the Bitmap needs to be compatible with the DC you're BitBlt'ing to. when you use the memory DC for the C*C*Bitmap call, the bitmap created will be monochrome. if you use an output DC, it will match the settings of that DC.

or, as Microsoft puts it:

It working definitely better than before, but what I am trying to do now is, rather than doing this work everytime I update/refresh the window, is there any way I can reduce this work, but doing this only once for each zoom constant? For now, this is how it goes..

CClientDC dc(this);<br />
CDC tempDC;<br />
tempDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);<br />
CBitmap tempBMP;<br />
tempBMP.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&dc, w*zoom_const,h*zoom_const);<br />
tempDC.SelectObject(&tempBMP);	<br />
dib->Draw(&tempDC, 0,0,w*zoom_const,h*zoom_const,0,0,w,h);		<br />
dc.BitBlt( 0, 0, w*zoom_const,h*zoom_const, &tempDC, sp.x, sp.y, SRCCOPY);

where sp is the scroll position. But lets say I scrolled the image, in this case the zoom constant is still the same, I just need to update the position of the image wrt view window. I see stretching the bitmap all the time is very time consuming Unsure | :~

create a CBitmap object member of your window class. every time your zoom level changes:

1. delete the contents of that CBitmap
2. create a new (compatible) bitmap of the appropriate size
3. do your StretchBlt onto that

the code to do that is basically the same as what you have above, but you drawing into m_zoomedBitmap (or whatever) instead of tempBMP, and you use StretchBlt there.

then, when it's time to do the OnPaint/OnDraw, draw that member CBitmap with a normal BitBlt.

I tried exactly what you said (I hope), declared a CBitmap member in Document class and using it instead of tempBMP like below..

CClientDC dc(this);<br />
if (zoom_const >1)<br />
{<br />
CDC tempDC;<br />
tempDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);<br />
if (m_bZoomUpdate)//update bitmap for the first time when zoom_const changes<br />
{<br />
GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&dc, w*zoom_const,h*zoom_const);<br />
tempDC.SelectObject(&GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP);<br />
dib->Draw(&tempDC, 0,0,w*GetDocument()->zoom_const,h*GetDocument()->zoom_const,0,0,w,h);		<br />
m_bZoomUpdate = false;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
tempDC.SelectObject(&GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP);<br />
dc.BitBlt( 0, 0, w*zoom_const,h*zoom_const, &tempDC, sp.x, sp.y, SRCCOPY);<br />
}<br />
else //zoom_const =1<br />
dib->Draw(&dc, 0,0,w*zoom_const,h*zoom_const,sp.x,sp.y,w,h);

It works... and the drawing is as normal with no delays... Now time for getting the exact location of a pixel in zoom mode D'Oh! | :doh:

It's working fine on both small and large image files. But the only problem that I found is the stretching doesnt work after reaching certain zoom level. I tried 3 different sizes of images,
one is 1000x1000 and it works fine for the whole zoom range that I have (1x - 5x)
second image is 3616x3581 and it works fine untill 2.1x and shows only a white image after that (at 2.2x its dimensions are 7593x7520)
and the third image is 5540x3615 and it works only untill 1.7x and from then shows only white image (at 1.8x its dimensions are 9972x6507).

Is there any limit on the max size of a compatible bitmap that you can create??

yes, definitely.

it varies from system to system, though.

I am back with a problem closely related to this topic... everything is fine and was able to magnify the images upto the point when I load images of 40MB in size. Then this function behaves differently on different machines (same OS) except on one machine with 64bit OS (where it can magnify to any scale without problem). On some machines it doesn't even magnify one step and on some machines it magnifies to few steps (after that it just shows either white or black frame when you try to magnify). Here is the code that I am currently using-

if (GetDocument()->zoom_const >100)// if magnification is more than 100%
{
  CDC tempDC;
  tempDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);			
  if (GetDocument()->m_bZoomUpdate)//magnify the image
  {	
    GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP.DeleteObject(); //m_zoomedBMP is an object of CBitmap
    GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&dc, w*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100,h*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100);
    tempDC.SelectObject(&GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP);
    dib->Draw(&tempDC, 0,0,w*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100,h*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100,0,0,w,h);
    GetDocument()->m_bZoomUpdate = false; //reset the magnification flag
  }
  else //otherwise just redraw the already magnified image
    tempDC.SelectObject(&GetDocument()->m_zoomedBMP);
  dc.BitBlt( 0, 0, w*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100,h*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100, &tempDC, sp.x, sp.y, SRCCOPY);
}
else // draw the image at 100%
  dib->Draw(&dc, 0,0,w*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100,h*GetDocument()->zoom_const/100,sp.x,sp.y,w,h);

Is there any other way to do this more efficiently and overcome this problem.

thanks,

you'll probably need to start cropping the input image down to the part that you're going to draw, instead of trying to resize the whole thing.

I don't even want to think about how to do that, it's just a bad idea. Try thinking of a better solution, see if that helps.

Get the window rect (GetWindowRect) of your main dialog.
Get the window rect (GetWindowRect) of your child dialog.

Do a bit of computation on those values, taking into account the border and title bar sizes and you MoveWindow or SetWindowPos to move the child window below the main dialog.

A combination of these APIs should do everything you need:

GetDeviceCaps() - get screen dimensions
ShowWindow() - show and hide windows
GetWindowRect() - get dimensions of windows
MapWindowPoints() - convert window points/dimensions relative to other windows
MoveWindow() - Move/resize windows

I Need some help creating HBITMAP

//PIXEL INFORMARTION
unsigned char * t=AreaBIR.GetItemData();

m_winImage.SetPixelsFromData(200, 152, t, false);
m_winImage.IntervalEqualize(0,240,0,255,0,255);
::InvalidateRect(NULL,NULL,FALSE);//Show image on screen

BITMAPINFOHEADER BMIH;
BMIH.biSize = 40;
BMIH.biBitCount = 8;
BMIH.biPlanes = 1;
BMIH.biCompression = 0;
BMIH.biWidth = 152;
BMIH.biHeight = 200;
BMIH.biSizeImage = 30400;

HDC pDC = ::GetDC(0);
HBITMAP hbitmap = CreateDIBSection(pDC->GetSafeHdc(), (CONST BITMAPINFO*)&BMIH, DIB_RGB_COLORS,
(void**)t, NULL, 0);

//Here write the bitmap to a .bmp file (This function works fine)
WriteBMPFile(hbitmap, "C:\\temp.bmp",pDC);
}

The variable "t" contains the pixels information of a fingerprint. I use "t" to display a fingerprint image in a window and works fine, however when I use "t" to create a HBITMAP object, and I pass the HBITMAP object to the WriteBMPFile function, a BLACK image is generated. I believe that my problem is in the creation of the HBITMAP object. Any help will be aprreciated

BTW I found the implementation of WriteBMPFile in http://www.saturnsoftmills.com/Articles/A6.pdf

Thanks
