How to rotate a GDI object in VC++ without using setworldtransform?

If it's a DIBSection( i.e. you have access to the bitmap bits ), then you can perform the rotate yourself on a new DIBSection ( seeing as a rotated image is bigger. )

Duplicate a file?

How do you duplicate a file? Is there a windows API? Or do you just use CFile to read it in and create a new copy?

Thanks for the insight.

Try CopyFile or CopyFileEx

here is the description:

BOOL CopyFile(<br />
  LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,<br />
  LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,<br />
  BOOL bFailIfExists<br />
);<br />

In addition to what Tom said, I would also suggest looking at the MakeSureDirectoryPathExists function if you need to copy the file to a specific folder hierarchy.

(This function is in the dbghelp.dll, which you'll need to distribute depending on the target OS - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/makesuredirectorypathexists.asp)

I have made one C++ DLL using VC++ 6.0 which has a function, in this function loadlibary function which open the WAB32.DLL file and at the end of function freelibrary function was used to destroy the instance of loadlibary.But when i call this function in VB frequenty it will return memory is full message. So How to destroy the instance of loadlibary from memory.

So please solve my problem as soon as possible.

Sorry for less information.

I have written a function which returns all the contacts of outlook Express in this function I opened the WAB32.dll file using the loadlibrary function and then retrieve all the contacts and append then to the char * variable.
below is my function which explains you properly.

This function is frequently called by VB 6.0 DLL. if i have not more than 50 contacts it will work fine but when i have more than that it gives me "Low virtual memory " error occurs and then my whole system goes down.

Please give a solution to resolve the problem.

One more problem is that is it right way to returns the character array from VC ++ to VB 6.0?. please modify the code or give me good suggestion because VB recongnizes String and VC++ recongnizes char Array.

Same way that you would send anything via a socket connection. Using the send function. Pass the command you want to the server thru the Send function.

There are alot of Telent articles here so, do a search and take a look see.

Simple question about STL list class

Budric B.20-May-05 3:31

20-May-05 3:31

Hi,
my list isn't behaving the way I want it to. I have the following code which I step through in the debugger.

<br />
	std::list<int *> testList;<br />
	int * one = (int *) 0x01;<br />
	int * two = (int *) 0x02;<br />
	int * three = (int *) 0x03;<br />
	testList.push_back(one);<br />
	testList.push_back(two);<br />
	testList.push_back(three);<br />
	one = two = three = NULL;<br />
	three = testList.back();<br />
	testList.pop_front();<br />
	two = testList.back();<br />
	testList.pop_front();<br />
	one = testList.back();<br />
	testList.pop_front();<br />

In the end I get all three int * variables to be 0x03 which is not what I intended with this code. And yes, I am trying to create a list of pointers because eventually it will be a list of pointers to a class representing an image which I don't want copied on each enqueue and dequeue operation.

Also...

20-May-05 3:43

Replace all the pop_front() by pop_back().
What you are doing here is reading the last element of the list then removing the first one. Then reading again the last (which is of course the same because you removed the first and not the last one).

Hope this helps...
