Hi all,
Can i know how to force to refresh the graphic?
Any tips are welcome.
Note: I am using override OnPaint and render() method to display the graphic.

A bit of background information would be usefull (even needed). Which technologies are you using ? A wild guess because I recognize OnPaint is that you are using the MFC's in C++ (but as I'm not familiar with other technologies, it can be completely wrong).
If that's the case, calling Invalidate will force a redraw of your window.

Hi Cedric,
Thanks for reply, I am using buffer graphic (GDI technologies in c#)to draw into off screen. then use Render() method to display on screen.Note that, these drawing method is develop in my Custom User Control. here are some samples code :
FrmMain : TimewayChartControl
private void DrawChart()<br />
{<br />
TimewayChartControl.CreatBufferGraphics(); <-----create buffergraphic<br />
TimewayChartControl.RenderLinePath(); <-----draw line<br />
}
Custom Control:
BufferedGraphicsContext CurrentContext = BufferedGraphicsManager.Current;<br />
BufferedGraphics bg;
public void CreatBufferGraphics()<br />
{<br />
bg = CurrentContext.Allocate(this.CreateGraphics(), this.ClientRectangle);<br />
bg.Graphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;<br />
bg.Graphics.Clear(this.BackColor);<br />
}
private void DrawLinePath(Graphics g)<br />
{<br />
g.DrawPath(LinePathPen, gpLine);<br />
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)<br />
{<br />
bg.Render(pe.Graphics);<br />
}
Everytime when after i draw the first graphic, the second graphic which i draw will not render unless some frame or other form move over the painting area, then only the second graphic will appear and erase the first graphic.... I am not sure what was happen

Hi Cedric,
i have try to use invalidate in my application, but seem it dosen't work for me
I try to add Invalidate after calling TimewayChartControl.RenderLinePath(); , it dosen't work (please point it out if i was wrong,thanks).

I don't know C# but what you have to do (it's still windows so it's the same for C++ and C#) is that you need to put all the rendering stuff in the OnPaint method and nowhere else. Thus if you want to draw a line, you need to store the information somewhere and draw the line in the OnPaint handler.

Read this over at MSDN:
Update[^]
Invoking Invalidate on a control client area or a window, for that matter, merely queues the message so that at the next system WM_PAINT message for that control, it is repainted as you specify. It doesn't force an immediate repaint. Calling Update causes the system to send the control a WM_PAINT message which repaints any invalidated regions, or does nothing if there are no invalidated regions. Windows considers painting an expensive operation, and so only does this when necessary.
Typically, you call Invalidate and then Update.

This is probably a simple problem as the most I've ever done with GDI was a simple ray tracer that drew a circle on a flat plain using drawline ALOT. Needless to say... I'm a GDI nub.
So anyway, I tried to use Bitmap.Save to take a screenshot of each of the windows on a WinForm application. This works great on the first run, but if I run the function a second time an exception is thrown where I called the save.
I decided to use a filestream so I'd have control over the stream instead of passing a pathname. Even though I close the stream when I'm done with it, it throws a file in use exception when I try to create the stream on the second go around.
Here's my current code:
<br />
Bitmap mybmp = new Bitmap(formwidth, formheight,PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)<br />
<br />
System.IO.FileStream fs = System.IO.File.Open(imagePath, System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, System.IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite);<br />
<br />
mybmp.Save(fs, ImageFormat.Jpeg);<br />
fs.Close();<br />
Am I missing something here?

This doesn't help much, but your code works fine for me - calling it multiple times.

If you were to open the same file using Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(imagePath) somewhere, THEN it would be locked as long as that bitmap was open. Using a filestream to open a bitmap and closing the stream, solves the problem.

Take a GIF.
My GIF for example:
http://reelix.googlepages.com/ReeFlame.gif[^]
Look at in in the browser... Looks good, hey? (Well, my opinion anyways)
Save it to Windows (I can only test with XP - Not sure if it does it in Vista)
Open it in Windows Default Image Viewer.
Laaaaaaggg....
Any reason for this?
Was looking into C# GDI+ GIF Animation, and this... Issue arose...
Any ideas, anyone?

Looks the same to me either way. Also animating at the same speed.

Found it does the same in IE (Seems to be the same Bug) - Sure you're not an IE Fan? :p
Try the same GIF in FireFox.
Havn't tried Opera Yet...
- Reelix
P.S: If anyone is interested... I suceeded with my C# GDI+ GIF Animation:

Like many people these days I use multiple browsers. I have checked the GIF file in IE Opera and Safari and there is no lag I can detect visually.

I'll take your word for it instead. I am not a big fan of past releases of Firefox. I will take a look at the next generation of Firefox when it is released. I have read an article about how they optimized image cache and greatly improved memory management. But for now I am happy with IE and Opera.
Best Wishes.

Hi all,
I have created a double buffering drawing method,the code as below:
BufferedGraphicsContext CurrentContext = BufferedGraphicsManager.Current;
BufferedGraphics bg = CurrentContext.Allocate(this.CreateGraphics(), this.ClientRectangle);
bg.Graphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
bg.Graphics.Clear(this.BackColor);
this.draw(bg.Graphics)
bg.Render();
bg.Dispose();
My question is how can i draw the graphic to bitmat or any type of picture?
Note: This drawing method is build in custom user control
thanks in advance

Hello there,
I have already used DirectX.Capture to preview what my web cam sees on a panel in my form.
Now I need to somehow transmit this to a client through the network. All I now about
network programming, is that I can only send byte arrays to the client. Any ideas on how
I will get that?

Then you need to send arrays of bytes which represent the pixels in the frames of video.
If your available bandwidth isn't able to handle the number of bytes-per-second required
to transmit the given video dimensions and frame rate, then you'll need to compress the video
somehow. The Video Compression Manager[^] or the Windows Media Format SDK[^] are two
possible solutions for compressing/decompressing video. There's also lots of 3rd party video
codecs.

How to check in C# if directx is installed and which version of it?
|
|
|
|
|
By checking in the registry, there are entries for DirectX version, etc.
