Where have you seen this dialog ?
When you right click on an icon of an exeyou can select the properties. There are several tabs usually and the second one concerns the program. For my exe I only see the general properties..file size etc.
Anyway thanks for your help.

I've worked it out - you want the tab you get for a shortcut, and it allows you to set the directory that it links to. Like I said, you can't change the folder of an exe, except by moving it.

i am writing a Drawing program, i use Layers in it
how should i do if i want to erase some parts of current layer and leave
other layers without changing, which means their graphics still show as
before. i want to do as the Flash's eraser.
thank u for help
BTW: i used CTypedPtrArray to store every layer

You need to impliment some degree of transparency between layers ( obviously, or you'll only see the top layer ). I'm told GDI+ actually draws using the alpha layer, so you could try that, it certainly supports colour keying at least. The Intel image processing library was what I used to write a paint program with layers, it also supports tiled images beyond what is physically possible for a Windows bitmap.
rainfallc wrote:

What are you storing pointers of ? If they are CBitmaps, you're going about it all wrong. They need to be DIBSections ( or GDI+ Bitmaps). I'd also recommend vector over dodgy MFC containers, or list or set if you want to be able to swap layers around.

i use CTypedPtrArray to store layers, each layer is a CTypedPtrList,
and i don`t store CBitmap in layer , i make a abstract class CShape, change the IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macro to support Serailize( i need Serialize), and derive CStroke , CRectangle and so on from it, and store them in the layers.
Could u give me some more advices?
i am not familiar with DIBSections , so could u show me some codes?
thank u for your reply

Ah, it's a DRAWING package ? You have one image, and you keep track of all the things you draw on it ? A DIBSection is like a CBitmap/HBITMPA, but it can be any bit depth, regardless of the screen depth.
Are you using GDI+ ? How are you drawing the shapes ?

i don`t use GDI+,
the way i draw the shapes is that i offer a virtual function called Draw and pass the CDC* as the argument, then in the view, i rewrite the OnLButtonDown
,OnLButtonUp, OnMoveMove, to change the shapes` shape( there is another virtual function to change each shapes` member variables),
then in the view`s WM_PAINT message, i draw the shapes into a bitmap , then bitblt to the screen, i used another CArray to keep track of which layer is hiding.
please give me more hints
do u mean use GDI+ is more eaiser than GDI to solve these kinds of problems?
thank u for help

So to recap:
you have an array of layers. Each layer has an array of pointers to a base class. Your WM_PAINT steps through these arrays in order and draws everything again to a CBitmap, then to the screen.

Why not make a layer class that has a hidden property and holds all the things you are drawing, if you're doing it that way ? You're risking fragmentation between different aspects of what should be the same data.
rainfallc wrote:

OK.
1/ If you don't need W95 support, use GDI+. It's the easiest way to do layering
2/ Don't use CBitmap, because when you come to save & load images, you'll only be able to deal with images the same bit depth as your screen. Use GDI+::Bitmap, which has the advantange of letting you load and save a ton of formats as well.
3/ Don't draw everything to the screen every time, unless you want to be able to reselect items you have previously drawn to edit/move/delete them. If you're trying to write a drawing package, you're stuck with this, but I'd still impliment suggestion 4, and redraw a layer using your array only when you want to select/delete something
4/ Make a vector of layer objects, a class that encapsulates the bitmap that represents the layer ( which has it's alpha channel set so that it can be drawn on top of lower layers correctly ), the objects in the layer if you want to select them, if the layer is to be drawn or not, etc.

thanks for reply
i create a tool class called Eraser,
now i show three layers on the screen, the topmost one i am editing,
i draw a line on it, i want to ERASE someparts of the line, but those parts
are inside the lower layers`s shapes` region.
How could i set the Eraser`s mode , which just delete the current layers` content,.after i release the mouse button, lower layers show as before, but current layer`s image has changed?
u said:

could u offer a short program for the suggestion above? do u mean to draw a bitmap with its alpha channel set on other layers` images?
thanks again

By erasing by reseting the alpha channel in just the layer you are drawing on. Making an eraser would seem to suggest you'd be better not keeping track of individual shapes, but just bitmaps. It's not going to take long for your paint method to groan under the strain of rerendering all this stuff.

A short program ? No. Which part do you need help with ?

Always glad to help - just try to impliment what I've suggested and ask when you get stuck. I've also written a GDI+ paint program called Doodle on CP, which may help you get started in GDI+.

I'm calling the Win32 api function SHBrowseForFolder to display a Browse folder dialog. It allows a callback fn to be specified. Can anybody tell me, using the hwmd supplied in the callback is it possible to access the dialog's device context. Can this be done with Subclassing.
Thanks for reading
John

I have never used this function before, but does the HWND represent the dialog or the owner of the dialog. Anyway, you can always call GetDC to get the DC of a window. The thing that you will need to worry about is if that handle is the dialog or not. If that handle is the parent of the dialog, you can always enumerate through the windows to get your dialog handle, or cache a handle somewhere.

In theory, no, but I believe in practise it is possible to hack a solution, so long as you don't want them to float.

Hi,
We have a big monolitic (  ), project, that takes half an hour to compile ( Scassi HD, and 500 Mb. Memory), we don´t have time to chop it into smaller pieces ( now it´s not the time for that  )...
... But we have like three more computers free, so would it be possible to send to that computers a bunch of files, and that machines could compile them ? ( so if I have 400 files I could compile 50 here, 50 there, 50..., in paralel).
Does can be done on VStudio 6.0 ? And .net ? ... or that´s to good to be true ?
Thanks in advance, Greetings

Hi
i got a serious Problem with the Blocking Sockets Part of WinSock2.
A Java Applet is connecting to my TCP/IP Server (written in C++) - and now they are talking... and it works - ... but everytime the Java Applet sends a Message to the C++ the LAST BYTE doesn´t arrive. Its there when the next message is sent from the Applet - but until then.... no LAST BYTE....
does anybody know how to workaround - or WHY the H**** this is occuring ?

Do you have more information? What protocol do you use on your socket? HTTP, FTP, in-house?
If the protocol you use specifies in its header the number of incoming bytes, make sure you don't miscalculate.

I want to record sound with callback function.
I call waveInOpen, waveInPrepareHeader, waveInAddBuffer etc. successfully.
And I can get WIM_OPEN and WIM_CLOSE message in the callback function.
BUT I CAN'T get WIM_DATA message! Why???
BTW: I can get MM_WIM_DATA message when I use threads instead of callback
function, and I can get WOM_DONE message when using callback function waveOutProc.

Hey!
I found the answer.
I forget to call waveInStart.

How do i capture the whole viewport size of a CScrollView to a bitmap?...
I'm making a paint program and i want to save the whole drawing including the hidden part of the bitmap.... (the part which is not scrolled)...
I tried Bitbliting the ScreenDC into memDC which has a bitmap attached to it
but it only captured the visible part.. worst it also captured the Scrollbars...
