i have 2 questions if i may?..
1)i tried to use GetWindowText with the variables from &to but nothing happened they still 0 as i initialize them..i made a test to know if tey change or not by using WGPrintf(hDC,600,670,"%f",f); but it printed 0.00000 so it means it didn't change
2)i need the draw curve button to draw the curve win i click it so i think i must use the draw fn at case wm_command...but when i put it like that

case 1:
					{   
				       if(controlEvent==BN_CLICKED)
					   drawing(hWnd,from,to);
					   InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,FALSE);
					   break;
					}

nothing appears so what shal i do???
thank you in advance...

Solution 1

I haven't done any C++ in WinForms in many years so I may be a little off base but I do a lot of custom drawing with C#.
Why are you calling the drawing() function then doing a InvalidateRect?
You are drawing then calling InvalidateRect which forces the WM_PAINT message to be sent.
All drawing needs to be centralized and done when the WM_PAINT message is sent.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Those points are all correct. I can confirm it as I clearly remember drawing in raw Windows API. My 5.

Point about InvalidateRect() is correct...

Albert Holguin · Answer 2 · 2011-07-03T07:27:00

Solution 2

1. You try calling GetWindowText(hSecondEdit,text1,128); but you've set the text to blank before on WM_CREATE with SetWindowText(hSecondEdit,"");, that's the reason you get blanks back.

2. You seem to be attempting to draw to the main window, but then you overwrite that after you call InvalidateRect(). You should probably define where you're going to be drawing to better (as in a separate window or a control on the main window).

I've found that drawing directly to the/a window is much more efficient and cuts down on flickering. Some controls are more efficient then others, i.e. the Panel control is very inefficient never use it as a canvas.

Albert Holguin 3-Jul-11 15:44pm

There's other ways to get around the flickering... draw off screen then bit blit...

Mike Hankey 3-Jul-11 16:15pm

True enough, guess was thinking more along the lines of C#. Like I mentioned above it's been a long time since I've done C++ in WinForms.

Albert Holguin 3-Jul-11 18:01pm

WinForms is also a .Net thing, not really C++/WinAPI/MFC... lol
