[Dev-C++] character conversions

[Jason B. <red...@ya...>]

I'm able to convert a character into its corresponding
ASCII code, but what if I want to do it the other way
around?  What is the method for that if there is one?  

[Dev-C++] OpenGL and memory storage

[Jason B. <red...@ya...>]

Is there a way to write OpenGL onto a memory DC for
the purposes of recall in OnPaint?  I've seen it done
with compiled DirectX applications (Gens), so I assume
something along the lines of what I'm attempting
should be possible.  

[Dev-C++] GetPixel Win32

[Jason B. <red...@ya...>]

I've tried using GetPixel to get the color of a pixel
on an hdc, but it doesn't appear to work on a memory
hdc.  Is this normal, or is there a way I can can use
it with a memory hdc (or perhaps bitmap).  I just what
to be able able to scan in the colors so that I can
send them through various algorithms.

[Dev-C++] Tree Graph Visualization Software

[Isaac E. W. <is...@wa...>]

Does someone know of a library to create visualizations of tree-like structures? I want to do something similar to what's shown in the file I am attaching. I basically need to show the relationship between nodes in graphical views.

Thanks!

[Dev-C++] Strange Linker Error

[Vito T. <vt...@ma...>]

Hi to all,

I'm just starting programming with Dev C++ and Win API.

I'm trying to compile an example of shell extension from MS Platform 
SDK. I adapted the makefile adding all required libraries, but at the 
and of the compilation process I receive this error(s):

BEGIN:

PropShet.o(.text+0x3df):PropShet.Cpp: undefined reference to 
`CreatePropertySheetPageA@4'
PropShet.o(.text+0x40f):PropShet.Cpp: undefined reference to 
`DestroyPropertySheetPage@4'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

dllwrap.exe: no export definition file provided.
Creating one, but that may not be what you want
dllwrap.exe: c++ exited with status 1

make.exe: *** [MSShellExt02.dll] Error 1

END.

The two functions are included in the ComCtl32.lib/dll package, which is 
included in the parameters o f DevC++.

What can I do to fix it?

Thankyou very much

Re: [Dev-C++] new info

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Please be a bit more specific about what you want.

Convert a number (103) to text (One hundred and three).

Convert a character ('A') to ASCII ordinal (65).

Something else?

[Dev-C++] ansi driver

[gyrvwrzp <gyr...@ya...>]

The thing is im learning C++ with a complete guide to programming in C++ by ulla and peter prinz and this book has programs which require that ansi escape sequences can be output to the compilers console window.

 but not with dev-C++ apparently, i must of tried adjusting every possible setting to no avail.
what the hell?!! why do they publish a book that expects the user to use seeminly redundant ansi.sys for XP win32 consoles that the bloodshed compiler generates. i can find no way of creating an msdos ansi.sys friendly exe with the bloodshed compiler.

Is there anyway around this or are there other compilers that work with ansi.sys im at my wits end over this nonsense.
are there libraries that could give me the equivalent of ansi.sys or should i manipulate the bios in some way.

any help would be much appreciated.

[Christian S. <an...@gm...>]

hi!

thanks to daniel k.o.

he sent the link to a working devPak to me, i tried it with our project that
has more than 1200 lines of code at the moment and it works!

i did upload the file to
http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg12876/plib-1.8.4-dko-1.DevPak

from there it should be available for at least the next 2 years, so it can
be linked at devpaks.org if you want.

thank you all!

regards

-Christian

If anyone interested, I downloaded and compiled (./configure; make) Plib
1.8.4 a few hours ago, with MinGW/GCC 3.4.2.

Here is the link
http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~dkosmari/plib-1.8.4-dko-1.DevPak

It works with the few examples I tested. Maybe somebody can host it
somewhere and then put in on devpaks.org.

http://sorry.vse.cz/~xmolm04/plib-portable-game-library.DevPak is _that_ 
devpak (it's clearly visible that the 
http://sf.gds.tuwien.ac.at/00-cat/dev/devpaks/plib-portable-game-library.DevPak 
is simply first 280064 bytes of the file).

the fact that it does not work very well is the reason why it was 
removed from devpaks.org

[Christian S. <an...@gm...>]

Hi!

Yes, i was meaning the plib portable game library DevPak. And yes, i did
google and found the link to http://sf.gds.tuwien.ac.at/00-cat/dev/devpaks/.
And yes, the link is corrupted, i am getting an "Unexpected end of file"
error.

Thank you Michal for the
http://sorry.vse.cz/~xmolm04/plib-portable-game-library.DevPak link, but it
seems that it doesn't work for our source code that is written for
plib-1.8.3 under linux.

Does anyone still have the correct DevPak dated 24 Dec 04 02:12 that should
be available at the first link?

Thank you all

[Dev-C++] Plib Dev Pak

[Nolan C. <ncl...@cs...>]

I too looked for a plib devpak and couldn't find one that worked.  Just do 
what I did.
*Download the plib source code
*Import the visual c++ (.dsp) files
*Let Dev-C++ do the rest, Compile It!!!

Let me know if have any trouble doing this.  I got very few errors, simple 
naming conventions like LONGLONG or whatever.

       Thanks,

I only guess, but it seems to be a way of providing MinGW building=20

a few kbytes, and which can be applied to the official release to make=20

That's only my guess though, by taking a glance at it's contents, I may=20
be wrong. But nevertheless (if I was correct), this is a very clever and=20
good initiative of giving projects' MinGW building support.

there is not, file on that site is corrupted, it has only 280.064 bytes

As always I sent reply to autor only... Copy (with long lag) to the list.

Just delete/move:
devcpp.ini, devcpp.cfg and devshortcuts.cfg (if you have it)
from
<DocumentAndSettings>/<LoginName>/<LoacalSettings>/<ApplicationData>/ in
XP and <WindowsDir>/<ApplicationData>/(maybe something here) in 9x.

Maybe there is also some way to do it from Dev-c++, but I've never
searched for it.

Re: [Dev-C++] Restore Dev C++ to default options/settings

[Alfred P. R. <al...@ya...>]

What occurs Mahmoud, is that Dev-Cpp creates initialization files in a folder that is off of "c:\documents and settings" in most installations.  Do a search
from "c:\" for the file "devcpp.ini" and once that is found, delete it and other associated Dev-Cpp files in the folder where "devcpp.ini" resides.  This should reset Dev-Cpp to it's initial post-install state.

Re: [Dev-C++] Loading a bitmap and getting its handle ???

Well, for the window this is OK...

Meanwhile I solved the problem:

HDC hdcBitmap =3D CreateCompatibleDC( hdcTarget );
HBITMAP hbmOld =3D (HBITMAP)SelectObject( hdcBitmap, hbm );
BitBlt( hdcTarget, ...., hdcBitmap, ... , SRCCOPY );
// cleanup
SelectObject( hdcBitmap, hbmOld );
DeleteDC( hdcBitmap );
ReleaseDC( hdcTarget ); 


Thanks for all responses !!!!!!!!!!!!!
