Re: How can i copy raw image buffer to a dc? - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

I guess it depends on the raw image buffer format.

What is the solution for this problem?

As I've already pointed out, knowledge of the raw image data format maybe a good start.

I am not getting your point.I have a 800 x 600 x 4 RGBA raw image buffer.
I want to display this on current HDC.

My question is should i have to create a bitmap for this buffer and then should i use bltblit () function.

Curently i am able to display a bitmap on current HDC.

Please elaborate your idea in little details.

Thanks,

Yes.

Is there is any other alternative other than creating a bitmap?

Thanks,
Soumyadipta De

IMHO nope. But there are a lot of tutorials about.
Have a look at GDI articles here at CP.

Thanks for you help.But i am not understanding one thing that, if it's not possible to do this in any other way then what you are suggesting to find me in the GDI tutorials?

Is there any freeware tool to find out only GDI leaks in a project.
Can anyone tell me the occurances of GDI leaks.

Well you can use of Task Manager it displays GDI resources for each process.

Give leaktrap[^] a try.

Using Visual C++ 6.0 MFC in SDI application

I'm relatively new to C++ (from C). In an application using Visual C++ MFC, I setup a menu item. When that menu item is selected, my code calls the following routine that was setup by Visual C++

CMainFrame::ShowTheCircle()
{
// has my code here...

}

I want to perform this identical operation from another place in my code, which is in a separate .cpp file. I don't understand how to call the ShowTheCircle function from this other place.

void MyCode(void)
{
// call the ShowTheCircle function just as if the menu item was
// selected

// thanks for your help!

}

One way would be to make ShowTheCircle() a static method. Another would be to make it not part of the CMainFrame class.

"Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown

"To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals; to have deference for others governs our manners." - Laurence Sterne

void MyCode(void)
{
// call the ShowTheCircle function just as if the menu item was
// selected
   CMainFrame *pWndMainFrame = dynamic_cast<CMainFrame *>(AfxGetMainWnd());
   pWndMainFrame->ShowTheCircle();
// thanks for your help!

}

provided CMainFrame is the class for the main frame window of the application.

ShowTheCircle is a method of CMainFrame class, therefore to call it you must have a reference (or a pointer) to a CMainFrame object, for instance

CMainFrame * pMainFrame = (CMainFrame *) AfxGetMainWindow();
CMainFrame * pMainFrame = (CMainFrame *) AfxGetMainWnd();
pMainFrame->ShowTheCircle();

Note that ShowTheCircle must also be declared public.

BTW what about a good C++ tutorial?

Thanks to all for the help. The function in your reply should have been AfxGetMainWnd() and not AfxGetMainWindow() but I found things. Everything worked great!

You're welcome.

Of course. Fixed: thank you for pointing out.

hai,
what is the difference between bool and BOOL?

reply me..

bool vs BOOL[^]

bool is a C++ keyword, BOOL a Microsoft alias for int:

typedef int BOOL;

Any variable declared bool can assume only the following two values: true or false, moreover C++conditional expressions evaluates to a bool result (true or false). On the other hand, a BOOL variable is a fully qualified int and hence can assume any numeric value an int can (MSDN suggest: it should be either TRUE or FALSE).
