Xailer & OZ Software

Hi Jose
I have created a little custom component called TThermometer.
Well not quite created, I have the basic bit working, ie I can drop it on a
form.
I'm want to create something similar to one of these
http://www.dncc.co.za/images/thermomitor.jpg
I have added basic properties etc, and it all works in the editor nicely.
The project is here
www.capsol.com.au/thermometer.zip
Problem is of course, I have no idea how to draw a circle and a box and fill
it.
Is this a hard thing to do, am I biting off more than I can chew maybe?
I was hoping you could maybe show me how to draw it roughly and then I can
tweak it. Obvoisly the group would then see all this as well and learn a
bit.
It's for a community project I'm working on.
Cheers
Nick

Nick,
Take a look at TPlanning sample under samplescontrols. BTW you will surely
need some 'C' knowledge to do the job.

Hi Ignacio
I copied the TPlanning to create my project.
Basically I got stuck at Paint()
I will have to pull down my mate Charles Petzel off the shelf and see if I
can work out how to draw a circle....
Thanks

Nick,
you can add this to your project:
#include <windows.h>
#include <xailer. h>
HB_FUNC( ELLIPSE ) // hDC, nLeft, nTop, nRight, nBottom
{
hb_retl( Ellipse( (HDC) hb_parnl( 1 ), hb_parnl( 2 ),
hb_parnl( 3 ), hb_parnl( 4 ), hb_parnl( 5 ) );
}
And use it this way:
oPen := ...
oBrush := CreateSolidBrush( ... )
SelectObject( hdc, oBrush:Handle )
Ellipse( hdc, ... )
oBrush:Destroy()
Regards,
José Lalí­n
