Changing the OnButton1 handler as suggested here [^] didn't help?

to CPallini,

Thank you once more.
Sorry if my response was late because my internet connection is slow.

Yes, I already tried your suggestion and it can fulfill my aim.
but i still confuse about some things - I have written on previous post message.

Thank you for all...

I just want to understand about FillRect and another function that I should used if I want to make my program in other ways.

I'm a beginner in C language, so that I need to learn more about it.

Thank you for your kindly support and answers...

First, please use code block button when posting code snippets.

As about the code, you should never call OnPaint() explicitely in your code, change from

Eka Candra wrote:
void CGambarDlg::OnButton1()
{
red = green = blue = 255;
OnPaint();
}

to

void CGambarDlg::OnButton1()
{
  InvalidateRect(NULL);
  UpdateWindow();
}

See documentation (InvalidateRect [^], UpdateWindow [^] for details).

Thank you for your advice.
I've tried. But, I still confuse about explain of InvalidateRect function.
Why this function filled with NULL value? how about value of coordinates rectangle' edges?
What is it means, this function force the program to redrawn this form dialog? In other way, it is force to run codes in OnPaint function, is it correct?

Your answer really help me, thanks a lot.

Consider reading the fine manual or docs from Microsoft. They havent not only written about the parameters and their usage but often some smple code to illustrate that. Blush | :O

Press F1 for help or google it.
Greetings from Germany

As you may read in the documentation, InvalidateRect(NULL) call (followed by the UpdateWindow() one) make the system posting a WM_PAINT message (so that OnPaint handler is called). Using NULL as argument means 'the whole client area should be updated'. If you need to update only the rectagle area (that's good, it is better to keep the update region as small as it can be), pass a pointer to CRect having the proper dimensions.

Thanks a lot for CPallini and Superman...

Would you advice me about tutorial for GDI in Dialog Based project?
When I was searching this topic on internet, most of all are explained for Single Document Type.
It is same if I used Dialog Based and Single Document Based for a Form application?

Thank you...

Try here[^], and here[^], and here[^]. Lots of excellent information and tutorials to get you started.

Hello all
I would like to ask how to make a simple graphics for this txt based rpg I create . I was planning to make some via dark gdk . So my question would be if anyone would like to tell some basic sprite in dark gdk

I am useing VC++ 2008 Service Pack2 OS Microsoft Windows XP.I had create simple Dialog Based application and add a button and Edit box.On Button Click open a folder dialog Box.When i click on Button and select a file name and again click on button then i am getting exception.

Unhandled exception at 0x7ca51646 in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x01064db0.

I debug the code and found when cursor come here then exception

if (dlg.DoModal()==IDOK)

code of ButtonClick

const char szFilters[]="Excel Files|*.xls;*.xlsx|";
	CKSFileDialog dlg (TRUE, "xlsx", NULL,OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST| OFN_HIDEREADONLY, szFilters,this);
	dlg.SetMyParent(this);
	if (dlg.DoModal()==IDOK)
	{
		SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1, dlg.GetPathName());
			
	}

Plz help me

The end of the filter must have 2 pipe symbols.
const char szFilters[]="Excel Files|*.xls;*.xlsx||";

I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

thank for reply but still problem is same.

Please try without the SetMyParent call.

«_Superman_»

i try this but still problem is same.

Did you override DoModal in your class?
If so, what changes has been done in it.

Generally, what was the reason to derive your own class from CFileDialog?

derive your own class from CFileDialog

i was try this.But in that case also same exception show.

I'm trying to understand what your class CKSFileDialog does.
Why don't you directly use the CFileDialog class like this -

const char szFilters[]="Excel Files|*.xls;*.xlsx||";
CFileDialog dlg (TRUE, "xlsx", NULL,OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST| OFN_HIDEREADONLY, szFilters,this);
if (dlg.DoModal()==IDOK)
{
	SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1, dlg.GetPathName());
}
