Just becoz u knew it b4hand, doesn't mean everybody knows it.. there r lot of ppl who searches in code project for solutions, u should keep it in your mind!!

If it's useful then why vote 4 and not 5 :S?

Thanx for pointing out the mistake, I removed the str which was put there by mistake. Now to answer your real question, I tried to pass a char* as template argument and it didn't work. So this is a workaround. If you take the VHRes::name variable outside of the VHRes (i.e, make it an independant varialbe outside fo class scope) and try to initialize it and pass it, it simply won't work!! Atleast doesn't work in MS Visual Studio 2005

Darn!! I missed that delete pBitmapBits part, thanx..!! Code project also cud have a Like option like facebooks in the comments/reply sections. :) I really like what u said in ur posts... :):)

Thanx.. that was really inpiring

Not sure whether changin the alpha value is a good solution.. but definitely worth a try, might look into this in spare time.. thnx for ur input..!!

I think >> 8 means division by 256 and not 255.
Can anybody enlighten me about this?

my pleasure..

as mentioned in your point 4 - "Reordering when necessary might reduce that" - could u elaborate a little more on this plz, i didn't get what u meant by reordering..

All i can say is "WOW!!" .. Thnx... it mite really help in future

Finally some appreciation.. thanx :)

Maybe sledgehammer, wud u be kind enough to post an improvement/alternate of the tip...

Acknowledged.. Although since GetPixel and SetPixel is done in a memory dc it will be a little faster than a screen dc. Anyway, this tip was mainly to focus upon how to achieve AlphaBlending in the most simplest of manners

nothing new to u.. so i guess u r entitled to give a 1...

You have to have an increasing id field johnharold.. You cannot expect t.Field1 to be a debit/credit amount field, rather t.Field1 is usually an autonumber field in increasing order..

not working well meaning.. it's slow? or it doesn't work at all ????

I thought tips was not about extensive research.. just something useful for some ppl in some time..

Thnx... I actually got it from someone else and he didn't give me the reference.. Thought it wud be useful so posted it, If I had the proper reference I would have given it .. anyway.. thnx a million...

Yes, I know these are all in the internet.. but, when u post a tip, it's readily available without going through much surfing..

thnx..

You are right.. it's not an article.. it's a tip.. and the best part of the tip is in bottom with bold words..

How very nice.. thnx..

I tried, doesn't seem to work.. the pre tag..

Trivial for someone as talented as you maybe, who has the whole MSDN in his head, but for some of the amateurs like us, this may come in handy..

Maybe I would be sounding too naive to ask this.. but since you've shown me the tip of the ice-berg, I would like to see a little more.. How would the adapter pattern solution look like? I personally have hard time distinguishing a bridge from the adapter. So definitely there will be some milage if you are kind enough to add also the adapter usability example. Thanks so much for your attention and time..
