How to use GetHBITMAP method? - gdi+

I have a gdi+ bitmap, and I want to convert bitmap into HBitmap.
I write the following code.
HBITMAP temp;
Color color;
img->GetHBITMAP(color, &temp);
But It do not work, How can I get a HBitmap?

Demonstration code from MSDN:
void DemonstrateGetHbitmapWithColor()
{
Bitmap^ bm = gcnew Bitmap( "Picture.jpg" );
IntPtr hBitmap = bm->GetHbitmap( Color::Blue );
// Do something with hBitmap.
DeleteObject( hBitmap );
}

Check the return value of the GetHBITMAP function.

Binding iOS Library error with objective-c pointer?

1.there is a pointer parameter in objective-c library
(CLLocationCoordinate2D* coords)
but the generated code do not have the pointer.
it should be an array but in generated code it is not.
the parameter CLLocationCoordinated2D should be an array.
how to fix it?
the issue url is https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/14468
Try the code below
//ApiDefinition.cs

c++ builder: convert video to png-snapshots with directshow

Thanks to your help I was able to search for the right words to use directshow a bit better.
I found a tutorial how to use the SampleGrabber-object here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd407288%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
I could implement it and modified it a bit so it isn't just saving the first frame, but every Frame to a PNG. For that I use corona.
However, I just guessed something around and don't quite know which buffers are containing my data and in which form.
So, I have basically 3 questions:
Am I using SavePNG right? the resulting Images are upside-down!
Can I replace the BaseFilter for the video with one that is connected to a camera?
Contains pBuffer my Imagedata so I can get rgb-byte-informations by simply type pBuffer[123]?
I'm using embarcadero's C++-Builder (XE2 16).
Here is the code I found at the website, a bit modified (error-handling removed for better view. after each hr=... there is a Failed-check):

I hope I have done nothing horribly wrong... I really tried to research everything^^
Does somebody knows about my 3 questions above?
I you found something really wrong here, I would also appreciate for you to tell me, so I can fix and improve.

Now when you have a video frame in 24-bit RGB format, all you need is to compress to PNG. You have choices here:
libpng
GDI+
WIC
Possibly, C++ bulder has native classes to cover PNG as well.
P.S. DirectShow API you are using is not DirectX, it is a part of Windows core SDK.

X++ passing current selected records in a form for your report

I am trying to make this question sound as clear as possible.
Basically, I have created a report, and it now exists as a menuitem button so that the report can run off the form.
What I would like to do, is be able to multi-select records, then when I click on my button to run my report, the current selected records are passed into the dialog form (filter screen) that appears.
I have tried to do this using the same methods as with the SaleLinesEdit form, but had no success.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Take a look at Axaptapedia passing values between forms. This should help you. You will probably have to modify your report to use a form for the dialog rather than using the base dialog methods of the report Here is a good place to start with that!
Just wanted to add this
You can use the MuliSelectionHelper class to do this very simply:
MultiSelectionHelper selection = MultiSelectionHelper::createFromCaller(_args.caller());
MyTable myTable = selection.getFirst();
while (myTable)
{
//do something
myTable = selection.getNext();
}
Here is the resolution I used for this issue;
Two methods on the report so that when fields are multi-selected on forms, the values are passed to the filter dialog;
private void setQueryRange(Common _common)
{
FormDataSource fds;
LogisticsControlTable logisticsTable;
QueryBuildDataSource qbdsLogisticsTable;
QueryBuildRange qbrLogisticsId;
str rangeLogId;
set logIdSet = new Set(Types::String);
str addRange(str _range, str _value, QueryBuildDataSource _qbds, int _fieldNum, Set _set = null)
{
str ret = _range;
QueryBuildRange qbr;
;
if(_set && _set.in(_Value))
{
return ret;
}
if(strLen(ret) + strLen(_value) + 1 > 255)
{
qbr = _qbds.addRange(_fieldNum);
qbr.value(ret);
ret = '';
}
if(ret)
{
ret += ',';
}
if(_set)
{
_set.add(_value);
}
ret += _value;
return ret;
}
;
switch(_common.TableId)
{
case tableNum(LogisticsControlTable):
qbdsLogisticsTable = element.query().dataSourceTable(tableNum(LogisticsControlTable));
qbrLogisticsId = qbdsLogisticsTable.addRange(fieldNum(LogisticsControlTable, LogisticsId));
fds = _common.dataSource();
for(logisticsTable = fds.getFirst(true) ? fds.getFirst(true) : _common;
logisticsTable;
logisticsTable = fds.getNext())
{
rangeLogId = addrange(rangeLogId, logisticsTable.LogisticsId, qbdsLogisticsTable, fieldNum(LogisticsControlTable, LogisticsId),logIdSet);
}
qbrLogisticsId.value(rangeLogId);
break;
}
}
// This set the query and gets the values passing them to the range i.e. "SO0001, SO0002, SO000£...
The second methods is as follows;
private void setQueryEnableDS()
{
Query queryLocal = element.query();
;
}
Also on the init method this is required;
public void init()
{
;
super();
if(element.args() && element.args().dataset())
{
this.setQueryRange(element.args().record());
}
}
Hope this helps in the future for anyone else who has the issue I had.

How can I replace class_createInstance in arc?

I have this code and need to port it to arc but I dont know how:
case FIELDTYPE_OBJECT:
className = [fieldType substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, [fieldType length]-3)];
rel = class_createInstance(NSClassFromString(className), sizeof(unsigned));
Class theClass = [rel class];
if ([rel isKindOfClass:[DbObject class]]) {
//Load the record...
NSInteger Id = [rs intForColumn:[theClass relationName]];
if (Id==0) {
fieldValue = [rel init];
} else {
Db *db = [Db currentDb];
fieldValue = [db loadById: theClass theId:Id];
}
}
break;
The error is:
error: 'class_createInstance' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode
How replace it?
I need to build class objects in runtime.
The most straightforward solution is to add another file which has -fno-objc-arc set on it, and which has a function which calls class_createInstance() as above.
Try this:
#include <objc/objc-runtime.h>
id object = [[NSClassFromString(#"TheClassName") alloc] init];
Create a separated .h/.c files and put something like this.
id const
MyCreateInstanceOfClass(Class const class)
{
id instance = class_createInstance(class, 0);
return instance;
}
#include the .h, and call it. No need to put -fno-bjc-arc switch for each file.

How to identify CMYK images in ASP.NET using C#

Does anybody know how to properly identify CMYK images in ASP.NET using C#? When I check the Flags attribute of a Bitmap instance, I get incorrect results.
I have created three images to test this: cmyk.jpg, rgb.jpg and gray.jpg. These are respectively CMYK, RGB and Grayscale images.
This is my test code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Bitmap bmpCMYK = new Bitmap("cmyk.jpg");
Bitmap bmpRGB = new Bitmap("rgb.jpg");
Bitmap bmpGray = new Bitmap("gray.jpg");
Console.WriteLine("\t\tRgb\tCmyk\tGray\tYcbcr\tYcck\tPixelFormat");
Console.WriteLine("cmyk.jpg\t{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}\t{5}",
IsSet(bmpCMYK, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceRgb),
IsSet(bmpCMYK, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceCmyk),
IsSet(bmpCMYK, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceGray),
IsSet(bmpCMYK, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcbcr),
IsSet(bmpCMYK, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcck),
bmpCMYK.PixelFormat);
Console.WriteLine("rgb.jpg\t\t{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}\t{5}",
IsSet(bmpRGB, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceRgb),
IsSet(bmpRGB, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceCmyk),
IsSet(bmpRGB, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceGray),
IsSet(bmpRGB, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcbcr),
IsSet(bmpRGB, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcck),
bmpRGB.PixelFormat);
Console.WriteLine("gray.jpg\t{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}\t{5}",
IsSet(bmpGray, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceRgb),
IsSet(bmpGray, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceCmyk),
IsSet(bmpGray, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceGray),
IsSet(bmpGray, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcbcr),
IsSet(bmpGray, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcck),
bmpGray.PixelFormat);
bmpCMYK.Dispose();
bmpRGB.Dispose();
bmpGray.Dispose();
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static bool IsSet(Bitmap bitmap, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags flag)
{
return (bitmap.Flags & (int)flag) == (int)flag;
}
This produces the following output:
I have checked the actual images and cmyk.jpg really is a CMYK image.
Apparently, this is a "known issue". Alex Gil had the same problem in WPF (see this question: How to identify CMYK images using C#) and he managed to solve it by using a BitmapDecoder class to load the images. I'm a bit uncomfortable using that solution in ASP.NET because it requires me to add references to WindowsBase.dll and PresentationCore.dll and I'm not sure I want those in a web project.
Does anyone know of any other pure .NET solutions to check if an image is in the CMYK format that I can safely use in ASP.NET?
I use a combination of the ImageFlags and PixelFormat values. Note that PixelFormat.Forma32bppCMYK is missing from .NET - I grabbed it out of GdiPlusPixelFormats.h in the Windows SDK.
The trick is that Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 returns the correct pixel format but is missing the image flags. Vista and Server 2008 return an invalid pixel format but the correct image flags. Insanity.
public ImageColorFormat GetColorFormat(this Bitmap bitmap)
{
const int pixelFormatIndexed = 0x00010000;
const int pixelFormat32bppCMYK = 0x200F;
const int pixelFormat16bppGrayScale = (4 | (16 << 8);
// Check image flags
var flags = (ImageFlags)bitmap.Flags;
if (flags.HasFlag(ImageFlags.ColorSpaceCmyk) || flags.HasFlag(ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcck))
{
return ImageColorFormat.Cmyk;
}
else if (flags.HasFlag(ImageFlags.ColorSpaceGray))
{
return ImageColorFormat.Grayscale;
}
// Check pixel format
var pixelFormat = (int)bitmap.PixelFormat;
if (pixelFormat == pixelFormat32bppCMYK)
{
return ImageColorFormat.Cmyk;
}
else if ((pixelFormat & pixelFormatIndexed) != 0)
{
return ImageColorFormat.Indexed;
}
else if (pixelFormat == pixelFormat16bppGrayScale)
{
return ImageColorFormat.Grayscale;
}
// Default to RGB
return ImageColorFormat.Rgb;
}
public enum ImageColorFormat
{
Rgb,
Cmyk,
Indexed,
Grayscale
}
An idea: If you dont want to reference those dll's in your web project, you could do the processing outside the web project, in a service, which may be better anyway?
You might check out FreeImage which is a win32 DLL but has a .NET wrapper, I am using it in a production enviroment and it's great.
I would be surprised if it couldn't provide this information.
(edit) I didn't notice before you asked for pure .NET solutions - so maybe this won't work - but I have found it a useful supplement to the limitations of the .NET framework for image manipulation.
Another idea, if you only need to identify the format, is to extract that directly from the file. I have no idea how complex the specification for the JPEG format might be, but hey, it's only 29 pages!
As previously answered, the most reliable way will be to parse the file's header to retrieve this data.
So here is how I solved the issue you were having which was the same as what I was having. Everything in csharp looks to return rgb info when you know it's a 100% a cymk image. So what to do, well go to the root and read the file. Here is what I had done and tested to work well and should cover all OS's, and 50 for 50 imgs tested right. This is 2.0 too just in case.
public bool isByteACMYK(Stream image)
{
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(image))
{
string contents = sr.ReadToEnd();
if (contents.ToLower().Contains("cmyk"))
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
public bool isFileACMYKJpeg(System.Drawing.Image image)
{
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags flagValues = (System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags)Enum.Parse(typeof(System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFlags), image.Flags.ToString());
if (flagValues.ToString().ToLower().IndexOf("ycck") == -1)
{
// based on http://www.maxostudio.com/Tut_CS_CMYK.cfm
bool ret = false;
try{
int cmyk = (image.Flags & (int)ImageFlags.ColorSpaceCmyk);
int ycck = (image.Flags & (int)ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcck);
ret = ((cmyk > 0) || (ycck > 0));
} catch (Exception ex){
}
return ret;
}
return true;
}
// my upload test .. but you could turn a file to stream and do the same
public void UpdatePool(HttpPostedFile newimage)
{
if (newimage.ContentLength != 0)
{
Stream stream = newimage.InputStream;
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
CopyStream(stream,memoryStream);
memoryStream.Position = 0;
stream = memoryStream;
System.Drawing.Image processed_image = null;
processed_image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(newimage.InputStream);
if (imageService.isFileACMYKJpeg(processed_image) || imageService.isByteACMYK(stream))
{
Flash["error"] = "You have uploaded a CMYK image. Please conver to RGB first.";
RedirectToReferrer();
return;
}
}
}
cheers - Jeremy
I was under the assumption that everything in .NET was based on RGB, aRGB and grayscale (as grayscale is RGB(128, 128, 128)).
If my assumption is correct then you will have to go the third party route.
