Re: Problem with ClearType text in custom control

Justin Tay25-Aug-06 14:11

Is the bitmap that is selected in the memory dc a bitmap that is compatible with the screen? Or did you just select the bitmap that you created/loaded into the memory dc and try to draw the text that way? Some sample code would help since I don't have any problem drawing cleartype enabled text on my doublebuffered controls.

I am inferring some things from my learning experience with VC++. I'd like to check if I am correct.

1. Each file is compiled separately and independently. This means each .ccp and .h file is compiled as a stand alone unit.

2. If #1 is correct, then each file must contain all the class and function declarations to which any code in that file will refer.

3. The same header file with class declarations can be #included in several other files. In other words, trans.h can be included in both abc.ccp and xyz.cpp.

Is this correct? Thanks.

*.cpp files are compiled, not *.h files. CPP files are where the implementation for classes, functions, etc are placed. H files are where they are defined. This allows other modules (classes, libraries, etc) to see the definition of a function or class without having to know how everything is implemented during the compilation.

You can't use a function/class/variable/etc unless you know how it is defined.

This is correct. Though usually you place #pragma once or #ifdef/#define statements around the header file content to prevent a file from being included multiple times.

it helps to think of #include "foo.h" as doing exactly what "include" implies: the preprocessor reads the contents of foo.h and, in effect, sticks that in the place of the #include line. the compiler doesn't really look at foo.h directly.

and, you can #include anything.

Howto draw a rotated ellipse with MFC

Hey,

how can I draw a rotated ellipse with MFC. The only way I found out to draw ellipse is to use CDC:Ellipse. The way requires a rect...

Is there any other way?

Thank you for your help

One way would be to draw it unrotated and then to use CDC::ModifyWorldTransform to do the rotation.

From people that know, are skills in VC++ translateble to the embedded / mobile version? What are the main differences?

To some degree. Mobile SDK is usually only a subset of the regular SDK, with some mobile extensions.

In general, the embedded version of the SDK is a subset of the non-embedded version. Basic C++ skills are the same, but you do have to take extra care when dealing with memory allocation and stack limitations.

CryptEncrypt in UNICODE

When I am using CryptEncrypt() & CryptDecrypt()functions in my VC++ project which is UNICODE, I'm getting junk values after decrypting. But when the project is _MBCS(Multibyte-character) it is working fine. Did any of you encountered this problem ?
Is there a workaround ?

memory leak while creating multiple class objects(same class)?

jalsa G25-Aug-06 3:47

25-Aug-06 3:47

hi all,

i am creating multiple objects for the same class
like calling this function as many times.

Void CMainWindow::OpenDefaultChatwindow()
{
m_dlgChatWindow = new CChatWindow();
m_dlgChatWindow->Create(IDD_DIALOG_CHAT_WINDOW,GetDesktopWindow());
m_dlgChatWindow->SetNewParent(this);
m_dlgChatWindow->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

but when i delete the object i am able to delete only one object then it is showing memory leaks
because i created multiple same objects and deleting only one object.

How to solve this problem ?

plz help in this issue

Simply by deleting the previous object before creating a new one (that seems obvious):

Void CMainWindow::OpenDefaultChatwindow()
{
if (m_dlgChatWindow )
delete m_dlgChatWindow ;
m_dlgChatWindow = new CChatWindow();
m_dlgChatWindow->Create(IDD_DIALOG_CHAT_WINDOW,GetDesktopWindow());
m_dlgChatWindow->SetNewParent(this);
m_dlgChatWindow->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

Mmhhh, maybe I answered too fast to your question. You would like several windows opened together or just one ? If just one, see my previous post.

In the other case, you have to store all those pointers in an array and delete them afterward (or when it is needed). I suggest that you take a look at the std::vector class to store all these pointers.
