mfc >> Animated bitmap or avi in top right of application - how to do?

by Gene Sewell » Thu, 27 Nov 2003 03:50:58 GMT

Hi,

I want to emulate Internet Explorer's top right animated bitmap (or avi
file).

I want to start the animation to show my application is busy, and stop
it when it's idle - just as IE behaves.

Looking at IE, their animated bitmap is really at the far right of the
top main menu bar.

I've searched a lot, and found no hints on how to do this, which is
surprising to me, since I would think many folks would want to copy IE's
behavior.

Anyone have any hints on how to get this behavior?

thanks,

Gene

Take a look at example MFCIE in MSDN. It shows how to put that animation in a rebar
similar to IE using MFC. In addition, there are examples at www.codeguru.com if you want
to do it differently.

1. Problem with refreshing animated bitmap 

Hello,

I've got quite a problem with which I've been strugling whole day and
can't pass through it. I've got a problem with OnPaint which doesn't
work as it should be ( after trying countless samples from @groups,
and various sites. Here's the code:

void My_CMainWnd::OnPaint ()
{
	CPaintDC dc(this);
	dcMem->CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
	CBitmap *pOldBitmap = new CBitmap;
	pOldBitmap = dcMem->SelectObject(myEng->TloBitmap);
	CRect rcClient;
	GetClientRect(&rcClient);
	myEng->BBitmap->DrawTransparent(dcMem,myEng->Balls->BCoordinates-
>x,myEng->Balls->BCoordinates->y,RGB(255,0,255));
	dc.BitBlt(0,0,rcClient.Width(),rcClient.Height(),dcMem,0,0,SRCCOPY);
	dcMem->SelectObject(pOldBitmap);
}

7. Am I doing it right? 

Hi All

Can someone tell me if I am doing this correctly, or can possibly suggest better ways, if I'm not doing this correctly.

I have a windows application that I am writing,So I have a UI and I have another class that handles the inserts,updates etc to a specific table/s in  the database,(I actually have multiple classes that do more or less the same thing, but for different sets of tables in the database) Then in my UI code I have a dataset that I fill by calling a method from one of my classes, that returns a datatable, and I add that table to my dataset in the UI. When I want to add/delete/update data, I do so in the UI's dataset and send the specific datatable in the ui's dataset to the class to update the database. Am I doing this correctly?

I'm sure there is probably a way to cut out the multiple classes for each table or set of tables, like create a base class? but how do I do that? Anyone got any links I can go to for this - if it is a better solution? I did this "multiple classes for tables/sets of tables" because of the layout of the tables, each table of course has different column names, and data types, and there are times when I need to reference a specific column etc.

But overall, am I approaching this correctly? Any insight into streamlining this is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot
