Erase previous drawings
-
Hi I have got the following code: Code: drawDATA(Shapes shapes, CDC& cd){ // select pen ... ect // draw shapes cd.TextOut(X, Y, "DRAW1"); } I am calling drawDATA from two methods drawA, drawB with: CClientDC dc(this) as parameter. drawA(shapesA, dc); --> if user invokes action A Invalidate() drawB(shapesB, dc); --> if user invokes action B Invalidate(); both methods draw the shapes, but I only want to show the latest shapes not both shapes of A and B. If user clicks button A then i should show him shapes A If he clicks Button B then I should show him shapes B. If he clicks A , I should show shapes A first, and he continues and clicks B, I should erase shapes A and show shapes B only SO iI need a way of erasing previous shapes thank

Invalidate() doesn't redraw your window, it merely tells your window that the whole thing needs to be redrawn the next time the WM_PAINT message is handled. if you want to erase the background, just fill it with the background color.

Try RedrawWindow[^] instead of Invalidate...

UpdateWindow just sends the WM_PAINT message to your app, it doesn't actually cause painting to happen. basically painting happens whenever your app has nothing else to do and your app gets around to processing the WM_PAINT message. that's not going to happen in the middle of a function (unless you're doing something like an old-school Message Pump between statements). but, basically, there is no "erase" functionality. there is only draw. if you need to erase drawing A, you have to draw what was there before you drew A.

I have tried Refresh() But it erases everything, even those created after Refresh is called drawShapesA Refresh() drawShapesB

Which means that anytime the Web browser control redraws itself, anything drawn on top of it goes away.
