FriendFeedCreating a Round Dialog
Posted

on April 18th, 1999
This code is used to make a round dialog for various Apps. This could be good for use with an MP3 or CDPLAYER or any other. Surprisingly it's not that hard! [I looked but nobody had written anything for a round dialog. I had been trying to shape a dialog for some time. Then after playing with the Microsoft CD for a SetWindowRgn() for a window I tried to use it for a dialog. Viola! After Jumping around a few times after it compiled I sent it to the Code Guru.
[CRgn m_rgn; // This is for the dialog area: It goes in your h. file // This Gets the size of the Dialog: This goes under the OnInitDialog Function Crect rcDialog GetClientRect(rcDialog); // This Creates area assigned to Dialog: This goes directly below the above in OnInitDialog m_rgn.CreateEllipticRgn(0, 0, rcDialog.Width(), rcDialogHeight()); SetWindowRgn(GetSafeHwnd(), (HRGN) m_rgn, TRUE);]

I've been making non rectangular dialogs lately, and there are a few different ways to do this. Yours is a good one, but I'm still confused as to how to create a DIALOG with it's icon and title in the task bar but setting it such that the dialog doesnt draw itself a caption. You can do it with a CWnd, by using the CreateEx(...) function, and setting the title string in one of it's parameters, but I havent got this working for a dialog. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance,
Charlie

When I use a dialog box, in the OnPaint function i draw different color rectangles.
How can i do, to avoid blink the screen when i move another window on my dialog.
I save CRect objects in a CObArray.
Thanks You.

When the round dialog is moved, there is a slight redraw problem. There is a slight lag in the redraw. Is there any way to have this lag taken out?

Any Shape Dialog Box
Posted by Legacy on 05/23/1999 12:00amOriginally posted by: Jon Woolman
If you use CreatePolygonRgn() as in the previous examples, you can create dialog boxes of any shape. It is also possible to use CreatePolyPolygonRgn() to create dialog boxes that are separated into several different shapes.

I was unable to get rid of the remains of the dialog frame using the resource editor, however, it you change the create for the region from 0,0 to 2,2 , the frame goes bye bye.
This make it all look a bit more tidy. By the way, is there another way to centre the caption without using spaces??
// This Creates area assigned to Dialog
m_rgn.CreateEllipticRgn(2, 2, rcDialog.Width(), rcDialog.Height());
::SetWindowRgn(GetSafeHwnd(), (HRGN)m_rgn, TRUE);
