I have an MFC Win32 client application that needs to generate PDF
files. The easiest way to do it is to have our customers purchase and
install Adobe Acrobat, and then our program will use the "Adobe PDF" printer
driver to output our text to PDF files.
From any application like Notepad, Word, Excel, using the Adobe PDF writer
works fine when I do File\Print, click "Print to File", uncheck the printer
property of downloading fonts to printer--my PDF file is created fine.
I need to do this from C++. The user is not going to use File\Print in our
app, we need to convert files as we go.
Something is not working in my code which I've pasted below. I'm using OpenPrinter
to open the "Adobe PDF" printer (return code is good), I call StartDocPrinter setting
my output file name to "D:\temp\test.pdf" and set the datatype either to RAW or NULL,
same result occurs: a test.pdf file is created, but it is pure text "this is a test"
instead of PDF content.
Anyone see what I am doing wrong? It appears to me that I need another code for
pDatatype. Or should I not be using these OS calls for a printer driver?
#include <winspool.h>
...
BOOL PrintStringDirect( LPCSTR Str, LPTSTR PrinterName, LPSTR DeviceName )
{
BOOL bRet = FALSE;
HANDLE hPrinter;
if ( OpenPrinter( PrinterName, &hPrinter, NULL ) )
{
DOC_INFO_1 doc_info = {0};
doc_info.pDocName = "Test Document";
doc_info.pOutputFile = DeviceName;
//doc_info.pDatatype = (LPTSTR) NULL;
doc_info.pDatatype = "raw";
DWORD jobid = StartDocPrinter( hPrinter, 1, (LPBYTE)&doc_info );
if ( jobid != 0 )
{
DWORD written;
DWORD dwNumBytes = lstrlen( Str );
WritePrinter( hPrinter, (void*) Str,
dwNumBytes, &written );
if ( written == dwNumBytes )
bRet = TRUE;
}
EndDocPrinter(hPrinter);
ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
}
return bRet;
}
PrintStringDirect("This is a test", "Adobe PDF", "D:\\temp\\test.pdf");

You should be creating the print job in exactly the same way as you would for a normal printer, but pass a filename through in the DOCINFO object so its written to a file instead.
If your doing this in MFC, this article of mine should be of help.

Hmmm...I thought I was already doing what you said here:
DOC_INFO_1 doc_info = {0};
doc_info.pDocName = "Test Document";
doc_info.pOutputFile = DeviceName;
//doc_info.pDatatype = (LPTSTR) NULL;
doc_info.pDatatype = "raw";
DWORD jobid = StartDocPrinter( hPrinter, 1, (LPBYTE)&doc_info );
where DeviceName = "D:\\Temp\\test.pdf"

Roger,
Never mind my previous question to you, now I know what you
mean. Use a CDC, output the data to a print driver using that,
set DOCINFO as you described. You are correct, I tried this
and it works.
Thanks very much for your reply and all the sample code.

In my program I'm using #import INPClnt.ocx"
and then using SMART pointers to create the object
i.e., INPCLNTLib::_DINPClntPtr inpc(__uuidof(_DINPClnt));
I have registered the OCX using regsvr32.
It is throwing exception saying "Class not Registered".
Could anyone help me out?

I am creating a CDHtmlDialog that is not going to be the size of the rendered HTML in all cases (i.e. it could be much larger than the HTML I am dynamically placing in it). I want to resize the dialog to be approximately the size of the rendered HTML.
I do have a control at the bottom of the dialog, and my thought is: if I could get the control's window position, I could resize the dialog accordingly. Unfortunately, I haven't the foggiest of how to do this.
Any ideas?

I want to have a recordset with bi-directional scrolling,
but when I connected to my database like following:
>CString strConnection=_T("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=module.mdb");
>if(m_db.Open(strConnection))
>{
> m_rec=CADORecordset(&m_db);
> if(m_rec.Open(_T("main"), CADORecordset::openTable))
> MessageBox("Table 'main' is opened  ");
>}
following operation:
>m_rec.MoveFirst();
has no effect(does not works).
But using class CRecordset it works:
>m_rec.Open("SELECT * FROM main", CRecordset::dynaset);
What a mistake I made using CADORecordset?
Thanks in advance,
bilas.

NO, I mean exactly CADORecordset. This class I've found on this site.

OK, sorry, it's not a class I'm familiar with then.

Hello
I've been having a problem (using vs6 on xp).
I use winsock (both 2.2 and 1.1 the same problem).
When i send from a client to a server a message it is printed ok.
However ,when i reply from the server to the client i get some kind of
unclear gibrish.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Yep you are right! But I don't have an answer.
I send a DELE command to a sntp server and it sends back junk.
I have notified the Apache Foundation about it and they have a open issue.
Please let me know if you find a answer.
Best Wishes and Happy Holiday's,

I have the same problem.
I have an idea but I am trying to implement it.
create an array of pointers to clientsocket in the serversocket.
when a client connects in OnAccept create a clientsocket dynamically and add its pointer to array.
now when serversocket.clients[i].Send(...);
 oops it is not working
i have a question here
do we have to make client listen to server also.
if u get it right please, send as attachment to my email

can anybody please give me the list of
STATPROPSTG.propid
for example, PIDSI_SUBJECT, PIDSI_KEYWORDS, PIDSI_TITLE and so on..
I only know some of them but not all.
and is there any different
thanks you

Try these:
{"Title", PIDSI_TITLE}, // VT_LPSTR
{"Subject", PIDSI_SUBJECT}, // ...
{"Author", PIDSI_AUTHOR},
{"Keywords", PIDSI_KEYWORDS},
{"Comments", PIDSI_COMMENTS},
{"Template", PIDSI_TEMPLATE},
{"LastAuthor", PIDSI_LASTAUTHOR},
{"Revision Number", PIDSI_REVNUMBER},
{"Edit Time", PIDSI_EDITTIME}, // VT_FILENAME (UTC)
{"Last printed", PIDSI_LASTPRINTED}, // ...
{"Last Saved", PIDSI_LASTSAVE_DTM},
{"Page Count", PIDSI_PAGECOUNT}, // VT_I4
{"Word Count", PIDSI_WORDCOUNT}, // ...
{"Char Count", PIDSI_CHARCOUNT},
{"Thumpnail", PIDSI_THUMBNAIL}, // VT_CF
{"AppName", PIDSI_APPNAME}, // VT_LPSTR
{"Doc Security", PIDSI_DOC_SECURITY}, // VT_I4

Hi,
I'm writing a utility application which needs to send and receive messages to/from a plugin I've written for another application, but I'm not sure where to start looking...
The plugin is developed using an architecture derived from COM (apparently) and I've got this up and running and talking to its host app just fine. My own utility application is also up and running and working fine. Now I need to send messages back and forth between the two.
I don't think I can use custom Window messages as the plugin doesn't have a window it just runs inside the host app. I'm investigating network related stuff but I'm guessing this is overcomplicating things.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Simon

If they are on the same machine, look up WM_COPYDATA in MSDN.

You can also post messages to a thread[^].
But if you're using COM, shouldn't you be using events?

You need to implement the connnection point in your com.

screw COM, it's for VB programmers 
There are multiple options you have. You could try the following...
- Use sockets. CSocket kicks butt for simple communication and free of charge you also them communcating on different machines.
- Create a dummy window and try using a registered windows message (RegisterWindowMessage in MSDN).
- Use pipes. Never done this myself but its another form of process communcation.
- If you really want to pass a lot of data and want it to be very speedy but at the same time a bit of a management nightmare try creating some shared memory between the applications.

Guys,
Thanks to all of you for going to the trouble of answering my plea. CodeProject rules!
I plan to start investigating CSocket first as the next stage of development is a multi-machine version of the app anyway - GeMe you just saved me from another embarrassing post!
Thanks for all your great feedback though.

Does anyone know how to make a cube with a circular hole (Cylinder) across it?
Thanks
|
|
|
|

You can build "faces" with holes by using tesellators...
The code looks something like this:
GLUtesselator* pTess1 = gluNewTess();
glNewList(m_nIdDisplayList, GL_COMPILE);
gluTessCallback(pTess1, GLU_TESS_BEGIN, (void (CALLBACK *)()) glBegin);
gluTessCallback(pTess1, GLU_TESS_END, (void (CALLBACK *)()) glEnd);
gluTessCallback(pTess1, GLU_TESS_VERTEX, (void (CALLBACK *)()) glu_vertex);
gluTessCallback(pTess1, GLU_TESS_ERROR, (void (CALLBACK *)())tess_error_callback );
glNormal3f(0.f, 0.f, -1.f);
gluTessBeginPolygon(pTess1, NULL);
// Outer loop
gluTessBeginContour(pTess1);
gluTessVertex(pTess1,...);
gluTessEndContour(pTess1);
// Inner loops
gluTessBeginContour(pTess1);
gluTessVertex(pTess1, ...);
gluTessEndContour(pTess1);
...
gluTessEndPolygon(pTess1);
