Visual C++ :: Grab Screen(s) And Invert Their Brightness
Jan 15, 2014
I have a visual impairment that makes it very hard for me to use the standard dark text on white background themes. I use High Contrast but many apps don't query the system for colors (I.E. aren't theme-aware) and consequently display pale or dark text on a white background regarding of the theme selected.
There is a product called ZoomText that allows for inverting the brightness of everything being displayed. I just use a normal theme, let all apps display naturally, and then invert the entire screens brightness.
But ZoomText doesn't support multiple monitors. And it does a lot more than I need. And it hogs the CPU. And it costs a lot.
Looking for some of the APIs that I need to capture the bitmaps for all monitors, invert the brightness of all pixels, and refresh the display contexts. And make that happen so smoothly that it appears like there is nothing going on behind the scenes. (DirectX, OpenGL, ???)

I have a file that contain different content, some lines inside that file looks like that :
Time : xx:xx:xx
Time : xx:xx:xx
So, I want to grab lines that start with "Time : " and put them inside a list<string> for later use. I am using windows so I don't know if the newline character is '
' or '
' also I don't want my grabed line contain any special character.
I have this code, but didn't work well because some special characters remain inside the string.
Code:
string buf;
list<string> ls;
ifstream read("test.txt", ios_base::binary);
while(!read.eof())
{
getline(read,buf,'

I need to calculate the average brightness of a defined area in a bitmap. Is there a way to select the area which a watermark is going to be applied to, and then find it's average brightness?
I have the below code, but at the moment Color pixel is displaying 0, 0, 0 for RGB, I believe i'm doing it wrong, I have tried to use this as a reference but use part of the image instead of the entire image.
See Company Watermark region!
public void addWatermark() {
Image source = Image.FromFile("C:UsersMartyn BallDesktopImages 38.JPG");
Image watermark1 = Image.FromFile(Glb_venueWatermark);
Image watermark2 = Image.FromFile(Glb_companyWatermark);
//Get width and height of image
int sourceWidth = source.Width; int sourceHeight = source.Height;
[code]....

I have my ListBox working and I'm able to select the items I want to keep. I'm trying to now get the Invert of the current selection for the items to delete.
I tried using:
if (lstLinePatterns == null) return;
for (int i = 0; i < lstLinePatterns.Items.Count; i++)
lstLinePatterns.Items[i].Selected = !lstLinePatterns.Items[i].Selected;
But
.Selected
is giving me an object error.
Is there an easy way to just inverse current selection?
Current Code:
private void btnSelectNonRvt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Unselects any Items to Prevent Infinite Loop
lstLinePatterns.SelectedIndex = -1;
[Code]....

I would like the user to insert a CD into their computer and click on an button on my application that allows them to read the CD-ROM and find a specific file type, e.g. csv, and then grab the info in the csv file.
I already have my StreamReader setup grabbing a filepath.
Now I am just wondering...how do I detect the CD-ROM and how do I grab the filepath of the only CSV file on the CD-ROM?
What's behind detecting a CD-ROM and grabbing a specific file type from a CD-ROM?
I heard about DriveInfo
However, that only allows me to detect a drive but not look at it's contents.

My project is to get a file from a designated location in my computer and not just read, but grab the values from the user and make a count, sum, and average calculation of the numbers in my code. I am using the fstream library and I am trying I did do it, I got the values and calcualated them, however I want the values to be accessed from maybe my desktop or my drive, I want to know how to manipulate my code to get a path like C:UserDesktop and maybe executed from the path input or given. I dont know if this is possible, or easy to do. ALso I did copy some of this code from my teachers examples and I dont know exatly why the variables have to be initilized at zero, and I would like to know a little more on the Bitwise right shift breaker used in line 20 something.
Here is my code below.
#include <iostream>//For avergae functionality
#include <fstream>//For the file commands, such as ifstream and the Bitwise right breakers(<< and >>).
#include <iomanip> // To control the amount of decimals in my results desired.
using namespace std;
int main () {
int aNumber=0; //Initilized at zero because of Stack Overflow:
[Code] .....

I am working on a solution for the above problem. Without success by now. To draw it within OnMouseMove with XOR-operation in not a good solution.
One problem: OnMouseMove is not called if the mouse moves to outside the CView-window.
But in this case the crosshairs should be deleted.
Second: working with XOR will not be good because we need a defined state (visible/not visible).

I'm trying to determine (from my Win32 process) if a Metro (or a Modern UI) app is currently displayed on the screen. I found the IAppVisibility::GetAppVisibilityOnMonitor method that can do just that, and I even found a C++ sample, but my issue is that I'm compiling it with the Visual Studio 2008 that does not have the definitions for the IAppVisibility interface, so the following:
Code:
#include <Shobjidl.h> //Earlier version
IAppVisibility* pAppVis = NULL;
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_AppVisibility, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IAppVisibility, (void**) &pAppVis);
Results in a set of errors:
Code:
error C2065: 'IAppVisibility' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'IID_IAppVisibility' : undeclared identifier
how to define them?

I am writing a pure C based win32 applications. I have drawn line. Now i want to translate that line, move the line whereved user wants to move on screen. Then again I drawn another line, I am drawing multiple lines.
I have created rectangle region for each line and trying to move the line.
When I move the 2nd line over the 1st line on screen the 1st line is getting wiped out. Because I am InvalidateRect() of the rect for the line being moved, so when that rectangle is crossing the other line then the other line is getting removed from the screen.
How can I rectify it. How can I have all the lined being on the screen and moved according to the user's wish. The code should be pure C and win32 no MFC.

I have an problem with a CDialogbar if my app runs on a system with two screens (side by side). I can not resize it while the CDialogbar is in floating state on the second screen.
I figured out that the problem is the mfc-function CDockContext::Stretch().
It limits the CDialogbar to the primary screen (using ::GetDesktopWindow() to verify the position).
What can I do?

How can I check if window media player is running in full screen mode & topmost in c++ MFC?
What I used is this logic:
I compared media player full screen coordinates to that of monitor coordinates.If they are same implies media player is in fullscreen.But it has one flaw.Whenever there are control(for play,pause) displayed in full screen in media player, coordinates are not coming same as that of monitor.

I'm making a small MFC module that should generate a report (formatted using HTML) and then display it for a user on schedule at 8:30 AM every day. Pretty straightforward stuff.
I compose my report and then save it as a local HTML file in the CSIDL_APPDATA folder. I then use the following calls to display it using the default web browser (Internet Explorer in this case):
Code:
//Error checks are omitted for brevity
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED | COINIT_DISABLE_OLE1DDE);
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, strSaveFileTo, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
This module is run on schedule from the Task Scheduler. (The task is set up to run when a user is logged on, which is all the time for that PC. It is never turned off, put to sleep, etc. That computer has only one user that is never logged off either.)
This works perfectly fine when I test it by setting the task a minute or so in the future. But when the actual task is supposed to run at 8:30 AM, when the user wakes the screen all they see is a blank Internet Explorer page. (Note that if someone refreshes that page by hitting F5, only then my report is shown on the screen.)
So I started looking into it:
1) I checked that the file is properly saved (before calling ShellExecute) by reading it back and by comparing it with the original HTML markup that I saved earlier. It's all correct there.
2) I then checked the power saving options. That computer is set up to show screensaver after 5 minutes and to turn off screen after 25 minutes.
3) The web browser that causes this issue is IE version 11, with the latest updates installed. The operating system is Windows 7 Professional.
And why is IE showing a blank page only when computer is running unattended?

I must take an old MFC project in VC++ 6.0 and make changes.
The problem is text size in screen is different from size in print preview.
for example with this font
Code:
CFont f50;
f50.CreateFont(100,0,0,0,FW_BOLD,0,0,0,DEFAULT_CHARSET,OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,FF_DONTCARE,"Frutiger LT Std 45 Light");
And this text
Code:
s=_T("Let's try to calculate the size of this text");
and with MM_LOMETRIC map mode
GetTextExtent() returns me:
On screen: (1595,99)
Ink printer + print preview: (1589,100)
PDFCreator + print preview: (1580,100)
comparing with screen size the height is bigger but lenght is smaller. I don't understand.
I can understand that different printers process the fonts in different way and then to have different lenghts. That's not the problem. The problem is I need to simulate in screen the same behaviour i will have on printer because these texts are being aligned in the document, and I don't want to see that the text si aligned different in text than in paper.
What can I do to render the text on screen with the same size I will have on the printer? Print preview is doing it. Should I change the font parameters? is something related with pixels per inch?

My problem is :
Code: numbers[10]={25,27,17,19,47,3,98,5,124,10};
You write a program at do below processes for above array.
You want a number 1 between 10 at user.
if user enter N value,program write to screen lowest N. number at array. For example user enter 2,program write to screen lowest secondary number of 5 value at array or user enter 10 value,program write to screen maximum number of 124 value at array.
But write the program with don't use sorting algorithm.

I have a one simple question :D. I want to output to the console some symbols. Let's say that i have a loop.
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) cou << "* ";
Then I want to output other symbols but I want to overwrite the previous symbols. I know I can use system("cls"); but it blinks if I try to output the same characters. For example if I have:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) cou << "* ";
system("cls");
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) cou << "* ";
After I run this code the first loop outputs ten "*". Then there is a blink and there are again ten "*" shown. How can I avoid this blink?
