Re: Looking for code to learn from. John R. Shaw28-Dec-05 16:52 John R. Shaw 28-Dec-05 16:52  Here is an idea for you! Get a copy of "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup. Recreate the code for the desktop calculator, by typing it in by hand (important). Once you have it working, figure out how to get it to work with a (Windows) GUI front end (may require some rewriting). I guarantee, by the time you have accomplished that, you will know a lot more about programming. I have an algibraic equation parser function that I wrote in C, 18-19 years ago (that still works today). I started with some code in a book, I rewote it, modified it completely, and expanded its capabilities. Then I created a caculator and a program for graphing algibraic equations. Well actualy, in those days, I had to create a DOS windowing interface first, since my goal was to write an equation graphing program to start with. When you are writing code for your self it can be fun, it only becomes dry (some times) when you have to do it for someone else. I stopped enjoying it as much when I could look at the problem and know the answer before I touched a keyboard (what fun is that?), after that it was just typing, and typing, and typing. To bad the computer could not just read my mind.;) As for the understanding what tools you have and how to use them, first understand the language at the console level. The majority of the tools available with VC6 are to simplify creating GUI applications and are MS Windows specific. Well that's enough, good luck. INTP Every thing is relative... Get flicker free image sam o neil28-Dec-05 4:26 sam o neil 28-Dec-05 4:26  I have loaded image using GDI funcs and ZOOMING in and out using stretchblt funcn with memory as source and window screen as destination. while zooming in i am invalidating the screen area with third param set as false and hence able to achieve flicker free image but how to do low flicker (if possible no flicker ) for zoom out. also please tell me if i can directly write on to the vdu buffer and freeze the client area until the write on buffer is complete Thankyou nothing is illegal until you are caught Re: Get flicker free image John R. Shaw28-Dec-05 17:05 John R. Shaw 28-Dec-05 17:05  There are articles at CP on flicker free drawing, and it is probably in the FAQ as well. Essentialy you need to override OnEraseBkgnd() so that it does not earase the background (causing flicker), then do all the drawing (including background if any) in the OnDraw() function. It actualy can be a little more complicated than that, so look at any code the displays bitmaps of thumb nails or allows you to edit an image (See CP articles).

Axter28-Dec-05 4:59 Axter 28-Dec-05 4:59  In your sGenDlg.cpp file, the leaktracker.h must be the LAST included header. If you include it before any other headers, you'll get compile errors, or runtime errors. This program was originally developed using VS 2003, and then ported to GNU, Borland, and VC++ 6.0. So it should definitely work on VS 2003. FYI: If it doesn't produce a log file, then either it was not compiled in DEBUG moder, or there were no memory leaks. Since you didn't get compile errors the first time, I must assume it was not compiled in DEBUG mode. If you don't see the following message when you compile, then the leak tracking code is not getting included. ************************************************************************************** Note: Including leaktracker implementation... DO NOT USE THIS BUILD FOR PRODUCTION!!! ************************************************************************************** If you wish to include the leak tracking code in the release version of your program you could do so by defining the following macro before including the header: #define DEBUG_VERSION_ Top ten member of C++ Expert Exchange. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Cplusplus -- modified at 10:59 Wednesday 28th December, 2005 Re: detecting memory leaks? 9ine28-Dec-05 23:47 9ine 28-Dec-05 23:47  No I'm not inclined to use it in release version, I'm sure I've got debug compiler option and I included it as you said: #include "stdafx.h" #include "sGen.h" #include "sGenDlg.h" #include ".\sgendlg.h" #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_NEW #endif #include "Lib\lib.h" #include "Lib\quantize.h" #include "LibST\scomplexity.h" // CsGenDlg dialog #include "leaktracker.h" CsGenDlg::CsGenDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CDialog(CsGenDlg::IDD, pParent) , m_freq(10) , m_sr(128) , m_len(30), data(0) , m_asize(2) , qt(0) { m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME); } All the same compiler errors again? it doesnt want to be compiled, I use VS2003.

In your above code, you have the following: #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_NEW #endif If you include the leaktracker.h file after the above line, that will cause the compile errors. I've updated the leaktracker.h file so that it does an #undef for new. #ifdef new #undef new #endif //new You can download the new version, or just add the above 3 lines in the leaktracker.h file around line 177 (right before the new operator). http://code.axter.com/leaktracker.h[^] FYI: If you're using MFC, also make sure to include the header after macros like IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE.
