Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

[Divvy Ballacks]

I just downloaded this "can't give it away" pile of sick on my 56Kbps modem
(460Mb) and I can't believe how difficult it is to write a really simple
program. All I wanna do is have a form with a button and a bitmap "1.bmp" in
a picture box. When you clcik the button it changes the bitmap from "1.bmp"
to " 2.bmp". How difficult can it be? Can anyone help?

Hi,

Go into the resource editor
Add resource (make sure to add a Bitmap resource)
Import
( Select a bmp file)
Rename the IDB_BITMAP1 to something more sensible

Go to the dialog resource (double click on it)
Add picture control
Click picture control (make sure the properties window is visible
(view->properties))
In the properites of the picture control select bitmap as type
In the Image properties select the IDB_ whatever you named your bitmap
resource in the first step.

Its not very difficult and what help on C++ do you expect from us?

This group is very specifically for the C++ language and standard
library, not generally tools, APIs or other libraries. You might try
asking on

microsoft.public.vstudio.general
microsoft.public.vstudio.development
microsoft.public.vc_ide.general

and possibly others.

Hi,

Go into the resource editor

Express edition does not have it.

"Resource editing is not supported on the Visual C++ Express SKU". That told
me!!

Well, if it's not very difficult then just tell me. It can't be more than
three lines of code. I have no books, no money, no resources. What is the
solution? Or it so simple that it's actually beneath you? Let me help:

Is it (a), (b) or (c) or (d)

(a)
Bitmap ^myBitmap = gcnew Bitmap(71, 96, PixelFormat::Format24bppRgb)
Image->FromFile("44.bmp");

Graphics ^ g = Graphics::FromImage(myBitmap);

(b)

Image ^mypiccie = gcnew

Image("12.jpg");

Graphics ^ g = Graphics::FromImage(mypiccie);

(c)

System::Graphics::Watuzi
^ ->(0XXFFF:__IF__BETHE_MIDDLE_WORDIN___XXAAFFCC___LI FE);

^^::->Draw().... <-) [BITM]___#define
SHISHI_KDCREQ_DEFAULT_REQ_BODY_SNAME_NAME_TYPE_LEN 0__
Nghrrew||GrrrrrrrrgUggggggggh

Yeah_Bitmaps::

(d)

None of the above.

You see, the thing is, all I have is the documentation provided with
VC++EE2005 and it's not very helpful and none of their sample projects from
www.microsoft.com will compile (keep getting user32.dll missing, cannot find
windows.h or whatever) because I only have the core SDK installed.

* Divvy Ballacks:

[off-topic]

Divvy, I've been in your exact situation with a lot of toolsets, and I
really do understand how you feel about this, and would provide you with
detailed instructions and explanations if this newsgroup was relevant.

But this newsgroup is /not/ the right place.

Repeat, /not/.

Here we deal with the C++ language, and only tool usage and libraries to
the extent that that is relevant to C++ in general.

This newsgroup was nearly destroyed by Microsoft newbies, which directly
led to [comp.lang.c++.moderated] being established: we don't want /all/
serious C++ discussion to move over to clc++m, because that's very slow.

So please take your discussion to a Microsoft-specific newsgroup.

This group's FAQ, Marshall Cline's C++ FAQ Lite, lists a number of them.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Go to the newsgroup below and people will help you. It should be in
your group list.

microsoft.public.vc.language

Good Luck.

I am not sure if you are aware of this but Microsoft has created a new
language called C++/CLI for use with .Net (.Net is something like the Java
Virtual Machine). You are apparently attempting to program in that new
language. That new language is not the C++ language that is the topic of
this newsgroup.

You have two alternatives:

1. Continue on your current path, but ask about it in

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc

2. Download the Platform SDK, which will enable you to do GUI programming
using C++ (this will get rid of your "cannot find windows.h" etc. errors).
In that case, some of your questions will be topical for this newsgroup, but
any GUI-related stuff belongs on, e.g.,

microsoft.public.vc.language
or
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.gdi
or
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui
