C/C++ Opening a bit map in Visual C++

AI Thread Summary
Opening and editing bitmap files in Visual C++ can be achieved through various methods, including using built-in functions in .NET or leveraging graphics libraries. While some participants express skepticism about using Visual C++ as a graphics editor, others emphasize its potential for educational purposes, particularly in image processing projects. There are numerous libraries and code snippets available for handling bitmap files, and given the simplicity of the bitmap format, creating a custom implementation is also a viable option. The discussion highlights the importance of exploring existing resources and documentation, such as the C help file, to find the necessary functions for bitmap manipulation.

Could someone recommend a way to open and edit a bitmap file in Visual C++?

code one? PLenty of packages out there...GL has a their own function and I'm pretty sure .net has an embedded function also. Search the Help option in .net
 
You're trying to use Visual C++ as a graphics editor? I don't know if that's possible. neurocomp is suggesting ways to write programs which read and write bitmaps.

You can do it.
Lots of calls to kernal and user dll.
Search the C help file for bitmap functions.
Don't know if I'd want to do that much work now that you can find an editor to open almost anything.
 
what I am interested in...

What I am really interested in is using VC++ to do the projects in a image processing textbook. Nothing practical, just a learning exercise. I have to be able to open and manipulate a bitmap though to get to square one...
 
You should be able to find 100,000 different libraries and snippets of code for opening and reading bitmaps. In fact, the bitmap is so simple that you might even just consider writing your own implementation.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
