Environment: VC6 SP5, NT4 SP6a Overview The usual approach to investigate DCOM issues is analyzing network packets via network monitor [NetMon]. Unfortunately this method has the following drawbacks: Being quite good in displaying SSP and DCE RPC packets NetMon leaves DCOM itself unparsed showing DCOM data in hexadecimal stubs. It is hard to use NetMon […]

http://www.tonysopensource.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Environment: The code was developed under win 2k but has been tested on windows 98 with the DirectX 7 SDK Introduction The aim of this project is to provide a simple framework to get people started with 3D programming. This project only sets out to initialise DirectX and place the developer in the position […]

Environment: VC6, WindowsNT4, Windows2000 1. Purpose Simple and fast communication between all types of MFC Applications on a single or multiple computers in Windows NT. 2. Main features Data transmission from Clients to Server, their processing and results return, if needed. Data transmission from Server to Clients informing them about any event. Different schemes of […]

When you are developing applications you may encounter chunks of processing that make your application seem sluggish. For example, you may have a process intensive startup process in your windows application, but it is not necessary for the process to complete before you allow user-interaction. In VB .Net you do not have to pull out […]

Environment: Windows NT/2000, Visual C++ 6.0 Purpose: One day while running an optimization utility against a VC++ project, I had the need for a tool that would allow me to cleanly shut down an out-of-process COM server. Without modifying the original source code, the best way that came to mind would be to simply post […]

Environment: General Here is an example of a switch statement: switch( parameter ) { case 1: { … } ; break; case 2: { … } ; break; case 3: { … } ; break; …… default: { … } ; break; } If one looks at the assembly code generated for this, one notices […]

Environment:VC6 SP4 + Processor pack I loved Eran Yariv’s two pass scaling code. However, it wasn’t quite fast enough for my needs even after implementing the posted corrections. I bit the bullet and taught myself inline assembler to speed things up. This optimized code is between about 1.5 and 12 times as fast as the […]

Environment: VC++ Part of this class was specifically designed for all the projects out there that need an imagelist that will retrieve system file icons, just like the explorer-like example provided. CShellList is much simpler than using shell namespace objects which only bring frustation and confusion. The other part of the class was designed to […]

Click here for larger image Environment: eg VC6, WIN32 Introduction This article describes a C++ class library to help programmers implement their own IRC client (like the famous mIRC). The protocols supported by this class library are : RFC #2812 – IRC Client RFC #1413 – Identification Protocol Features Maintaining a TCP/IP connection to a […]

Environment: Windows 98/NT Introduction This article grew out of my dissatisfaction with the “Copy a DIB to a JPEG File” article I wrote a few years ago. The code presented in that article had a few errors, and was not well formatted on the web page, due to my inexperience in posting articles. The main […]

Environment: VC6 SP5, Win2000 SP2 There are a lot of articles in Codeguru or MSDN that discuss how to insert a bitmap file inside the RichEdit control. Those articles are not working when the image is in the resource or within a handle (HBITMAP). My article is based on the MSDN code “HOWTO: Insert a […]

Environment: VC 5-6 , Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Me Recently I had to develop a Graphics Software and wanted to add support for drawing any N-sided Polygon. When I started, I thought that I would have to develop code for every ‘N’ separately. After churning my head in trigonometry for a couple of hours, I realized that effectively […]
