WIC-Enabled Codecs C++ Tutorial: Saving an Image File
See Also

This tutorial shows how to use the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to save image files. After completing the tutorial, register any or all of the LEAD WIC-Enabled Codecs. You will then be able to save any of these image formats without recompiling the demo.

Start with the tutorial that you created in WIC-Enabled Codecs C++ Tutorial: Loading an Image File

First, you will create a Save dialog by hooking into the standard Windows Save Common Dialog.

  1. In Solution Explorer, double-click on Tutorial.rc to display the Resource View.
  2. Right-click the Dialog tree view item and choose Insert Dialog from the menu.
  3. Open the Dialog tree view item. Select the IDD_DIALOG1 item in the tree view. In the properties, change the ID to IDD_DIALOG_SAVE_TEMPLATE

  4. Double-click Combo Box from the toolbox to add a combo box to the dialog. Change the ID to IDC_COMBO_PIXEL_FORMAT

  5. Add a static text item with ID IDC_STATIC_PIXEL_FORMAT

  6. Close the Resource View, right-click Tutorial.rc and select View Code.
  7. Search for IDD_DIALOG_SAVE_TEMPLATE in  Tutorial.rc to find the dialog that you just created.  Replace it with the following:

        IDD_DIALOG_SAVE_TEMPLATE DIALOGEX 0, 0, 423, 77
    STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_3DLOOK | DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_CONTROL | WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_SYSMENU
    FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 400, 0, 0x1
    BEGIN
        LTEXT           "&Pixel Format:",IDC_STATIC,67,2,53,8
        COMBOBOX        IDC_COMBO_PIXEL_FORMAT,130,0,147,213,CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
    END

  8. Open stdafx.h and add the following headers under the C RunTime Header Files section. The reason for adding each header is shown as a comment to the left. 
      
    #include <vector>  // To maintain a dynamic array with information about each encoder
    #include <dlgs.h>  // Contains constants for accessing Save Dialog items
  9. Also add the following to the end of stdafx.h.
        #include "resource.h"

  10. In Solution Explorer, right-click the Source Files tree view item. Choose Add->New Item. Choose C++(.cpp) file. For the name, enter SaveDlg.cpp

Next, customize the standard Windows Common Save dialog. The Save as type static text box will programmatically be changed to display Encoders. In this combo box, all the available WIC-Enabled Encoders on your system will be displayed. Also, a Pixel Format combo box is added. This will display the available pixel formats for the selected encoder.

  1. Add the following code to SaveDlg.cpp:

        // SaveDlg.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"
extern HINSTANCE hInst;
extern IWICBitmapSource  *gpiBitmapSource;

IWICImagingFactory *gpiImagingFactory = NULL;

      GetDefaultExtension();
   }

         wcscpy_s(psz, uLen, m_csExtensions.GetBuffer());
         token = wcstok_s(psz, seps, &next_token);
         while (token != NULL)

               m_csDefaultExtension = token;

            token = wcstok_s( NULL, seps, &next_token);
         }
      }

  2. Open tutorial.cpp. Add a forward declaration for MySaveDialog in the Forward declarations of functions included in this code module section.
    // Forward declarations of functions included in this code module: 
HRESULT MySaveDialog(HWND hWnd);

  3. Open tutorial.cpp and in WndProc add a case for ID_FILE_SAVE after the ID_FILE_OPEN case.
        case ID_FILE_SAVE:
        MySaveDialog(hWnd);
        break;

  4. Modify SetGlobalBitmaps  to keep a copy of the currently displayed image in the global variable gpiBitmapSource. Modify FreeGlobalBitmaps to release the gpiBitmapSource.
    BOOL FreeGlobalBitmaps()
{
   BOOL bRet = FALSE;
   // Release any existing global bitmaps

   if (gpGdiPlusBitmap)
   {
      delete gpGdiPlusBitmap;
      gpGdiPlusBitmap= NULL;
      bRet = TRUE;
   }

   if (gpiBitmapSource)
   {
      gpiBitmapSource->Release();
      gpiBitmapSource = NULL;
      bRet = TRUE;
   }
   return bRet;
}

void SetGlobalBitmaps(IWICBitmapSource *piBitmapSource)
{
   Bitmap *pGdiPlusBitmap = NULL;
   BYTE *pbGdiPlusBuffer = NULL;
   if (!piBitmapSource)
      return;

   BitmapSourceToGdiPlusBitmap(piBitmapSource, &pGdiPlusBitmap, &pbGdiPlusBuffer);
   if (pGdiPlusBitmap)
   {
      FreeGlobalBitmaps();
      gpGdiPlusBitmap= pGdiPlusBitmap;
      gpiBitmapSource = piBitmapSource;
      gpiBitmapSource->AddRef();
   }
}

  5. Compile and run your program.
  6. Open an image file. The File->Save menu item should now be enabled. Choose File->Save.
    The file save dialog is displayed. An Encoders combo box with all avaiable WIC-enabled encoders is displayed. As you choose different encoders, the Pixel Format combo box is updated with the available pixel formats. The save dialog displays all the options, but does not yet save the image file.

  7. Search for the following line of code in the function MySaveDialog. It is commented out. Uncomment this line of code.
          hr = EncoderSave(ofn.lpstrFile, &mySaveDlgData);

  8. Add the EncoderSave function immediately before the function MySaveDialog. Also add the utility functions PaletteColorCount, CopyBitmapSourcePalette, and BitmapSourceToBitmapFrameEncode. This function creates a file using the encoder and pixel format that was selected in the save dialog. 
    UINT PaletteColorCount(GUID guidPixelFormat)
{
   UINT uPaletteColorCount = 0;
    if (GUID_WICPixelFormat1bppIndexed == guidPixelFormat)

    }
    else if (GUID_WICPixelFormat4bppIndexed == guidPixelFormat)
    {
        uPaletteColorCount = 16;
    }
    else if (GUID_WICPixelFormat8bppIndexed == guidPixelFormat)
    {
        uPaletteColorCount = 256;
    }

    return uPaletteColorCount;
}

  9. Compile and run your program.
You are now able to save an image file using WIC. At this point, you can register different LEAD Bimap Decoders (see Registering the LEAD WIC-Enabled Codecs. Note that you will be able to save any of these new image formats without recompiling this demo!
