proper char width

bj
hello
is there any chance to get proper char width for
class derived from user control - im working over
text editing control, so i need proper width of every
character for currently selected font, in my example i
bind parent font and i use Api function GetCharWidth
to get characters width, this function working fine for
mfc however values returning for C# control looks bigger
than actual character pixel width for that control,
the GetCharWidth description says that returning value is
logical width of character so maybe i need some sort
of converting to device width to get proper value ...

thanks for any advice
bj

Hi group, I'm having some difficulty figuring out the most portable way to read 24 bits from a file. This is related to a Base-64 encoding. The file is opened in binary mode, and I'm using fread to read three bytes from it. The question is though, where should fread put this? I have considered two alternatives, but neither seem like a good idea: In most cases, the width of a char is 8 bits, so an array of 3 chars

Hi there. I'm just learning c++, and this is driving me nuts. I'm trying to save image files generated in a for loop with a filename built using strcat with: - a char base file name + a character to identify the individual files that is indexed from a char array by the int index of the for loop + a char file extension.

I'm trying to use a C++ .lib from C# (I tried the Interop group will no results). I have a working wrapper DLL (I can get back simple things like int), but I'm having issues dealing with an array of bytes. For example, the .lib contains this function: int create(int id, int scale, unsigned char *image); In the wrapper DLL I have this function:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
