I recently switched from Visual C++ 6.0 to Visual C++ 2008.
With Visual C++ 6.0, I used a callback method to get available font styles for a given font. I don't think that is working correctly anymore.
What is the best approach for determining which font styles (e.g., bold, italic, etc.) are available for a given font. I am not using .Net.
I made my own custom message/dialog box.
I have a template mock up view using xaml. I have a viewmodel that raises the message property. I binded the message property to a textblock inside my xaml.
Since my messages are different for every viewmodel I have.
E.g.in every viewmodel, I have something like
messagewindow.Message = "This is a new message";
dialogService.ShowDialog(Success, messageWindow);
In one of my messages, I want to make the font bold and different color for a specific message segment.
How can I do that without messing up with the other messages that inherit from the xaml or code behind?
Currently, I'm not using any code behind and a lot of the examples online I've seen use code behind and/or don't have dynamic message textboxes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need use GetTextExtent and I don't understant why GetTextExtent always return the same value if I change some values of the selected font. This is my example:
Code:
LOGFONT lf;
pOldFont->GetLogFont(&lf);
CString sExampleSizeByChar;
sExampleSizeByChar = _T("hello");
DWORD dwPixelsByChar = dc.GetTextExtent(sExampleSizeByChar).cx / 1.15;

Why I get always the value 24 when I call GetTextExtent if I change the font size?
How to increase font size for a specific button? I tried to change the nHeight but it doesn't seems to change the font size.

Can change the menu bar font size in CMainFrame::OnCreate()? Here's what I have:

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) {
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
if (CFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) {
return -1;

I needed to change Default Text attributes (font and color) . So I wrote following code , UnicodeTextOut function. I called this function once in each 55ms to update the display screen. but I observed that my Screen used to become grey like a crash after sometime . If I use Minimize an Maximize window , the screen was restoring back for some time.
When I thought over the code , I got my mistake that CreateFont initialization should be done once in the program and probably outside the function.
void UnicodeTextOut(int x, int y, CString s, UINT justify,int GreyScaleFlag) {
HFONT hFontUnicode;
HFONT hfOld ;
hFontUnicode = CreateFont(16, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, _T("Aerial"));
[Code] ....
Then I shifted the line hFontUnicode = CreateFont(16, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, _T("Aerial")); in my screen class constructor and made hFontUnicode global .
This solved my problem as expected. Why a system crash after certain no of CreateFont calls ?
I am trying to draw a shape or font on dialog and then fill the outline. I have 2 buttons on this 2 buttons I have the following code
Code:
case IDC_BUTTON1:
MessageBox(hDlg, L"Start Drawing!!", L"ButtonPressed", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
hDC = GetDC(hDlg);
brush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(128, 128, 128));
SelectObject(hDC, brush);
[code].....
When I remove the BeginPath() and EndPath() functions my lines are being drawn. But when I insert this BeginPath() and EndPath() and StrokeAndFillPath(hDC); the nothing is being drawn.
Why it is not doing as per the expectations. I want to draw a shape for example A with a outline. And i want it to be closed when drawing is ended and filled the hollow portion.
What am I doing wrong in this ?I am not implementing it in WM_PAINT but drawing is done in WM_LBUTTONUP.
Change the frame window size according to font size increases.

In the old days, there was graphics.h, but that isn't included now, and I would prefer to use some modern extension. I'd like to write it on Win7, then move it to Linux on Raspberry Pi. It would be nice to avoid a full-scale graphics system like OpenGL.
SLD_ttf lib and I have been following the Lazy Foo' tuts on it but the text is not appearing. I have found out that it is not loading the font as I have added in the code saying if it has failed.
Code:

if( font == NULL )
{
return false;
}
i have saved this font in the project (project name/project name/lazy.ttf).
how am i supposed to alter font size of text which appear in output screen?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was working with a richTextBox on setting its font, color and size. I found examples and got that to work. It seems like a kludge to me just to get the size set.
So, now I need to do the same for a listBox. I got the font and color set but cannot get the font size set.
The error I am getting is on line 6 below: listBoxTopLevelChecklist.Font.Size = fontDialog.Font.Size;
VS 2013 Express tells me this property (font.size) is read-only. That was the same error I got on the richTextBox until I found way using the .SelectionFont structure, but the listBox doesn't support that. So, I'm stuck.
Line 8 on is working finr for the richEditBox.
DialogResult result = fontDialog.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK) {
listBoxTopLevelChecklist.Font = fontDialog.Font;
listBoxTopLevelChecklist.ForeColor = fontDialog.Color;
listBoxTopLevelChecklist.Font.Size = fontDialog.Font.Size;

if (fdb.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) {

Is this how you do it? I keep getting an error like Cannot implicitly convert type 'type' to 'type.
I heard that you can't use it with express, but that doesn't seem right... Can you use it with Codeblocks, at least? I just hate the Qt Creator IDE. I don't like the UI... all I want to do is code Qt. I don't care much for the GUI editors.

I don`t known how to convert IP to hex .
In this link [URL] .... . I see hex IP : Hex IP 0x462a1779
I want to convert IP "70.42.23.121" to "0x462a1779"
Code:
#include <winsock.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
UINT32 ip_to_hex(UINT32 ip_add) {
UINT32 ip_hex;
//code convert ip to hex
return ip_hex;

And this is result : 7b 1e 80 and a , not 0a
Further i think we must separate each octect by a (dot) . , Then convert decimal to hex.
In a C++ project, I need to call a C# created COM object (as a .dll)
Is there a way to use such a COM object without having it be registered in the registry?
The C# COM dll is just a "go between" our C++ code and a .NET library, there's no "COM contract" of any kind, the COM interfaces change each version. The fact it's COM and needs registration is annoying because it makes it hard to have multiple versions of our software installed (needed under some circumstances) and running at the same time.
I'd like a way to not have any registration at all. And just be able to do a LoadLibrary("c:TheRightPathcom.dll") of the right dll and then get going from there.
