When you create a DC via CreateCompatibleDC it does not have a usable drawing surface (memory) associated with it. You have to use SelectObject to select a bitmap drawing surface into it. And be sure to restore the DC back to it's original state before deleting it.

hdcSrc.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);
CBitmap TempBitmap;
TempBitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdcDst, image->Width(), image->Height());
CBitmap *pOldBitmap = (CBitmap *)hdcSrc.SelectObject(&TempBitmap);
image->Draw(hdcSrc.GetSafeHdc());
...
hdcSrc.SelectObject(pOldBitmap); // restore old bitmap

Synchronization with CTypedPtrArray

Do I have to synchronize access to a CTypedPtrArray which is used from two different threads? Or can I just add items in one thread and delete items in the other? How can that by synchronized the easiest way. Thanks in advance for your help

You may want to use a CCriticalSection to achieve synchronization.

Selecting last line of text in my View class

7-Jan-05 6:59

I want to be able to, on a command, select the LAST line of text in my ViewEdit class and cut it or clear it. I have been working with
GetEditCtrl().SetSel(LineBeginning, LineEnd);
GetEditCtrl().Cut();

I am having a lot of difficulty in getting this to work correctly.
The problem I am having is selecting the last line, finding linebegining and line end.

Is there an easier way to clear or cut the last line of text?

Thanks
John

Curious about the file sort order

LiYS7-Jan-05 5:46

Hi all:
Recently I've finished the coding of a tiny function which is to specify the files(Mp3s) order (by which the one appear first can be played first in the Mp3 player, this order depending on the result of DOS command "dir").

I'm not familiar with file system, after a little research, I found that the order in which you copying file to the destination folder(Mp3 Player Destination drive) is the order that the mp3 will played. So I implemented the code according to this principle. I was excited to found I really can control which mp3 should be played first. But after a little testing I found that this principle is not running stable, It will out of order once in a while.

Finally I decided to turn to another alternative which is FDT(File Directory Table). I heard from some guys that FDT can decide the file order either but much at low level.I wish I could write to the FDT of each file such that to achieve the objective. Can anybody provide the principle of writing to FDT or totally different method to affected the file order?
really appreciated ！！！ Big Grin | :-D

You can set up a printer driver that will print to FILE and configure the print processor to use EMF format. Once this is configured, simply print the PDF to this "printer".

Implementing a static function for utility class

Anonymous7-Jan-05 4:08

Hi!

I have written a custom messagebox class which is based on CDialog. When I want to call it I have to create a variable of the class type and then call the CDialog::DoModal() function like this:

CMyMsgBox myMsgBox(strTitle, strMsg, MB_YESNO | MB_ICONQUESTION;
myMsgBox.DoModal();

How must I write a static function that I can then call and do the same thing in one line call?

For example:

CMyMsgBox(strTitle, strMsg, MB_YESNO | MB_ICONQUESTION;

Thanks

no need to call a static variable, just create a global free function ( or part of a namespace )

for example :

::MyMessageBox( ... );

int MyMessageBox(...)
{
  CMyMsgBox myMsgBox(strTitle, strMsg, MB_YESNO | MB_ICONQUESTION;
  return myMsgBox.DoModal();
}

virtual drive for winXP

Hi,

i want to code something like this: on my hard drive is a file. and in my windows explorer i have a virtual drive which can be used like any other drive too, but it is using the file on my hard drive to read and save data on it. i want to do that because i can write some encryption code on the read and write functions to make my data protected.

I dont think that there is freeware out there doing exactly that. So i need a hint on how to get started with writing a driver for winXP which gives me a new virtual drive. I know that this must work because "Daemon-Tools" also make virtual CD-ROM-Drives.
Hope for any tutorials. thx

It is in DEBUG_EVENT_HEADER.dwThreadId, which is passed into WaitForDebugEvent()

dwThreadId is a DWORD value. Is it possible to convert DWORD to HANDLE?

Re: DebugActiveProcess question

Duncan Edwards Jones7-Jan-05 4:14

You can get a handle to the thread on the CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_EVENT event - the DEBUG_CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO structure's .Handle member.

Then create a collection keyed by dwThreadId and look up the handle using that?

strangely not this

How to get the registry location for an application specific registry details

Vaibhav Sanghavi7-Jan-05 1:13

7-Jan-05 1:13

Hi All,

I want to capture all the registry data for any application. How can I find out the location in the registry where an application stores its information?

One way is finding out the node in registry under HEY_CURRENT_USER with node name equal to application name. But here its not guaranteed that all application would store the information in a node with the same name as application name.
For instance for an application with name "Adobe Reader 6.0" stores the information is under a node with name "Adobe Reader". Though both texts are very similar they do not match exactly. They may be very different also. So how do I go about it?

Any idea?

Also few applications store their information in some files. For Instance Quark Express. I want to capture all such files also.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Vaibhav Sanghavi.

that's a hard one.

Every application can pretty much do what they want when it comes to application settings.

Those can be stored in the registry ( HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software is the common place, and other unsafe places ), in a file ( about anywhere the disk, )

Preventing a Windows Explorer folder from showing specific files and subfolders

Edward G.7-Jan-05 1:04

Edward G.

7-Jan-05 1:04

Hello,

can somone tell me if it's possible to alter the windows explorer
(via namespace extensions i guess) to only show the files and subfolders
inside a folder, which I want it to display.

If for example I change into directory C:\Winnt, the windows explorer
should only display the system32 folder and the .bmp files.
All the other files have to be hidden.

I have read that IShellFolder::EnumObjects() is used to enumerate the files
and subfolders of a folder.
But what do I have to do to tell windows explorer which of these
files and subfolders I would actually like to display,
and which I want to be hidden.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Edward
