Okay new problem.
I decided to write the file each element at a time.
Here is the new bit of code...

for ( int i=0; i<= 3647; i++)
{
    frameData[i] = *p;
    temp.Format("%d ",frameData[i]);
    file.Write(temp,sizeof(temp));
    p++;
}

but instead of getting each number followed by a blank which is what I had intended. I get some of the numbers on top of each other (like four in a row) and some of them correct.

for ( int i=0; i <= 3647; i++ ) 
{
   frameData[i] = *p; 			
//   temp.Format("%d ",frameData[i]); <-- Wrong format specifier for short int
   temp.Format("%hd ",frameData[i]);
//   file.Write(temp,sizeof(temp)); <-- Wrong string length
   file.Write(temp, temp.GetLength() * sizeof(TCHAR));
   p++;
}

If you're writing all text, maybe CStdioFile is a better class to use...

Help PenTable (Diy) Pressure data.

Hello everyone!

I have built a digital table with a pencil (like a wacom) and I'm doing my own drivers.
He managed to move the mouse through the following simple code [Visual C + + in XP]:

// press detected
INPUT aInput;
aInput.type = INPUT_MOUSE;
aInput.mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE;
aInput.mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;
aInput.mi.mouseData = 0;
aInput.mi.time = 0;
aInput.mi.dx = (data.X * 65535.0f);
aInput.mi.dy = (data.Y * 65535.0f);
int aResult = SendInput(1, &aInput, sizeof(INPUT) );

But, I do not see how you can send to the system/software (Photoshop, paint ,...) data with the pressure of the pen to draw. I suppose that will be a standar, but nothing found information about it.

Someone known as is done? That object is used?

Thanks!!

I think you are looking for the Wintab specification for drivers.

http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/r0403/06r03/06r03.asp&guid=[^]

Software. Without appropriate software support, no peripheral can communicate with the computer. In the case of digital tablets, this means each program must support the tablet with an API (Application Program Interface), and each tablet must include a software driver.

The application developer is responsible for implementing the AP correctly. Wintab is the most popular tablet API in use. Developers can add the Wintab API to their application and support almost any tablet on the market today. API's are often specific to a category, such as tablets, but are not device specific. (For more information, see "Programming Foundations" in this issue.)

Software drivers, on the other hand, are device specific. Each device has different features and speaks a slightly different language. Each driver is written for a specific tablet and translates the tablet's language into something Wintab can understand. This lets developers implement support for a wide range of tablets without having to write support for several different devices.

Hello all,

I want to change the bitmap for the mouseover, mouseup and mousedown events in the CBitmapbutton. Please guide me.

Kind regards,

Create event handlers and write your code in them.

Dear Mike,

I add the event handler but when I move mouse to the dialog the event is triggered but I need to trigger the mouse move event whenever I place the mouse over the bitmapbutton. Please advice.

Thanks and Regards.

I want to implement a timer in MFC application so that I can set the time of ten seconds .
so after every ten seconds it fires and i can process my code after every ten seconds

SetTimer(NULL,10000,NULL);

Handle WM_TIMER in your Application

e.g.
void CTestDialogDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
AfxMessageBox("I m here") ;
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

it Should work for You.

Look at this (it is not specifically for MFC).

However if you do not need a high precision timer (like multimedia ones), you can use SetTimer of CWnd and handle the event fired overriding the OnTimer virtual function (or handle the WM_TIMER explicitly).

Although many people do suggest using the CTimer class See Here)[^]
The SetTimer function and related message and functions are not intended to be precise. Certainly you need to at least use more precise timers. Note that, except for special versions of Windows, Windows is not designed for real-time processing. Don't expect an application program to be able to respond reliably to timer events.
I would suggest you to read this[^] before you implement anything

Well, for a ten seconds timer, I suppose real-time system timing precision is not required.

BTW and IMO it was not a bad piece of information (to be voted down to 1), Sometimes you really need accurate timers and many a times you may not. Things look weird when you come to know that your timer is not getting fired every ten seconds and you want it to behave like that and that too after spending a lot of time in debugging.

After all it was only a piece of advise.
