If you're not sure how MFC does things MFC Internals is a good book, so is 'The MFC Answer Book'. But overall, you've probably already answered the question, this site is full of such custom controls, your best bet is really to look for well written articles that explan how some of those were created, download the source and start changing it to see what happens.

It probably wouldn't hurt to learn some Win32 so you get a better appreciation of what MFC is doing for you, but the MFC Internals book will give you that also.

What is a CImage ? If it's a bitmap of some sort, unless it's a DIB, it surely has operator HBITMAP defined ?

CImage is available when using Microsoft Forms Image 2.0 control.
and it doesn't have HBITMAP operator.
I think it has something to do with IPictureDisp and IPicture.
Hope it helps.

It's not mentioned in the latest MSDN. If it's a COM object, it may support an IStream, in which case you can get it via a GDI+ Image object. Beyond that I do not know.

I don't know about CImage too... but if you have access to IPicture, it is easy. This interface has get_Handle(OLE_HANDLE* pHandle) function. After return, the pointer inside pHandle is actually HBITMAP
Hope this will help you Smile | :)

HBITMAP & open file

Matt Newman31-Dec-01 16:21

Question 1:
I have a bitmap on a dialog (using MFC) and I have a CStatic control variable for it. I need how to get IDB_BITMAP specified into a HBITMAP so I can use SetBitmap to change the bitmap. IDB_BITMAP is a resouce in the project.

-----------------------------------------------------
Question 2:
I need to launch a file in it's default App when the user clicks a button. It doesn't really need to be that elaborate. Does WinExec work or will that only do apps?

Thanks if you can help me.

1. CBitmap::LoadBitmap() to load it from the resources, then just pass the CBitmap object to SetBitmap() - that'll automagically call CBitmap::operator HBITMAP().

2. ShellExecute() [more info in the VC forum FAQ].

This is what I tried:

CBitmap bmpBitmap;
bmpBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_2000INDY340);
m_ctlBmp.SetBitmap(bmpBitmap);

m_ctlBmp is a CStatic control variable pointing to a Picture control the Picture control is set as a bitmap. IDB_2000INDY340 is a valid bitmap resouce ID but nothing shows up. Am I skipping something?

... The CBitmap object is destroyed after this function ends, and the HBITMAP inside it released too. Maybe this is the problem.
I found this somewhere in the samples of Platform SDK:
m_cPic is the CStatic here

HBITMAP hbm = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_MAP),
IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADTRANSPARENT);
m_cPic.SetBitmap(hbm);

This works fine in my test project and loads the bitmap as transparent (pixel 1,1 is the trans color)
Also. I noticed that you have to make size of your CStatic on the dialog same or greater than the size of that bitmap.

bmpBitmap is created on the stack, so whenever that function returns, bmpBitmap is destructed and it destroys the bitmap GDI object along with it. Make the CBitmap object a member of the dialog class, and the load/set calls in OnInitDialog().

Problem with loading DLL on a computer that doesn't have VC++ installed...

I have made a small utility app that loading a DLL with LoadLibrary((LPCSTR) "TheDLL.dll");
But, when I tested this on two computers that doesn't have VC++ or VisualStudio installed it cant find the DLL!?... The return value from LoadLibrary(...) is NULL but on my two computers with VC++ installed it works fine! Confused | :confused:

The DLL is a keyboard hook DLL.

Is there something that has to be installed on the system?

Does the target DLL exist anywhere on these PCs? If so, try putting a copy in the same folder as the app. If not, get a copy from one of your VC++ PCs. If this doesn't work, does this DLL have any dependencies that are missing? And lastly, there might be a permissions problem... though it doesn't really sound like one...

Sounds like it is a dependency problem. Make sure the non-VC systems have all the required support dll's. Did you build the app and dll in release or debug? Could be you are missing the debug dll's on the target system.

Could you be nice to tell me how to compile the DLL then in debug mode or release mode?
I think I have compile it in debug, because when I look on the Project -> Settings then "Settings For" and Win32 Debug is selected in the combo box. But when I try to change it then nothing happens when I recompile it! Frown | :(

Any sample on using CreateWindow API from c# ? I’m aware of “MessageBox” sample on MSDN but I’ve no idea on how to retrieve HWND of Form and Instance handle. I’m trying to put together code to use virtual listview. virtual listview is available in SDK not with .Net. Any idea would be truly appreciated.

Thanks
