Dude I like your style of how you announced your name and presence ..who does that Big Grin | :-D

As for your question if you already know how to program using Win32 APIs then MFC will be a snap for you to pick up as most of the classes are wrappers around the primitive types.

If you don't know any Win32 programming then I suggest you understand the basic plumbing, and a good book for that is the Charles Petzold book Smile | :)

..Also whatever you do don't pick up one of those god awful big red wrox book, simply trash! I have an old MFC book by Jeff prosise on windows 95!!! Ha, if you can get your hand on a copy or a later release then it's definitely worth the read, excellent coverage of what you need to know about MFC from start to finish. Trust me when I say not much as changed since then...thanks to MS for leaving us C++ developers out in the cold while the C# .Net folks get all the cool libraries and we're still in the stone ages of having to write routines from scratch!!! Ahhh I want to cry man..... Cry | :((

See what you gone done now sonny, I am all bent out of shape trying to answer your question!!! Are you HAPPY now, Hugh, Mr. Vishwanath Patil .... Big Grin | :-D

Is there any standard for returning values from a function?

Hi,
Is there any standard for return values from a function, for example if my function returns only two value(true/false) then i would like to assign bool as its return value, but if i have got three values(0,1,2), then what data type should be the used as return value.

Best Regards,
Mushq

you have plenty of types. if the function may return little integers, char is good enough. but short, int, long are possible choices.

If the function may return only a small set of integers (such as {0,1,2}) then the enum type is a good choiche. Usually you can assign to each member of the set a meanigful name:

enum TrustLevel
{
  LOW = 0,
  AVERAGE,
  HIGH
};

You can use of CImage class for load bmp,jpg,gif,png.

CImage m_Image;
m_Image.Load(your file);

Are you using MFC, or just the Win32 API? Is this a console or GUI appliocation?

or the different is just the Project?

You can develop a console application using Win32, MFC, or both. You can also develop a GUI application using Win32, MFC, or both.

Any other alternative for GetPixel() SetPixel()

Hi All,

I use dc.GetPixel() dc.SetPixel() functions to render bitmaps with my color and then StretchBlt on to my Paint dc.I do StretchBlt of around 16 bitmaps on Paint DC.As a result my painting is delayed by 3 secs.
So, Is there any otherway other than GetPixel() and SetPixel() to reduce the delay?

Thanks in Advance

A replacement to GetPixel, is to use GetBitmapBits and access the memory directly.

<br />
BITMAP bm= ###; // i assume you have this<br />
<br />
int datasize = bm.bmWidth*bm.bmHeight*bm.bmPlanes;<br />
COLORREF* lpClrData = (COLORREF*)LocalAlloc(LPTR, datasize * sizeof(COLORREF));<br />
DWORD ds = GetBitmapBits(hBitmap, datasize * sizeof(COLORREF), lpClrData);<br />
<br />
COLORREF pixelColor = lpClrData[y*imageWidth+x];<br />
<br />

This is much faster that GetPixel...
I haven't had to deal with SetPixel (but i'm sure with the above you should be on your way to finding a solution).

Jubjub,
is this work with any color resolution?I remember that I try something similar in past,...and I remember that I fonund many problem if the system was 16k colors, where 2 Bytes are used to define the pixel color. Confused | :confused:

What do you mean by this? What are you actually doing with the pixel values?
This would determine how best to efficiently access the pixels IMO.

If you need pixel access then I would recommend using a DIB section, which gives you an HBITMAP
for GDI operations along with a pointer to the pixel bits for direct manipulation.
