Try to redraw only parts on your window that really change instead of redrawing the whole thing.

if the background is static, you really only need to draw the overlay at its new position and then draw the parts of the background that were uncovered when the overlay moved. there's no need to redraw the whole background.

1. the overlay's previous rect = R1.
2. the overlay's new rect = R2.
3. R3 = the bounding rect of R1 and R2.
4. alloc a bitmap of size R3
5. fill it with the appropriate chunk of background
6. draw the overlay into the temp bitmap
7. draw the temp bitmap to the screen

as long as the overlay is moving only a few pixels at a time, R3 should be just slightly bigger than the overlay size. if R1 and R2 don't instersect, you can split it into two operations: restore the background to one rect, then draw the overlay into the other - don't bother with the temp bitmap.

Would you get better performance by using your current methods but using (say) DirextX or OpenGL to do the blitting? They might have better performing drivers that make better use of hardware?

Thanks Stuart. I'd considered that but didn't want to add the overhead and complication of using these libraries. As of late yesterday I now have an implementation that works well enough on my slow old Vista Notebook and very well on my Desktop PC. Basically doing what Chris suggested.

Hi again,

Does anyone know a code so when the user presses the Escape key during the full screen mode in my Win32 project to exit the application just by pressing the button.

Thanks

Assing an accelerator key to VL_ESCAPE, and handle (eg) IDM_VIEW_CANCELFULLSCREEN.

Or hook up WM_KEYDOWN/VK_ESCAPE...

Basically, the same way as you'd handle someone pressing the 'A' key.

Enjoy,

Iain.

ps, I'm not touching the fullscreen bit, as I know you did all that yesterday. If you can switch into fullscreen, you can switch out.

Well now that you know what the code looks like to maximize the window you should be able to figure out how to get it back to normal size.

int returned as binary no. from CListCtrl::InsertItem

In my MFC program the int 10 (ten) is treated as binary 10 (one & zero) i.e. == 2.
So when I insert any item at 10th position then it is inserted at 2nd position.
Similarly for 100th item it is inserted at 4th position.
My program is a Dialog Based Application.
m_ctlDeviceList is control variable for ListCtrl and it is set in Report View.

void CIPMDlg::OnBnClickedBrefreshdevices()
{
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
	int field0 = 0, field1 = 0, field2 = 0, field3 = 0;
	int c=0, nIndex=0;
	CString ips = _T("");

	for (field0 = 192; field0 <= 192; field0++)
	{
		for (field1 = 168; field1 <= 168; field1++)
		{
			for (field2 = 0; field2 <= 255; field2++)
			{
				for (field3 = 0; field3 <= 255; field3++)
				{
					ips.Format(_T("192.168.%u.%u"), field2, field3);

					nIndex = m_ctlDeviceList.InsertItem(c, ips);
					m_ctlDeviceList.SetItemText(nIndex, 1, _T("Testing"));

					c++;
				}
			}
		}

	}
}

Why is this happening?

This is definitely not true.

I think the problem may be that your ListCtrl is automatically sorting the entries as you add them. So you add "192.168.0.0", "192.168.0.1" etc. Then when you insert "192.168.0.10" it will be inserted in position 2 between "192.168.0.1" and "192.168.0.2". It may be better to ensure that you format the numbers with 3 digits in every case, or turn off the auto sort feature of the ListCtrl.

This may seem a bit radical, but you could try posting your requests for help on a forum... That way more people will see them.

Unless you're offering him money? That'd be different!
