I believe I have solved my own question.
Here is the way it appears to work.

LowPart in little endian then HighPart in little endian

Of course, little endian is for my machine. Others
may...

This is the hex output from a LARGE_INTEGER.
"EA 00 0B 00 A1 00 00 00"
On my machine a DWORD is read "00 0B 00 EA"
How do you place the high 32 bits in the
sequence?

This leads me to the...

Just to let everyone know. The suggestion works great. That was my problem.

OK, I'll try that. When you explained it to me in the timer thread, I thought you were suggesting that I leave the paint code right at the timer code. I'll try your suggestion now and put it in the...

I spent a lot of time trying to find out why "Message Box'
made my program act like it crashed. Originally I had to
bring up the Task Manager every time I allowed "Message
Box' to run to shut down...

To Ancient Dragon:

I appreciate all the work you did. I've been working on it too. Without the paint sequence, the stack loads differently. It seems the compiler leaves out one line of code "POP...

I've been doing some experiments while waiting for further replies.

If I move the two timer functions above the "DoMenu" function, then MessageBox will work. I don't know why but you can't beat...

I blocked off the print text code in the time function and then raised the time to 10 seconds. Thaat failed. Then I killed the timer in the procedure as you suggested. That failed. Maybe I am not...

Sorry I got onto the wrong thread. Please delete this from this thread. I have copied it all over to the recommended thread.

I have a simple program that I am having trouble debugging.
It contains two different problems.

Thanks for the thread. It looks interesting. I have only given it a quick scan so far. I will carefully look it over in the next day or so and see if it solves the problem.

I program using Win32 API's. I compile with Borland or Microsoft "CL".
I am on an XP machine. I use .cpp extensions to compile so C++ rules apply.

I'm trying to get the bytes from my screen and...

For anyone following this thread, I am giving up. I have read through loads of .h's and
other help files to no avail. I worked around using my "found and then lost" style symbol by using...

I looked in SWP and all the WM's and other places I could think of. Like I said, if I had not
used it in the program I am working on and seen it work, I would think there is no such thing. This is...

I am working with a MDI in my program. I use .cpp
to compile although I program primarily with api's.
I'm not sure whether that places me in C++ or
Windows threads. Since using .cpp I have to...

I'm running AMD Xp1 compiling with Borland bcc32 with cpp
extensions.

When I minimize and then bring my window back up to normal, the
buttons in my toolbar disappear. I can bring them back up...

Thanks for gettting back to me so quickly. I've downloaded the article you sent me. I'll mark the thread as solved if I am able to now pass my file as mapped.

I'm trying to teach myself how to use File Mapping.
This is just the pertinent parts of my program.

Sorry. Just found another mistake I made when posting the code. I was experimenting and left an ampersand in front of lpvBits in the ReadFile. It doesn't belong. The bits are not pointed to by...

Sorry if this thread isn't wrapped correctly. I wrapped it as I have in the past and it went crazy.

Running AMD XP SP1 - Bitmap can be any bitmap

I'm not a moderator but I do have some info that may help. You can send for a free DDK from Microsoft. It has sample code, tutorials, and a lot of good info on driver writing. You just have to pay...

I recently sent a request for help because ReadFile
kept crashing for me. The moderator sent me some code
which cured my problem. My next step was to
experiment to see what I had originally done...

That did it. Thanks.

I put MyLength+1 to make sure I don't run over
my allowed memory. Doesn't that allow room for end of file?

This is one of my many attemps. I have brought down most of my
declarations so you can see them.


HANDLE hfile;
HGLOBAL hmem;

Maybe Microsoft caught their error. I got my WinHlp as part of my Windows supplied with my computer. On my machine there is one copy of some code and then an exact duplicate of the same section. It...

Since I closed my thread, I will just open this new one for a comment.

I told you I had discovered an item in WinHelp called:

"Opening and displaying a bitmap file" If you want a laugh when...

Prior to sending such a large block of code, I re-read the thread on
enclosing my code in code and /code. When back lighting my code
and hitting the provided button which I assumed would complete...

I have to admit I haven't mastered the method you guys want when including code. I back lit all the code and hit the button "Wrap code tags around code" found above. Last button on the right. Clue me...

I've tried to clean down this code so that it will demonstrate my problem but
contains little else. Just enough to make a window. This code will compile on
"BCC32" or "cl". I can't figure out why...

I don't know if I am the only one having trouble with StretchBlt
or if my symtom is a normal situation.

StrechBlt works fine as I zoom the picture larger. I expect the
pic to loose quality if I...

Problem solved. I learned quite a bit from the help I've gotten from this site.

thanks again.

First let me thank you for setting up my code correctly. I read the thread that
told me to put <code> at the top and bottom. I assumed that the system would handle the rest when sent. Now I know...

I didn't want to fill up a thread with a bunch of code, but I couldn't find a way to attach a file to an e-mail using this site's "send a message" system. I would have inserted the .CPP file.

Your suggestion worked like a charm.

After seeing so many viewers looking at my thread I
thought maybe I would have to put the source code in
so people could understand what I was talking...

I think I may have confused the issue based on the above reply. Instead of calling my functions "DoPaint", I should have called them "DoChaChaCha" I am doing some painting in the function but I am...

I was trying to send mouse positions to my status bar in
a larger program. I could not get them to write more than
one position to the status bar, then it stops changing.

I have been using the Borland BCC32 compiler and love the CPP32 line numbering tool. Now I want to switch to the cl.exe compiler. Is there a tool like CPP32 in the Microsoft system?
