private static extern bool Rectangle
IntPtr hdc
int ulCornerX, int ulCornerY
int lrCornerX, int lrCornerY)
public void GetHdcForGDI(Pa intEventArgs e

// Create pen
Pen redPen = new Pen(Color.Red, 1)
// Draw rectangle with GDI+
e.Graphics.Draw Rectangle(redPe n, 10, 10, 100, 50)
// Get handle to device context
IntPtr hdc = new IntPtr()
hdc = e.Graphics.GetH dc()
// Draw rectangle with GDI using default pen
Rectangle(hdc, 10, 70, 110, 120)
// Release handle to device context
e.Graphics.Rele aseHdc(hdc)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all, In my html page I want to add an image say of 800x600. Now I want that when ever I am given two coordinates on this image say (x1, y1)=(50, 100) and (x2, y2)=(200, 300), the java script code will trace these coordinates on the image and draw the line between these two points. Can anyone please help me in writing the javascript code of this problem? Thanks and Regards Atif

I want to do some primitive graphics work - drawing circles, squares, lines and enable the user to manipulate these on an Access form. All the drawing methods are on the report object so are there any (free) third party controls or ways around this to enable drawing? Any help would be most appreciated. -- James

I want to use a skinny UserControl or something that runs the respective length. I could simply track the mouse and draw the little line on...

I have a vb6 application. On the main form is a picture box with one or two images and several pieces of text displayed in it. These are created on the fly using gdi32 routines that are all in a referenced, custom dll. I call a PrintImage routine in the dll and pass it only the the Picturebox.hdc from the main form. The dll's print routine draws to the hdc and it shows up in the picturebox perfectly. I would like to do a similar thing...

Hi all. Hope you can help me. This should be easy but I can't make this work. In brief I am building a page of thumbnails using images held in a SQLServer 2000 database. I do this by creating imagebuttons which point to a dummy page that takes the image and displays it via response. All works fine if I use explicit paths to a file (response.writefile(<filename>) or directly pass through the database image...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
