You can write into the *.rc file so that your radio control are consecutive. to open it, just right click on it and select open with... you choose Source Code (text) Editor Everything's beautiful if you look at it long enough...

Hi while we are at it, i was wondering if we can do bolding, using similar method, as well?

But if the display device doesn't support blit operations (RASTERCAPS was RC_NONE) then he won't be able to draw to the offscreen image and blit as the last step. He will have to draw to both DCs instead, using the offscreen image merely for examination.

:-D i c i c yes i did enable it, under project->settings->c++ language...

You should right-click your dialog class in the class wizard, and then, select "Add Windows Message Handler", once this has been done, in the "Filter for messages available to class" combobox (right bottom of the dialog), select "WINDOW". Now, you have only to select "WM_ERASEBKGND" from the "New Windows messages/events" listbox (left top of the dialog), after that you have to press the Add and Edit button. Hope this helps...

i put "CPaintDC dc" but an error was returned stating no appropriate default constructor available, so i tried "CPaintDC dc(this)" n it complied successfully but it wiped out all i've drawn earlier. here's my code... void CGrapDlg::OnPaint() { CWnd* graphFrame = (CWnd*)GetDlgItem(IDC_GRAPH_FRAME); CDC* pDC = graphFrame->GetDC(); plotGraph.Plot(pDC); ReleaseDC(pDC); CPaintDC dc(this); } have a nice weekend n thks :-D

regarding issue 2...i need some calculations to know what to draw and i thought if these had to be performed each time WM_PAINT is sent, it'll take a long time. That's why i placed the functions under OnInitDialog(). But after thinking through what you pointed out to me, maybe i should do the calculations in OnInitDialog() and the final display in OnPaint()? thanks alot...i didnt know a thread is a global function before.;P

yes. you are better off creating a view for that. If that is the only view that you want, implement your graph plotting in the default view. But, if you want multiple views that look different from the same data, you can create multiple view classes. MSDN has some doumentation on using multiple view types with SDI applications. Or you can create another view class, host it inside another frame derived class... and create the framewindow, when you click a menu item or a toolbar button. This way, you can create multiple windows showing the same data in different display formats. But, read up on the multiple view handling on SDI before you go out and implement it this way.

i don't see anything wrong with that code. ?? -c A | B - it's not a choice. ThumbNailer

in that case, i think you were right to delete those sections. and, i think you should get rid of any //{{AFX_* comments in there (leave any delcarations, etc. - just get rid of the comment lines). those are all the places CW is scanning. also, you should delete the *.CLW file for your project, then re-run CW. hopefully, it won't try to re-parse your class. -c

I never heard of a case before, but the manufacturers can do it, specially if the problem is in the printing heads. But here a cheap printer costs about the same of 4 or 5 ink cartridges. So, it's not a big deal. I see dumb people

i think i get it...thks alot!

InvalidateRect() caused that. Mazy "And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break And the telephone's out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...not me...not me-Tom Waits

i see..so i just choose Generic Format and type in CObject myself? ya..i've read that CStatic is for static label which is why i'm surprised so many complicatd classes in the sample programs are derived from them! Thks alot!
