MFC Pinball Sample

The Pinball sample shows how to process a form which has several radio buttons. When called without parameters, the sample will display this form. If you select a pinball game, the form will send the extension a request that looks like this:

pinball.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetImage&Favorite=1

where the value of the Favorite parameter actually indicates the machine choice you have made. In response, the sample will use the CHttpServerContext::TransmitFile() function to send you a large graphics file showing the backglass artwork for the machine you've selected. The TransmitFile() API provides a very efficient and scaleable way to send large files from disk on the server to the client machine.

If you mark the "I don't see it here" button, the browser will send Favorite=0, and the server will respond with a redirection to the Internet Pinball Database, a popular public Internet site for pinball enthusiasts.

For this sample to properly work, you must have copied the *.GIF and *.JPG files from the sample into the same directory as the PINBALL.DLL file. See the sample abstract in online help for more details.

This sample was tested with Internet Explorer 4.01 and Netscape Navigator 3.0.
