This is a C++ question and this is a C# forum.

Thanks for your help. I also have installed Visual Studio C# Express. Maybe I should uninstall the program.

I dont know if there is any option -t but there is a command line option /t that specifies the type of target assembly i.e. whether its exe,dll or module. Wasif Ehsan.

Hi! 1. It doesn't matter. You just have to look at the filename your source file gets - when you save it with "*.txt" as filter, Notepad automatically adds ".txt" to the filename. So if you save your source file as "HelloWorld.cs", you'll end up with a file "HelloWorld.cs.txt". But for compiling the final filename really doesn't matter. 2. If you did, "csc.exe" will be found. If you didn't, it won't be found. Simple as that. 3. Then you'll have a VS.NET 2003 command prompt in your start menu. Use this to get the console window, then the correct paths will be set. 4. Putting source files on the desktop usually isn't such a good idea. Create yourself a dedicated source directory (C:\Sources, for example). This is far easier to reach, especially if you're using a command prompt. Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where god divided by 0...

Easiest way - an animated gif. Drawing it yourself, set a timer, and draw the frames in WM_PAINT. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Create a Point for every x/y coordinate you have, put them all into an array and then call: Graphics g = e.Graphics; //assuming you are in OnPaint Point[] points = CalculatePoints(); g.DrawLines(Pens.Black, points); You can also play around with the SmoothingMode property of the Graphics class. This will probably help you to make it look 'nicer'.

In my opinion, it is impossible to do that.

Have a look at the MSDN Nuggets videos on debugging. There's one called "Tools for Debugging" or something like that. There's a whole section just on VS 2005 debugging. But some of it is applicable to VS 2002/3 debugging too. You will get some ideas from watching a few of them. http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/events/nuggets.aspx[^] Kevin

Since reading your post two days ago, I've tried implementing this in as many ways as I could think. Unfortunately, I just can't get it to stick. I think that you will have to translate the coordinates for every message/event that you receive. Admittedly, you don't have too much work ahead of you. For messages/events that require painting, you only need to do the Graphics.TranslateTransform( Width / 2, Height / 2 ) call. For messages/events that have client coordinates associated with them, you'll need to subtract Width / 2 from the x and Height / 2 from the y. Finally, with messages/events that have screen coordintates, you need to call PointToClient(Point) and then subtract like the last call. I would write three static methods in a helper class with signatures like: Point CenteredPointFromClient( Point point, Form form ); int CenteredPointFromScreen( Point point, Form form ); void CenteredGraphics( Graphics g, Form form ); I wish a better solution existed. I don't think that it does because it would mess up the way that the .NET runtime draws child controls. Sorry.

Curtis, Thanks a lot for your help. I'm now at least able to draw a 'translated coordinate' Rect on my form inside the Paint Handler. Now I just need to figure out how to tie this in to OnMouseMove event.

this means the class that the code is written in. You don't need it, actually. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

hi there! :) i suggest that instead of using a variable and setting it to the OnMouseMove method, you can also use the MousePosition property of your control. this will return the position of your mouse cursor in screen coordinates.but if you want to convert it to your control coordinates, just use the PointToClient method and pass the MousePosition as a parameter. Hope that helps! :) Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year To All! :) microsoc :cool:
