Hi
I have set up a function called WriteFame() in my own class (VideoCont.cpp) to read a frame of a video and write it to a .bmp file (bt.bmp). But now that it is written to the file bt.bmp how can I automatically display this image in an SDI window? (ie. as soon as the WriteFrame() function is complete it calls another function say DisplayFrame() which automatically diplays this frame without any use interaction inbetween).

This is the code that I have for the writing of a frame to the bt.bmp file (i've check that it works by opening the file bt.bmp in paintbrush)

void VideoCont::WriteFrame()
{
for(int n=0, dn = FrameSize; n < FrameSize; n++)
FrameArray[--dn] = FrameArray1[n];

VidHeader1.bfType1 = 'B';
VidHeader1.bfType2 = 'M';
VidHeader1.bfSize = FrameSize;
VidHeader1.bfReserved1 = 0;
VidHeader1.bfReserved2 = 0;
VidHeader1.bfOffBits = 1078;
VidHeader2.biSize = 40;
VidHeader2.biWidth = 320;
VidHeader2.biHeight = 240;
VidHeader2.biPlanes = 1;
VidHeader2.biBitCount = 8;
VidHeader2.biCompression = 0;
VidHeader2.biSizeImage = 0;
VidHeader2.biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
VidHeader2.biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
VidHeader2.biClrUsed = 0;
VidHeader2.biClrImportant = 0;

if( (VideoFile = fopen("bt.bmp"/*FrameFile*/, "wb+")) != NULL )
{
fwrite(&VidHeader1.bfType1, 1,1,VideoFile);
fwrite(&VidHeader1.bfType2, 1,1,VideoFile);
fwrite(&VidHeader1.bfSize, 4,1,VideoFile);
fwrite(&VidHeader1.bfReserved1, 2,1,VideoFile);
fwrite(&VidHeader1.bfReserved2, 2,1,VideoFile);
fwrite(&VidHeader1.bfOffBits, 4,1,VideoFile);
fwrite(&VidHeader2, sizeof(VidHeader2),1,VideoFile);
if (VidHeader2.biBitCount == 8)
{
//Vidpalette = new unsigned char[256*4];
for(index=0;index<256;index++)
{
fputc(Vidpalette[(int)(index*4+3)],VideoFile); //put values back to palette
fputc(Vidpalette[(int)(index*4+2)],VideoFile);
fputc(Vidpalette[(int)(index*4+1)],VideoFile);
fputc(Vidpalette[(int)(index*4+0)],VideoFile);
}
}
fwrite(FrameArray, FrameSize , 1, VideoFile);

fclose(VideoFile);
}
DrawFrame();
}

My code for displaying the above bitmap goes as follows:
void VideoCont::DrawFrame()
{
//****************************************************************\/
BmpCont Bmp;

FrameFile = "bt.bmp";
HBITMAP hBitmap = (HBITMAP) ::LoadImage(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),FrameFile,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE); //|LR_CREATEDIBSECTION
CBitmap bmp;
if(hBitmap)
{
bmp.Attach(hBitmap);
}
//get the bitmap header info
BITMAP bm;
bmp.GetBitmap(&bm);
int hight=bm.bmHeight;
int width=bm.bmWidth;
//bmp.SetBitmapDimension(40,40);

//create a temporary memory DC
CDC mdc;
mdc.CreateCompatibleDC(pDCV);
mdc.SelectObject(&bmp);

//Use CDC::BitBlt() or StretchBlt();
//pDCV->BitBlt(10,10,bm.bmWidth,bm.bmHeight,&mdc,0,0,SRCCOPY);
pDCV->StretchBlt(10, 10, (bm.bmWidth), (bm.bmHeight), &mdc, 0, 0, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, SRCCOPY);

//****************************************************************
}

In the VideoCOnt.h file :
public:
CDocument* pDocV;
CDC* pDCV;
CString FrameFile;

In the draw function of the SDI view.cpp:
#include "VideoCont.h"

void CVDsgi1View::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
VideoCont Vi;
CVDsgi1Doc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
// TODO: add draw code for native data here
//****************************************************************\/

Vi.pDCV = pDC;

Vi.pDocV = pDoc;

//****************************************************************

}

I have a problem with pDCV->StretchBlt bit, I don't know what it is, (but one of those "abort debug ignore" assertion failure, dialog boxes appears). Do I need to call the view.cpp draw function after the WriteFrame function and before the DrawFrame function?
If so how do I do this?
I can't do:
#include "VDsgi1View.h" //my SDI view.cpp name
CVDsgi1View view;
view.OnDraw(pDCV);//in DrawFrame Function
it won't let me as it is a protected member.

Help me please, what can I do?
