Splash image and jpeg usage

Hi,

I have a splash form which has a background JPEG image (back mainly with
some blue and white logo).
on this form i want to display a text which will be updated dynamically
to reflect the progression of application loading and checking.

however, even if i setup the text in white, the whole label rectangle is
transparent and reflect the color of the application background.

i mean if i run my application on windows XP desktop background, the
label rectangle will appear in blue (without any white text).

where could be the problem ?

thx.

I have a camera system (Axis) which stores JPG via FTP 1-10fps. There is also a motion jpg live stream. I am trying to store these images either in JPG or in video format so they can be reviewed at a later date. I would need to be able to pull a date-time range from the list. This means 86,400 - 2,160,000 images (around 110Kb a piece) per camera a day, depending on speed 1fps - 10fps. There will probably be 1-5 cameras typically. ...

I have a script, which I've called test-loadpic.php and some pages reference it by means of <img src="test-loadpic.php?sourcepic=$picNum"> where $picNum stores a number. This part itself works fine. test-loadpic.php uses the "sourcepic" GET variable to reference a file on disk, get it's file/MIME type, transmit the headers and then the raw image. The important code is below:

Hi, I'm writing an app that downloads images. It rejects images that are under a certain size - whithout downloading them completely. I've implemented this using PIL, by downloading the first K and trying to create a PIL image with it. PIL raises an exception because the file is incomplete, but the image object is initialised with the image dimensions, which is what I need. It actualy works well enough, but I'm concerened about...

I am developing an application that possibly opens very large images - bmp, jpeg, tiff. I have 2 questions: Language: C#, VS .NET 2003. 1. When the program opens a BMP image, the amount of memory used seems to be larger for BMP files than JPEGs with the same pixel dimensions. For example, 5200 x 5000 pixels image -- increase in Mem Usage is about 80MB for JPEG, but 200MB for BMP (with Task Manager). The Mem Usage is noted before and...

I have found a couple of sites that allow a visitor to upload an image and the site returns either the "average color", or a palette of colors. Several of them use PHP to accomplish this. I have requested the source code, but have not gotten a response (even though one site states "source code available on request"). It is obvious that they read the colors of each pixel and them manipulate that data. I would like to be able to do...

I'm reading a series of images from a MS SQL table and saving them to directory. These are staff ID pictures from our security card app. Once I've extracted the ID photo from the security app to disk, I need to reference the disk file in our HR app. As part of the process, I'm resizing the image and changing its resolution from 96 to 72 dpi. If they are not at a 72 dpi resolution, the HR app freezes. The resizing works without a hitch, but...

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
