Line, Circle, Scale and PSet Methods

[Sam Finch]

I'm Making a Controll similar to the Picturebox Control but with more stuff, I'm trying to add the line circle, scale etc methods to it.

The Line Method Works if you use this code

Public Sub Line(ByVal Flags As Integer, ByVal X1 As Single, ByVal Y1 As Single, ByVal X2 As Single, ByVal Y2 As Single, ByVal Color As Long)
Picture1.Line (X1, Y1)-(X2, Y2), Color
End Sub

Meaning you can call it like this

usrExtendedPctBox.Line(0,0)-(100,100),vbWhite

or using any other method that works with the standard line method

Does anyone know how I can do this for the PSet, Scale and Circle Methods?

Thanks

I'm guessing that you can make a Circle with the same method as the Line but omit the X2 and Y2. Replace it with the Radius instead.

By the way, i think There's optional BF flags following the color in line method, how do you get those into function? Also there's the optional keyword STEP before each (

Kedaman:
The BF tag is for BOX-FILLED and when you specify different values for both the X1, X" and Y1, Y2 values (think of it as type RECT) then you get a FILLED box as opposed to just a border.

And the step is for stepping - basic method for drawing
dotted/dashed lines, and even columns/rows


Sam:
The PSET value SETS-PIXEL, and therefore if you wish to draw lines must use a loop to loop to through the inbetween values...

'draw horzontal line 100 pixels long
for x=1 to 100
pset(x,10)
next

ps I don't know if PRESET is still about or whether its supported by VB but one sets a pixel foreground color and the other a pixel background color.

Question:
Hey guy's how are your skills with regards to creating dll's? I use vb5 with sp3 and want to know how to create dll or active dll and can i use an active-x dll the same way as a winapi dll?

[kedaman]

Zaf Khan! What? I know that! Heheh, Were talking about making methods work like that, not how to use them

You create a dll by starting an activeX dll project, work on it, and then compile it. To use it in other project, add it in project references.
