All options %dw

Hi,

I'm trying to make a resizable bit-mapped window for SimplePlot with full mouse support; namely, add a pivot and user resize capabilities to the following statement:

iAns = WINIO@('%^dw[full_mouse_input]', HDC_DIM % iBitmapDC,icb)

as advertised in the docs, I can't do it. How do I pass the bitmap back to ClearWin if I take out the argument?

Thanks, Bruce

I am a little puzzled by your aim. %dw provides a relatively low-level control that acts as a 'drawing surface' for Windows API drawing routines such as DrawText. In contrast %pl provides a 'drawing surface' for SimplePlot routines. Normally you would choose between using either %pl or %dw. In fact %dw is a old control that was effectively made redundant by %gr. %pl is usually prefered to %gr when drawing graphs.

You should probably confine your attention to %pl and investigate the advanced SimplePlot features that are described in the Silverfrost Knowledge base.
