If I remeber rightly it's written into the default registry by Platform Builder when the build of CE is out together. That's where I'd start looking. I'm sorry I can't dig around and get you any more info but I've got DEADlines and all that. 
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

What do you call the name of Win CE device?
See ::GetSystemInfo() and ::SystemParametersInfo() in your doc.
cheers,

Hi....
I working on a dialog based application. This should have all SDI features like menu, print, save etc....
please help me....
Thanks in advance

Add them by yourself. Choose what you need and go to the articles, there are lots of them than will help you if you read them.
Or just make a SDI document and take CFormView as the main View, then use CDialogs for the other things.

What is the simplest method I can use to get lines drawn on dialog boxes?
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
pDC->MoveTo (x1, y1);
pDC->LineTo (x2, y2);
Simple enough?

thanks, it compiles but...
I keep getting into "Debug Assertion Failed!" can you advise me what is wrong with my code?
CDC* pDC;
pDC = new CDC();
pDC->MoveTo (0, 0);
pDC->LineTo (100, 100);

You didnt associate the DC to a window. If you are in a dialog... one way to do it is:
void CMyDialog::OnPaint()
{ CPaintDC dc(this);
pDC->MoveTo (0, 0);
pDC->LineTo (100, 100);
return;
}
OnPaint is a message of the dialog, to get it go to assistant and look for it.

you have to replace -> with . and pDC with dc to make it all work!

  you are totally right. I was about to go home at the end of the day and I didn't realize.

You cannot do that:
You have to request a device context to GDI.
That is usually done while handling the WM_PAINT message (you need to override the OnPaint method of your dialog), for instance:
void CMyDlg::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc( this );
dc.MoveTo(0, 0);
dc.LineTo (100, 100);
}

Create a really narrow static box?
That's what I do to put a line in between sections on my dialog boxes.
Using Draw Line needs a DC - which needs to be associated with a window. So you need to create one, and when do you do it? Lot's of little things to know - and by the level of your question, your knowledge isn't at that point yet.
(It will be!)

But if he need to color the static, then?
|
|
|
|

void CMyDlg::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc( this );
dc.FillSolidRect( 10, 10, 100, 1, RGB( 255, 0, 0 )); // Draw a red colored line
}
|
|
|
|
|
this is nuts, it looks like it should work...but its not working.
Is there a way to put just a pixel on the dialog box?
|
|
|
|
|
it should work... no. It DOES work. If you dont get anything is because you are doing something wrong. And I guess you just copied the text and declare it as a normal function. But the OnPaint is not a normal function, is a dialog message. So you have to declare it in a speciall way, or go to the assistant "CTRL + W" and look for the OnPaint in the ListBox.
BTW it won't be bad if you read a basic manual as well, just to get the basic concepts.

well its not like I just jumped onto this forum to ask for help, I did spend time on studying he example code and got the drawline working for GDI by modifying the sample codes. I spent more than the better half of 2 days and I don't appreciate you asking me to RTFM. If you don't want to give any positive input why bother giving any input?

And you are the only one that knows this. How are we to know what you've already tried?
mercenary01 wrote: If you don't want to give any positive input why bother giving any input?
Because the majority of the questions that get asked on this forum are from those who don't want to bother doing any of the work themselves. If that presumption does not apply to you, a simple "Thanks for the suggestion, but I already did that." is all that's necessary.

Hey please don't get me wrong I am not mad at everyone in this forum, I have had good answers that did help me in my projects from this forum and I really do appreciate all of it. Honestly I am an embedded programmer and would help anyone just like most people that I have encountered in this forum have helped me.
Just like to state, that I don't go around telling people how hard I worked or tired my hand on something. So I did not see the need to tell everyone this in the beginning so I am not sure maybe it should be protocol?
But seriously I don't want anyone to get me wrong I appreciate the answers to question in past and even now.

I already gave you a "positive input" in the first message. And, in the second one, I didn't want to say you that you are "XXX" or "YYY", I just told you that the code we have given you DO work. 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 void OnPaint();
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
As I have already said in other messages, here there are programmers, wether telepats nor mediums. If you don't say something concrete, we have to guess. If we have to guess, maybe we are guessing a false scenario. If we are guessing a false scenario... and you get angry with any answer... It is your problem, not ours.
mercenary01 wrote: Just like to state, that I don't go around telling people how hard I worked or tired my hand on something.
And you don't need to make it, but at least say what have you tried out, and what you not. So e can adapt our answers to your case. Or just put a piece of code where you are trying something, and if there is an error you will get a correction.
But just asking...
mercenary01 wrote: What is the simplest method I can use to get lines drawn on dialog boxes?
Is not a descriptive message to get the best of the answers.
mercenary01 wrote: But seriously I don't want anyone to get me wrong
Neither do I, because of that I want to tell you that I am not angry, I am not mad... I am just trying to explain you the why of my "rude" answer, and some points of view of the people "on the other side". And I am making it to try avoiding future misunderstoods in possible new questions from you or other people that read this message.
And BTW...
mercenary01 wrote: ya I got it to work got a piece of code from another forum and modified it to fit the project. Thanks for asking.
If our answers were not usefull for you, if yoou don't mind, you can make a little description of what was the problem and the solution you found for other users that maybe will have the same problem in the future. (and... why not? To show us where we were wrong).
Have a nice day

While it is possible, you typically don't draw directly on dialog boxes. What exactly are you trying to do?
