some drawing problems in X11 [message #6998]

Hi,

I have created a small ataxx (virus) game in U++ as part of my programming course at the university. The code is ugly, I'm a beginner, the comments are in Dutch, but it works, at least in Win32. In X11 I have to disable a few things like auto-resizing the window.

Some code snippets that causes problems:

w.DrawEllipse(startx, starty, virusgrootte/2, virusgrootte/2, Yellow());

(it seems like DrawEllipse does not like the divisions - Win32 does not complain though)

centrumpunt = GetWorkArea().CenterPoint();
centreerx = centrumpunt.x-(int)(.5*raambreedte);
centreery = centrumpunt.y-(int)(.5*raamhoogte);
SetRect(centreerx, centreery, raambreedte, raamhoogte);

(something goes wrong with GetWorkArea().CenterPoint(); or with SetRect, not sure which is causing the problem)

I'm working with upp_0.612.1-1_i386.deb

(in windows, i work with the 605 release, works splendid)

Just to let you know there errors ocurred. I've to show my work tomorrow so I will not care much myself about these problems - I just show the win32 version and my teacher will be happy.

Thanks for U++ !!

Sure. Unzip to MyApps and it's ready to compile.

But the code quality is below standards, and comments are in Dutch...

Ooops. By mistake, you placed the .lay file into other directory ("Open any file.."), so it did not get zipped.

Please send it:)

bordselectie.lay is in the zip file

there is no other .lay file, the topwindows is made without a layout file with void MyAppWindow::Paint(Draw& w)

Hi!

After some modifications I succeded to run your app.

The main problem is placing SetRect method in Paint routine.

A hint is to separe this method as a individual method.

@ luzr, andrei-catalin:

Thanks a lot. I would never have figured that out. I will try and recompile it in Ubuntu this weekend and let you know about it.

Have tried it. Compiles OK, and no crash during runtime any more. But resizing is still a problem. How to programatically Resize the app window at runtime? In win32, the SetRect method does a fine job, but in X11, it only works when the window is first initialized. Using a SetRect (oudside of the Paint method) in X11 results in a windows with zero width and height.

I have tried things like GuiFlush(), Restore() and Layout() after the SetRect but the problem persists.

Actually I don't need it anymore (got a nice mark for my little program) but I feel like resizing windows should work in X11 if it works in win32.

Ubuntu 6.10
U++ 612-dev1

Regards, Evert

You could try my version (tested only in win32). Perhaps it will work in X11, too.

Good luck,
Andrei

Your version didn't compile at first (you commented out a few files) but after fixing that, it did compile fine. I should have made a Makefile, probably, and fix the modulatity.

The problem in your version is solved - programatically rezising the window now works Razz

I'm still figuring out how you did it. Is it in this part of the code? Does one need a Backpaint() to resize a window at runtime?

GUI_APP_MAIN {
	MyAppWindow ataxx;
	ataxx.BackPaint();
	ataxx.Run();
}

Major changes are in main.cpp lines 156-170 and 500-514.

BackPaint is only for eliminate flickering.
