SetPixel API???

I know I've asked this bfore but I never got a clear answer.
When you use the SetPixel method, how do you make it so that the pixels don't disappear when you draw on an hDC??

[V(ery) Basic]

Set the .AutoRedraw to true and then use .Refresh to show
the pixel

:D

About the only thing I know :( ...

Another bonus question (and its hard)

How do i make it with foreign applications withour having it remove the points?

Very Basic> But when the AutoRedraw is set to true, nothing appears at all. Is this suppose to happen? If I put the Refresh command after the setpixel, would the pixel not disappear then?

what exactly are you doing, getting it to work for a picture box is much easier than getting it to work for a form in another app.


Ked, I've told you, you need to subclass the other window, I think I might give up on doing this in pure VB, you'll have to learn C++ if you want to do this.

unless there's something in VB7 but that's still at least a year away.

I'm going to wait for VB7!!! But also i'm going to learn some C starting at autumn, when im going to Åbo academy, and also Sam, i won't need to work to get money hehe

Even when I draw on a picture box, this same problem occurs.

Wait, nevermind, I used the refresh command and it works so don't worry about me :)

[kedaman]

Sam, I thought you was working on this problem?

[Sam Finch]

yeah I was, I found out that none of the Ideas I had worked.

It's not really an easy thing to do.
