Do we have any good effective WIN32 API which can tell whether my application is running on a system with a color v/s monochrome monitor attached.
A sample code snippet will be helpful.
Am using the following sample and apparently its not giving correct results always.
bool bColorMonitor = false;
// Get the display information
DEVMODE devmode;
if (::EnumDisplaySettings(NULL, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &devmode))
{
//If dmDisplayFlags is set to zero then monitor is colored otherwise GrayScaled.
bColorMonitor = !(0x01 & devmode.dmDisplayFlags);
}
else
{
dirTrace.Error(_T("EnumDisplaySettings() failed"));
}

Hello,
I need to draw 1 line and 1 bar chart on 1 plot.
I can't find a way how to do that.
I tried the following:
<br />
1 - VtChChartType2dBar<br />
3 - VtChChartType2dLine <br />
<br />
MSChart1.SetColumnCount(2);<br />
MSChart1.SetColumn(1);<br />
MSChart1.SetChartType(1);<br />
...<br />
<br />
MSChart1.SetColumn(2);<br />
MSChart1.SetChartType(3); <br />
Didn't work, it affects both series. So, both of them become lines.
I also tried this:
<br />
1 - VtChSeriesType2dBar<br />
6 - VtChSeriesType2dLine <br />
<br />
MSChart1.SetColumnCount(2);<br />
MSChart1.SetColumn(1);<br />
MSChart1.SetSeriesColumn(1);<br />
MSChart1.SetSeriesType(1);<br />
MSChart1.GetPlot().GetSeriesCollection().GetItem(1).SetSeriesType(1);<br />
...<br />
<br />
MSChart1.SetColumn(2);<br />
MSChart1.SetSeriesColumn(2);<br />
MSChart1.SetSeriesType(6);<br />
MSChart1.GetPlot().GetSeriesCollection().GetItem(2).SetSeriesType(6); <br />
No effect at all. Did I miss something or it's not possible at all?
I apprciate your help.
Regards,
Martin.

I have been exploring MSChart for sometime now and I have never come across the ability to have some of the chart bar and some of the chart line. I don’t think it is possible at all.
Let me know if you find differently....

I am an avid Visual Basic programmer and I would like to know what the advantages of using Visual C++/MFC are over Visual Basic.
For what kinds of scenarios can you not use Visual Basic?

The performance of a program in C++ code is better than in VB.
The API of Platform SDK is in C.
Visual BASIC code is sort of managed one, not able to do too much lower level tasks.
Etc ...

Individual Opinion:
Visual Basic is very weak compared to VC++ in terms of functionality and interaction with the hardware. Here are a few things you can't do in VB.
Pointers = NO(C++ has this), Run on Linux/Unix = NO(C++ Runs), Talk to Hardware = NO(C++ is very rich with hardware interaction).
But if you are to create simple windows application and you need to do it fast, use VB otherwise VC++.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

is there a function that I can use on CString that's the same as sscanf?
I tried to:
int numArgs;
CString userInput("device, cmd, in1, in2");
CString device, cmd, input1, input2;
numArgs = sscanf(userInput,"%s %s %s %s", &device, &cmd, &input1, &input2);
i could have sworn this was possible but i get:
c:\...cpp(73) : error C2664: 'sscanf' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'const char *'
No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
thanks,

Hmmm.. _stscanf() would probably be a better idea..?

Pros: you can support more languages, runs faster on NT and upwards (native strings are unicode)
Cons: Strings are represented using 16 bit characters - eats up twice as much memory as ordinary ascii strings, requires conversions back and forth if you need to read/write text files from/to other (non-unicode) apps, runs slower on win9x (you need the unicode layer).

This CDialog is launched from a dll called by another app. After the app is done I hide it, and the dialog stays up. Now if some other windows happen to obscure this CDialog, there is no icon in the task bar with which I can bring it up again. I have to minimize the windows that obscured it and then I can see it again. I gave the CDialog minimize/maximize buttons (though that would fix it). Any way to get around this?
thanks,
sb

Hi
I need to hide some windows using ShowWindow API using 0x0 flag. Then I should show them again. But the problem is that I when I set the flag to show windows, I should set it to SW_MINIMIZE, SW_NORMAL, SW_MAXIMIZE but this causes all the windows to show in the i.e. NORMAL mode, since when I did hide them, some where Maximized and some Minimized...
What I need is to show them in the window state that they were before hiding.
Thanks

Why are you not using SW_HIDE?
MohammadAmiry wrote: But the problem is

How do you propose to set a window to both minimized and maximized?

Use IsIconic() and IsZoomed().

ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
should do.

Dear all,
I'm using some GDI+ functions in my project. Is there any way to let my program start peacefully if file gdiplus.dll is not available (of course, some functionalities should be disabled)?
By other words, I want to load this dll dynamically. If file gdiplus.dll is unavailable, some functionalities will be disabled and the program should start normally.
Thanks in advance.

Refer to LoadLibrary as mentioned in this article[^].

Do you know any articles explicitly written about using GDI+ dynamically?

With or without GDI+, your app should start peacefully.
You probably don't want to load GDI+ dynamically, as GDI+ (like GDI) is pretty much a programming model. Although you may mix GDI with GDI+ to some extent, people usually avoid doing so. Unless there is some absolute reason that you have to mix them together, a good practice is to load GDI+ statically. This way it won't create any complexity to your app.

That's quite a statement to make. Do you think you just made that up? Maybe?

If you think people should mix GDI and GDI+ in their design, make an argument why you think so. I've used both a lot and it's certainly debatable.
