AFAIK even Cygwin uses Winsock library.

There are many network libraries out there. For instance, take a look at Boost Asio[^]

Don't you have to write your own communication interface between the TCP/IP stack and your software ? or something like that ?

Does it seem reasonable to load a 40-sec WAV to a 'static' DirectSound secondary buffer to play as my game background-music ?
If not, why not ?
The other option, AFAIK, is having 'streaming' buffer for that. Which will be more complicated programmatically.

Yes.
Maximum buffer size is 0x0FFFFFFF...40 seconds 0f 44.1kHz, 24-bit stereo
audio samples is around 10MB (if I did the math correctly ).
Should work fine.

Thanks.
So, my kitschy background music won't break the system after all... perhaps the people listening to it would...

Have you calculated something like this -
buffer size:
0X0FFFFFFF = 16^7 - 1 bytes = 268,435,455 bytes
WAV size:
40 sec * 3 bytes per sample (24-bit) * 44100 samples per second = 5,292,000 bytes

Yes, except I took a worse-case scenario (unless you use a higher sampling rate ) and chose
stereo, so I multiplied your WAV size by 2.

I'm developing an animated-game on Win32.
It runs only in windowed mode.
I'm creating my window with the styles WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_SYSMENU so that it has a blue frame, with a blue title on top, much like the window you have right now if you're a Windows user.
We decided we want to support users with 800X600 screen (is there any of those left?), by means we want the window to fit into a 800X600 screen. If I create the window in size 800X600, it won't fit, since the frame is not included in the 800X600 I specified, it will be like 810X625 or something like that.
The question is how do I know the exact size in pixels of the frame ? or what might be considered the maximal size so I could just do for example 740X550 window and it will always fit ?

Take a look at the SystemParametersInfo API function.

As i said, the entire size is more than 800X600, so how can it fit into 800X600 screen ? some parts will be 'out of the screen'.
I tried it now, don't look that horrible, actually.
Maybe we'll just say, If you got a 800X600, it's your own problem... (in the About dialog)

If you set 800x600 on CreateWindow, then the overall size of the window (including borders) will be 800x600.

I now realized thats correct. My Question should have actually been what should be the size of my background image so that it will fit.
So I guess I'll figure out what the dimensions of the border and I'll reduce the dimensions of the background image by that.
Thanks.

I've created a MFC project in Visual Studio 2008.
The manifest is correctly getting embed in the program if the configuration is Unicode otherwise, it will show an error like this (on changing the character set to Multibyte and build, (not rebuild) the soulution).
1>mt.exe : general error c101008a: Failed to save the updated manifest to the file ".\Debug\SampleProgram.exe.embed.manifest". The parameter is incorrect.
This error will resolve when I Rebuild the entire project but manifest is not embedding inside the executable

I do get same error during build but not always. Typically if I build (not rebuild) again it do not occur again. Well I don't have solution but just sharing my expereince.

The comctl32.dll version 6 supports only UNICODE version. If you open the stdafx.h you can find the switch as follows
#ifdef _UNICODE<br />
#if defined _M_IX86<br />
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")<br />
#elif defined _M_IA64<br />
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='ia64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")<br />
#elif defined _M_X64<br />
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='amd64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")<br />
#else<br />

Dear Naveen,
Thanks for your reply.
Naveen wrote: The comctl32.dll version 6 supports only UNICODE version
I just removed the #ifdef _UNICODE and #endif. and it's working fine. In a post of Raymond Chen, it's saying that Common Control 6 supports only UNICODE[^]. When I started using Windows XP, I enabled visual styles for existing applications by just putting "exe_name.exe.manifest" file in the same folder. I can't figure out how it's working it in a non-UNICODE build (even if Common Control 6 supports only Unicode).

I think untill you deal with message that handles strings, problem may not raise. Also if we subclass a control and handle messages that contains text, problem can arise. The comcomctl will be sending the text as wide char, but our program will interpret it as multibyte which can lead to undefined errors.

Hi Friends,
Windows Vista provides a slider control to resize icons ( thumbnails) in My Computer Explore view.
I need such resizing in my Windows XP application ( MFC ) application.
I create and delete the ImageList of current view as user resizes but overhead of creating and deleting is very high.
I need smooth resizing.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all!
I'm having a problem when compiling this code:
template<class t=""> inline CImage operator-(T value)<br />
{<br />
CImage tmpImage(CImagePtr(NULL));<br />
<br />
switch ( getDepth() )<br />
{<br />
case IMAGE_DEPTH_32F:<br />
SubtractFloat(getImage(),tmpImage.getImage(),value,false); <br />
break;<br />
default:<br />
SubtractInt(getImage(),tmpImage.getImage(),value,false);<br />
}<br />
return tmpImage;<br />
}<br />
<br />
inline CImage operator-(CImage& imageB)<br />
{<br />
CImage tmpImage(ImagePtr(NULL)); <br />
Subtract(getImage(),imageB.getImage(),tmpImage.getImage());<br />
return tmpImage;<br />
}<br />
</class>
SubstractFloat substracts one constant "value" (float) from a CImage. SubstractInt does the same with int type. And Substract substracts a CImage from a CImage.
I'm calling these functions as this way, for example:
CImage imResult;<br />
double minVal = 50;<br />
imResult = imResult-minVal;
This code was running and compiling without problems in VC++6.0. Now, in 7.0 the compiler is throwing me these errors:
error C2664: 'SubtractFloat' : cannot convert the parameter 3 from 'Icar::CImage' to 'float'<br />
error C2664: 'SubtractInt' : cannot convert the parameter 3 from 'Icar::CImage' to 'int'
If I force a cast to (double)value the compiler then says that there isn't an operator defined for double.
Thanx for your help. Every idea is welcome!
