Thread: ASCII table going crazy?

Well, I'm trying to output the ascii table, and most of it is fine....it'll print up to 127 Fine, but then it goes awire after that....anyone know why?

Code:

case 256:	{
				RECT a;
				int x = (ww - 220) / 2;
				int y = 20;
				a.left = x;
				a.top = y;
				a.right = x + 50;
				a.bottom = y + 15;

				pDC->DrawText("Index",&a,DT_SINGLELINE|DT_CENTER);

				a.left = x+65;
				a.right=x+135;
				pDC->DrawText("Character",&a,DT_SINGLELINE|DT_CENTER);

				a.left = x+150;
				a.right = x+220;
				pDC->DrawText("Frequency",&a,DT_SINGLELINE|DT_CENTER);

				y+=20;

				for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
				{
					sprintf(b, "%d", i);
					pDC -> TextOut (x + 25, y, b);
					sprintf(b, "%c", i);
					pDC -> TextOut (x + 100, y, b);

					sprintf(b, "%d", m_FreqAscii[i]);
					pDC -> TextOut (x + 180, y, b);
					y+=20;
				}
				break;
			}

nope its an unsigned integer....b is just a temporary string

That will just print what ever glyph is in the DC's current Font for that ascii code/index.
You can use the "character map" utility that comes installed on most windows machines to see what glyph will be used for that font.

Here's more info.

right above the switch statement

Code:

char b[400];

i didn't try your idea, but i did, if i was equal to 127, to not output that, and then dkeep going, but it still did the same thing....trying your idea now.

I have that table in front of me as well, here, let me show you an executable of the code ....(ill upload a text file incase you dont have any handy)...gimme a second

F the table, read the text:

The ASCII character code charts contain the decimal and hexadecimal values of the extended ASCII (American Standards Committee for Information Interchange) character set. The extended character set includes the ASCII character set and 128 other characters for graphics and line drawing, often called the "IBM character set."

The characters that appear in Windows above 127 depend on the selected typeface.

That will just print what ever glyph is in the DC's current Font for that ascii code/index [especially for characters above 127].

All I was pointing out.

ok well here is the executable, and here is a test text file

ok, here is the source code...its in MFC, so i didnt think many people would have VC++...

i'm really not sure what your asking?

however, did u notice after 127 how things start to get crazy?

Put this in your OnDraw()...

Code:

    LOGFONT lf = {0};
    strcpy(lf.lfFaceName,"Times New Roman");
    CFont font;
    font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
    pDC->SelectObject(font);

Times New Roman will has more glyphs that will show up in the chart
