Win32 API

[Sanjay Adlakhiya]

Dear Sir,

I have a query regarding some Win32 API functionality in Visual Basic. I hope that you will help me solve this.

I need to draw on the WANG Image Edit control supplied with Windows 95/NT using the Win32 API drawing functions like LineTo, Ellipse, Arc etc. Is it possible?

I mean, I tried doing it by using the follwing code, but could not. Please guide me.
How do I proceed?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim dc as Long, dummy as Long
dc = GetDC(ImgEdit1.hwnd)
dummy = Ellipse(dc, 10, 10, 300, 300)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks & Regards.
Sanjay.

P.S.- If you are unable to solve my problem, can you please guide me to someone/some other forum which can.

My requirement is extremely urgent. Please help me.

Hi,

Wang Image Edititing controls (ImgEdit & the rest) are different animals er.. OCXs
and stright forward WinAPI like
GetDC & Ellipse dont work on them, because they
may not be using a single DC. there could be a set of cashed DCs to do actual image editing.
Instead use their own image editing API fns like
ImgEdit.AnnotationType = 4 ' Filled Rectangle
ImgEdit.Draw ... etc

Take a look at thier Annotation fns/APIs

So much so, even VB's Picture box employs a cashed/memory DC to get max advantage.. and memory DC is same as actual DC only if AutoRedraw is false.
