How to draw ....?

class CFrameDialog : public CDialog
{
}
typedef CTypedPtrList<CObList, CFrameDialog*> CFrameList;

class CFrameDoc : public CDocument
{
public:
CFrameList m_framelist;

void CFrameDoc::Add(CFrameDialog *m_frame)
{
m_framelist.AddHead(m_frame);
m_frame->m_pDocument = this;
}
}

class CFrameView:: public CScrollView
{
//there is a function add a framedialog to CScrollView
void CFrameView::OnInsertFrame()
{
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
CPropertySheet sheet( _T("Edit Frame") );
CTypeText dlg;
dlg.m_framename="";
sheet.AddPage(&dlg);

if (sheet.DoModal() != IDOK)
return;
else
{
CFrameDialog* m_frame = new CFrameDialog();
m_frame->Create(IDD_DIALOGFRAME,this);
m_frame->SetWindowPos(NULL,m_point.x,m_point.y,0,0,
SWP_DRAWFRAME | SWP_NOSIZE );
m_frame->SetWindowText(dlg.m_framename);
GetDocument()->Add(m_frame);
}
}
}

I do not know how to draw a line from CPoint(0,0) to the top_left of the FrameDialog (all of FrameDialog) in CScrollView?
And when the FrameDialog move, these lines will be redraw.
Thanks

You can override OnPaint() of CScrollView, and use MoveTo, LineTo of CPaintDC to draw line.
e.g
void CScrollView::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
dc.Moveto(...);
dc.LineTo(...);
}

I want when I move dialogs, lines will be redrawn from (0,0) to top_left of dialogs (in CSrcollView)

DanRollins

When you say (0,0) perhaps you meed the top left corner of the screen. If so, that suggests that you want to draw onto the desktop.

In most Windows programming, you will *very rarely* need to draw using commands such as LineTo(...).

In any case, when we draw, we draw only into our own window. While it is possible to get an HWND and/or a DC to the desktop for direct access, doing so is unusual. Anything you draw will be transient since there will be no program to redraw it when that part of the desktop needs to be refreshed. Bits and pieces of your lines will remain like mouse droppings on the screen. Don't do it.

pbtdanh:

in your CDialog add data member which is a pointer to your scrollView.

when u create your dialog send a the view's pointer to the dialog:
CMyScrolView::OnInitDialog()
{
CMyDialog dlg(this);
}
when u moce the dialog use the code below to draw the line:
CRect rect;
GetWindowRect(&rect);
CDC* pDC = m_pView->GetDC();
pDC->MoveTo(0,0);
pDc->LineTo(rect.TopLeft());

good luck
