not entirely true... the latest BITMAPINFOHEADER specs include the option of a PNG or JPG encoded data in addition to the old formats.

You are correct... For the in-memory representation of the images, but for loading and saving of PNG (or JPEG for that matter) files? My guess is that is what the OP meant by "native support": the ability to easily load and save a PNG file just as easily as calling "::LoadImage( <pathtobmpfile> ):.
I know that ImportImage(...) does, but that requires an add-on (DirectX/DirectAnimation) to Windows.
Peace!

Hi I would like to know if anybody can help me out here.
I want to create a transparent Image By Performing all operation on a Memory dc.
This Is what I have done so far and it works ..The only problem is that I do not know how to initialise the Bitmap which is selected into the memory DC
My current code is as folllows..
DrawTrans(CDC* pDC, COLORREF crColor)
{
COLORREF m_crWhite = RGB(255,255,255);
COLORREF m_crBlack = 0;
COLORREF crOldBack = pDC->SetBkColor(m_crWhite);
COLORREF crOldText = pDC->SetTextColor(m_crBlack);
COLORREF crOldBkMode = pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
// Create two memory dcs for the image and the mask
CDC dcTrans, dcImage;
CDC dcFinal;
CBitmap bmpFinal;
bmpFinal.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDC,ImageWidth, nImageHeight);
dcFinal.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
dcImage.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
dcTrans.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC);
//m_PImageInfoData is structure contaiing
BITMAPINFO bmpInfo;
/*char* */ BYTE* pszData;
int nImageWidth = m_pImageInfoData->bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth;
int nImageHeight = m_pImageInfoData->bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight;
int nUsage = DIB_RGB_COLORS;
// Create the mask bitmap
CBitmap bitmapTrans, bitmapImage;
bitmapImage.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDC, ImageWidth, nImageHeight);
bitmapTrans.CreateBitmap(nImageWidth, nImageHeight, 1, 1, NULL);
CBitmap* pOldBitmapImage = dcImage.SelectObject(&bitmapImage);
// Select the mask bitmap into the appropriate dc
CBitmap* pOldBitmapTrans = dcTrans.SelectObject(&bitmapTrans);
CBitmap *pOldBmp = dcFinal.SelectObject(&bmpFinal);
StretchDIBits(dcImage.GetSafeHdc(), 0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight, 0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight, m_pImageInfoData->pszData,
&(m_pImageInfoData->bmpInfo),
DIB_RGB_COLORS, SRCCOPY);
dcImage.SetBkColor(crColor);
// Build mask based on transparent colour
dcTrans.BitBlt(0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
&dcImage,
0, 0, SRCCOPY);
dcFinal.StretchBlt(0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
&dcImage,
0, 0,
nImageWidth, nImageHeight, SRCINVERT);
dcFinal.StretchBlt(0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
&dcTrans,
0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
SRCAND);
dcFinal.StretchBlt(0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
&dcImage,
0, 0,
nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
SRCINVERT);
pDC->StretchBlt(0, 0, nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
&dcImage,
0, 0,
nImageWidth, nImageHeight,
SRCCOPY);
// Restore settings
dcTrans.SelectObject(pOldBitmapTrans);
dcImage.SelectObject(pOldBitmapImage);
dcFinal.SelectObject(pOldBmp);
bitmapTrans.DeleteObject();
bitmapImage.DeleteObject();
bmpFinal.DeleteObject();
pDC->SetBkMode(crOldBkMode);
pDC->SetTextColor(crOldText);
pDC->SetBkColor(crOldBack);
dcFinal.DeleteDC();
dcTrans.DeleteDC();
dcImage.DeleteDC();
This code works perfectly fine except for the garbage values that are displayed bcoz the Bitmap is not initialized...I would like to know what i can do to initialse the bitmap to NULL ...
Thanks ...

hello,
Im not sure why but VS keeps locking up on me.
The following code Compiles,links and executes if it is a Win32 Console App:
DWORD dwHigh,dwLow;
__asm
{
rdtsc
mov dwLow, eax
mov dwHigh, edx
}
However if this is a windowed app, MFC app it will lock up at various times, while running cl.exe or while linking.
rdtsc moves the Time Stamp counter into the above registers
why does this lock VS up while compiling???
|

Please elaborate. Is it VC that is "locking up" on you, or is it the app that "will lock up at various times"? You state both alternatives, and somehow I find this hard to believe. What does "lock up" mean? Attach the debugger to your hung exe and see where it's hung.
Are you using a single or multi-CPU system? Remember that the TSC is CPU bound. Also keep in mind that you should serialize the CPU if doing any FP operations in proximity of this call (e.g. CPUID with EAX = 0).

VS locks up on me as a stated.
Visual Studio itself "locks up" during compiling.
If i go to the task manager it states Visual sutdio is not responding . however it is using about 99% of the processor.
I guesse the compiler is in a loop but i dont understand how those three lines of code could put it in a loop.
As well as i stated. It will work perfect in a console only app.
Any type of windowed app.. MFC or just old win32 API will lock the COMPILER up.
Im not doing any floating point ops.
Basicly if i use the app wiard and make a generic MFC dialog app and i insert this code anywhere in the premade code. . InitDialog(), OnButton() where ever i put this code will lock VS up.
Im running an AMD 500 on XP home editition.. VS Enterprise. .with service packs.

i did try this on another machine. AMD 900. .
and it works fine. ..
guesse it something with the hardware. . or maybe i got to reinstall.

I want to do something (minimize to tray) when a user hits my window's standard normal Minimize button on the title bar of the window. How do I trap this minimize box and call my tray functions instead?

My prog seems to get that right off the bat after loading. I assume that's normal? Any quick way to ensure that it's the user that clicked the minimize box and not some internal MFC or Windows thing?

maybe in your first ShowWindow you are passing SW_MINIMIZE as the nCmdShow parameter.

Hello everybody!
Who knows, what codes are generated with multimedia and the Internet keys of keyboards?
If for different keyboards they various where to take the utility for viewing the codes generated by the keyboard!

Hi,
Is there any way to get the name of the font file for a given font along with its attributes like bold, italic, etc.?
Thanks,
Krishnan

GetTextMetrics often gives you all you need to know about a font. Why would you want to know a fonts filename?

I'm working on a project that will allow a trace window in release mode, by extending IOStream functionality. Rather than have people have to learn my new modifiers, etc., I am also writing macros to replace TRACE for different circumstances. I want to have a trace window per file, and a global one. I also want a variable watch window, so I can send a variable in such a way that instead of scrolling off in the trace window, it stays visible.
My problem is I'd like to define a macro so I can do something like
VARTRACE(myVariable);
and have the macro pass both the variable and it's name to the stream. Is there a way I can pass the name of the variable given to the macro as an argument ?
Thanks.

I may be totally off base here, but I think you are looking for the ## token pasting operator.

The # preprocessor operator quotes a macro argument:
#define VARTRACE(var) YourTraceFunc ( #var, var ) So VARTRACE(myVariable) expands to YourTraceFunc( "myVariable", myVariable );

I suspect this should be really easy - it's just how!!!!
I have a single selection list control, in report view. The list may or may not fill the control. I want to ensure that one row in the list is always selected, ie the user cannot clickin the white space under the last item in the list, and deselect.
I had hoped there was just a style or flag I could set for this, but cannot find one. I have also looked at handling the NM_CLICK reflected message, but it appears this is too late.
Any help or ideas about how to deal with this would be appreciated!!!!

Just a guess, but handling the LVN_ITEMCHANGING, LVN_ITEMCHANGED, and LVM_SETITEMSTATE notification messages might be a good place to start. (See the Help for how to handle these notification messages.)
Peace!

I'd like to know what I need to be able to do the
following. I mean can I do all these using plain Win 32 API and a little MFC or
do I need to use some DirectX SDK or OpenGL 2d/3d/whatever?
- Read a PNG file
- Apply a circular mask, using the contrast between
the light subject and the dark background to size and position the mask - Apply a rectangular mask similarly, possibly
rotating the subject to be perpendicular to the canvas - Apply a feather to mask
- Black fill the background leaving the subject alone
- Write back the PNG to disk
I been asked by my boss whether all this is possible
and having no previous experience in graphics I am stuck. If it involves having
to download some complicated SDKs then I'll probably tell my boss that it is not
feasible. But if it can be done using MFC/API and maybe just a little bit of
Open GL I can make some serious attempts
Any help offered is immensely respected.
