Ah - so you don't want the vector based stuff, you want Brightness/Contrast ? Probably you need to look at your brightness/contrast algorithms, and typically apply brightness before contrast.

There is also a COM interface for image processing, I've never used it, but I'm sure it would do brightness/contrast the same as Word does.

Using the USB port

I am looking for information on using a USB port as a substitute for the RS232 comm port. Do Win98 and Win2000 already support that or will a device driver have to written? If so where is a good place to get info?

Happy programming!!

I've never programmed for NT/2000 before, and I kinda don't have an NT/2000 box at my immediate disposal. Can someone tell me if FindWindow works the same on both 98 and NT/2000? My app is giving me grief when i try to run on win2k.

Thanx,
Stephen Caldwell

In fact, NT has two versions of FindWindow (as well as other API functions). FindWindowW uses Unicode, FindWindowA uses ASCII.

stdout flushing

15-Aug-01 14:12

I've been having a problem recently that has really been bugging me; for some reason, when I use printf or cout, the output will not appear on the console - I assume this is because stdout is not being flushed. Any idea why this is? I don't want to have to call fflush(stdout) after every printf!

Stdout is normally line-buffered, so end your printfs with \n. When printing to cout, add a "cout << endl" to get a newline.

CListBox

I am using CListBox::SetTopIndex() to make sure I can view the last entry in a list box. I would like the view to adjust so the last entry is shown about half way between the top of the bottom of the list box control. I created a quick formula to do this, however, I found that using SetTopIndex() will make the last entry visible, but no matter what I put as the index for SetTopIndex(), it always puts the last entry at the bottom of the list box control. Visible yes, what I want, no.

Any ideas?

Thanks
John

Do I understand correctly, you want the last item entered into a list box to be displayed centered vertically? There are no other entries in the list box below this one?

If this is what I understand then you can't. What you may have to do is add empty strings to pad the listbox and move the item up.

Dumb question.. If I have a dialog type application called "A".. and I create dialog box "B" within the same app. I then create a member variable for "B" in "A"s Class how can I update a control on "A" from "B".. for example lets say I have a listbox on dialog "A" and I input a string into an edit box on dialog "B" from "B" I want to add the item to the listbox on "A" with out actually pulling the string from "A" and inserting it.. can this done or do I have to update the variable and add it while in "A"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could do that with ::SetDlgItemText(..)
Or eaven send a window message to a control

How do I select a peice of a bmp to another file?

Craig Miller15-Aug-01 12:47

Re: How do I select a peice of a bmp to another file?

15-Aug-01 12:47

Hi,

I currently have a bitmap that is being held in a CDC and I would like to get a peice of that bitmap and save it to another bitmap. For instance, let's say that I have a bitmap that is 100 x 100 pixels. I want to select region 25, 25, 50, 50 copy it to another DC I guess? and then save it out to another .bmp file.

Does anyone know how to do this? I have the coordinates of what I want to copy to the new bitmap but don't know how to do it.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Craig

Re: How do I select a peice of a bmp to another file?

15-Aug-01 13:26

Create a new CBitmap of the size you want, a new CDC to hold the CBitmap, and then use BitBlt to copy across the section you want.

Hi Christian,

Here is what I've got so far:

CDC dcMemory;
dcMemory.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
				
// Select the bitmap into the in-memory device context.
COXDIB imagePiece;
imagePiece.CreateEmptyDIB(1, 55, 50);
CBitmap* pOldBitmap = imagePiece.MakeBitmap(&imagePiece, &dcMemory, CSize(55, 50));

//dc is a previously loaded bitmap (the full size bitmap)		
dc.BitBlt(0, 0, 55, 50, &dcMemory, x, y, SRCCOPY);

CFile imageFile("c:\\temp\\imageManip\\testResult.bmp", CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite);

imagePiece.Write(&imageFile);
				
dcMemory.SelectObject(pOldBitmap);

When I look at the image that I created it is just all black, nothing else.

Am I on the right track?

Thanks,

Craig

Re: How do I select a peice of a bmp to another file?

15-Aug-01 13:45

What is a C0XDIB ? I assume a DIBSection wrapper ? x and y are valid values ? I can't comment on what you're doing wrong, but as therest looks fine I'd assume it's in the section:

// Select the bitmap into the in-memory device context.
COXDIB imagePiece;
imagePiece.CreateEmptyDIB(1, 55, 50);
CBitmap* pOldBitmap = imagePiece.MakeBitmap(&imagePiece, &dcMemory, CSize(55, 50));

if x and y are good values, because I have no idea what the syntax for this class you're using is. I'd bet on the last line if I had to make a guess, but only because CreateEmtyDIB is obviously working ;0

Craig Miller15-Aug-01 13:58

Re: How do I select a peice of a bmp to another file?

15-Aug-01 13:58

ok, so let's say I try something like this:

CDC dcMemory;
dcMemory.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);

dc.BitBlt(0, 0, 55, 50, &dcMemory, x, y, SRCCOPY);

CBitmap bitmap;

CFile imageFile("c:\\temp\\imageManip\\testResult.bmp", CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite);

imageFile.Close();

Given that, how would I copy the dcMemory into the new CBitmap? After that, how do I write out the CBitmap to a file?

Sorry for such basic questions,

Craig

Christian Graus15-Aug-01 14:08

Re: How do I select a peice of a bmp to another file?

15-Aug-01 14:08

The way you were trying - by calling CreateBitmap on the bitmap, with the bits per pixel of the old bitmap and the size you want. Select it into a new DC and call BitBlt, just like you were doing.

For saving, if you don't want to use GDI+, there is a recent submission to this site that saves bitmaps in multiple formats.
