Environment: VC++ Introduction I have written this article to capture a Windows image into a bitmap file that will support all PaintBrush tools and Thumbnail Views of Windows Explorer. I have found many programmers suffering from this problem, including me, until I wrote this article. The problem was that a Windows image is captured and […]

I thought this would be a good time to look ahead at what is coming from Microsoft in 2003. Microsoft has indicated the following releases and milestones for this new year. It will be interesting to see which of these make it and which — if any — don’t. Expect the release of Windows® .NET […]

Click here for a larger image. Environment: VC6 Why XMLite? In my previous project, I needed a simple XML parser. I worked with the jabber server. Becase I have no time, I worked with the jabber client library called jabbercom, a Win32 com-based DLL module. The jabber (http://www.jabber.org) protocol is based on XML. But, that […]

by Kenn Scribner of Wintellect Accelerator tables aren’t the sexiest thing to code in Microsoft .NET. But ask any professional user interface designer and you’ll find that keyboard acceleration is usually considered a critical application feature. Rare is the user that has not placed data on the clipboard using Ctrl+C and pasted it into another […]

Environment: VC6 SP5 This article suggests a way to subclass the listviews edit control, but unlike the article “Editing listview Subitems Using LVM_GETEDITCONTROL,” it uses a much simpler and hopefully better method. Give it a try! Vars public: CSubEdit m_editWnd; int m_item; int m_subitem; CSubeditListView::CSubeditListView() { m_subitem = 0; } Detect subitem mouse clicks void […]

Environment: VC6 SP4, VC.NET This article briefly describes a collection of template classes that can be used in digital signal analysis. This collection consists of four classes: Template class WFastHT—implements algorithm of Fast Haara’s Transformation (by Anatoly Beletsky). The template has two type parameters: T_in—type of input values (input signal) T_out—type of output values (spectrum) […]

Environment: VC6, MFC, Win32 SDK Reading and Writing Disks in Windows 95+ Many methods exist to read disks in Win 95+. I have chosen the thunking of DLLs to read the disks. This is nothing but executing the real-mode BIOS Int 13h from within the protected mode. This way, we can read the disks as […]

From Kate Gregory’s Codeguru column, “Using Visual C++ .NET“. In an earlier column, I showed you how to use the ATL CImage class to dramatically simplify working with images in Classic C++ applications. This time around, I’ll create the same application as a Managed C++ Windows application and use System.Drawing.Image to do the heavy lifting. […]

Environment: VC6 SP4, 2000. Follow these 10 easy steps to build the OutLookRichEdit control: Insert a rich edit control into the dialog. Call AfxInitRichEdit() in the InitInstance of the App class or in InitDialog. If it does not exist, copy OutLookRichEdit.cpp and OutLookRichEdit.h to the project directory. Click the menu choice Project-Add to Project-Files and […]

Environment: VC6, MFC This is a RLE compression routine, written in MFC. I wrote this because I cannot find handy code for such a thing. RLE compression is useful when saving a SIMPLE Windows bitmap. My implementation is rather stupid and not optimized. Therefore, if the source bitmap is complex (like the one in the […]
