Isn't DLLMain() a more appropriate place for initialization calls. Doesn't the documentation even say that? I have always initialized OLE and cleaned it up in DLLMain for DLL_THREAD_ATTACH/DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH and DLL_THREAD_DETACH/DLL_PROCESS_DETACH and have never had any problems.

hmm I thought one wasn't supposed to call any ole init funcs from dllmain.
Maybe this is irrelevant, but from the docs:
"Because there is no way to control the order in which in-process servers
are loaded or unloaded, do not call CoInitialize, CoInitializeEx, or
CoUninitialize from the DllMain function."
What thread is DllMain called on? Does it even make sense there? I dunno...
my brain is fried today (death in family...nightmare week).

in-process servers, hmm, I would like to see more of that. Do you have a link? I was not thinking about COM servers but just DLL's as it has been many years since I have developed any COM servers. I guess my recent experience has limited my thinking *that's weak*. In the recent past my DLL models have been for libraries that use COM servers rather than implementing them. I have never had a problem even though multiple init's are surely happening within the process.
Mark Salsbery wrote: What thread is DllMain called on?
The current process is creating a new thread. When this occurs, the system calls the entry-point function of all DLLs currently attached to the process. The call is made in the context of the new thread.

CoInitializeEx()[^] - Remarks, last line.
That's why I said it might be irrelevant to this case....maybe that just applies to COM servers.
Thanks for the link about the DllMain thread! I was just reading that

I did follow the code into AfxOleInit(), & since it's in the context of a DLL, it just sets a variable to -1 & returns TRUE w/out really doing anything. It assumes calling process as initialized OLE.

Hi i had posted this before too i have and image acquisition code that acquires image from CCD camera and stores it to pointer named "*memory"
pl_exp_start_seq(hCam, memory)

Since you're using CImage, you can simplify this and let the CImage class do the work.
Create a CImage object and use its Create() or CreateEx() methods to
create the DIB section. Then you can use the GetBits() and GetPitch()
methods to copy your pixel data into the DIB section.
Review the BITMAPINFOHEADER documentation (see biBitCount) for 16-bit support
in DIBs. Note 16-bit grayscale is not supported.
24 bit DIBs are straight-forward.

hey thnkz a ton Mark for the help but i had one more query if you could help i m trying to save an image from CCD camera dats sending data as pointer now is there a way i can convert this image data into TIFF fileand save it on disk , as TIFF supports 12bit to my knowledge if yes where can i look for help or could you help me with it, as currently i m converting it to bitmap and dats where i m lossing all my information in terms of resolution.

GDI+[^] supports loading/saving TIFF files but doesn't support 12-bit images.
16-bit color and grayscale images are supported, so you could upsample the
image data to 16bpp.
The most difficult option for working with TIFF files would be to write your own
loader/saver using the TIFF Specification[^]
An easier method would be to use a third party library, like LibTIFF[^]

I have a legacy VC++ 6.0 program that is quite large. Every dialog is user created, even though for many of the dialogs, there was a template created in the resources for the dialog. The problem I am having is that when I call a dialog that allows the user to input an ID number and a PIN to log on to this application, the first time the 'keypad' is displayed, it is displayed in the context of the template that was created, but the second time it is called, the 'keypad' is displayed in the 'user defined' context. Is there a way to get around this problem? It has been baffling me now for months, and granted, I am not a VC++ power user by any means.
Thanks for your assistance.

What happens if you remove the template dialog?

If I remove the template, then I get nothing when I call the keypad class.
The operation of this application is quite large. I'm not sure if you have some idea of what an "Instructor Operating System (IOS)" is to a flight simulator, but it controls every aspect of the flight simulator as far as settings go. In order to use this system, it was decided that it should be user and password protected, so that not just anyone could enter the cockpit and use the simulator. Before I added the password protection modules, the keypad came up as it was designed (being the user design and not just the template). The user design uses some of the template and adds on to it's functionality. It would take paragraphs to fully explain the inner workings of this application, so I'm not sure that you might be able to come up with a viable suggestion as to how to make this work correctly.
I was wondering if it was possible to 'create' the keypad at some other location that's not visible, and then delete it, so that when I call it again, it will not be the first time it has been called and created??

Are you using MFC?

Ok, so how are you instantiating and creating the "login" dialog?

I create an instantiation of CLogin clog. This creates the login dialog which has text boxes for holding the UserID and PIN values. There are buttons to select the entry for the UserId and PIN and this in turn calls the Keypad dialog. When the user enters the UserID and PIN numbers, they are placed in the text boxes (one at a time).

Do you then call Create(), CreateIndirect(), or InitModalIndirect()?

I don't call any of these, David. And none of these are called for Keypad as well.

I guess I've failed to understand the problem. What is meant by "user design?"

I guess that was a poor choice of wording on my part. Almost all the dialogs have been created from a template. So I guess the proper terminology would be "owner drawn".
John P.
|
|
|
|

Ok, so what is an "owner drawn" dialog, and how does it differ from a non-owner drawn dialog?

In order to explain that, I would have to enter the code for the module that from which just about all the other dialogs are derived. That would be a couple of pages of code that I doubt anyone would want me to paste on the Forum. Here's just a small example of what I'm referring to:
<br />
const UINT CIosDialog::BTN_ID[CIosDialog::NUM_BUTTONS] =<br />
{<br />
IDC_BN_0, IDC_BN_1, IDC_BN_2, IDC_BN_3, IDC_BN_4, <br />
IDC_BN_5, IDC_BN_6, IDC_BN_7, IDC_BN_8, IDC_BN_9, <br />
IDC_BN_10, IDC_BN_11, IDC_BN_12, IDC_BN_13, IDC_BN_14, <br />
IDC_BN_15, IDC_BN_16, IDC_BN_17, IDC_BN_18, IDC_BN_19, <br />
IDC_BN_20, IDC_BN_21, IDC_BN_22, IDC_BN_23, IDC_BN_24, <br />
IDC_BN_25, IDC_BN_26, IDC_BN_27, IDC_BN_28, IDC_BN_29,<br />
IDC_BN_30, IDC_BN_31, IDC_BN_32, IDC_BN_33, IDC_BN_34, <br />
IDC_BN_35, IDC_BN_36, IDC_BN_37, IDC_BN_38, IDC_BN_39,<br />
IDC_BN_40, IDC_BN_41, IDC_BN_42, IDC_BN_43, IDC_BN_44, <br />
IDC_BN_45, IDC_BN_46, IDC_BN_47, IDC_BN_48, IDC_BN_49, <br />
IDC_BN_50, IDC_BN_51, IDC_BN_52, IDC_BN_53, IDC_BN_54, <br />
IDC_BN_55, IDC_BN_56, IDC_BN_57, IDC_BN_58, IDC_BN_59, <br />
IDC_BN_60, IDC_BN_61, IDC_BN_62, IDC_BN_63, IDC_BN_64, <br />
IDC_BN_65, IDC_BN_66, IDC_BN_67, IDC_BN_68, IDC_BN_69<br />
};
The same is done for labels, text ids, etc.
Then for example in another file:
CEnvironmentControl::BTN_INFO_STRUCT CEnvironmentControl::btnInfo[] =<br />
{<br />
{true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, <br />
"B A R O P R E S S U R E\n-->\n", BaroPressure, CStringType, <br />
&baroPressureString,NULL,"", 0},<br />
<br />
{true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, <br />
"A I R P O R T T E M P\n-->\n", AirportTemp, FloatType, <br />
&trainerData.envInfo.CURRENT_AIRPORT_TEMP, NULL, " \272 C", 0}, <br />
<br />
{true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, <br />
"S U R F A C E W I N D S\n-->\n", SurfaceWinds, CStringType, <br />
&envData.surfaceWindsString, NULL, "", 0},<br />
<br />
{true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, <br />
"A L O F T W I N D S\n( 8000' MIN ALTITUDE )\n-->\n", AloftWinds, CStringType, <br />
&envData.aloftWindsString, NULL, "", 0},<br />
<br />
{true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, <br />
"W I N D G U S T S\n-->\n", WindGusts, FloatType, <br />
&envData.info.GUSTS, NULL, " kts", 0},<br />
<br />
{true, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_OFF, IDB_BLUE_BTN_WIDE_ON, <br />
"T U R B U L E N C E\n-->\n", Turbulence, IntegerType, <br />
&envData.info.TURBULENCE, NULL, "", 0},<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps explain it a little more. I know it's confusing. I originally, and still do, feel somewhat overwhelmed by this application.

So are these controls added to the dialog in OnInitDialog() or some other initialization function? The problem, then, is that they do not show up the first time the dialog is rendered but do show up each time thereafter. Is that correct?
