I have been trying for a week now to create a window region for a CButton. The region is created from a bitmap and is not rectangular. I know the region is created ok because when i click the part of the bitmap that is not transparent i get the button clicked event. I do not recieve the event when clicking outside of the non-transparent area. My problem is that no matter what i do the DrawItem function which paints the bitmap always fills a full rectangle. This displays the transparent, and non-transparent part of the button. I have tried using SetClipRgn but that has not worked. This same code creates a regioned dialog and paints that correctly. Does it matter that my button is created dynamically? Why does a bitblt using the buttons Client Rect fill the whole rectangle and not just the region i specified?????

Thanks

You don't seem to be setting a clipping region to the pDC that you are bitblt'ing the memdc to. Could that be an issue? Also, you are drawing on the memdc before setting a clipping region with your FillSolidRect function.

Hi, I tried to read lines from rich edit control and display in the debug window with the following code. If I set i=1 in the for loop, this program won't crash and display every line other then the first line. However, when I set i=0 as below, it will crash and have memory leak problem. Can someone please tell me what's going on? Thank you.

int i, nLineLength, nLineCount;
CString strText;

nLineCount = m_redit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0;i < nLineCount ;i++)
{
nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(i);
m_redit.GetLine(i, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength));
TRACE (strText);
strText.ReleaseBuffer(nLineLength);
}

Read the documentation carefully. Note the requirement that the first word of the buffer must specify the maximum number of bytes that can be copied into the buffer. You need something like:

int i, nLineLength, nLineCount;
char szBuffer[64];

nLineCount = m_edit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0;i < nLineCount ;i++)
{
    nLineLength = m_edit.LineLength(i);

    m_edit.GetLine(i, szBuffer, nLineLength);

    szBuffer[nLineLength] = '\0';

    TRACE("%s\n", szBuffer);
}

int i, nLineLength, nLineCount;
char szBuffer[64];

nLineCount = m_edit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0;i < nLineCount ;i++)
{
    nLineLength = m_edit.LineLength(i);

    *((int *) szBuffer) = nLineLength;

    m_edit.GetLine(i, szBuffer);

    szBuffer[nLineLength] = '\0';

    TRACE("%s\n", szBuffer);
}

On line 0. If the for loop is start at line 1, it won't crash.

I haven't tried, but...

nLineCount = m_redit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0; i < nLineCount - 1; i++)
{
nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(i);
m_redit.GetLine(i, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength));
TRACE (strText);
strText.ReleaseBuffer(nLineLength);
}

Do this works?

I tried the following code with display line 0 only when nLineCount > 1. THe code still crash.

if (nLineCount > 1)
{
nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(0);
m_redit.GetLine(0, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength));
TRACE (strText);
strText.ReleaseBuffer(nLineLength);
}

The function LineLength will return the ONLY the number of characters for the given line not including the carriage-return character. According MSDN the function LineLength actually calls the message EM_LINELENGTH and in the MSDN this message states that It does not include the carriage-return character at the end of the line. Also you should account for the NULL character at the end of the string when assigning the length of the buffer.

This code works for me:

<code>	
int i, nLineLength, nLineCount;
CString strText;

nLineCount = m_redit.GetLineCount();

for (i=0;i < nLineCount ;i++)
{
     nLineLength = m_redit.LineLength(i); 
     //Add 2 to account for the CR and NULL character.
     int nActualCharactersReturned = m_redit.GetLine(i, strText.GetBuffer(nLineLength + 2)); 
     //Release the buffer with the actual # characters returned.
     strText.ReleaseBuffer(nActualCharactersReturned);
     TRACE (strText);
} 
</code>

How do you "auto-scale" data points on a graph?
the data will be received at a constant frequency.

I will be receiving data from a CAN/bluetooth gateway on a vehicle.

How do I go about graphing and receiving those data points and putting them on both a line and bar graph?

Thanks.

This is a very generic question, but I'll give it a try:

1. Separate the data from the viewing of the same data...
2. use dynamic memory assignment if you don't know the amount of data that you'll need.
3. think about how many history do you need to maintain.
4. create a control derived from a CStatic called CGraph.
5. Override the OnPaint function of that control in order to draw the axis, the captions and the labels.
6. Draw each point depending on a scale factor.
7. if the graph needs to be scrolled, think about a scrolling bar... (think about drawing the part needed ni order to avoid to collapse too much the CPU)

Hope this helps...

Allocating memory for a multidimensionnal array

Jerome Conus1-Jul-03 1:54

Jerome Conus

1-Jul-03 1:54

Hi !

I have a very basic question about C++ :

I want to allocate on the heap a two-dimensionnal array. I tried to do this :

int* pArray=new int[x][y];

but of course it didn't work, so I did that :

int* pArray=new int[x*y];

and each time I need to acces my array, I calculate the x/y position. It works, but still, I'm curious : is it possible to allocate memory in such a way that I can then use the usual notation for a multidimensionnal array : Array[x][y]=z.

Thank you for your help !
Jerome

int **pArray = new int*[x];
for(int i=0; i<x; i++)
   pArray[x] = new int[y];

This will let you use pArray[x][y] = z. To deallocate this array, do this:

for(int i=0; i<x; i++)
   delete [] pArray[x];
delete [] pArray;

Hope this helps,

Ryan
