how to draw line by dragging mouse inside rectangle in dialog based application in vc++,mfc
|

Handling mouse events end using graphic primitives, I suppose. What is your problem about?

the rectangle have top,left,width,height four parameters.
If the first point or the end, is more than width or height.
you can change the rectangle's width(height).Because is the max.

I'want to use VC6 ,to load some URL Image picture,and show it into the Picture Control of VC.
the Url like this one : http://passport.csdn.net/ShowExPwd.aspx.
Now I have no idea, who can help me please ?
Best Regards !

1/ The url you point to is not an image - it's a web page.
2/ Assuming you make a URL that actually points to an image, you could use:
InternetOpenUrl, InternetReadFile, etc.
That should give you some search terms to get started.
3/ Bear in mind that getting stuff from the internet is by its very nature flaky. Do this fetching in a seperate thread, have something to display while you're waiting, and make sure you handle failure very thoroughly.
Good luck!

Hi, i am trying to convert const wchar* to const byte*. but its not converting fully...can anyone help me out to solve this issue...
-------------------------------------
code snippet:
const WCHAR* test = L"hello";
const BYTE* test1 = (const BYTE*) test;
AfxMessageBox((CString)test1);
----------------------------------------------
thanks,
rakesh

 What are you trying to do in fact ? It seems you are a bit lost with the different character encoding, so I'm going to suggest this excellent article[^], you'll get a much better understanding after having read it.

Why do you need such a conversion?

i want to check whether its possible to do like that.. am learning vc++ now...that is why asked ..
if it is possible, pls enlighten me how to do that one..
thanks,

Carlo asked you what would you be doing with the const BYTE buffer after such a "conversion".

Your code performs the conversion (i.e. the cast) of the pointer, not of the string. In other words the string buffer remains unchanged, it is just interpreted diffently.
Since that maybe fine or maybe a plain catastrophe, I need to know what is the purpose of your 'conversion'.

Just noticed t hat we both have put that word in quotes. Fits the context perfectly. Subtly expressing something, ya know.

Are you aware of the fact that a BYTE is 8 bits and A WCHAR is 16 bits?

Hi Rajesh,
I am not aware of it...so does it mean that its not at all possible to convert??
|
|
|
|

Sure, you can reinterpret a pointer to a dialog as a pointer to a socket. It is possible to achieve that. But WHY?!
After such a conversion (assuming you did it), what will you want to be doing with the BYTE buffer?! Answer that.

Hi All,
I am actually learning vc++.. i just want to know whether it can be converted or not.. whether it is feasible or not..
my seniors have used a functions in which they have typecast like wat i have mentioned in the first message..they are sending type-cast parameter as an arugment to other functions..but it is not casting properly....its taking the first character alone..
if i say, const wchar* test = L"hello";
const BYTE* test1 = (const BYTE*)test; o/p will be 'h' alone..
Hence raised in this forum whether you people can enlighten me about this issue..
thanks,
rakesh.

If you do need to convert the wide char string into a char one, then use a conversion macro instead, for instance (assuming a ANSI build, like yours):
const wchar_t * wstrTest = L"Hello";
CW2A strTest( wstrTest );
AfxMessageBox( strTest);

I hope your seniors know what they are doing.

Hi, Actually i have made my character set as unicode and not as multibyte in the project settings.. so its not converting fully..
is there any way to do by keeping the current settings?
thanks,
rakesh.

Then use
const wchar_t * wstrTest = L"Hello";
CW2A strTest( wstrTest );
AfxMessageBox( (CString) strTest);

A BYTE is an 8 bit data type. A WCHAR is a 16 bit data type.
Now, you can cast a BYTE pointer to a WCHAR pointer or vice versa. However, since these data types are of different sizes, and if you cast an array of BYTES to an array of WCHARs, the conversion will succeed, but the resultant buffer will be unusable (the code "won't work"). In other words, you only casted the pointer.
You can call a horse a dog, but however, it won't bark. OK, I know. That's not a good example, but you get the drift.

I have a feeling that your seniors are not the brightest sparks for you to learn from. Or ask them to give you an explanation of what they're trying to achieve and ask them how such a "conversion" could make sense.

Simply casting an 8-bit type to a 16-bit type is not going to produce the expected result. Consider:
8 8 8 8 8
╓─╥─╥─╥─╥─╖
║H║e║l║l║o║
╙─╨─╨─╨─╨─╜
16 16 16 16 16
╓─┬─╥─┬─╥─┬─╥─┬─╥─┬─╖
║H│0║e│0║l│0║l│0║o│0║
╙─┴─╨─┴─╨─┴─╨─┴─╨─┴─╜ In the top figure, each character uses 1 byte or 8 bits. In the bottom figure, each character uses 2 byte or 16 bits. The second byte holds a \0 character. Casting will not magically add that character.

Nice illustration, David.
But the Unicode string in the figure seem to have been terminated by a single '0' character, whereas it should be 2 '0's.
