Developer's Corner / Question concerning a program for converting RAW pictures to PGM file formats...

« on: September 21, 2007, 10:44 PM »

Ok, so... I am writing a nice little utility to convert a RAW picture file to a PGM file. Everything works great. Coding came out nice and it does exactly what I need it to do. However, I was wondering if there is anyway to convert a PGM file to JPEG format using C.

alright... so... I think that I lost my cd's for the New Borland C++Builder 2006... I have all of my licensing and everything... I was just wondering if there was any way to get a copy of the cd's without having to purchase the new software... I mean, my software is registered on Borland and I have all of the receipts and everything... I just misplace my cd case...

Developer's Corner / Registry Help...

« on: March 12, 2007, 01:24 PM »

I have many different programs that I have written but I have not been able to register them with windows so that when u double-click the executable it doesn't prompt you to Allow the program to run... I know that alot of installers offer the option but I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it using a batch file or with Visual C++... All I need to learn how to do is create an entry in the registry so that windows automatically knows that the program is safe...

Developer's Corner / Writing Files to an FTP with a Buffer using BCB 2006...

« on: January 23, 2007, 09:10 PM »

Is it possible for anyone to explain to me how to upload a file to an FTP site using BCB 2006... Apparently, there is no TIdFTP->Upload() function that allows you to do everything automated... At least, I don't know of one... You have to open IO streams and such and I dont know the proper edicate for that... If anyone could fill me in on the "how-to's" that would be great!

Developer's Corner / Error with BDS 2006 concerning Indy 10... Help!

« on: January 22, 2007, 06:09 PM »

I have a brand new install of Borland Developer Studio 2006 with a registered copy of Borland C++ Builder 2006. I go to create a new VCL form project and it opens. I add a component under the section of 'Indy Clients'; the component name is 'TIdFTP'... I compile it with defined properties or the default ones and it says, "Please specify the location for the header file"... Okay, no biggie I find the file entitled, "IdExplicitTLSClientServerBase.hpp" under the folder 'Indy 10'... It accepts that but when I go to compile it, it gives me an error saying, "#error Indy 10 does not currently support C++Builder" that was generated in the 'IdWinsock2.hpp' file as part of the coding supposedly... I have no idea why this is happening and I need to fix it because I need to use the "Passive" ftp property on this component for a FTP application ASAP... Plz, let me know if you have any solutions to this because I need to fix this as soon as possible. Thank you for your time!

Okay, so I have a confession... I have been using a way out-dated version of Borland C++ Builder... ugh... Version 4.0... I know... way out-dated! Anywho, I have finally decided to switch to Borland C++ Builder 2006 (Pro. Suite)... I need as much help as possible with the thing... If you know of any good walkthrough video's or anything that could benefit me like walkthroughs, FAQs, Guides, Components or anything of that sort please post them below.

General Software Discussion / Switching to VoIP chat...

« on: August 14, 2006, 09:38 PM »

Mouser, have you thought of offering some sort of VoIP client for chatting... It would be very cool and I think alot of people would be able to learn alot more if that was available since talking is alot easier than typing... You could definately still keep the mIRC but offer something like Teamspeak or Ventrilo as well for those people who have good internet connections... I have used Teamspeak and Ventrilo both and they are wonderful VoIP programs... Just a thought for ya!

Developer's Corner / Help with P2P and VoIP BCB Programming...

« on: August 13, 2006, 06:58 PM »

I am using Borland's C++ Builder 4.0 but I also have Borland 2006 as well... I would like to incorporate a simple P2P file sharing feature for a future program that I am creating (new version of vortex.) I have been looking into this option and have already received a few recommendations... Only problem is that I still haven't gotten anywhere... I am a hands on learner... Show me source code for something one time and if i understand it, I wont forget it for a long time... Is it possible that somebody could program an example for me to look at using BCB 4.0 or even Borland C++ Builder 2006... I would be more than happy and willing to tip the person a few DonationCredits if they can help me out with this... I prefer BCB 4.0, so if you can get a hold of that and script it in that, It would make me the happiest person alive... I also need this example thingy done for Voice over IP... so if you know how to do either one... Please re-post...

Borland C++ Builder Contest / Vortex Chat - Client Version

« on: July 08, 2006, 09:42 AM »

My first official program ever! lol!:

Okey doke! So, with the contest coming up soon, (the day after my BDay to be exact), i figured i would post some screens about my program. It's called Vortex Chat... It uses a simple server/client socket for sending/receiving text data. It uses complex string manipulations to interperut commands from the server. It has a media player for those of you who like to chat while enjoying some music and a theme option for those of you who like to make the program look differently. It currently only has one skin at the moment... I am working on a Skin Pack tho... Been kind of busy with the core functions of the program. There is a "Who's Online?" list for those of you curious about ur friends online status... It has some dif settings that you can see in the pics below.

Practically speaking, It's purpose is to serve the community as a freeware chat program becuase when u search for freeware chat programs they generally end up having some kind of spy-ware, are hard to find, or even cost money in the end... I will be bundling the server with the client so that home offices or small businesses can set up their own private chat servers for inter-activities... It's simple to use and everyone compatible! You can sign on to the program with one click of a button! No registrations or anything like that... Let's say you have family members that you would like to chat with... Well, all you have to do, being the computer literate person, is configure one file, open the server up and click start... then, send it to a friend and they log right on! It's easy to use, i promise...

FUTURE PLANS:
Drag-N-Drop file sharing! thats def. coming soon! Already working on it...
More Themes/skins

At the moment, I have a sort of 'Test Lobby' server up. which is basically for those of you who want to log on now and check this thing out... You can download it here: http://www.nlgamers.com/uploads/vortex.zip!

Here are some screens:

The intro/login screen!




Once, the server has verified that your username isn't already logged on... You can join!


The Media Player panel is open!


Settings Tab 1


Settings Tab 2

Post New Requests Here / Help... Skinning for BCB 4.0x!

« on: June 26, 2006, 10:16 AM »

I have purchased both Borland C++ Builder 4.0 and the new 2006 one for my bday! I prefer using the 4.0 one right now b/c i have not completely picked up all the new stuff in 6.0 yet... Very familiar with 4.0 and needed some help skinning some app's... Is it possible that someone can either give me a sample app and a walkthrough or perhaps maybe write me a quick walkthrough explaining it??? This would greatly be appreciated... Thank you for your time!
