Nah it's a wrapper for a DIBSection, using GDI+ for loading and saving Smile | :)

well, I probably shouldn't have used the word wrapper as I meant it uses GDI+ internally. I didn't mean to make it sound all inclusive.

The OP not wanting to use GDI+ was the purpose of my original response as you pointed out in your other post (in this thread). I glad somebody knew what I meant. Wink | ;)

Heh it doesn't matter - the whole topic is kind of
tongue-in-cheek for me anyway - I never get why people will use
Windows APIs but won't use GDI+....seems kind of silly Smile | :)

You can link with the PNG library to read/write PNG files. The source code is located on the website.

Hi friends ...i have small doubt with my project..in this code is not created the serial numbers in file ...how to generate it ?
i am used only CFile ..i am not using CStdioFile etc...plz i need ur help...!!!

CFile Lfile("path of the file name", CFile::modeReadWrite);
CString big_string,b_Temp;
CStringArray big_Array;
int isize=0;
int iver=0;
while(Lfile.GetLength())
{
b_Temp=big_string;
big_string.Format(_T("%d. %s"),iver+1,b_Temp);
big_Array.Add(big_string);
++iver;
}
Lfile.SeekToBegin();
for(int i=1;i<=big_Array.GetSize();++i)
{
b_Temp=big_string;
b_Temp.Format("%s\n",big_Array.GetAt(i-1));
Lfile.Write("",b_Temp.GetLength());
}

Thanks!!

Wow, did you even read the documentation of the Write function ? You pass an empty string ("") to be written in the file and then you specify that its size is b_Temp.GetLength() (meaning that's the number of bytes that needs to be written in the file).
Common, don't you think it's about time you look at the documentation and try to understand it before guessing what the different functions might be doing ? It's been one week you are working on this problem.

Okay, I'll give you some hints so that you can understand what's wrong with your code. But you really need to learn to use documentation efficiently.

And please, when you post code, use the formatting tags. And read the posting guidelines at the top of this forum.
BTW, you would confuse much less people if you use the word "line number" instead of "serial number". Well I suppose that's what you want to do ? Add a line number in front of each line in the file ? It took me quite a lot of time to understand it...

So, here we go:

<blockquote class="FQ"><div class="FQA">raju.k wrote:</div>CFile Lfile("path of the file name", CFile::modeReadWrite);</blockquote>

I suppose this is pseudo code and that you actually pass the correct file path ?

raju.k wrote:
while(Lfile.GetLength())

So, here you have basically in infinite loop because the size of your file will never decrease.

raju.k wrote:
b_Temp=big_string;
big_string.Format(_T("%d. %s"),iver+1,b_Temp);
big_Array.Add(big_string);
++iver;

You never actually read something from your file so, your strings won't contain anything usefull (only the previous values that you have put in).

raju.k wrote:
b_Temp=big_string;
b_Temp.Format("%s\n",big_Array.GetAt(i-1));

This is not needed because you can directly use the string in the array instead of using yet another one. And the first line doesn't have any purpose neither.

raju.k wrote:
Lfile.Write("",b_Temp.GetLength());

This problem has already been discussed in the previous posts: you write an empty string to your file but you still write some garbage characters.

Did you stop to wonder why?

If you went to pour the contents of an empty cup into the sink, would you then wonder why the sink remained dry?

DLL rebase

Hello everyone,

I want to learn what DLL rebase is, currently I am reading, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810432.aspx, but find the theory part is too brief and I can not understand,

1. Why we need rebase;
2. When we need rebase;
3. How do the rebase;
4. Performance impact.

Any other documents to refer? From MSDN, this is the only one I found.

thanks in advance,
George

There are two ways to import a function from a DLL:
- By name.
- By ordinal.

When you import by ordinal the importing module refers to the function by index and not by name.

Good link and I read through it about how to use .DEF to make export by ordinal. But how to use (import) function by ordinal?

I have not found any materials covering it. Any ideas?

Nothing special needs to be done. Here's the def file of my DLL:

LIBRARY Dll.dll
 
EXPORTS
 Exported @ 1 NONAME

Here's the DLL's header file which I include in the EXE and DLL.

// Dll.h
 
#ifndef __DLL_H__INCLUDED__
#define __DLL_H__INCLUDED__
 
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif // __cplusplus
 
void __stdcall Exported();
 
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif // __cplusplus
 
#endif // !__DLL_H__INCLUDED__

In the EXE I link to the DLL's import library and call the function by name:

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
 	Exported();
 
	return 0;
}

If you look at the EXE using Depends (or some other utility offering similar functionality) you'll see no function name is ever mentioned. The name information is in the DLL's import library so the linker can resolve it but it doesn't make it into the EXE or DLL.

Thanks Steve,

I have read your reply and sample again. Looks like from client (EXE which consumes the DLL) point of view, there is no differences for developer, still

1. invoke function by name;
2. link with import library.

From DLL developer's point of view, we only need to generate a .DEF file, right? This is the only difference?

George

Hi Steve,

I am confused. Static linking? Static linking has nothing to do with DLL, just build a statuc lib and link with it. Also has nothing to do with refer by name or by ordinal.

There are two ways to use functions in a DLL:
1. Link to the import library of the DLL and the OS takes case of all the details. This is called static linking and is what the examples I've shown have been doing.
2. Link dynamically using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress.

Thanks for your help, Steve!

I will try by myself how to use refer by ordinal technique. I think I only need to add a .DEF file to the DLL project and no need to change anything else in EXE project and DLL project.

George
