how to display array of hex bytes into control and translate to ascii

Post by seeek »

Hello that's my first topic on wx forums .



I want to print this buffer into any control like the picture .
and translate that buffer to ASCII code .
please provide any full example to study ,, because I am still beginner in wx world ;D
all I want
(a Control with hex buffer and other with the translation same as Attachment image .. )

please if your going to help me provide the same buffer as here :-

Code: Select all

int* mybuffer[]={0x40,0x00,0x83,0x08,0x08,0x80,0xFE,0xFF,0x07,0x10,0xD0,0x0F,0x18,0x00,0x20,0xEE,0x0C,0x30,0x00,0x38,0x00,0x40,0x01,0x48,0x00,0x50,0xE8,0x07,0x5A,0x00,0x72,0x06,0x53,0x59,0x53,0x54,0x45,0x4D,0x72,0x06,0x6D,0x65,0x64,0x6F,0x5F,0x6F,0x72,0x00,0x72,0x0E,0x31,0x30,0x30,0x30,0x30,0x30,0x30,0x5F,0x31,0x30,0x31,0x30,0x40,0x40}
you can translate these row bytes to ascii from any webiste ..
40 00 83 08 08 80 FE FF 07 10 D0 0F 18 00 20 EE 0C 30 00 38 00 40 01 48 00 50 E8 07 5A 00 72 06 53 59 53 54 45 4D 72 06 6D 65 64 6F 5F 6F 72 00 72 0E 31 30 30 30 30 30 30 5F 31 30 31 30 40 40

Here's a small example to dump the contents of a file to a wxStyledTextCtrl in hex form. Maybe you can adapt it for what you want to do.

Code: Select all

// For compilers that support precompilation, includes "wx/wx.h".
#include "wx/wxprec.h"

#ifdef __BORLANDC__
    #pragma hdrstop
#endif

// for all others, include the necessary headers (this file is usually all you
// need because it includes almost all "standard" wxWidgets headers)
#ifndef WX_PRECOMP
    #include "wx/wx.h"
#endif

#include <wx/filepicker.h>
#include <wx/stc/stc.h>

class MyFrame: public wxFrame
{
    public:
        MyFrame();

    private:
        void OnFile(wxFileDirPickerEvent& event);
        void DumpBufferToStc(unsigned char*,size_t);

        wxStyledTextCtrl* m_stc;
};

MyFrame::MyFrame()
        :wxFrame(NULL, wxID_ANY, "AUI Tab", wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(600, 400))
{
    wxPanel* panel = new wxPanel(this, wxID_ANY);

    wxFilePickerCtrl* filePicker
        = new wxFilePickerCtrl(panel, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString,
                               "Select a file", "*.*");

    m_stc = new wxStyledTextCtrl( panel, wxID_ANY);

    m_stc->SetMarginWidth(0,0);
    m_stc->SetMarginWidth(1,0);
    m_stc->SetMarginWidth(2,0);

    m_stc->StyleSetFaceName(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT,"Courier New");
    m_stc->StyleSetSize(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT,10);

    m_stc->StyleSetFaceName(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT+1,"Courier New");
    m_stc->StyleSetSize(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT+1,10);
    m_stc->StyleSetForeground(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT+1,wxColor(0,0,128));
    m_stc->StyleSetBackground(wxSTC_STYLE_DEFAULT+1,wxColor(255,255,255));
    m_stc->SetScrollWidth(100);
    m_stc->SetScrollWidthTracking(true);

    wxBoxSizer* sizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
    sizer->Add(filePicker,wxSizerFlags(0).Expand().Border(wxALL));
    sizer->Add(m_stc,wxSizerFlags(1).Expand().Border(wxLEFT|wxRIGHT|wxBOTTOM));

    panel->SetSizer(sizer);
    panel->Layout();

thank you

I used DumpBufferToStc function .
into my wx dll works very well

but some times these exceptions appear .
I used the dll in run time application and the dll get called by the external application .
do you have any idea how to get the error code reason or handle these exceptions .
they get rises from some where in DumpBufferToStc Function
