How to draw Dashed Ellipse in Embedded VC++

[sunkingac]

Hi all,

In my application using eVC++ 4.0, I have to draw ellipses with different line styles such as dashed, dotted,
dashed-dotted..

I do it successfully in VC++ 6.0, using Bezier Functions... But some of the functions are not supported in eVC++ 4.0.

Is there any way to draw these ellipses?

Please help me...

Thanks in Advance,

Can't you use the Ellipse function instead of using Beziers??

Hi Marc,

In eVC++ 4.0 , the dashed, dotted, dashed-dotted linestyles
work only with pen width 1 or less.

In my appln, i have to draw the ellipses with penwidth more than 1.


How can it be done ?

Please help...


Thanks in advance,

In eVC++ 4.0 , the dashed, dotted, dashed-dotted linestyles
work only with pen width 1 or less.

Unfortunately, that's not only the case for eVC++ 4.0 for for all versions of Windows as can be read in the MSDN:

This style is valid only when the pen width is one or less in device units.

I don't know how to draw tick dotted lines with GDI, but maybe you can use AntiGrain to do it. Check the demo page.
