Questions & Comments about WinLIFT / WinLIFT Experimental version
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on September 24, 2023, 11:06:00 pm »
The experimental version is a work in progress.
Old .sks files from version 4 should not be used with it,
some parameters are missing (causing random memory errors).

The correct .sks files to use must be those from version 5.00, with tooltip colors definition.

The concept / Tutor_18 (C++ VS2022 GDImage64 tutorial)
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on September 05, 2023, 09:26:17 am »
Eighteenth post of a series, translated from the "WinDev and PowerBASIC",
to explain the use of GDImage64 in procedural* programming mode with Visual Studio 2022.

About Tutor_18
This is a C++ transcription of a PowerBASIC demo written in 2009 with the official release of GDImage 5.00.
It was the first version able to mix 2D and 3D OpenGL into the same graphic control.
The application itself is skinned with WinLIFT, and share the same background wallpaper with all child controls.

The animation
Is using 1 OpenGL sphere (to display the moon, jupiter, mars, and pluto).
A multiframe bitmap to render the Jumper.
A text label bitmap.
And a mute button.

WinLIFT 6.00
Is an experimental version converted to VS2022, the whole code has been revisited for further code size reduction.
New API skMinTrackSizeX ();
return the minimum width size of main window once skinned.
New API skMinTrackSizeY ();
return the minimum height size of main window once skinned.
New API skUseThisBackground(IN HWND hWnd, IN WCHAR* zItem);
To change on the fly the wallpaper background without using the top left icon,
even when the .sks parameter is disabled "BACKGROUNDPATH,      resource\Background"
The skInitEngine API has an extra optional parameter:
skInitEngine (IN WCHAR* zSkinFile, IN WCHAR* zUserKey, IN HWND hParent);

GDImage 7.16
Is an experimental version converted to VS2022, with a new API named "ZD_GLtoBitmap" to dynamically turn the OpenGL context into a ZOBJECT sprite bitmap (see the RenderAnimation() procedure).


Last but not least,
the size of the standalone binary EXE is only 17 Kb.


   
* procedural programming mode, is based on direct use of the FLAT API (Windows SDK) that is the core meat of the OS.

You can manage the clone(s) using their own object ID in the callback.

long CALLBACK GDImageCallBack(IN HWND hWnd, IN UINT uMsg, IN WPARAM wParam, IN LPARAM lParam) {
    long nRet = 0; // Do not stop the event processing in GDImage

    static BOOL LeftMouseClick;

    long nID = ZI_MouseOverObjectID(); // <--- You can get the clone ID here

    switch (uMsg) {

    case WM_RBUTTONDOWN:
        if (nID == IDS_3DOBJECT) LeftMouseClick = TRUE;
        break;

    case WM_RBUTTONUP:
        if (nID == IDS_3DOBJECT && LeftMouseClick == TRUE) {
            gP.MouseHit = -1; LeftMouseClick = FALSE;
        }
        break;
    }

    return nRet;
}


However in this specific case, the clone(s) do not duplicate the OpenGL object, they clone only the bitmap of the IDS_3DOBJECT.

Thanks Patrice!

Regarding the cloned cubes, what other information is cloned when we clone an object? Why the event callback in GDImageEnableEvents() is not cloned?

Here it is now, I did a few changes in the new WinLIFT VS2022 experimental version.  ;)

The first post of this thread has been updated with a new WinLIFT64.dll using fully qualified paths that should work in debug mode.

« Last post by Patrice Terrier on September 02, 2023, 09:00:28 am »
I think to remember that GDIPLUS needs a fully qualified path, and since the .sks file has been moved to the resource folder, it is not found in debug mode, because the active folder is different.

I shall use zTrace to answer this question, and post a new WinLIFT version that will solve this debug issue.

Good question ...

Probably because the current folder used in debug mode is not the same than in release mode.

I could check in WinLIFT the complete folder path, and see what is different in debug mode than in release mode.

BTW, in this tutor I am detecting the different cube faces using a single color, see in the Drawcube(Hitdetection) procedure glColor4ub(0,0,ID,255).
