I am trying to get a small Windows program to follow the example in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533844.aspx , which reads an image from a .BMP and writes it to a .JPG . I have got it to compile, except for one persistent error: "'GetEncoderClsid': identifier not found". (This is the line afer the comment "// Get the CLSID of the JPEG encoder.".) Please, is this name GetEncoderClsid mistyped in the original? or what? Thanks.

did you forget to forward declare it before the main() function ?

INT GetEncoderClsid(const WCHAR* format, CLSID* pClsid);  // helper function

or you didn't didn't include the function implementation, which is shown on a link above the code :

"The main function relies on the helper function GetEncoderClsid, which is shown in Retrieving the Class Identifier for an Encoder[^]"

Thanks. I inserted the line

INT GetEncoderClsid(const WCHAR* format, CLSID* pClsid); // helper function

and it caused successful compilation but this link error:

unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl GetEncoderClsid(wchar_t const *,struct _GUID *)" (?GetEncoderClsid@@YAHPB_WPAU_GUID@@@Z) referenced in function "long __stdcall WndProc(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)" (?WndProc@@YGJPAUHWND__@@IIJ@Z)

YES !

follow the link[^] I gave you, which I got from you original link. the code of the method is there. copy it and paste it in your project.

I have the free version of Visual C++ 2008.

In reply to this query, you told me to read http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533798.aspx about GDI+.

I went from there to its subpage about "Setting JPEG Compression Level", which has an example coding. Thus, I first inserted the line
#include <gdiplus.h>
in a small test program. The result was 104 compile errors and 8 warnings, of which the first were:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\include\gdiplusimaging.h(74) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
...\include\gdiplusimaging.h(74) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const char [37]' to 'int'
1> There is no context in which this conversion is possible

...\include\gdiplusimaging.h(280) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'id'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please, what should I do now?

Probably you have to remove

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

in your stdafx.h header (or wherever else it is in your project).

I then inserted the instructions:

GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);
Image* image = new Image(L"C:\\Poser4\\~~~~~.bmp");

and the result was successful compilation and these 7 linking faults:

Re: How to call Windows's built-in routines to read and write JPG files?

You have to link to Gdiplus.lib too.
Select Project properties menu item, the choose Configuration Porperties->Linker->Command Line and add Gdiplus.lib to the additional options textbox.

Hi,

I am trying to implement my own dialog with its own style and myDialog wraps CDialog.

All works fine except Title bar buttons:

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2269/mydialoggv0.jpg[^]

(as you see on the picture)

When i minimize or maximize myDialog, some times its CDialog is drawing its titlebar buttons above my buttons.

Does anyone knows anything about this?

Thanks,
Cem

you can remove WS_MINIMIZEBOX and WS_MAXIMIZEBOX style for Dialog. then draw them youself.

Are you have gtalk ? please add me: xiangyangzhao@gmail.com

Can anyone please give me some advice?
