Visual C++ :: How To Determine If A Metro App Is Currently Displayed On The Screen
Apr 22, 2014
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:
I have a code which is a set of rgb frames to be displayed at 25 fps to make it look like a video. While I createWindow invalidate and update it based on a timer, the video plays fine, but the buttons of Play, Pause etc hangs during the time video is playing.?
I need a slider with number displayed inside the slider. Slider thumb or number should be moved and finally i need to fetch the value where the slider thumb is placed. I had attached the image of slider which i required.
This program is incomplete as I am having difficulty creating the function that needs to find the number of perfect scores entered by the user. I have everything but the function complete ,here is my code:
Code: // Write a modular program that accepts at least 10 integer test scores from the user and stores them in an array. // The main should display how many perfect scores were entered (i.e., scores of 100), using a value-returning countPerfect function. // Input validation: Do not accept scores less than 0 or greater than 100.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int countPerfect(int intArray[], int); // Function prototype
I am overriding OnSaveDocument in my MFC document class to strip out the carriage returns when saving my app's document to a UNIX file system but not when the user is saving a file to a Windows file system.
Is there a way to determine if the lpszPathName in OnSaveDocument(LPCTSTR lpszPathName) is a UNIX or Windows file system?
Note, I want to avoid hard coding server names and I want to avoid overriding the FileSave dialog and forcing the user to select Windows or UNIX.
Am having a problem with the following program not displaying the cout after the while loop, it doesn't ask if I want to enter another employee but just prompts for the employee payrate again.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() // Parameters: None // Returns: Zero // Calls: None
I checked through the net and most of the solution like clrcr(); is not working for microsoft visual 2010. SO i was wondering for those who was using the same ver of c++ as me how do you clear the screen?
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, ???)
By using visual studio 2010, I have problem calling up on screen keyboard using line below for Windows 7 64 bit.
WinExec("OSK.EXE", SW_SHOW);
However, it is working fine on windows XP 32 bit. How to call up on screen keyboard for 64 bit windows?
Code:
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[]) { int nRetCode = 0; HMODULE hModule = ::GetModuleHandle(NULL); if (hModule != NULL) { // initialize MFC and print and error on failure
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).
I need to edit ,update and display a group of 40 parameters on screen. (10 parameters per page and use of Arrow Key pad or touch screen clicks to modify value)....
For that I will need .. Parameter No . , String Name , Point Screen Cord , double value , next element no. etc I have my old code with structure and array of structure written in C. I have translated it on C++/MFC .
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.
Write a user-friendly C++ program that allows a user to select repeatedly an operation to be performed from a displayed menu of actions. The menu includes the following items:
The menu actions are described by the following points:
Simple Statistics: This action includes finding the average, and standard deviation of a list of data items. The option should allow the user to specify the name of a file from which the data are read into an array. All the results of this option are displayed on the screen.
Vector Addition: This action allows the user to enter the name of a file from which two vectors, V1 and V2, of equal size N are read. Accordingly, the two vectors are added, and displayed along with the resultant vector on the screen. Your program should check that the two added vectors are of the same size. Otherwise, the program should display a message and allow the user to make another choice from the menu.
Dot Product: This action is similar to the Vector Addition in terms of input, output, and checking validity of the vector operands.
Exit: This action terminates the program.
Your program should include at least the following functions:
1. A function, called ReadVector(), which reads a vector of any size from a given file name, and returns the vector and its size to the caller. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void ReadVector(double V[], int &size, ifstream infile);
2. A function, called DisplayMenu(), which displays the menu and returns the user’s choice as an integer value between 1 and 4. The function prototype is defined as follows: int DisplayMenu (void);
3. A function, called VectorAdd(), which performs the addition of two vectors, A and B, and returns the resultant vector, C. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void VectorAdd(const double A[], const double B[], double C[], int size); The sum of two vectors, A = (a1, a2, …, an) and B = (b1, b2, …, bn) of size n, is defined as: C = A + B. Where, C = (c1, c2, …, cn), and ci = ai + bi, for1 i n .
4. A function, called DotProduct(), which performs the dot product of two vectors, A and B, and returns the result. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void DotProduct(const double A[], const double B[], int size, double &result); The dot-product of two vectors A = (a1, a2, …, an) and B = (b1, b2, …, bn) of size n is defined as n n n i i i b a ....... b a b a b a B . A 1 1 2 2 1
5. A function, called Simple_Stat(), which finds the maximum, minimum, average, and standard deviation of a list of data items passed to it by a one-dimensional array. The function returns the average and standard deviation values. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void Simple_Stat(const double list[], int size, double &average, double &std_dev);
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?
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?
I write a program which now works perfectly well. However, I want to make it run at the right time automatically, instead of waiting for a user to start it when needed.
The basic problem is, that in a WinPE environment an exe is running. Unfortunately it would need critical input, which must be inputted perfectly. So, I wrote a program which gets the data and sends it to the other app, by bringing it to the front and presses the keys needed using SendInput().
However, this program should wait for it's cue, then get on the inputting part. It's cue should be the point where the program waits for the first user input with this displayed on the last line:
Text:
My question is: how to listen and check whether the last line displayed is "Text:"?
I've tried with AttachConsole(), but for some reason it opens a new console window. I checked and the PID I'm using is the console window's, so I don't know why that happens.
Please don't criticize the first line. I know it can be ambiguous, but I modified it, When actually using it, the exe name will be in the title, so it will be unique.
I've made an effort for three days to write this code. But, my brain has stopped now. I wrote code to find the status of the game (win, loss or tie). However, I can't determine the tie status of the game. Tie status is the problem
I'm working with arrays that might have NULL bytes in them and I'm wondering how to determine the length of the array or store it somewhere with the array (strlen() won't work because of the NULL, right?).
I've found advice like store the length of the array in the first byte of the array, but since sizeof(size_t) is 8 should I leave the first 8 bytes for the length?
Would it be better do define my own structure which would store the array and its length? What's the usual way these things are handled in practice?
