User defined shapes?

[hfheatherfox07]

here an example using GDI+

Do you have one with "IDC_SHP1" in a resource file that does not deal with regions?

I looked in the MASM32 examples and the only thing that IDC_SHP1 is used there , is for drawing "V" grooves ???

after looking at XXcontrols, i see he made a round button in resource

you lost me there? what are you talking about?

[dedndave]

well, at the beginning of this thread, i mentioned XXcontrols - i think it was the 2nd post
if you look at his "button" example, you will see what i am on about   :P

sorry hfheatherfox07,
I did not understand what you are trying to do. What is your problem with these resource-ID IDC_SHP1? - it is just some number.

my first post if you open my attachment and look at the rsrc.rc  you will see what   IDC_SHP1

do you use rsrc.rc files?

QWord look at my 10th post down in the first page there are 2 attachments , they are what I am trying to do... you will understand IDC_SHP  :bg

OK now I see that has nothing to do with IDC_SHP ... it is more to do with buttons ...

all "IDC_SHP" is, is a static control.  Nothing fancy.  If you want to have a special shape, use an owner drawn static control

LOL that is funny ...I know that

if you look at my first post  or my 10th on the first page you will see that I am trying to use "IDC_SHP" , to make my window to that region ... so If i have 2 IDC_SHP statics

that is what will define my window shape those 2  IDC_SHP statics....

if you want to create an window like in your example "What I am trying to accomplish but with SHP in rsrc.zip", you MUST deal with regions.

[Gunner]

That example you posted uses regions...  Why don't you want to use regions?

The whole point is not to...

I do not wish to add bitmaps

not true ... you do have to draw the rects but no regions
I want to have the clear window separating the 2 squares
when I get home I will grab that example that I have done that way and post it...
the cool thing is that you can open the rsrc.rs file change the IDC_SHP rectangle size and your window size changes
the rects are drown to the resource dimensions so you do not always have to plug in new  dimensions  :8)

Ok here they are ...
This was posted on a foreign language forum (I think it was in Chinese) to show off this persons MASM skills...

I am kicking my self in the for deleting the source by accident  :(
I do not remember were I originaly downloaded this  :(

as you can see the IDC_SHP directly effects the size of the windows
