GDI+ concern???????

DrawImage(bmpTemp).. Does it make sense?? Regards, Sandip. I received a reply from Sandip but I'm having hard time translating it to code. The process is what i needed it's just that I can't make it work. First I haven't found a constructor for Graphics gr(bmpTemp) and for function DrawImage(bmpTemp).. I'm not that good in GDI so I hope somebody can help me. It will be a big help if you reply. Thanks.

Graphics gr(bmpTemp)

(One overload of )The Graphics constructor accepts a pointer to a CImage object. DrawImage (as well as RotateTransform) is a method of the Graphics class. :)

But how will I declare bmpTemp? ????????? Graphics gr(bmpTemp) I'm confused on how will I declare this one. Can yu please show. Thank you.

TooShy2Talk

I have tried Image *bmpTemp; Graphics gr(bmpTemp); .... stitching here but result to following error, bmpTemp is being used without being defined. I don't really know how to implement it.

Did you look at the link i gave. It shows a graphics constructor which accepts Image class object as a parameter. Bitmap class is derived from the Image class. So when you will pass the Bitmap object to the graphics constructor it would invoke that constructor. Now declaration of bitmap. You can simply create a canvas bitmap which will hold your other bitmaps someting like this. Bitmap *bmpTemp = new Bitmap(iWidth,iHeight); Is it clear now???

Regards, Sandip.

For instance

CImage bmpTemp;
bmpTemp.Create(640,400,32);
Graphics gr(& bmpTemp); // please note the ampersand

Bitmap bmpTemp(640,400, PixelFormat32bppRGB);
Graphics gr(& bmpTemp);

Did you follow the link provided by Sandip? Have you a good C++ tutorial? :)

Yes, I have tried also CImage bmpTemp; but there is no intellisense for .Create() bmpTemp.Create(); I have tried including altimage.h but it comflicts to other class I'm using. Or is there other header to include?

CImage bmpTemp;

I dont know if CImage is derived from Image. But you can use

Image *bmpTemp = new Image(iWidth,iHeight);

Did you try this?? I don't know why are you facing so much trouble in this Previously you were using hDC directly to draw your bitmaps on. Now you just have to replace this hDC with temporary bitmap.. and once you finish all your operations do following

Graphics gr(hDC);
gr.RotateTransform(..);
gr.DrawImage(bmpTemp);

Is it clear?

I received an error on this, I think there is no constructor available.

I have successfully created the following lines

CPallini wrote:

CImage bmpTemp; bmpTemp.Create(640,400,32);

But encountered an error on the line below.

CPallini wrote:

Graphics gr(& bmpTemp);

Error is "Cannot convert CImage* to HDC".

I am nt sure if constructor is available for the Image class but it is surely there for Bitmap. What is the problem you facing in following code.

Bitmap *bmpTemp = new Bitmap(iWidth,iHeight);
Graphics gr(bmpTemp);

If you still have problems Please Look at this section on CP GDI+[^] I hope it will help you..

Regards, Sandip.

You're right: I made confusion, I'm sorry about. I've modified my previous post. Hope it helps. :)
