Challenging question for AVI Reading experts

With same code and same AVI file, the intensity value read are different on different machine.
On some machine black area is read as 0 and on some machine it is read as non zero value (viz. 4, 5, 7 etc)
Both the machines uses Main Concept MJPEG codec for reading of AVI files.

Below is code snippet used to open the AVI file

HRESULT hResult = 0;
AVIFileInit() ;

hResult = AVIFileOpen( &m_AviFile, m_strAVIFileName, OF_READ, NULL ) ;
if(hResult != 0)
{
	TRACE( _T("AVIFileOpen() Error!!\n") ) ;
}

hResult = AVIFileGetStream(m_AviFile, &m_Stream, streamtypeVIDEO, 0);
if(hResult != 0)
{
	TRACE( _T("AVIFileGetStream() Error!!\n"));
}

AVIStreamAddRef(m_Stream );

hResult = AVIStreamInfo(m_Stream, &m_StreamInfo, sizeof(AVISTREAMINFO));
if(hResult != 0)
{
	TRACE( _T("AVIStreamInfo() Error!!\n") ) ;
}

m_nEndFrame = (short)((AVIStreamEnd( m_Stream )) - 1) ;

long nLength = AVIStreamLength(m_Stream);

long lSize;
hResult = AVIStreamReadFormat(m_Stream, 0, NULL, &lSize);

m_pBitmapInfoHeader = (BITMAPINFOHEADER*)GlobalAllocPtr(GHND, lSize);

hResult = AVIStreamReadFormat(m_Stream, 0, (LPVOID)m_pBitmapInfoHeader, &lSize);

if(m_pBitmapInfoHeader->biBitCount == 16)
{
	m_pBitmapInfoHeader->biBitCount = 24;
}
m_pBitmapInfoHeader->biCompression = BI_RGB;
m_pBitmapInfoHeader->biSizeImage   = (DWORD)m_StreamInfo.dwSampleSize;

m_pBitmapInfoHeader->biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
m_GetFrame = AVIStreamGetFrameOpen( m_Stream,m_pBitmapInfoHeader);

Below function is used to retrieve the starting address for particular Frame

BYTE* GetFrameAVI(UINT nFrameNumber)
{
	return (BYTE*)AVIStreamGetFrame(m_GetFrame,nFrameNumber);
}

Starting address of bit data is calculated as follows

BYTE* GetBitAddress( BYTE* pDIB ) 
{
	TRY
	{
		if ( pDIB == NULL )
		{
			return NULL ;
		}

		WORD wBitCount = ((BITMAPINFOHEADER*)pDIB)->biBitCount ;

		DWORD dwNumColors = 0 ;
		if ( wBitCount != 24 )
		{
			dwNumColors = ((BITMAPINFOHEADER*)pDIB)->biClrUsed ;
			if ( dwNumColors == 0 )
			{
				switch ( wBitCount )
				{
					// PixelBitMonochrome
				case 1 :
					dwNumColors = 2 ;
					break;

					// PixelBit16Color
				case 4 :
					dwNumColors  = 16 ;
					break;

					// PixelBit256Color
				case 8 :
					dwNumColors = 256 ;
					break;
				default:
					dwNumColors = 0;
					break;
				}
			}
		}

		DWORD dwColorTableSize = (dwNumColors * sizeof( RGBQUAD )) ;

		DWORD dSize = 0;
		dSize = ((BITMAPINFOHEADER*)pDIB)->biSize ;

		return ((BYTE*)pDIB + dSize + dwColorTableSize) ;
	}
	CATCH (CException, pEx)
	{
		return NULL;
	}
	END_CATCH
}

What is the possible reasons for intensity being read differently?
(Does it had something to do with the Luminance from HSL?)
In case you need sample application, do let me know, so that I can mail the same.

Overflow in LPtoDP function

Hi,
while using the function LPtoDP i am getting the error "Arithmetic result exceeded 32 bits".
I am not able the find the root cause of the problem. I am using x = 1000 in SetViewportExt and
x = 500 * (some dynamic value) in SetWindowExt. Is it Ok if i reduce x = 100 in SetViewportExt and x = 50 * (some dynamic value) in SetWindowExt.

Certainly it is, but that does not necessarily solve your problem; in my own experience LPtoDP works fine.

The first thing you should be doing is to use your debugger to find out why the overflow is occurring and fix that problem. Then you can decide whether you need to reduce or possibly increase some of your parameter values.

Thanks for replying.
Actually this error occured only twice and i am not able to reproduce it.
I have the following traces
Conversion from LPtoDP failed.

>::LPtoDP(dc.GetSafeHdc(), points, noPoints);

noPoints = 2.
ViewportExt.cx: 1000
ViewportExt.cy: 616
ViewportOrg.x: 0
ViewportOrg.y: 0
WindowExt.cx: 500
WindowExt.cy: 1000
WindowOrg.x: 68207250
WindowOrg.y: 0
points[0]: x = 68207250 y = 0
points[1]: x = 68207742 y = 1000.

But i am not able to find out which parameter value is exceeding.

Your x values do indeed seem rather large, and it may be that when converting to the device co-ordinates you have exceeded the limit of 27 bits. For example if your mapping is 2 device points to 1 logical, then your x value in device co-ordinates will immediately overflow into 28 bits.

Hi,
You are correct the x value is the root cause of the problem but i can't avoid this value. Is there any way to avoid overflow by doing some changes.

Simple mathematics would suggest that the only way to improve this situation is to find a way of ensuring that the x-value is within a reasonable range. The rules are the rules I am afraid.

How to use " CMFCPropertyGridProperty "to have a button

stevenyes18-Oct-10 5:42

I want to use class CMFCPropertyGridProperty to add a button,and when i click the button,it can pop a dialog which
i defined it by myself.
it trobuled me a long time.

when i see the information online,it told me that i can use CMFCPropertyGridProperty::hasbutton method,but it's a protect member,and i am new do this,i really don't know how to do it.

help me...
thanks a lot

As a minimum you create a new class that inherits from the base class. Then you can override the HasButton method and get it to return true.

Now you will get a small … button when you use this new class for your property. If you look at the MFC source code you will see that you can also override OnButtonClick to detect when the button is clicked.

This is as much as I have found out so far.

On the Origin of CTabCtrlEx used in Tabbed Dialogs

Hello,

this is a bit of a strange question: I have a CTabCtrlEx class
that was passed to me for doing tabbed dialog forms: in substance
it is a class that allows dialogs to be inscribed inside a
tabbed control. It is probably a well known class but I cannot find
the origin of it (maybe Jeff Prosise's, but I don't know for certain).
Hence the question is, do you know any reference to this class in
the literature ?

I attach here the class itself

No idea who's been throwing the 1 votes around here so have a 5 in consolation - I'd personally love to be able to try fitnesse with C++ development but being a lazy sod I've never given it a go as the docs for fitcpp were pretty dire 5 years ago. If you do find out how to install it please drop a link or describe the process here. Even if you can't get it going then the likes of me would still be interested in what's gone wrong.

Cheers,

PS: You've probably seen this already, but Alan Griffiths wrote an article on fitcpp back in 2004 for the ACCU[^]. It's crap at what you need to do to install fitcpp but goes into some detail about how to write tests and fixtures afterwards.
