Prison? it might be a disaster

You shouldn't necessarily be using the global namespace new operator for GDI+ objects.

If you use DEBUG_NEW and that's causing ambiguity with Gdiplus::new, you can get around it as shown below.

I tried this and it wasn't bold

#pragma push_macro("new")
#undef new
        CClientDC clidc(this); <font color="Green">// use an appropriate HDC for your code</font>
        Gdiplus::Font *pFont=new Gdiplus::Font(L"Tahoma", 12, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel);
        Graphics gr(clidc);
        PointF origin(0.0f, 0.0f);
        SolidBrush blackBrush(Color(255, 0, 0, 0));
        gr.DrawString(L"abcdefghijklmnop", 16, pFont, origin, &blackBrush);
        delete pFont;
#pragma pop_macro("new")

Hi all,

I post in VC++ forum becoz I know they are the professionals. I might be having serious problem.

I was on IRC chat, I wanted to chat with a girl in a channel called "sex", she started giving me warnings that she doesn't want to chat with me.. I didn't go but I also didn't say any bad words, I wanted to talk with her. then she said to me that an email was sent to my ISP containing my ID and a copy of this chat, she told me that she is working with the government and she started giving me information like my ISP (I know you can get this from some programs), but she was talking very seriously and she told me that I am now guilty of harassment and soon I might be caught by the police.

do I seem stupid enough? maybe..

She was speaking so professionally about things like trace routing and alike, she did not seem to be joking and she was not a sex-girl searching for fun.

Questions:

1. Can IRC servers along with my ISP know my identity, I am behind a LAN that contains at least 200 computers.

2. How would they prove my identity? will they do it by tracing my MAC or IP address? does changing my ethernet card solve the problem? and what else should I do to hide my identity?
BTW: i have static IP address in my local network.

3. Are there any government agents that really work that way in chat rooms? heard of anything like that?

I am so annoyed now, I was searching for a girl and now she fu**ed me, I need answers from professionals. Confused | :confused:

Only in the extremely unlikely case where it goes that far.

I wouldn't be worried unless you sent improper material or show up at an
underage girl's door.

No, she told me that she is 25, and she told me that she is interested in sex in our first minute, but then she told me that I should go and I didn't.

Can they identify me by trace routing? this would be a disaster Frown | :(

EDIT: I told her that I want to see her on cam

Relax
- you're nowhere near being a stalker yet.

Everything you do on the internet is potentially traceable...sometimes easily.
Keep that in mind whenever you type anything and send it out into the public Smile | :)

I know man, I doubt that anybody will bother opening a serious investigation especially if they see that I didn't speak bad words, threats..

But you know, when you think that there is 0.01% probability that you will be caught sometime, u will be pissed off, especially for such stupid thing..

Don’t worry, that girl seems to just threatening you.. Long back ago I am using yahoo chat, the guy I am chatting with give back my password, minute I initiated chat with him.

Internet seems to full of idiot and expert .. and might be your encountered expert this time.

Hey - that's just so wrong. If he posts this in the lounge, he is going to get his ass slammed (potentially preparing him for life as a prison bitch). Hackers and crackers get short shrift in the lounge, so don't send him their.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

dependent names

Hello everyone,

I have made some study on this. Here is something I found confused.

http://womble.decadentplace.org.uk/c++/template-faq.html#dependent

--------------------
What are dependent names?

A: Dependent names are names whose definitions are considered to depend upon the template parameters and for which there is no declaration within the template definition. They are resolved only when the template is instantiated. Those that are intended to refer to types or templates may require disambiguation.

If the resolution of a dependent function name uses argument-dependent lookup, declarations in the arguments' namespaces that are visible at the point of instantiation will be considered as well as declarations visible at the point of definition. (The former is normally a superset of the latter, but may not be.)
--------------------

Two confusions,

1. What means " for which there is no declaration within the template definition"?

2. What means "declarations in the arguments' namespaces that are visible at the point of instantiation will be considered as well as declarations visible at the point of definition."?

Could you show some pseudo code please?

BTW: I feel I lack some knowledge of template programming in-depth even if I use STL template everyday. I tried ti read appendix C for Bjarne's book, and it contains more confusing terms about dependent names (e.g. section C.13.8.1).

regards,
George

Thanks Maxwell!

The link is very helpful. Most of my issues are solved. How do you understand the statement in my original reply -- "declarations in the arguments' namespaces that are visible at the point of instantiation will be considered as well as declarations visible at the point of definition."

I can not understand why both instantiation point and definition point are considered. Any ideas or pseudo codes?

regards,
George

Hi again,

I need to display a JPG file from a location - ex. c:\img.jpg
using BitBlt but i don't know how to implement.

This will be under OnDraw() or OnPaint() function.
I read that this will use CDC but i don't know how to relate.

If you knew of a thread please inform me.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks.

Mark Salsbery4-Mar-08 15:51

Example:

void CMyWnd::OnPaint() 
{
    CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting

    CImage JPEGImage;
    JPEGImage.Load(_T("c:\\img.jpg"));
    JPEGImage.BitBlt(dc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
}

Is JPEGImage a derived class?
To create? or already exist.

No just a quickly chosen variable name. The class is CImage...

I forgot:

#include <atlimage.h>  // CImage class

If you're using VC 6, ~~upgrade!~~ then I'll show a sample the long way. The CImage class makes it easy Smile | :)
