I was just wondering what the best way to submit or add my tutorials I've been working on all month would be, should I reproduce them all here as separate articles, or submit one article with links to them, wonder which would be preferred and would appreciate some advice - if want to have a look then visit https://comentsys.wordpress.com/[^]if that helps see what I've been doing, I've been doing this all month long and want to make sure as many people get to see and use them, don't make anything from them at all and are free to use just want more interest.

Articles published on CodeProject must be actual articles, not just links to other items (there are very rare occasions such as articles that list reference books).
So: publishing your content as separate articles would be the way to go.

Great, that sounds good to me as was starting to think that would be the best way so will be happy publish them here once I have them all done on my blog, thanks for the advice!

If you are going to post them as blog anyways... why don't you do it in a friendly CP-Format and feed them?

Thanks, could do that but decided to expand my submission to be articles and re-written including code for all of them that I don't even have on my blog, a good little bonus for here, is nice to be able to contribute after being a member for so long and not having much to show for it!

Hi
I had a problem with a Windows SDK DebugBreak API which does seems to be working on my windows 8.1 VS 2012.
After both posting this issue on the MFC C++ forum and researching it on the web, I came to the conclusion that there is a bug with it on my platform
I have come up with somewhat clever solution to it.
How would I go about publishing it
Thanks

Publishing as a Tip sounds like the right option.

I just had a thought I'm not sure about my solution for debugging an app at startup meaning starting the app as a parm to vsjitdebugger
Would it inherit the parents handles ?
|
|
|
|

Sorry, I have never used that feature, so I wouldn't know. I only ever use the "standard" debugger, which kicks in on a breakpointed line of code.

I am trying to find what (if any) vector graphic formats I can use in an article submission. Bitmaps are fine, but what if the source of my diagrams is in PowerPoint and I want to keep the precision of vector? I can worry about any needed format conversion. I am wondering though, what vector graphics formats CodeProject will accept and publish.
Later I say:
Sure thing, Chris. Point us all to an example of your PNGs on the web. We'll view source and see what your circles, or rectangles, or polylines are made of.
IrfanView says Bob.png is 51 x 70 pixels Original 32-bpp Current 24-bpp. I am not petulant. I am after the truth. I think the truth must be, No, CodeProject does not publish articles with embedded or linked vector graphics. IE lower right 400% Bob looks chunky.
I see the email, twitter, facebook, linkedIn, google+, pinterest icons/buttons at the bottom of most articles are embedded svg. Surely there must be some way we can use svg in our submitted articles. No?

PowerPoint isn't an image format, it's a document format. Extract the images and use them.
For vector images I'd strongly recommend PNG.

I'm so sorry Chris misses the question so completely. I don't want to create a bitmap from my PowerPoint diagrams. That's what 'extract the image' is. What I want is a vector graphic in my article. I get the impression this is only possible in HTML5. I DONT want an href to a bitmap. That's what an image is. I want a vector graphic. Thanks for not helping.

Please leave the attitude at the door. I'm trying to help.
Can you please explain what you mean by "vector graphic". A PNG file is a graphics file that can contain images in vector format. I use this all the time. Your other option is to upload an SVG (Standard Vector Graphics) file - this is also supported.
An "href" is only used in an anchor tag. For an img tag you use the src attribute.
cheers

I don't if know I should continue calling you Chris or start calling you "Job" (what a patience)
Edit: I forgot "know"

One attitude stems from having the assumption you know everything. I definitely don't have that attitude. My thanks to Chris for correcting my misuse of href. As for PowerPoint, yes, I said I would worry about converting it to an acceptable vector graphic format. Vector graphic? Why, if I google that term, I get plenty of ideas what that is. It involves lines, arcs, rectangles, and other geometric shapes. Not so much pixels, as in a bitmap. More along the lines of lines. Less along the lines of big chunky pixels. Since Chris says PNG can contain images in vector format, I'll proceed along the lines of me not knowing everything. But then, if I find 'images in vector format' (in my meaning) was just an excuse for not understanding, well, I've said enough on this.

How about we just leave you in peace to work out what's best for you.
If you do wish our help in publishing your article and your graphics then we're happy to help. Just send us whatever you have and we'll ensure it look good and works on the web.
We've done this a few times. I'm sure we could muddle our way through it.
cheers

I would not have asked my question in the first place if I was not looking for an answer. What did I get? Use PNG. It doesn't have vector graphics, but go ahead, use PNG. The spec says, "Conceptually, a PNG image is a rectangular pixel array ... Three types of pixel are supported:" etc. No vectors.
Just muddling your way through is what I was worried about. Since you've done this a few times, maybe I'll find a sample article with good diagram muddling. I can always hope.
cheers

Wow - do you really need to be so rude?
I use PNG daily and I can assure you that PNG can store information in vector format.
I have asked you a couple of times to either explain what you need so I can answer more specifically, or to send us what you have and we'll do whatever we need to do to get your article posted.
I don't understand where the attitude is coming from. We're trying to help. Tell me specifically what you are trying to do, what's blocking you, and I can help. I'm not muddling through, I'm not making stuff up, and I have been doing this for a long, long time. I can help if you want help.
cheers

Ah, so you use Fireworks as well. Wonderful product. And yes, I can also confirm that it stores vector information perfectly well.

Guilty as charged.
The truly sad part is that I much prefer FW3 to the latest versions. FW went the way of so many other products and just become more cluttered with features that got in the way.
