ANSI C Standard Library in VC8 [modified]

Is there a way of using the ANSI C Library in VC8?

Basically can I use fopen and so on?
In a normal Win32 project it says the methods are deprecated (yes I know I can use fopen_s but for project reasons I have to use fopen (and would rather not write a whole bunch of macros).

deprecated doesn't mean unusable...

it is only an advice not to do so, but yes, you still can use them.

Hmm... I seem to remember (from yesterday) that when I tried to open a stream using fopen it returned a null, even though the file was valid (tried the same code on my home workstation using gcc and it worked fine).

I will investigate anyway, thanks a lot.

Thank you for ur reply.
Let me explain my problem.
I have a text file. I want to print that text file to a fax. I want that text to be converted into an imagefile of .tif. Then i want to send that tif image file to fax. Now the problem is how to get the text in the text file into a tif file as an image. Or can we put that text as image on any other file formats like jpg,bmp.

Awaitng your reply
Thank you

Hope I understood your question
you need to read this file(txt) line to line and darw to dc.See here its a simple example but i think its your purpose,right?

<code>
include AtlImage.h

HDC hdc=CreateCompatibleDC(GetDC()->m_hDC);
HBITMAP hbit=CreateCompatibleBitmap(GetDC()->m_hDC,100,100);

	SelectObject(hdc,hbit);
FillRect(hdc,CRect(0,0,100,100), (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH) );

	TextOut(hdc,0,0,"test",4);

	CImage m_Image;
	m_Image.Attach(hbit);
	m_Image.Save("D:\\test.bmp");
	DeleteObject(hbit);
	DeleteDC(hdc);

I think what you want requires:

OpenPrinter()
StartDocPrinter()
StartPagePrinter()
WritePrinter()
EndPagePrinter()
EndDocPrinter()

We suppose your problem is "how to create a TIFF image file which contains just a white background and a simply formatted black text, loaded from a text file?"

As a hypothetical solution I would suggest you to try the CxImage library (http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/cximage.asp[^], light source files).

I think a part of solution may look like this:

CxImage image(1024, 1024, 8, CXIMAGE_FORMAT_TIF);
HDC dc = ::GetWindowDC(NULL);
image.DrawString(hdc, 10, 10, "a line of text", RGB(0, 0, 0), "Arial"); // (repeat this for all of the lines of text, varying y)
::ReleaseDC(hdc, NULL);
image.Encode("file-name.tiff", CXIMAGE_FORMAT_TIF);

I hope it works.

Thank You Viorel.
If i am right, the text file window which is to be printed has to be opened.
If it is the case I want to tell you that the window will not be opened. I just give the path of the text file. Is it possible to do as such.

Please reply.

I don't think you have to open a window. You just need to open the existing text file using a method you know: fopen, CStdioFile, std::ifstream, CreateFile etc. Then read lines from file and draw them to the image.

Note that instead of CxImage third-party library you also may investigate some other tools. For instance the CImage class, available in ATL and described in MSDN, is also able to store images to disk, but not in TIFF format.

Playing audio in 5.1 multi channel sound card.

I have an application where 4 audio files are played simultaneously in two channels of two conventional stereo cards. I have to migrate this to playing using a 5.1 system. There are limitations to existing WAVEFORMAT which does not identify multi channel device.
Can anyone help me with the procedure how to pack the audio packets (for 4 files) and assign to the multi channel sound card?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
