I need a custom Rich-Edit control for making a text processing application. It must be Open-Source so that I can add my own feature. The windows default Rich-Edit controls are buggy for me cause I'm using my own font ( Bangla Font ). I've used all version of windows Rich-Edit but none those works well for me.
So now I need an owner drawn Rich-Edit control which must be Open-Source and also should include all the features of windows rich edit control.
I've searched on Google but have not found any useful.
If anybody know, Please give me the website link.
Take a look at Scintilla
It's Open Source and Notepad++ uses it.
EDIT: since Scintilla isn't really made for that kind of rich edit you could download Open Office's source code and find out how they do it.

I want to play a video of some type/format in my c++ program, i have installed Allegro 4.2.2 and Allegro5 along with both MSVC10 and MSVC13, i don't want to use any other library as they are a bit difficult to understand, if there is an easier way then tell me else tell me how to accomplish this task with Allegro?
As of Allegro5.1, there is a video
addon (it is not available in
5.0).
There is an
example
included in the allegro5 repository demonstrating how to use it.
The general gist is:
Invoke al_init_video_addon
Open the video with al_open_video
Start the video with al_start_video
Get the current frame as a bitmap with al_get_video_frame
Draw that bitmap with the usual bitmap drawing functions (al_draw_*_bitmap)
Repeat 4-5 during your game loop, then invoke al_close_video when you are done.
In the example they use al_draw_scaled_bitmap to scale the bitmap to the
screen; just take a look at the comments.
Note that you will need to link the video addon when linking your program
(-lallegro_video).

I working on a Metro Style application that need to render PDF documents (only viewing). I am looking for a library to render a .pdf document on the screen, preferably one I can include in my "commercial" app (pdf viewing is only a side functionality). Unfortunately, Windows 8 (atleast in the Dev Preview) does not have native PDF support :(
Any suggestions for a library? I am writing my app in C++/Cx.
Minor addition: Third-party options shall not use APIs that are not allowed in Metro Style apps. :-/
Alternatively, I need a PDF parser and I will try to create my own Direct2D renderer (might work ok for simple PDFs).
You could use Ghostscript, or MuPDF, I'm sure there are others. Both will require programming on your part. Both are available under commercial licences as well as GPL.
Windows 8.1 (Blue) will include PDF viwer and editor APIs (WinRT based). Therefore, this seems to be the easiest solution for my scenario.
Here's a list of development libraries on wikipedia that lists the different license types and languages alongside. Quite useful, though probably not exhaustive.
At the time of writing, ones that much your requirements of C++, Windows with a commercial license are:
Adobe PDF Library
LEADTOOLS
PDFTron

I'm needing to do some screen layout proposals, and really like the look of the pictures used in Joel's Mercurial tutorial, example here:
http://hginit.com/01.html
Can someone enlighten me on what tool(s) will generate this kind of output?
I guess a related question would be if people have a favorite screen mock up tool? It's not a requirement for me that the mockup be "functional".
Thanks!
Mike
It looks like balsamiq to me; the Comic Sans is a dead giveaway...
Edit: I’ve used balsamiq for screen mock-ups, and it’s very good. The only downside is that it is not free. And it uses Comic sans! ;)
I agree with Sébastien, but would like to point out that Pencil might enable you to produce similar-looking mockups.
this looks like toolbar buttons used in the command line window
it took me a sec to realize you have to set the window widget's properties to display the buttons as shown to get them to show up

I am looking for an online file conversion site which converts DOCX, DOC, PPT, PDF etc. to JPG files using an API (RESTful etc.).
I do not mind paying for the service but am unable to find an such service online.
One that might work for you is convertapi (http://www.convertapi.com/).
I recently used this to enable the following conversions for an app :
doc/docx --> PDF
ppt --> jpg
doc/docx --> jpg
They have a very simple REST api that's easy to implement : (http://www.convertapi.com/api/word-pdf-api)
You probably should also have a look at the CloudConvert API, which, as far as I know, supports your mentioned formats.
Convertapi doesn't do ppt --> jpg at the moment.

I am looking for a redistributable component to convert HTML to PDF.
I would - at the moment - like to avoid using a "PDF printer", as this requires a printer installation and some user "playing around" in the printers panel might break that feature.
The HTML is available in a Browser control or as external file. The HTML is normally fairly simple, but customers can create their own templates, so a "good range" of HTML should be supported.
Should be accessible for an automated process from C++ - DLL / COM / external executable with command line support are all fine.
Commercial is fine, but in the thousands is not an option right now.
So, which components do you know or can you recommend?
PDFCreator can function as a virtual printer but it's also usable via COM. The default setup even includes COM examples.
You can check the COM samples in the SourceForge SVN repository right here: http://pdfcreator.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pdfcreator/trunk/COM/
If you have Microsoft Word installed, I guess you could automate the whole process using the "save as pdf" plugin that can be downloaded from the Microsoft Office Site.
You would automate word then open the HTML document inside word, then output as PDF. Might be worth a shot, if you're developing in a Microsoft Environment.
