I know this is a really broad question, but...
How would I go about programmatically determining whether a given network connection is wireless or not?
For that matter, what is the "tried and true" method for enumerating network connections? Google searches yield different methods, all with varying degrees of reliability...
One big stumbling block is that if the OS is Win32, my code's gotta be able to get that data reliably. That is, anything from the original Win95 to Win2K3. Although to be frank I'm not terribly concerned about determining whether a connection is wireless or not on a 95 box (are there even adapters that ship with 95 drivers?)

Good question, especially since the wire, or lack thereof, is part of the Physical layer of the OSI.

Windows can determine it. I'm assuming there's gotta be something that can be queried to get to the same information.

I'm not in disagreement, but I do not know what it would be. If you find out, it would make for a good CP article.

I have an issue where I have a function that takes an HDC and draws to it. Instead of just displaying the data in a window, I want to write it to a bitmap file. I don't want to show the window at all, so I'm hoping that I can do this with a hidden window some how. I've tried calling GetCurrentBitmap() on the CDC object and that did not give me a valid bitmap. I also tried the following:
hDC = GetDC(hDCWnd);
hBmp = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hDC, 500, 500);
SelectObject(hDC, hBmp);
MyFuncToDraw(hDC);
CBitmap* bitmap = CBitmap::FromHandle(hBmp);
but that only gave me a blank bitmap. Does anyone have any idea how I can get a valid CBitmap so I can save it to a file? Is this even possible??

You need to create a memory dc
hDC = GetDC(hDCWnd);
// create the memory dc
HDC hdcMem = ::CreateCompatibleDC(hDC);
hBmp = ::CreateCompatibleBitmap(hDC, 500, 500);
// select the bitmap into the memory device context instead
HBITMAP hbmpOld = (HBITMAP)::SelectObject(hdcMem, hBmp);
// pass the memory dc handle instead
MyFuncToDraw(hdcMem);
CBitmap* bitmap = CBitmap::FromHandle(hBmp);
... after done
::SelectObject(hdcMem, hbmpOld);
::DeleteDC(hdcMem);

Ok, here's what I'm trying, it's just giving me a blank (black) 500x500 bitmap:
CDC memDC;
memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(GetDC());
CBitmap *bmp = new CBitmap();
bmp->CreateCompatibleBitmap(&memDC, 500, 500);
CBitmap *old = memDC.SelectObject(bmp);
CRect rc(0, 0, 500, 500);
memDC.FillRect(rc, new CBrush(RGB(0, 255, 255)));
memDC.TextOut(50, 50, "BLAH");
//This stuff writes the bitmap and I know that it works.
HANDLE hDib = DDBToDIB(*bmp, BI_RGB, NULL);
WriteDIB("c:\\test\\testbmp.bmp", hDib);
memDC.SelectObject(old);
I have also tried to put the "memDC.SelectObject(old);" line before the bitmap writes and it gives the same problem. I know that the bitmap writing code works, I've used it before on CBitmaps just fine, so I'm sure that the problem exists in this drawing code somewhere. This code is being run from a CDialog, so that's where the GetDC() comes from.

How can i change the circle to a diamond in radio button?
I use MFC.
When I chose the owner draw style and painted the radio button to diamond style one, I don't get the button be checked in the normal default way!
What can I do?
|
|
|
|
|
Besides BS_OWNERDRAW, what other style(s) does the button have?

Hi all,
HFONT CreateFont(
int nHeight, // height of font
int nWidth, // average character width
int nEscapement, // angle of escapement
int nOrientation, // base-line orientation angle
int fnWeight, // font weight
DWORD fdwItalic, // italic attribute option
.. .
..
)
I have an option in UI for the user to select Font Size 8 to 72 as in winword. I would like to know how to give this value to create font's height and width parameter.
Ex: suppose user selects a font size of 12, what is the corresponding nHeight and nWidth value..Is there any conversion required ??
Can somebody throw more light on this..
Thanks,
Shiva P

Set height as follows...
nHeight = -MulDiv(PointSize,
GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72);
nWidth = 0;

we r working on file transferring in vc++(without using MFC).when we send small size of file(approx 250- 350 kb).there is no problen in sending.but when we send large file through our program there is some problem to geting in server side.means that there is some additonal bytes added by server program and some time it will hang.
if we debug this program there is no problem it sends successfully big file too.
here another problem that is
we are reading /writing a structure using fread/fwrite. it convert it into binary file. so when we reading the file fread function doesnot read specified bytes or sometimes unable to read.
we have more problem to read / write Structure using fread/fwrite is there any alternate of these fun in c/C++.
plz send us solution or suggession soon.

Hello.
It's a possibility that your problem depends on that you are using text mode in your fopen()-calls.
Make sure you use fopen("anyFile", "rb"); and fopen("anyfile2", "wb");
The 'b' is the key here. (The default mode usually is text mode, which seens unusable in your application).

How are you sending file from client to server? i.e. in Small packet or whole file at a time!

I need information on ADPCM sound format. Microsoft seems not to love it any more.
I need:
- file header format
- code samples
- links to documentation
We are trying to use it in a project written in C++ (mixed-mode, both managed and unmanaged code
Any ideas?

http://www.wotsit.org/ has specs on RIFF, which is related to ADPCM. Would that help?

Respected All
I am engaged with filereading problem since long time, i readed the file but still problems are coming.
the dat file is in the following form.
-----------------------------------------
;sfad
;sdlfgs
;sdfjsd
;X Y Index
12 12 1233
34 45 1244
66 44 2435
45 23 3455
;fgksdghkdfhgdf
;dflghfd
23 67 6788
23 45 2334
-------------------------------------
now in the above file format i has to read only the lines that's starting without SEMICOLON and all the lines starting eith SEMICOLON has to skipp.and also while reading each line of the file I has to put the X,Y and Index value in seperate Array and the same process will be repeated each time for X,Y and Index value.
my code script is following
---------------------------------------
int val1,val2,val3;
int row=0;
char str4[50];
pfile=fopen("filename.dat",r)
do
{
fgets(str4,sizeof(str4),pfile);
if(str4[0]!=';')
{
fscanf(pfile,"%d",val1)
arr1[row]=val1;
fscanf(pfile,"%d",val2)
arr2[row]=val2;
fsacnf(pfile,"%d",val3)
arr3[row]=val3;
row++
}
while(!feof(pfile))
fclose(pfile);
-----------------------------
its reads all the data correctly but when there is a SEMICOLON in the start of the line then its skipp the next one line(immediate lines) and reads after it.
in the above case it skipp the line
12 12 1233
and
23 67 6788
because before these two lines there was a SEMICOLON line and due to it skipp the immediate lines.
and except these 2 lines it reads all the lines accordingly,
I dont know why this problem is coming,, pls guide me that what is the best method in this case while i am reading the above file format.
waiting for + response.

Hi,
There shdnt be any problem with this ....
But u can use the other way ....
#include <"fstream.h">
void main(void)
{
char *str4 = new char[50];
ifstream Inputfile("filename.dat",ios::in);
Inputfile.getline(str4, '\n');
....
....
....
Inputfile.close();
delete str4;
}
i hope the problem will be solved

You are reading a line from the file into str4, but then you don't actually use it. Instead, you keep reading from the file using fscanf... That's why your program skips lines. Use sscanf instead of fscanf, with a format like "%d %d %d".

This has been shown to you many times in the past.
int row=0;
char str4[50];
pfile=fopen("filename.dat", "r");
do
{
fgets(str4, sizeof(str4), pfile);
if (str4[0] != ';')
{
sscanf(str4, "%d %d %d", arr1[row], arr2[row], arr3[row]);
row++;
}
} while(! feof(pfile));
fclose(pfile);

i am trying to find an instance of a small bitmap in a screen grab of a window.
so far i have managed to load both bitmaps into two BYTE arrays. I found some code which searches through the bitmaps and uses memcmp to see if the smaller one is present in the larger. the trouble is, i am having trouble with the memcmp function:
memcmp(ScreenBmp[i][tmpY],CardBmp[x], card_line_length )
What should ScreenBmp and CardBmp represent. I have the two bitmaps in BYTE buffer arrays, so how can i get them into the format above. The code i used to get them into these arrays is below:
HANDLE hBitMap = LoadImage(0, "img.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
BITMAP bitmap;
GetObject(hBitMap,sizeof(BITMAP),&bitmap);
int size = bitmap.bmHeight*bitmap.bmWidth*bitmap.bmBitsPixel/8;
/// cout << bitmap.bmHeight << endl;
BYTE *lpBits = new BYTE[ size ];
GetBitmapBits((HBITMAP)hBitMap,size,lpBits );
//delete []lpBits;
HANDLE hBitMap2 = LoadImage(0, "img2.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
BITMAP bitmap2;
GetObject(hBitMap2,sizeof(BITMAP),&bitmap2);
int size2 = bitmap2.bmHeight*bitmap2.bmWidth*bitmap2.bmBitsPixel/8;
/// cout << bitmap.bmHeight << endl;
BYTE *lpBits2 = new BYTE[ size2 ];
GetBitmapBits((HBITMAP)hBitMap2,size2,lpBits2 );
cheers!
