Loading Bitmaps onto WinAPI Window(NO FORM!) From .res Files - delphi

i have a Win32 API Application in Delphi 2007 with no form and would like to load a bitmap from a .res file. Been looking around for two day's and just can't seem to find anything on this subject so was time to post. :)
Assuming i need to add code to "WM_PAINT" message just not sure what to add. maybe could use GDI.
/Thanks.
EDIT:
function WndProc(hWin: HWnd; Msg, WParam, LParam: Longint): Longint; stdcall;
var
hbmp: HBITMAP;
ps: PAINTSTRUCT;
DC, hdcMem: HDC;
bmp: BITMAP;
oldBitmap: HGDIOBJ;
begin
case Msg of
WM_CREATE:
begin
hbmp := LoadImage(HInstance, 'C:\test_img.bmp', IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE); // Never called H2077 Value assigned to 'hbmp' never used
ShowMessage('Im Here'); // Called
Result := 0;
Exit;
end;
WM_PAINT:
begin
hbmp := LoadImage(HInstance, 'C:\test_img.bmp', IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE); // Called
DC := BeginPaint(hWin, ps);
hdcMem := CreateCompatibleDC(DC);
oldBitmap := SelectObject(hdcMem, hbmp);
GetObject(hbmp, SizeOf(bmp), #bmp);
BitBlt(DC, 0, 0, bmp.bmWidth, bmp.bmHeight, hdcMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
SelectObject(hdcMem, oldBitmap);
DeleteDC(hdcMem);
DeleteObject(hbmp);
EndPaint(hWin, ps);
Result := 0;
Exit;
end;
WM_DESTROY:
begin
PostQuitMessage(0);
Result := 0;
Exit;
end;
end;
Result := DefWindowProc(hWin, Msg, WParam, LParam);
end;
Am i right in thinking that WM_CREATE is the equivalent of Form1.OnCreate and WM_DESTROY is Form1.OnDestroy ect..

Look at the TBitmap class in the Graphics unit. It has LoadFromResourceName() and LoadFromResourceID() methods.

printer settings don't change (winapi: documentproperties)

Language: delphi 6
I succeeded in opening the dialog using documentproperties.
However, I changed the settings and clicked OK, but it does not change.
I want to change the paper to A3.
Please tell me how to do it.
code:
var
FPrinterHandle:THandle;
aDevice: array[0..255] of char;
DevMode: PDeviceMode;
StubDevMode: TDeviceMode;
DeviceMode: THandle;
begin
strpcopy(aDevice, Combobox1.Text);
if OpenPrinter(aDevice,FPrinterHandle,nil) then begin
DeviceMode := GlobalAlloc(GHND, DocumentProperties(self.handle, FPrinterHandle, ADevice, StubDevMode, StubDevMode, 0));
if DeviceMode <> 0 then begin
DevMode := GlobalLock(DeviceMode);
DocumentProperties(0, FPrinterHandle, ADevice, DevMode^, DevMode^, DM_OUT_BUFFER);
DevMode^.dmFields := DM_PAPERSIZE;
DevMode^.dmPaperSize := DMPAPER_A3;
DocumentProperties(0, FPrinterHandle, ADevice, DevMode^, DevMode^, DM_OUT_BUFFER or DM_IN_BUFFER);
GlobalUnlock(DeviceMode);
GlobalFree(DeviceMode);
end;
end;
end;
It's not the code I wrote, it's from somewhere. Hope it helps.
Pass the printer name and desired paper size as parameters. (I used GetPrinter procedure)
If parameter(integer) is 0, it is set to A3, and if it is 1, it is set to A4.
And when I printed pdf file with shellexecute, I checked that it prints in the desired size.
※ Before print, the tray of the printer should be set to 'automatic selection'.
procedure SetPrinterInfo(APrinterName: PChar; Psize: Integer);
var
HPrinter : THandle;
InfoSize, BytesNeeded: Cardinal;
DevMode: PDeviceMode;
PI2: PPrinterInfo2;
PrinterDefaults: TPrinterDefaults;
begin
with PrinterDefaults do
begin
DesiredAccess := PRINTER_ACCESS_USE;
pDatatype := nil;
pDevMode := nil;
end;
if OpenPrinter(APrinterName, HPrinter, #PrinterDefaults) then
try
SetLastError(0);
//Determine the number of bytes to allocate for the PRINTER_INFO_2 construct...
if not GetPrinter(HPrinter, 2, nil, 0, #BytesNeeded) then
begin
//Allocate memory space for the PRINTER_INFO_2 pointer (PrinterInfo2)...
PI2 := AllocMem(BytesNeeded);
try
InfoSize := SizeOf(TPrinterInfo2);
if GetPrinter(HPrinter, 2, PI2, BytesNeeded, #BytesNeeded) then
begin
DevMode := PI2.pDevMode;
DevMode.dmFields := DevMode.dmFields or DM_PAPERSIZE;
if Psize = 0 then DevMode.dmPaperSize := DMPAPER_A3
else if Psize = 1 then DevMode.dmPaperSize := DMPAPER_A4;
PI2.pSecurityDescriptor := nil;
// Apply settings to the printer
if DocumentProperties(0, hPrinter, APrinterName, PI2.pDevMode^,
PI2.pDevMode^, DM_IN_BUFFER or DM_OUT_BUFFER) = IDOK then
begin
SetPrinter(HPrinter, 2, PI2, 0); // Ignore the result of this call...
end;
end;
finally
FreeMem(PI2, BytesNeeded);
end;
end;
finally
ClosePrinter(HPrinter);
end;
end;

How to get icon for hidden file (like Explorer) for ListView in Delphi?

I useSHGetFileInfo('', 0, aFileInfo, SizeOf(TSHFileInfo), SHGFI_ICON or SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX) to extract an icon list in TImageList and then associate index with TListView. Which flag I must use to get hidden style like Explorer?
To the best of my knowledge, the system does not offer such functionality. You need to create faded icons yourself, based on the original icon. You can use a function along these lines to do that:
function CreateFadedIcon(Icon: HICON): HICON;
type
TRGBA = record
B,G,R,A: Byte
end;
procedure InitialiseBitmapInfoHeader(Width, Height: Integer; var bih: BITMAPINFOHEADER);
begin
bih.biSize := SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
bih.biWidth := Width;
bih.biHeight := 2*Height;//height of xor bitmap plus height of and bitmap
bih.biPlanes := 1;
bih.biBitCount := 32;
bih.biCompression := BI_RGB;
end;
procedure CreateXORbitmap(const sbih, dbih: BITMAPINFOHEADER; sptr, dptr: PDWORD);
var
i, j: Integer;
begin
for i := 0 to sbih.biHeight-1 do begin
for j := 0 to sbih.biWidth-1 do begin
dptr^ := sptr^;
TRGBA(dptr^).A := TRGBA(dptr^).A div 3;
inc(dptr);//relies on the fact that no padding is needed for RGBA scanlines
inc(sptr);//likewise
end;
end;
end;
var
IconInfo: TIconInfo;
sBits, xorBits: PDWORD;
xorScanSize, andScanSize: Integer;
xorBitsSize, andBitsSize: Integer;
sbih: BITMAPINFOHEADER;
dbih: ^BITMAPINFOHEADER;
resbitsSize: DWORD;
resbits: Pointer;
begin
Result := 0;
Try
if not GetIconInfo(Icon, IconInfo) then begin
exit;
end;
Try
GetDIBheaderAndBits(IconInfo.hbmColor, sbih, Pointer(sBits));
if Assigned(sBits) then begin
Try
if (sbih.biPlanes<>1) or (sbih.biBitCount<>32) then begin
exit;
end;
xorScanSize := BytesPerScanline(sbih.biWidth, 32, 32);
Assert(xorScanSize=SizeOf(DWORD)*sbih.biWidth);
andScanSize := BytesPerScanline(sbih.biWidth, 1, 32);
xorBitsSize := sbih.biHeight*xorScanSize;
andBitsSize := sbih.biHeight*andScanSize;
resbitsSize := SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER) + xorBitsSize + andBitsSize;
resbits := AllocMem(resbitsSize);//AllocMem zeroises the memory
Try
dbih := resbits;
InitialiseBitmapInfoHeader(sbih.biWidth, sbih.biHeight, dbih^);
xorBits := resbits;
inc(PByte(xorBits), SizeOf(BITMAPINFOHEADER));
CreateXORbitmap(sbih, dbih^, sBits, xorBits);
//don't need to fill in the mask bitmap when using RGBA
Result := CreateIconFromResourceEx(resbits, resbitsSize, True, $00030000, sbih.biWidth, sbih.biHeight, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);
Finally
FreeMem(resbits);
End;
Finally
FreeMem(sBits);
End;
end;
Finally
if IconInfo.hbmMask<>0 then begin
DeleteObject(IconInfo.hbmMask);
end;
if IconInfo.hbmColor<>0 then begin
DeleteObject(IconInfo.hbmColor);
end;
End;
Finally
DestroyIcon(Icon);
End;
end;

Unsuccessfully trying to send keys in Delphi XE6

Below is the complete routine I'm using to send the key Ctrl + Shift + S to a PDF document. It should show the save dialog but fails to do so.
The procedure opens a pdf document residing in sFolder using GetFiles. There is only one pdf doc in sFolder.

The window oShellExecuteInfo.Wnd is a window in your Delphi process. You assign it as Application.Handle. You seem to be hoping that it will be the main window of the PDF viewer but that's not the case.
So you need to find the main window of the PDF viewer. That involves a call to EnumerateWindows to get all top level windows. Then, for each one, use GetWindowThreadProcessId to test whether or not the window is owned by the PDF viewer process.
Some other comments:
You neglect error checking when calling API functions.
You should use SendInput rather than keybd_event.
You leak the process handle returned by ShellExecuteEx.
It is possible that ShellExecuteEx does not return a process handle at all. That depends on how the file association is setup, and whether or not Acrobat was already running.
You may need to wait until the new process has finished starting up before you send input.
Your program seems to assume that the installed PDF viewer is Acrobat. What if it is not?

How to wait until the async CopyHere (Shell API command) completing the ZIP compression?

I need to Zip and Unzip files in Delphi without using a 3rd party component.
How to wait until the async CopyHere completing the ZIP compression?
The following code is not working perfectly.
Code to zipping files using ShellAPI
procedure TShellZip.ZipFolder(const SourceFolder: WideString);
var
SrcFldr, DestFldr: OleVariant;
ShellFldrItems: Olevariant;
NumT: Integer;
begin
if not FileExists(ZipFile) then
begin
CreateEmptyZip;
end;
NumT := NumProcessThreads;
ShellObj := CreateOleObject('Shell.Application');
SrcFldr := GetNameSpaceObj(SourceFolder);
if not IsValidDispatch(SrcFldr) then
begin
raise EInvalidOperation.CreateFmt('<%s> Local de origem inválido.', [SourceFolder]);
end;
DestFldr := GetNameSpaceObj_ZipFile;
ShellFldrItems := SrcFldr.Items;
if (Filter <> '') then
begin
ShellFldrItems.Filter(SHCONTF_INCLUDEHIDDEN or SHCONTF_NONFOLDERS or SHCONTF_FOLDERS, Filter);
end;
DestFldr.CopyHere(ShellFldrItems, SHCONTCH_NOPROGRESSBOX or SHCONTCH_RESPONDYESTOALL);
//wailt async processes
while NumProcessThreads <> NumT do
begin
Sleep(100);
end;
end;
Code to count processes
function NumProcessThreads: Integer;
var
HSnapShot: THandle;
Te32: TThreadEntry32;
Proch: DWORD;
ProcThreads: Integer;
begin
ProcThreads := 0;
Proch := GetCurrentProcessID;
HSnapShot := CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPTHREAD, 0);
Te32.dwSize := SizeOf(TTHREADENTRY32);
if Thread32First(HSnapShot, Te32) then
begin
if Te32.th32OwnerProcessID = Proch then
Inc(ProcThreads);
while Thread32Next(hSnapShot, Te32) do
begin
if Te32.th32OwnerProcessID = Proch then
Inc(ProcThreads);
end;
end;
CloseHandle (HSnapShot);
Result := ProcThreads;
end;
Code to create empty zip stream
procedure TShellZip.CreateEmptyZip;
const
EmptyZip: array[0..23] of Byte = (80, 75, 5, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var
Ms: TMemoryStream;
begin
//criar um arquivo zip vazio
Ms := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
Ms.WriteBuffer(EmptyZip, SizeOf(EmptyZip));
Ms.SaveToFile(ZipFile);
finally
Ms.Free;
end;
end;
You don't need to automate the shell to do this. As you have discovered that's not easy to do cleanly.
You can use the ZIP component that ships with Delphi, TZipFile. If you have an older version of Delphi, one that does not include this component, then you should use a third party component like Abbrevia.

How to add an icon to the ImageList bigger-sized without stretching?

I have ImageList sized 72x72, handle to the icon (HICON), obtained by SHGetFileInfo (for example a large icon sized 32x32). How to add it to this ImageList keeping transparency, but without stretching? Now I draw the icon in the middle of a temporary bitmap desired size, then add it to the ImageList.
SHGetFileInfo(PChar(Path + sr.Name), sr.FindData.dwFileAttributes, fi, SizeOf(fi), SHGFI_ICON or SHGFI_LARGEICON or SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES);
Bmp:=TBitmap.Create;
Bmp.PixelFormat:=pf32bit;
Bmp.SetSize(72, 72);
DrawIcon(Bmp.Canvas.Handle, 20, 20, fi.hIcon);
iIcon:=ImageList_AddMasked(ilThumbs.Handle, Bmp.Handle, 0);
Bmp.Free;
But I think a way faster exists (without drawing on temporary bitmap). Also image in ImageList loses transparency and when I set index of this Image in ImageList for ListView item.ImageIndex it looks not pretty (when this item is selected, white background around is present). Is any way to solve this problem?
Thanks.
This is the code that I use to perform this task.
Note that I am assuming that the original icon uses 32 bit colour, with alpha channel. That's reasonable in the settings that I use this code, but I can't be sure whether or not it's reasonable for you.
