release memory with m_bmp.DeleteObject();.

I'm creating a slot machine game using directX.

I couldn't find how to get the dimensions (width,height) of a .PNG file.

If you're loading the png image, then whatever you're
using to load it should be able to give you that info.

Check out the shared CImage class and the GDI+ Image and Bitmap
classes for a couple ways to load images.

Thank you very much Mark,

CImage solved my problem (using load() on the filename, then GetWidth()).

Do you think using this (only about 10 times during the init stage of my application)
can create any significant overhead ?

However, I wasn't able to find how to retrieve that info from D3DXCreateTextureFromFile, which is what I actually use to load the image resource (to draw textures using sprites in DirectX).

It's less efficient than just parsing the file for the info since the
entire image is loaded into memory. If you're going to use the
loaded image anyway then it doesn't matter - loading once at the beginning is
way better than reloading every time you need them.

I believe IDirect3DTexture9::GetLevelDesc() should give you this info.

IDirect3DTexture9::GetLevelDesc() gives you description of the levels of the texture. I haven't dive into it - but know that the picture get auto-scaled to a power of 2 dimension, for example:
(60 X 36) --> (64X64)

GetLevelDesc() helps ya get the 64x64 info.

I finally scaled currectly but it doesn't look as good as the original plus I'm concerned if sprites&textures are really the way.

happy new year Smile | :)

and thanks again

Linker troubles

I'm trying to use the handy RemoteLib found on this site, but I cannot even get my linker to work right. I have added the .lib to my Project, as well as the folders containing the lib/headers to my linker/additional folder settings (at least i think i got the steps here right....). I #include'ed "RemoteLib.h" . I am using VC8 (visual studio 2005).

When I compile the RemoteLib example project I get (and similar in my own):
Linking...
DemoDlg.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "struct
HINSTANCE__ * __cdecl RemoteGetModuleHandleNTW(unsigned long,wchar_t
const *)" (?RemoteGetModuleHandleNTW@@YAPAUHINSTANCE__@@KPB_W@Z)

Have you added RemoteLib.lib to the Linker command line?

Retrive JavaScript data from C++

Good day,

I'm having a little trouble and I'm not even sure if this can be done.

I am writing a program that calls an HTTP address in order to generate a javascript object that then needs to be read. The Web address generates a file that looks like this:

obj = new Object();
obj.var1='abc';
obj.var2='def';
obj.var3='geh';
obj.var4='ijk';

Currently, I am just calling that page and reading it in as a text stream. Doing it this way, I'm going to have to parse through the string and separate all the values manually.

Code is as follows:

static const char s_szAgent[] = "";

CString str;
CString strURL = "http://mysite.com/js.go?var=test";

try
{
CInternetSession objSession(s_szAgent);
CHttpFile* pFile = (CHttpFile*)objSession.OpenURL(strURL, 1,INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_ASCII | INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD | INTERNET_FLAG_DONT_CACHE);

// If open succeeded, read the file.
if (pFile)
{
CString strLine;
while (pFile->ReadString(strLine))
{
str+=strLine.Trim();
str+="\n";
}
pFile->Close();
delete pFile;
}
}
catch (CInternetException* pEx)
{
pEx->ReportError();
pEx->Delete();
}

Now my question is:
Is there a simpler way of doing this? Is there a way to just access that javascript object as a whole rather than just reading in a file string by string?

put try...catch... in a loop

28-Dec-07 7:25

I guessing that, you talk about the ActiveX control usage. I have to been tried to ActiveX control to solve of the problem but I had no time to compile these codes:

 <br />
CString strResult;<br />
m_strResult = strResult;<br />
// TODO: Add your property handler here<br />
TCHAR* ch = strResult.GetBuffer(strResult.GetLenght());<br />
CStdioFile sf(("HTML1.html", CFile::ModeRead());<br />
while(sf.ReadString("strResulte"))<br />
{ <br />
	sprintf(string, "strResulte"); 	/* Read and write data object. */<br />
}<br />
CHttpFile* pFile;<br />
pFile->GetFileURL("c:\\Project\solution\res\html1.html");<br />
pFile->Open("\\res\html1.html", INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD | INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_ASCII , NULL);<br />
pFile->ReadString("strResulte"); /* "strResulte" is my JS data object to" */<br />
pFile->GetObject(&strResult);<br />
pFile->classCStdioFile.CreateObject(&sf);<br />
pFile->classCFile.IsDerivedFrom(CHTMLView*);	<br />
strResult.ReleaseBuffer();

Please, let me know if this idea can be helper.

I think you have to reformat your OP.
Use the escape sequence for the < operator (i.e. <).

Have you performed a test with and without the try/catch code to see the difference?

It works with sql server 2000.
But without the try...catch... the codes changed.
However, the try...catch... version is about 10% slow.
All because I insert strings to sql server 2000, and the string many contains singal quotation(s).
