Need help on drawing a line

[_AnsHUMAN_]

in which function do you try to do this?

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Windows is event driven (well, message driven...): drawing should happen inside the WM_PAINT message handler, that is CDialog::OnPaint method for an MFC application. :)

did you debug to check if variables contain the same values as they did before other window was moved over your dialog.

Does your code like this? void CTestDlg::OnPaint() { if (IsIconic()) { CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting SendMessage(WM_ICONERASEBKGND, reinterpret_cast(dc.GetSafeHdc()), 0); // Center icon in client rectangle int cxIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON); int cyIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON); CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); int x = (rect.Width() - cxIcon + 1) / 2; int y = (rect.Height() - cyIcon + 1) / 2; // Draw the icon dc.DrawIcon(x, y, m_hIcon); } else { CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting dc.SetROP2(R2_NOTXORPEN); dc.MoveTo(100,100); dc.LineTo(100,200); dc.MoveTo(200,205); dc.LineTo(200,305); CDialog::OnPaint(); } }

Hi Saadi, Thanks for your help on this.., I am able to draw the constant line if i have opened other window on dialog box, but here in my application the line will move from left to right in between two sliders along with the slider positions. while the line is moving, if i have opened any window on dialog box, the previous line is not getting erasing. I thought of it is losting the previous line pixels information.. Can you please tell me how i have to achive this..? thanks in advance..

Hi John Well Im not Saadi (poet)[^]. Your answer is easy if you want to clear previous lines you can draw on it again for example you have this code: dc.SetROP2(R2_NOTXORPEN); dc.MoveTo(100,100); dc.LineTo(100,200); dc.MoveTo(200,205); dc.LineTo(200,305); if you use of this code again you clear previous line. dc.SetROP2(R2_NOTXORPEN); dc.MoveTo(100,100); dc.LineTo(100,200); dc.MoveTo(200,205); dc.LineTo(200,305);
