... I think all of your points come into the mix on what is best "performance" -- ease of coding/debugging, computational speed, etc. True, every coder makes...
... It can go more than 10 Paper-planes. Try add more from menu or use keyboard shortcut (INS). To remove a plane, press DEL key. The color uses is 16bits. ...
Hi, I'm trying to make an owner-draw button. I assign it the BS_OWNERDRAW style. Windows documentation states that its parent should be sent WM_MEASUREITEM and...
Hi, just to tell you that this problem is solved: I had forgotten that WM_DRAWITEM is not passed to OnMessage but generates .OnPaint instead. I was misled...
Hi, I have trouble redimensioning an array of form objects. No run-time error but the REDIMed objects don't seem to be created (even if explicitly RECREATED). ...
... hmmm. I, too, did not see this message with ownerdraw -- either native (CANVAS) or assigned (your BUTTON code). Free association: Not sure why, but this...
... I have found that, at least, WM_MEASUREITEM is sent for owner-drawn menu items. (And I take advantage of this to make menu items visible/invisible at...
... Actually, it seems that they receive .OnPaint UNLESS they have the owner-drawn style For buttons, it is the opposite: they receive .OnPaint ONLY if they ...

... Aaarg, too bad. One still has the choice of using CreateWindowEx, but then you need to write the WndProc with raw API calls, without HB's niceties...
... Well, it would be a logical development, yes. It is not "automatically included" in the present REDIM because FORM objects do not exist isolated from the...
... I agree: handling arrays of forms is no simple task for a compiler. As regards the need, well it makes sense in the case I suggested, ie when it is the...
Wow! HotPlaneDemo by Don (FILES > TestBed) is super. On w2k clocked at 300MHz, there is slight forground (plane) flicker. It seems that the "flicker" is...

Re the implementation issues: Why not handling form objects just like plain UDTs when it comes to dimensioning? It could be the .PARENT statement that actually...
Thanks Pascal, Cor, Doc and Martin for testing it out. The bug of planes flickering is checked and it was mine. Not the HB, Win32 or OpenGL bugs. I was test on...
