How to draw a line

[Joe Speroni]

I'm now trying to draw a line on top of a dialog.
The following code does not work, and in any case I don't
see how it would RESIZE as the dialog chnaged sizes.

Could someone help point me in the right direction to
draw one simple straight line correctly?
----------------------------------------------------------

#COMPILE EXE
#REGISTER NONE
$INCLUDE "WIN32API.INC"
$INCLUDE "MA.INC"

FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
LOCAL hDlg AS LONG

DIALOG NEW 0,"Draw Line",,,320,240,_
  %WS_CAPTION OR %WS_SYSMENU OR %WS_THICKFRAME OR %WS_MAXIMIZEBOX OR _
  %WS_MINIMIZEBOX OR %DS_CONTEXTHELP,0 TO hDlg

SelectObject(hDlg,GetStockObject(%Black_Pen))
MoveToEx hDlg,5, 5,BYVAL %NULL
LineTo   hDlg,5,200

DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg
END FUNCTION

You can not "draw" a line inside of a dialog, unless you want to handle all painting in the WM_PAINT event.

Why not use a label with a %SS_ETCHEDVER or %SS_ETCHEDHORZ style?

Use CONTROL ADD LINE instead... it is the easiest way, IMHO.

PS, The MoveToEx() and LineTo() API functions require a Device Context, not a window Handle.

Time to buy an API book, Joe! Check out the FAQ forum for some suggestions.

Can I ask, why occurs permanent problems with refreshing text in PbEdit and CCEdit ?

Semen, can you accurately describe the problem you are experiencing?

PS, as this seems to have nothing to do with the above messages, can we start tangent discussions in a separate (new) thread? Thanks!
