Dislin Windows Form (.NET APPLICATION)

[Mohammed Mostafa]

I have Three questions :

Can I change the back ground color of the legend and maybe display the
legend entries on the same line.

Can I make it so that instead of opening a DISLIN plotting Window ,
the plot graphics are dislayed in a plotting area inside a windows
form (.NET Application).

Is there any news bout a new version of DISLIN for .NET applications
that is object oriented.

Thanks alot

--> You could simply plot a filled square "AREAF" with the desired color before plotting the legend. You can use "NXLEGN" and "NYLEGN" to get the required size.

--> Have a look at the "SETXID" function. Also check the mailing-list archive. There has been an extensive thread on this problem.

It worked . but as soon as I move the window (left or right ) outside
the screen and return it the plot would vanish.

Hi,

if you plotwindow gets a "WM_PAINT" message from Windows, it has to repaint the window. I'm not sure whether windows also tells you which part of the plotwindow will need a redrawing.

This is something you have to implement in the main message processing loop of your .NET application.

Armin

I didn't get a "WM_PAINT" message from Windows. The window opens
perfectly , the graphs are perfect . but they vanish as soon as I
move the window outside the screen.

Are you sure ? Your plotwindow should also get a WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING and WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED. If your plotwindow does not get a WM_PAINT message, you could use the "UpdateWindow" function to send this message.

Note that I only know about the basic Windows API. I don't know how this is encapsulated in a .NET Forms application. But somewhere in your code, you should be able to detect these things and react appropriately.

Cheers,
Armin
