It seems you don't really understand what a DC is. You can't draw lines in a DC, you can draw lines on a bitmap using a DC.

The DC is (among other things) more of a descriptor and abstraction layer of the target device and area.

If you however are sure no one else is selecting a new bitmap into the DC, you could possibly create two DIB sections, select one into the DC, select the other into a compatible DC, and blit the original bitmap into the second one. When you then want to check if anything has changed you can just memcmp the two memory areas.

It would probably be quite slow (I'd expect something like >5 milliseconds for just 640x480x24, even on a moderately fast machine), but short of alternatives it would at least work (maybe you'll have to use 32-bpp to not be bitten by DWORD-alignment and unspecified values at end of every line).

If you are using Memory Device contexts (where you select your own bitmap into the DC) then you can use this function to find the bounding box to the last changes since you ask for the changes:

::GetBoundsRect

However, if you are trying to detect changes on a window, then you will have to resort to other methods.

Hm... I answered him with "Look up time(...) and gmtime(...) in MSDN Library....". That is an answer for what he were asking for! And the first one, that thing with HWND and ID I didn't understood so I asked what he meant with that. What did You answered him? Nothing! You said he had to know some damn part of the answer!!

Right, then I told him to look up some functions that might be what he were looking for.
Better he look up things and read about it then I give him already written code!

memory dc and scrolling problems:repost

hi,

:-DI did not get convincing answer the last time.sorry if considered spam. Big Grin | :-D

I am drawing these engineering related drawings that need a lot of pre calculation for neat display before actually being rendered to the user.Every time.Zooming included.I (naturally) used CreateCompatibleDC() function,drew onto that, calculated stuff and continued from there.

The problem arises while scrolling.I set the scrolling sizes according to the bounds of the drawing plus spaces.The bound is calculated as said earlier.When i scroll, things get eaten away.However, moving the drawing slowly using the arrow keys works fine.

Why is this happening?Help.Drawing is the soul and life and ... of my sw

Last row not visible

S O S26-Dec-02 0:57

I'm doing a MFC MDI app, with CScrollView view.
I am getting a very strange problem, the last row of the view is not visible until I resize the window in any way. I can scroll to the bottom, but it won't be visible until the window is resized(Even smaller, I can scroll there and it'll be drawn then)

This is how I set the scroll size
SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT, CSize(1026, 1026),
CSize(64, 64),
CSize(1, 1));

Everything else draws fine though
This is how the last row is drawn

if (dc->RectVisible(CRect(CPoint(0, 1025), CSize(1026, 1))))
dc->FillSolidRect(0, 1025, 1026, 1, RGB(70, 70, 70));

Still happens if I do it without the RectVisible()

I can not get the above message to work in an ordinart CDialog messages map.
where the memberFxn looks like:
void edit1Return(NMHDR * pNotifyStruct, LRESULT * result )
{
MessageBox("Carrage return occured");
}

Must there be some kind of initializing in the program? Or how will I get the message to work?

The dialog is intercepting the pressing of the enter key (and calling OnOK) before it gets to the focused control. You can try disabling the translation of enter hits as follows:

BOOL CYourDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 
{
  if(pMsg->message==WM_KEYDOWN&&pMsg->wParam==VK_RETURN)return 0;
 
  return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

but we warned that playing with PreTranslateMessage can lead to all sorts of strange behaviors with your app.

Change Mouse Cursor

nelzanoide26-Dec-02 0:20

Does anybody know how to change the mouse cursor form ? I've been trying using lhCursor = AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(....) to change the cursor image, then SetCursor(lhCursor) make the change visible and finally OnSetCursor to stick with the changes whenever the mouve moves. The problem is that when the mouse leaves the window and comes backin again, it resets it's cursor to the old image, not the one I changed it to.

Thank you

Nelson Gonçalves

Load the cursor once in OnInitDialog and set it every time OnSetCursor is called just like this:

BOOL CYourDlg::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message) 
{
  SetCursor(lhCursor);
  return TRUE;
}

I've tried it and it works OK.

CArray woes

raner25-Dec-02 23:05

25-Dec-02 23:05

Hi
I'm a VC beginner.I'm attempting to make use of the CArray template but i'm at a lost now.(i used CArray as the size of my array is not fixed)I declared a CArray object in my document class and wants to create a function so that other classes might access the array.

Below is an abstract of my program.

in CDocument header file, where m_array1 and GetRawDataArray are declared as public...
----------------

struct SRawData
{
double x;
double y;
};

CArray<srawdata, srawdata=""> m_array1;
CArray GetRawDataArray();

--------------------------------
in the CDocument .cpp file...
------------------------------

CArray CRainAttDoc::GetRawDataArray()
{
return m_array1;
}

this gives me the error message:
(a)error C2955: 'CArray' : use of class template requires template argument list
(b)error C2553: no legal conversion of return value to return type 'class CArray *'

Does anyone know what is happening and what i can do?
Thanks.
