reinterprit_cast

I met strange situations.

There were reinterprit_cast in the code.

The code was working when it was developed by Visual Studio 2008.

But I changed to Visual Studio 2010, the code make access violations at delete the pointer and its memory.

The class was derived from 2 classes.

I am not sure if it were related on this issue.

I inspected the address of the pointer.

The pointer address was shift 2 byte from first pointed address at deletion.

I changed from reinterprit_cast to Simple Cast.

After that, access violations were blowed out.

Strange...

DPI change test (MFC dialog base applicatoin)

These codes are the result of try and error.

It means not so good codes.

SaveAppLayout and UpdateLayoutForDPI function should not be callback function.

Add to OnInitdialog

// save current size
 SaveAppLayout(this->m_hWnd,(LPARAM)this);
 // Resize child windows
// ::EnumChildWindows(this->m_hWnd, SaveAppLayout, (LPARAM)this); // Not necessary

Add to Header

afx_msg void OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam);
 afx_msg void OnPaint();

 DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
 virtual LRESULT WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

Add to Dlg.cpp

BOOL CALLBACK SaveAppLayout(HWND hWnd,LPARAM lParam)
{
 CDPIChangeTestDlg* pParent = (CDPIChangeTestDlg*)lParam;
 int iDpi = GetDpiForWindow(hWnd);

 // Get current size（at 96 DPI base）
 CRect rect;
 ::GetWindowRect(hWnd, &rect);
 pParent->mResMap[hWnd] = rect;

 // recalc size
 double rate = iDpi / 96;
 rect.left *= rate;
 rect.top *= rate;
 rect.right  *= rate;
 rect.bottom *= rate;

 // resize
 SetWindowPos(hWnd, hWnd, rect.left, rect.top, rect.Width(), rect.Height(), SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOMOVE);

 return TRUE;
}

BOOL CALLBACK UpdateLayoutForDpi(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
 CDPIChangeTestDlg* pParent = (CDPIChangeTestDlg*)lParam;

 try {
  int iDpi = GetDpiForWindow(hWnd);
  // calc current DPI and rate from 96 DPI
  double rate = iDpi / 96;
  CRect rect = pParent->mResMap[hWnd];

  int dpiScaledX = rect.left / rate;
  int dpiScaledY = rect.top / rate;
  int dpiScaledWidth = rect.Width() / rate;
  int dpiScaledHeight = rect.Height() / rate;

  // resize
  SetWindowPos(hWnd, hWnd, dpiScaledX, dpiScaledY, dpiScaledWidth, dpiScaledHeight, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOMOVE);
 }
 catch (...) {
  return FALSE;
 }
 return TRUE;
}

void CDPIChangeTestDlg::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam)
{
 if ((nID & 0xFFF0) == IDM_ABOUTBOX)
 {
  CAboutDlg dlgAbout;
  dlgAbout.DoModal();
 }
 else
 {
  CDialogEx::OnSysCommand(nID, lParam);
 }
}

LRESULT CDPIChangeTestDlg::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
