Have you tried including string (instead of string.h) instead?

Unicode Strings

Hi,

My C++ program (VS2005) has two parts. one part writes into a file and the other part reads from it.
The folder name is japanese. eg: C:\Documents and Settings\管理者
To read the file in this location,I am supposed to use an API (third party library) which takes the file location as a char*. I have the file location(C:\Documents and Settings\管理者) in a CString.

How do I convert this into a char* ?

I tried using the T2A macros, but the japanese string is not getting extracted. the char* pointer shows some junk charaters.

Any inputs on this ?

Thanks in advance.

It's better to seek the help of 3rd party library to provide Unicode interfaces. Other workarounds like renaming to ASCII and restoring it back after use will be painful.

I m not sure but check if this helps you,

CString buf = _T("salut"); //the first string
char * Result; //the result
long len = wcslen (buf); //the length of "salut"
wcstombs (Result,buf,len); //conversion to char *
Result[len] = '\0';

How to append text in word document caption?

Hi,
I would like to add some text in the cation of document. e.g. If I have a Test.doc then the caption for this document is Test.doc but I want to add some more text to it like "Mydoc" so the caption will become "Test.doc Mydoc". I know we need to change some registery entries but I want to change it for all office documents. Actually I m changing the extension of these documents as Test.gdoc so for all office docs with extension it should attach this caption.
Pls let me know that how could we achieve this.

Thanks

Using MFC? Override CFrameWnd::OnUpdateFrameTitle.

Here's the implementation I used to add a 'document is modified' marker:

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle(BOOL bAddToTitle)
{
   if ((GetStyle() & FWS_ADDTOTITLE) == 0)
      return;     // leave it alone!

   CDocument* pDocument = GetActiveDocument();
   if (bAddToTitle && pDocument != NULL)
      UpdateFrameTitleForDocument(pDocument->GetTitle() + (pDocument->IsModified()?"*":""));
   else
      UpdateFrameTitleForDocument(NULL);
}

THanks for your reply but i need this for Winword document. Once we open any document (Test.doc), it will show its name at top left but I want to append my string to the cation of it "Test.doc (MyDoc)".
Do you have any idea how to do it?

Hmmm - so how is that appropriate for a C++/MFC forum?

Anyway - the Word object model has 'Caption' properties for the Application and Window objects, but not for Document objects. I'd suggest you open the VBA IDE for Word and look through the Word object model with the object browser, to see if anything looks like it could be the property you need.

Hi,
I had found many samples in socket programming. But all it deal with
simple text transfer between sockets. But I have to send CStringArray from server
to client. Anybody can help me?

Thanks in Advance

In the socket layer everything is considered as a stream of bytes.
Whatever you want to send or receive through sockets has to be converted to a stream of bytes.
Socket do not understand objects, don't differentiate between ASCII, UNICODE, BINARY etc.

It looks like you need more help on dealing with CStringArrays than with sockets.

Clipboard color DIB to 8 bit greyscale for processing

Tom Hubin2-Feb-09 20:38

Hello,

I am new to this forum so please point me in the right direction if I am posting incorrectly.

I have an application that uses Video For Windows for capturing Webcam images. I have only found two ways to get to the image. One is to save a DIB to a file and the other is to save a DIB to the clipboard. Saving to the clipboard seems to work ok. I was able to test by pasting it in MS Paint.

Below are the essential lines of source. I have removed the error checking for clarity. I have verified that hDIB is nonzero. I have been reading for way too many hours and not getting it.

thubin@earthlink.net

capGrabFrame ( hwndVideo ) ; // snapshot one frame

capEditCopy ( hwndVideo ) ; // save DIB to clipboard

OpenClipboard(NULL) ; // open the clipboard

HANDLE hDIB = GetClipboardData(CF_DIB) ; // get handle to DIB

// todo: fetch DIB from clipboard

CloseClipboard() ; // finished with clipboard

// todo: convert DIB to 8 bit grayscale

I can think of a couple of posting errors (neither shooting offences!) - it's unusual to post your email, as replies to your posting get sent to you.

And secondly, what is your actual question?

The article should help but I have not yet gotten it working. However, I have learned a bit more about capGrabFrame and the capture window. So, let me try a different question.

I want to grab a 640x480 camera image and display it as 320x240 while keeping the 640x480 bitmap for image processing.

I would prefer not to use the clipboard since it is possible for some other application to alter the clipboard before I read it. Am I wrong about that assumption?

I just found capPreviewScale(hwnd,TRUE) which setup the window to automatically scale the image to fill the window.

So my only question just now is how to get to the captured bitmap.

Any suggestions on how to fetch a 640x480 capture window bitmap for image analysis without using the clipboard?

As an alternative (I have no idea if a 64 bits version is available), you can have a look at my sig. I developped a charting control and it could maybe be a replacement for the MSChart.
