This is the correct way to do it, and if it is not working for you, there should be an issue on your tests. And, as David Crow said, the second part of the answer was just a guess of what many people makes. Just copy paste. And even that... I was giving you a possible solution to correct your code IF you had made copy-paste. But I didn't gave you directly the text to a new copy paste (it would be...): //{{AFX\_MSG(CYourDialog) afx\_msg void OnPaint(); //}}AFX\_MSG DECLARE\_MESSAGE\_MAP() As I have already said in other messages, here there are programmers, wether telepats nor mediums.

Maybe you could edit your original reply where you suggest to disable the check? People who read it might not follow the link to the previous discussions and actually think they have found a solution. And as it often appears to work after a quick test they would be in the dark why their GUI hangs.

I have never worked with DirectX but just to be sure for others: When you say you installed DirectX, what is it that you installed exactly? The runtime or the SDK? If you didn't install the SDK, there is no chance that any DirectX project will work (I think!) :) -- If this is a post that has been helpful to you, please vote for it. Thank you!

You're right - it's not supported in .NET 1.0. However, if you search CodeProject you'll find that people have solved this problem. Check out this page: http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.asp?cats=3&searchkw=serial+port&Submit1=Search&author=&sd=15+Nov+1999&ed=2+Aug+2007[^] Many of the entries look like they could be useful. Check #5 out for starters.

You dont. VS 2002 - .Net 1.0 VS 2003 - .Net 1.1 VS 2005 - .Net 2.0 - 3.0 VS 2008 - .Net 2.0 - 3.0 - 3.5

You can use MSBEE to target 1.1 on Visual Studio 2005: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=msbee&meta=[^] BUT this will not change the intellisense or any of the other handy things in the IDE from 2.0 1.1 so you'll have to know from memory what you can and cannot use. You should use 2.0 anyway ... it has some extreamly useful new stuff in it.

well the WinCE 4.2 is stable only with .net 1.0 and with 2.0 there seems to be some issues, thanks I will try your method and see how it works

Glad I could help! All the best, Martin

Hi, there are several Keyboard events: - KeyDown and KeyUp events provide e.KeyCode (type Keys) and e.KeyValue (the int value of KeyCode); it also fires when pressing/releasing modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, ...) - for printable keys (the ones that normally add text in a text editor) you better use KeyPress event which provides e.KeyChar (char), so you dont need to refer to the Keys enumeration nor the explicit conversion to integers. :) Luc Pattyn try { [Search CP Articles] [Search CP Forums] [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] } catch { [Google] }

You asked a mouthfull. And the SDK is more C++ oriented far as when i last checked it out. In a C# App you can Add Reference..."Microsoft.DirectX" and "Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX" (for the version you want to work with) of course DirectSound etc aswell if you need it. However if you are wanting to make 3D games using DX then this might be a better starting point: Microsoft XNA Studio http://msdn.microsoft.com/xna/[^] Comes with a space shooter game and all source code in C# all working. Could be eaiser for you if you are new to DX Other options are less 'clean' for use with C#, but there is alow of code available on the net just google it. Either way good luck Always more to learn, and i wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah, it's always nicer to find stuff is supported for you, but in this case, I don't see any way it could take a bitmap and give lat/lng, and it should be pretty easy to work out, just find out the co-ords for the corners of your bitmap and do the math to track the rate of change to the mouse.
