if your using window xp or later you can use the PrintWindow() function instead of the
MemDc.BitBlt( 0, 0, sc.cx, sc.cy, &cdc_source, 0, 0, SRCCOPY );
Other options are sending the WM_PRINTCLIENT message to the window.
|
|
|
|

I've replaced the line
"MemDc.BitBlt( 0, 0, sc.cx, sc.cy, &cdc_source, 0, 0, SRCCOPY );"
with the following line
"PrintWindow(cdc_source, (HDC)MemDc);"
Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to compile. The error is
"error C2065: 'PrintWindow' : undeclared identifier".
Do you know how to correct it?
FYI: I'm using VS6 and I've installed MS Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2.

the first parameter is handle to the window not the device context.

You have to set the _WIN32_WINNT version. For this take Project Settings->C++->In the preprocessor definition edit box, put _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 and rebuild

I've corrected the line to "PrintWindow(m_player.m_hWnd, (HDC)MemDc);" and
updated the preprocessor definition as "_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501,WIN32,_DEBUG,_WINDOWS,_AFXDLL,_MBCS".
After a full rebuild, I received the following error,
": error C2065: 'PrintWindow' : undeclared identifier"
How should I correct this problem?

Have you set the include directories and lib directories of the Platform SDK 2003 in the msdev->Tools->Options->Directories->Include file ???
|

Thanks for your reply. I got it to compile after installing Platform SDK Feb 2003 which is compatible with VS C++ 6.
Below is the updated function.
Is it correct? Would it leak any resources?
How should I clean up bitmap_output after use?
<br />
void CopyToBitmap(CWMPPlayer4& player, CBitmap& bitmap_output)<br />
{<br />
CClientDC player_dc(&player);<br />
CRect player_rc;<br />
player.GetClientRect( player_rc );<br />
CSize player_sc(player_rc.Width(), player_rc.Height());<br />
bitmap_output.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&player_dc, player_sc.cx, player_sc.cy);<br />
<br />
CDC* dc_p = this->GetDC();<br />
CDC bitmap_dc;<br />
bitmap_dc.CreateCompatibleDC( dc_p );<br />
CBitmap *prev_bitmap_p = bitmap_dc.SelectObject( &bitmap_output );<br />
PrintWindow( player.m_hWnd, (HDC)bitmap_dc, PW_CLIENTONLY );<br />
bitmap_dc.SelectObject( prev_bitmap_p );<br />
ReleaseDC( dc_p );<br />
}

This code is ok. No need to cleanyp the bitmap_output. the destrucor of the CBitmap will take care of it.
C. Tam wrote: CDC* dc_p = this->GetDC();
I think this code is not needed. You can use the player_dc itself.
|
|

|

I've updated the code to use player_dc as below. Thanks for inputs.
During testing, I've discovered that the app does not work all the time.
So far, it works on XPProSP2 hosted on MS Virtual PC 2004.
However, it doesn't work on XPProSP2 running on a real computer. The CBitmap's output is black.
How do I resolve this problem?
<br />
void CopyToBitmap(CWMPPlayer4& player, CBitmap& bitmap_output)<br />
{<br />
CClientDC player_dc(&player);<br />
CRect player_rc;<br />
player.GetClientRect( player_rc );<br />
CSize player_sc(player_rc.Width(), player_rc.Height());<br />
bitmap_output.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&player_dc, player_sc.cx, player_sc.cy);<br />
<br />
CDC bitmap_dc;<br />
bitmap_dc.CreateCompatibleDC( &player_dc );<br />
CBitmap *prev_bitmap_p = bitmap_dc.SelectObject( &bitmap_output );<br />
PrintWindow( player.m_hWnd, (HDC)bitmap_dc, PW_CLIENTONLY );<br />
bitmap_dc.SelectObject( prev_bitmap_p );<br />
}<br />

I found no reasond for this code to work. Did you debug? Its dosent work means any function failed?
How ever try the next option, WM_PRINTCLIENT 
|

I've found a workaround for this problem as quoted below.
"During testing, I've discovered that the app does not work all the time.

On a real computer's display control panel, reduces the levels of hardware acceleration controlled by device drivers.
By the way, when I run the app on a Windows 2000 machine, an error message is displayed (shown below) before it is shutdown.
"app.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
"The procedure entry point PrintWindow could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll".
Could you show me how to display a more user friendly error message insteads of the one above?

Definitly it will come because the Printwindow() function is suppported only in windows XP or a later OS. It will not work in windows 2000. As I said earlier, you can use the WM_PRINTCLIENT message for the same purpose. It will work in windows 95 also.

I've replaced the following line
PrintWindow(m_player.m_hWnd, (HDC)MemDc, PW_CLIENTONLY);
with
::SendMessage(m_player.m_hWnd, WM_PRINTCLIENT, (WPARAM)(HDC)MemDc, PRF_CHILDREN | PRF_CLIENT | PRF_ERASEBKGND | PRF_NONCLIENT);.
Unfortunately, it no longer copies the image.
How should I correct it?
|
|
|
|
|
May be a problem with the m_player window. Try passing the handle of another window and verify the image is correct or not.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, you're right. It's the problem with the m_player window. I works on a CStatic window. Do you know why?
In the meantime, I've rolled back to PrintWindow API which will only work on Windows XP.
As I've mentioned before, when I run the app on a Windows 2000 machine, an error message is displayed (shown below) before it is shutdown.
"app.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
"The procedure entry point PrintWindow could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll".
Is it possible replace the above message with my own custom one?

C. Tam wrote: Do you know why?
May be the m_player window is not using the usual paint messages to draw the window.
C. Tam wrote: Is it possible replace the above message with my own custom one?
You can if you dynamically load this function. For this first declare the function as below
typedef BOOL ( WINAPI *MyPrintWindow)(IN HWND hwnd, IN HDC hdcBlt, IN UINT nFlags);
Then
To check whether the function is available or not, you an do like this,
HMODULE hUser32Module = LoadLibrary( _T("User32.dll"));<br />
MyPrintWindow p = (MyPrintWindow)GetProcAddress( hUser32Module, "PrintWindow");<br />
if( p == 0 )<br />
{<br />
AfxMessageBox( _T("Your custom message here"));<br />
return;<br />
}
And if you want to call the printwindow function,
p( m_player.m_hWnd, (HDC)MemDc, PW_CLIENTONLY);

If there's aother window on top of the one you are copying pixels from then you're going to get
the pixels of the obscurring window. Is this what's happening?
If you want this to work you'll need to keep a bitmap copy of the window's contents so when you
receive a timer event you can use that bitmap instead of scraping the screen.

The anwser is Yes to your question "If there's aother window on top of the one you are copying pixels from then you're going to get the pixels of the obscurring window. Is this what's happening?"
Thanks for your reply, on the point of using the bitmap copy instead of scraping the screen.

This is probably a very simple question, but I'm new to ATL.
Is it possible to mix code that uses the MFC library with code that uses the ATL library?
I've tried a simple example, but it won't compile. I get the following error:
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc\include\cstringt.h(2508) : error C2872: 'ULONG_PTR' : ambiguous symbol

Yes. It is possible to mix ATL and MFC but it can be very tricky. It's a few years since I did any of this, ATL 3.0 and MFC 4.2 in those days. It worked best if you approached it from the ATL point of view. As in start with an ATL based app and add MFC code to it rather than the other way around.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

I mix them all the time: if I use MFC I use ATL too. I've never had any trouble.

Hi
I am quite new to MFC. Well i have two radio buttons over the form . For each radio button i have written function like under OnRadio1() and OnRadio2(). Its basically when i select one ...all the edit control which are not used gets deactivated. So i have written code for it.
The only problem i am facing is that now i have to add event handler. So what should i select BN_CLICKED, BN_DBCLICKED, BN_KILLFOCUS etc Well i dont think i could use BN_CLICKED n all as it is radio button...
So could any one help me out in this simple problem...
I am stucked at the moment. And need to get on with it...So any quick reply would help me out in continuing with my work...
Waiting for reply
Thanks

A radio button is a button, of course. It differs from the 'usual' push-like buttons by its BS_RADIOBUTTON style.
So you can use BN_CLICKED message;
// inside BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP and END_MESSAGE_MAP pair
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_RADIO1, OnRadio1)
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_RADIO2, OnRadio2)

I cannot understand what are you searching for...
You really need to make a further effort with your English or, alternatively, post and example of what are you trying to do.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.
