hello

I've developed a C++ client-server project using snorkel embedded web-server, in which the client submits some information to the server using a content-buffer containing form.
after the submitted information is processed, a QR code is generated and it is supposed to be displayed on the client-side

I was wondering how can I pop-up a window that displays the QR code image? is there some sort of C++ code that can do that???

or
how can a browser-window pop-up with the displayed image???

Regards.

Lots of browsers have pop-up blockers. I suggest displaying the bar code image inside the page. Have a place holder image in the page DOM (say a single pixel image) that you replace later with the generated bar code image.

If you want to display the image client side from native C++ (and not a browser), you have to create a window with a window message handler that handles the WM_CREATE, WM_PAINT, and WM_DESTROY window messages. There are many examples of this on CP.
