Low-Level DigitalPaint: Initializing and Freeing a Paint Handle

Take the following steps to create a new paint handle:

  1. Run Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, select File New Project, and do the following:
    • Expand Visual C++ tree, if it is not already expanded.
    • Select Win32 from the sub tree.
    • Select Win32 Project from the right window.
    • In the Project name text box, specify Tutorial.
    • In the Location text box, specify the path of the project.
    • Click the OK button.
  2. In the overview window, click Next.
  3. In the Application Type step dialog box, do the following:
    • Select Windows application.
    • Be sure to un-check the Empty project checkbox.
    • Click the Finish button.
  4. Add the following Menu to the tutorial.rc:
    • In File menu:
      • &Open
      • with ID = IDM_FILE_OPEN
  5. In Tutorial.cpp replace the WndProc procedure with the following code:
    static LRESULT WINAPI WndProc ( HWND hWnd, L_UINT uMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ) 
    { 
       static BITMAPHANDLE hBitmap ;

       static L_INT nVScroll = 0 ; 
       static L_INT nHScroll = 0 ; 
       static L_INT nZoomFactor = 100 ; 
       static pPAINTHANDLE pPaint ; 
        
       switch( uMessage ) 
       { 
          case WM_CREATE: 
          if ( SUCCESS == L_PntInit ( &pPaint ) ) 
          { 
             return 0L ; 
          } 
          else

          } 
           
           
          case WM_DESTROY: 
          if ( hBitmap.Flags.Allocated ) 
          {

          }

          { 
             L_PntFree ( pPaint ) ; 
          } 
           
          PostQuitMessage ( 0 ) ; 
           
          return 0L ; 
           
          case WM_SIZE: 
          OnSize ( hWnd,

          nZoomFactor, 
          &nHScroll,

                   ReleaseDC ( hWnd, hDC ) ; 
                    
                   {//ADJUST WINDOW SIZE 
                       
                      RECT  rcWindow ; 
                      L_INT nWidth, nHeight ; 
                       
                       
                      SystemParametersInfo ( SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &rcWindow, 0 ) ; 
                       
                      nWidth = min ( MulDiv ( BITMAPWIDTH ( &hBitmap ), nZoomFactor, 100 ), 
                      ( rcWindow.right  - rcWindow.left ) ) ; 
                       
                      nHeight = min ( MulDiv ( BITMAPHEIGHT ( &hBitmap ), nZoomFactor, 100 ),

       if (L_DlgOpen( hWnd, &OpenFileName, &FileOpenParams) == SUCCESS_DLG_OK) 
       { 
          L_CopyBitmap(pBitmap, FileOpenParams.pFileData[0].pBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE));

       else 
       {

  7. Add the following lines in _tWinMain after  HACCEL hAccelTable;
    UNLOCKSUPPORT ( ) ; 
    L_DlgInit(DLG_INIT_COLOR); 
  8. In stdafx.h add the following headers: (keep in mind, you may have to change the path to where the header files reside):
    #include <commdlg.h> 
      
    #include "..\..\..\..\..\Include\ltpnt.h" 
    #include "..\..\..\..\..\Include\l_bitmap.h" 
    #include "..\..\..\..\..\Include\ltdlg.h" 
  9. Add the following code before the function "PostQuitMessage" call in the WM_DESTROY message in the WndProc function:

    if ( SUCCESS == L_PntIsValid ( pPaint ) ) 
    { 
       L_PntFree ( pPaint ) ; 
    } 

  10. Create a new file called Imports.cpp in place it beside your project files.

    • In the Project Workspace, click the Solution Explorer tab.
    • Double-click the ToolbarTutorial folder to open it.
    • Right-click the Source files folder and select Add New item.
    • Right-click on the Source file
    • Expand Visual C++ tree, if it is not already expanded.
    • Select Code from the sub tree.
    • Select C++ File (.cpp) from the right window.
    • In the name text box, specify Imports.
    • Click the OK button.
    • Double-click the Imports.cpp in the solution Explorer and add the following lines: (keep in mind, you may have to change the path to where the header files reside)
      #include "StdAfx.h" 
        
      #if defined(FOR_WIN64) 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\x64\\Ltkrn_x.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\x64\\Ltdis_x.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\x64\\Ltdlgkrn_x.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\x64\\Ltdlgfile_x.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\x64\\Ltpnt_x.lib") 
      #elif defined(FOR_WIN32) 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\Win32\\Ltkrn_u.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\Win32\\Ltdis_u.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\Win32\\Ltdlgkrn_u.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\Win32\\Ltdlgfile_u.lib") 
         #pragma comment(lib, "..\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Lib\\CDLLVC10\\Win32\\Ltpnt_u.lib") 
      #endif // #if defined(FOR_WIN64)
