General Questions / Folders and Files
Last post by Brian - April 02, 2024, 08:33:50 AMConsidering what I am doing with my GDI Picture Viewer, in that I am using an external DLL (pbsctrl.dll) to show drives, folders and files, does anyone have the code to do the same thing using Windows API?
There does seem to be some drawbacks in using this DLL, one being the loss of file icons (icon memory running out?), and it not always showing folders properly, ie, hanging up at times

Last post by Brian - April 01, 2024, 04:03:00 AMSorry about this, but while I was giving the program a good run through yesterday, I found it was hanging up at times when changing to different directories
I think I have fixed the problem, so please use this version instead

Last post by Brian - March 30, 2024, 06:30:25 AMOK, couldn't resist! Now when the window is resized, the loaded image is redrawn to fit the window. Before, you had to first click a filename, resize your window, and then click the filename again
Bit of slight flickering going on, but I can live with that. Very easy fix, as well
Exe and source code in the zip

Last post by Brian - March 28, 2024, 10:41:47 AMI think I have taken this program as far as I want, so I doubt I will be doing any more on it. Don't fancy having to learn more of the hundreds of GDI calls, really!
Added bitmaps to the menus
Added an About box
Added more file info into the Statusbar
Slight update to the image proportion code
Exe included

Last post by Brian - March 25, 2024, 08:13:22 AMSorted the proportionate sizing of images, so if an image will fit in the window, no resizing is done; if the image is too big to fit in the window, then it is proportionately resized. Code and exe in the zip

Last post by Brian - March 25, 2024, 06:01:10 AMUpdate:
Added EMF and WMF filetypes as allowed formats
Added a menu for later additions
Changed the main program icon
Coloured the statusbar, and added an icon
Added image horizontal and vertical resolutions to the statusbar
Added VERSIONINFO into the resource (.rc) file
Removed previous upload, as the program is now a Project

Had just started looking at your code in Notepad when I decided to check the Forum.
Just deleted the included ini file, and the error was gone!
Never used GDI myself, so will study your code to see how it is done.
All the best!

Good to hear from you - hope you are doing well
It's not an error, really. It's just saying that the last-used path in the ini file is not the same that you are launching the program from. It should save your last-used directory when you close it. Have a looksee...
I could be posting another version today, and this will be a Project type, but I will include the exe again
Brian
Edit: Correction, after looking at my code and the message, it just means that that path is not available. So it was okay on my PC, but not yours!

Last post by Egil - March 23, 2024, 05:35:49 AMHi Brian!
It's nice to see that you have been rather busy when I have been away.
I'm still unable to use IWB, so glad you also included the exe file.
So far your program looks great, but here my laptop gives an error every ntime I start your program, and when i click "OK" in the error box your program starts, and appears to work as intended.
I'll check your code later, but there must be something in the file loading routine that my pc don't like.
Anhow, I really like what you have done so far!
