Hi, I've read this article about copying a bmp (from an opengl windows) to the clipboard and it work but i would like to copy directly to a .bmp file. it's written that it's done in a few lines but didn't reach to do it. if someone could tell me which line remove and which line add, it would be great article : http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/G-M/ope...ticle.php/c2711 Thank you in advance

true link : http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/G-M/opengl/article.php/c2711

sorry

I think this is what you need. Since it is already saved in that first part you will use this to save it -


I think you will replace this block of code with the previous -


I think that's about it. Hope it helps.

[edit] The missing function you need are on this page and this page

ok thx a lot, i'm gonna try this now, i will tell you if it works like this

here is a part of my function, i had to put MemDC in the place of dc, now i have a result but the image is all black, maybe a little change to do, i will search

thx for your solution, if you see what i have to corect... :-)


// Get client geometry
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
CSize size(rect.Width(),rect.Height());

// Lines have to be 32 bytes aligned, suppose 24 bits per pixel
// I just cropped it
size.cx -= size.cx % 4;

// Create a bitmap and select it in the device context
// Note that this will never be used ;-) but no matter
CBitmap bitmap;
CDC *pDC = GetDC();
CDC MemDC;
ASSERT(MemDC.CreateCompatibleDC(NULL));
ASSERT(bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDC,size.cx,size.cy));
MemDC.SelectObject(&bitmap);

// Alloc pixel bytes
int NbBytes = 3 * size.cx * size.cy;
unsigned char *pPixelData = new unsigned char[NbBytes];

// Copy from OpenGL
::glReadPixels(0,0,size.cx,size.cy,GL_BGR_EXT,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,pPixelData); // mis GL_BRG a la place de GL_RGB car inverse ds opengl

// Fill header
BITMAPINFOHEADER header;
header.biWidth = size.cx;
header.biHeight = size.cy;
header.biSizeImage = NbBytes;
header.biSize = 40;
header.biPlanes = 1;
header.biBitCount = 3 * 8; // RGB
header.biCompression = 0;
header.biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
header.biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
header.biClrUsed = 0;
header.biClrImportant = 0;

// Create logical palette if device support a palette
CPalette pal;
// CWindowDC dc= GetDC();

if( MemDC.GetDeviceCaps(RASTERCAPS) & RC_PALETTE )
{
UINT nSize = sizeof(LOGPALETTE) + (sizeof(PALETTEENTRY) * 256);
LOGPALETTE *pLP = (LOGPALETTE *) new BYTE[nSize];
pLP->palVersion = 0x300;

pLP->palNumEntries =
GetSystemPaletteEntries( MemDC, 0, 255, pLP->palPalEntry );

// Create the palette
pal.CreatePalette( pLP );

delete[] pLP;
}

Yea I tried it as well and got all black. I think it has to do with something in the way the data is being saved. I will let you know if I can find a solution as well.

ok thx it would be great

i'm going to sleep on this.

Do we need really the function DDBToDIB ?

there is no simple thing to do to replace these lines which put all in the clipboard (for putting in a file instead?):

// Push DIB in clipboard
OpenClipboard();
EmptyClipboard();
SetClipboardData(CF_DIB,handle);
CloseClipboard();

I think there is but I do not know what :(. I was looking to see how to find to save the clipboard into a bmp, but thats not going so well, but you are on the right track.

nobody know how to do?

i retry this morning but still not find
