Hi Cerdic and Vunic,

While working with dlls, do we need to explicitly copy the .lib file along with the dll file in to the path of the exe?

if not, how it is going to be linked in the Project->Settings->Link ?

No, only your dll is needed in the folder of the exe once it has been compiled.

NiceNaiduif not, how it is going to be linked in the Project->Settings->Link

Yes, you have to specify that you link to this specific library in the settings of your project.

NiceNaiduHey Rage, Is it clear now ??

Quite, thank you.
Here we work with microcontroller, no windows stuff. We are using libs as well, and libs are really only a collection of .obj with a header and entry points for the linker (actually we also have a locator, this is the step you do not need with .dll).

I did not know about the fact that you can simply add a .lib to get direct access to the .dll.

Thanks to Cedric and Vunic as well.

lib is only required while linking(creating .exe) once it is linked even if u delete the lib the program will execute

Hi !!!

An .lib file is an static library. It can contain some .h or .cpp or .inl, ... files. It is a library, so it is no executable file. You can use it for build libraries, for example : STL, boost, ...

Hi,

On Windows Xp, there is a functionality that allows to copy the archives of an user. This functionality is had access through My Computer ( click of the right button of mouse ) -> Properties -> Advanced -> User Profiles -> Settings -> Copy to.

An example:

There is user called João. In the directory c:\documents and settings\João\ are the João user's files. I just want to copy them to another directory. This functionality, as i said, is had access by My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> User Profiles -> Settings -> Copy To, but i want do that by C++ programming.

I was thinking in something like a method of a WMI Class or the ShellExecute command.

I'm watting for help!!

gratiful!

~~This does not seem to be available on my windows XP.~~ Just found it, lost a bit of it during translation (my computer is in german).

Anyway, do you have an idea what it copies ? Is it only the directory under C:\Users ?

I think it's pretty obvious no ?

int Count = m_Username.GetLenght();

MSDN[^] are also very usefull.

Ensure that whenever u r using m_string.GetAt(iSomeIndex),
Check this condition iSomeIndex<= m_string.GetLength();
else u will get an assertion.

Problem with CListCtrl::InsertColumn

Hi,
I have problem with inserting image in the HeaderCtrl of CListCtrl..

I tried to insert a column a follows

InsertColumn( 0, "text", LVCFMT_LEFT, 100 );

soon after this statement I called the GetItem of the headerctrl as follows

HDITEM stHeaderItem = {0};
stHeaderItem.mask = HDI_IMAGE;
stHeaderItem.iImage = -1;
GetHeaderCtrl.GetItem( 0, &stHeaderItem );

Now I am getting the image index as 0.The expected result is -1( Since i haven't set any image).

Why this is happening?

iImage parameter is the Zero-based index of an image within the image list

Try Using this:

<br />
CImageList *ImgHeaders = new CImageList;	ImgHeaders->Create(Bitmap ID, 16, 3, RGB(255, 0, 255));<br />
// iterate through header items and attach the image list<br />
HDITEM hditem;<br />
CHeaderCtrl *headerCtrl;<br />
headerCtrl = new CHeaderCtrl();<br />
headerCtrl = m_pScanList.GetHeaderCtrl();<br />
headerCtrl->SetImageList(ImgHeaders);<br />
<br />
<br />
for (int i = 0; i < headerCtrl->GetItemCount(); i++)<br />
	{<br />
		hditem.mask = HDI_IMAGE | HDI_FORMAT;<br />
		headerCtrl->GetItem(i, &hditem);<br />
		hditem.fmt |=  HDF_IMAGE;<br />
		if (i == 0 )<br />
		     hditem.iImage = Image ID;<br />
		else<br />
		     hditem.iImage = Image ID;<br />
<br />
		headerCtrl->SetItem(i, &hditem);<br />
	}

What happens if I explicitly set the image number to 0 while inserting? By the above code I cannot distinguish them..isn’t it?

Clone(..., PixelFormat) function doesn't change PixelFormat of the image

Hi. Why the clone function doesn't change pixelformat when cloning the whole image?

When I have loaded bitmap that is 256x256 and has 8bpp, the new image that is written in bitmap2 object has still 8 bpp:

Bitmap * bitmap2 ;
bitmap2 = bitmap->Clone(0, 0, 256, 256, PixelFormat16bppRGB555 ) ;

But when I'll try to clone some part of it, lets say 255x256 or 256x255 the new PixelFormat of image saved in bitmap2 is 16bpp.

Why is that ?

How can I change the format of pixels not using Bitmap::ConvertFormat() function which is not included in GDI+ 1.0.
