in c++ gtk::drawarea: how to refresh image - c++

I am using gtkmm for a GUI in C++.
I have a Gtk::DrawingArea on which I have an image (filename):
class MyArea : public Gtk::DrawingArea
{
public:
MyArea(string filename)
{
m_image = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file(filename.c_str());
}
virtual bool on_draw(const Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context>& cr)
{
if (!m_image)
return false;
Gtk::Allocation allocation = get_allocation();
const int width = allocation.get_width();
const int height = allocation.get_height();
// Draw the image in the middle of the drawing area, or (if the image is
// larger than the drawing area) draw the middle part of the image.
Gdk::Cairo::set_source_pixbuf(cr, m_image, (width - m_image->get_width())/2, (height - m_image->get_height())/2);
cr->paint();
return true;
}
Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> m_image;
}
I would like to have a function that change the image (with filename2). But I can't find how to :-/
Could someone help me with this please. Thank You

As a member of your class:
void change_image(string filename2)
{
m_image = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file(filename2.c_str());
queue_draw();
}

Gtkmm : Drawing with cairo

Using Gtkmm and Cairo, I want to be able to draw different shapes on photos. In the header bar of my window, I have two buttons representing shapes to draw (circle and rectangle). When you click one of them, you can draw its associated shape. Here is mt code:
MyWindow.cpp
#include "MyWindow.h"
MyWindow::MyWindow()
: circleButton("circle"),
rectangleButton("rectangle ") {
set_default_size(700, 700);
set_position(Gtk::WIN_POS_CENTER);
header.set_show_close_button(true);
header.pack_start(rectangleButton);
header.pack_start(circleButton);;
set_titlebar(header);
// Dwg is an instance of Drawing class
circleButton.signal_clicked().connect([&] {
Dwg.switch_to_circle();
});
rectangleButton.signal_clicked().connect([&] {
Dwg.switch_to_rectangle();
});
add(Dwg);
show_all();
}

When I click another shape, the previous shape keeps being displayed on the drawing area and the new shape is drawn on it. On the other hand, when the signal is disconnected, the corresponding shape also disappears from the screen. How could I make sure the shapes keep being displayed?
I am not sure exactly what made you inherit from Gtk::Layout instead of using a standard Gtk::DrawingArea, but I created a simplified (and working) example using a design similar to yours.
The basic idea is that when the user is done drawing a shape (stops the drag and releases the mouse button), the following happens:
The current state of the window (in terms of what is drawn on it) is saved to a Gtk::Pixbuf.
That Gtk::PixBuf is painted on the window.
This means that in 1., the last drawn shaped is also saved in the buffer. When 2. happens, is repainted on the window and hence does not go away. Here is the code, which you will need to adapt a bit to your case. First, a draw helper:
class DrawHelper : public Gtk::Layout
{
public:
DrawHelper();
~DrawHelper();
private:
bool draw_image(const Cairo::RefPtr<::Cairo::Context>& p_context);
bool draw_rectangle(const Cairo::RefPtr<::Cairo::Context>& p_context);
bool add_current_shape(const Cairo::RefPtr<::Cairo::Context>& p_context);
Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> m_buffer;
double m_startX;
double m_startY;
double m_endX;
double m_endY;
double m_width;
double m_height;
sigc::connection m_drawConnection;
};
which is responsible to do the actual drawing and handle connections. It is implemented like so:
DrawHelper::DrawHelper()
{
// Create a pixel buffer containing the background image:
m_buffer = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file("file.svg", DEFAULT_WIDTH, DEFAULT_HEIGHT);
signal_draw().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &DrawHelper::draw_image));
// Enable signals:
add_events(Gdk::BUTTON1_MOTION_MASK | Gdk::BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | Gdk::BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK);
// Save initial pointer position when clicked:
signal_button_press_event().connect(
[this](GdkEventButton* p_event)
{
m_startX = p_event->x;
m_startY = p_event->y;
return true;
});
// Update rectangle when mouse is dragged:
signal_motion_notify_event().connect(
[this](GdkEventMotion* p_event)
{
m_endX = p_event->x;
m_endY = p_event->y;
m_width = m_endX - m_startX;
m_height = m_endY - m_startY;
signal_draw().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &DrawHelper::draw_rectangle));
queue_draw();
return true;
});
// Change background so it includes the shape just drawn by
// the user:
signal_button_release_event().connect(
[this](GdkEventButton* p_event)
{
// Notice we save to connection to later disconnect it:
m_drawConnection = signal_draw().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &DrawHelper::add_current_shape));
return true;
});
}
DrawHelper::~DrawHelper() = default;
bool DrawHelper::draw_image(const Cairo::RefPtr<::Cairo::Context>& p_context)
{
Gdk::Cairo::set_source_pixbuf(p_context, m_buffer, 0, 0);
p_context->paint();
return false;
}
bool DrawHelper::draw_rectangle(const Cairo::RefPtr<::Cairo::Context>& p_context)
{
p_context->save();
p_context->set_line_width(2);
p_context->rectangle(m_startX, m_startY, m_width, m_height);
p_context->stroke();
p_context->restore();
return false;
}
bool DrawHelper::add_current_shape(const Cairo::RefPtr<::Cairo::Context>& p_context)
{
// Save the current drawing, including the last drawn
// shape. This will become the new background (which will
// visually preserve the last drawn shape).
m_buffer = Gdk::Pixbuf::create(p_context->get_target(), 0, 0, DEFAULT_WIDTH, DEFAULT_HEIGHT);
Gdk::Cairo::set_source_pixbuf(p_context, m_buffer, 0, 0);
p_context->paint();
// We disconnect the signal because we do not want it
// to keep getting called:
m_drawConnection.disconnect();
return false;
}
Then, a window to hold this helper and display it to the user:
class MyWindow : public Gtk::Window
{
public:
MyWindow();
private:
DrawHelper m_drawHelper;
};
MyWindow::MyWindow()
{
set_default_size(DEFAULT_WIDTH, DEFAULT_HEIGHT);
// Add draw helper:
add(m_drawHelper);
// Show all widgets:
show_all();
}
Then, the main to run it:
#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <cairo/cairo.h>
#include <cairomm/context.h>
#include <cairomm/surface.h>
constexpr int DEFAULT_WIDTH = 500;
constexpr int DEFAULT_HEIGHT = 500;
// DrawHelper here ...
// MyWindow here ...
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
auto app = Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv, "org.gtkmm.examples.base");
MyWindow window;
return app->run(window);
}
That being said, I would recommend you use a classic Gtk::DrawingArea instead and overload the on_draw signal handler. This would make all of this easier to understand, and the online documentation would be of more help to you.
If you are still interested, I have another solution for you. Instead of saving the already drawn shape on the background image, you could save their parameters directly and redraw them. I have written an example program that does just this:
#include <memory>
#include <vector>
#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <cairo/cairo.h>
#include <cairomm/context.h>
#include <cairomm/surface.h>
constexpr int DEFAULT_WIDTH = 500;
constexpr int DEFAULT_HEIGHT = 500;
constexpr double LINE_WIDTH = 2.0;
// Free functions for drawing shapes:
namespace
{
void DrawRectangle(const Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context>& p_context,
double p_startX,
double p_startY,
double p_width,
double p_height)
{
p_context->save();
p_context->set_line_width(LINE_WIDTH);
p_context->set_source_rgba(0, 0, 1, 1);
p_context->rectangle(p_startX, p_startY, p_width, p_height);
p_context->stroke();
p_context->restore();
}
void DrawCircle(const Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context>& p_context,
double p_startX,
double p_startY,
double p_width)
{
p_context->save();
p_context->set_line_width(LINE_WIDTH);
p_context->set_source_rgba(0, 0, 1, 1);
p_context->arc(p_startX, p_startY, p_width, 0, 2 * M_PI);
p_context->stroke();
p_context->restore();
}
}

Each time the user releases the mouse button, the drawn shape is saved (with the parameters at the time of the release) into an std::vector as an IShape, which has a Draw, method. This method can later be called to redraw the shape. Then, in the on_draw handler, all previously drawn shapes are redrawn, leaving them on the screen. Note that I have used a Gtk::DrawingArea here, which is more typical than your approach. I wanted to show you that alternative which, in my opinion, makes cleaner code (no messing around with the handler callbacks).
On a final note, possible enhancements are possible with this (there are more, theses are just some I was thinking about while writing this):
You could reduce performance costs by caching some stuff instead of redrawing everything every time.
You could reduce performance costs by using parameters in the calls to queue_draw so that the whole widget is not constantly redrawn (only the part that changed).
You could use a factory to create the shapes. This would decouple the shape creation from the rest of the code, which would only know the IShape interface. It would also make you program easier to maintain if you ever want to add shapes.

Zoom Image at specific location - centered

So I wanted to add a texture to a map, but the problem with it is that I can't quite get why it doesn't get to the correct place while zooming with different zoom sizes.
I'm normally trying to achieve setting the texture position on the background to my position, keeping myself centered into the frame: for example my texture size is 1500x1600 and I'm located at X140, Y590 in that picture ( yes, the coordinates are retrieved correctly as I've checked with the console ), zooming in with some value and scaling the texture and setting it's position to where I'm at.
The code is the following:
if (!areTexturesInit) {
InitiateTextures();
areTexturesInit = true;
}
wxBitmap bit(imageTest);
wxPaintDC dc(this);
double zoomSize = 0.9; // here I'm applying the zooming proportions ( 0.1 - bigger size of the texture, 0.9 - more zoomed in )
this->SetSize(wxSize(386, 386)); // size of the main frame
backgroundSize.x = GetSize().x; // get the size of the main frame
backgroundSize.y = GetSize().y;
middlePoint.x = (backgroundSize.x / 2); // calculate the middle point of the frame
middlePoint.y = (backgroundSize.y / 2);
mapSizeX = 25600 / -zoomSize; // scale vs zoom size
mapSizeY = 25600 / zoomSize;
Vector3 myPosition;
GetPlayerPosition(&myPosition); // gets my location
float TextureCoordinateX = middlePoint.x + (myPosition.x / mapSizeX) * backgroundSize.x;
float TextureCoordinateY = middlePoint.y - (myPosition.y / mapSizeY) * backgroundSize.y;
dc.DrawBitmap(bit, TextureCoordinateX, TextureCoordinateY);
Vector3 myPosOnMap = PositionToMapPosition(myPosition, myPosition); // calculates my position on the map vs mapSizeX and Y & rotates vector
dc.SetPen(wxPen(wxColor(255, 0, 0), 4));
dc.DrawRectangle(wxRect(myPosOnMap.x, myPosOnMap.y, 2, 2)); // draws me on the map with a red square
The problem is that I think I've messed up the zooming part somewhere.
I've attached some demos so you can see what I'm talking about:
"zoomSize" of 0.9:
"zoomSize" of 0.67 - which kind of works, but I need to change it to different zoomSizes, there being the problem:
Panning and zooming a dc is surprisingly complicated. It requires working with 3 separate coordinate systems and it's really easy to accidentally work in the wrong coordinate system.
Here's an example I wrote a while ago that shows how to do the calculations that allow a dc to be pan and zoomed.
It sounds like you're not interested in the pan part, so you can ignore all the stuff that allows a user to set their own pan. However, it's still necessary to to use a pan vector just for the zoom in order to center the zoom at the correct location.

OSG render scene into image

I trying to render an OSG scene into a image in my Qt program. Refer to the example of SnapImageDrawCallback(https://www.mail-archive.com/osg-users#lists.openscenegraph.org/msg45360.html).
class SnapImageDrawCallback : public osg::CameraNode::DrawCallback {
public:
SnapImageDrawCallback()
{
_snapImageOnNextFrame = false;
}
void setFileName(const std::string& filename) { _filename = filename; }
const std::string& getFileName() const { return _filename; }
void setSnapImageOnNextFrame(bool flag) { _snapImageOnNextFrame = flag;}
bool getSnapImageOnNextFrame() const { return _snapImageOnNextFrame; }
virtual void operator () (const osg::CameraNode& camera) const
{
if (!_snapImageOnNextFrame) return;
int x,y,width,height;
x = camera.getViewport()->x();
y = camera.getViewport()->y();
width = camera.getViewport()->width();
height = camera.getViewport()->height();
osg::ref_ptr<osg::Image> image = new osg::Image;
image->readPixels(x,y,width,height,GL_RGB,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE);
if (osgDB::writeImageFile(*image,_filename))
{
std::cout << "Saved screen image to `"<<_filename
<<"`"<< std::endl;
}
_snapImageOnNextFrame = false;
}
protected:
std::string _filename;
mutable bool _snapImageOnNextFrame;
};
I set this as a the osg::Viewer's camera's FinalDrawCallback, but I failed with a blank image, and get this warning "Warning: detected OpenGL error 'invalid operation' at start of State::apply()" when invoke image->readPixels, My osgViewer::Viewer in embedded in QQuickFramebufferObject. Can any one give some suggestions?
Not sure to give you the right pointer, you should provide more details about your setup and what you're after.
As a general note, if you're trying to render with OSG into a QtQuick widget the best approach is to have osg to render to an FBO in a separate shared GL context, and copy the FBO contents back the qtquick widget.
I had tested this approach some times ago, see code here:
https://github.com/rickyviking/qmlosg
Another similar project here: https://github.com/podsvirov/osgqtquick
you can use pbo
ext->glGenBuffers(1, &pbo);
ext->glBindBuffer(GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB, pbo);
ext->glBufferData(GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB, _width*_height*4, 0, GL_STREAM_READ);
glReadPixels(0, 0, _width, _height, _pixelFormat, _type, 0);
GLubyte* src = (GLubyte*)ext->glMapBuffer(GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB,
GL_READ_ONLY_ARB);
if(src)
{
memcpy(image->data(), src, _width*_height*4);
ext->glUnmapBuffer(GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB);
}
ext->glBindBuffer(GL_PIXEL_PACK_BUFFER_ARB, 0);

Qt: How to create a clearly visible glow effect for a QLabel? (e.g. using QGraphicsDropShadowEffect)

I am trying to add a glow effect to a QLabel so that it looks like the time display in the following picture:
I found out that you can "misuse" a QGraphicsDropShadowEffect for this:
QGraphicsDropShadowEffect * dse = new QGraphicsDropShadowEffect();
dse->setBlurRadius(10);
dse->setOffset(0);
dse->setColor(QColor(255, 255, 255));
ui.label->setGraphicsEffect(dse);
However, the resulting effect is too weak, you can barely see it:
Unfortunately, you can not modify the strength of the effect, only color and blur radius.
One idea would be to apply multiple QGraphicsDropShadowEffect to the label, so that it gets more visible due to overlapping. But calling ui.label->setGraphicsEffect(dse); will always delete any previous effects, i.e. I was not able to set multiple QGraphicsEffect to the same object.
Any ideas how you can create a clearly visible glow effect with Qt?
Meanwhile, I tinkered my own graphics effect based on QGraphicsBlurEffect and using parts of this answer. If you know any better solutions, let me know.
qgraphicsgloweffect.h:
#pragma once
#include <QGraphicsEffect>
#include <QGraphicsBlurEffect>
#include <QGraphicsColorizeEffect>
#include <QGraphicsPixmapItem>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QPainter>
class QGraphicsGlowEffect :
public QGraphicsEffect
{
public:
explicit QGraphicsGlowEffect(QObject *parent = 0);
QRectF boundingRectFor(const QRectF &rect) const;
void setColor(QColor value);
void setStrength(int value);
void setBlurRadius(qreal value);
QColor color() const;
int strength() const;
qreal blurRadius() const;
protected:
void draw(QPainter* painter);
private:
static QPixmap applyEffectToPixmap(QPixmap src, QGraphicsEffect *effect, int extent);
int _extent = 5;
QColor _color = QColor(255, 255, 255);
int _strength = 3;
qreal _blurRadius = 5.0;
};
qgraphicsgloweffect.cpp:
#include "QGraphicsGlowEffect.h"
#include <QtCore\qmath.h>
QGraphicsGlowEffect::QGraphicsGlowEffect(QObject *parent) : QGraphicsEffect(parent)
{
}
void QGraphicsGlowEffect::setColor(QColor value) {
_color = value;
}
void QGraphicsGlowEffect::setStrength(int value) {
_strength = value;
}
void QGraphicsGlowEffect::setBlurRadius(qreal value) {
_blurRadius = value;
_extent = qCeil(value);
updateBoundingRect();
}
QColor QGraphicsGlowEffect::color() const {
return _color;
}
int QGraphicsGlowEffect::strength() const {
return _strength;
}
qreal QGraphicsGlowEffect::blurRadius() const {
return _blurRadius;
}
QRectF QGraphicsGlowEffect::boundingRectFor(const QRectF &rect) const {
return QRect(
rect.left() - _extent,
rect.top() - _extent,
rect.width() + 2 * _extent,
rect.height() + 2 * _extent);
}
void QGraphicsGlowEffect::draw(QPainter* painter) {
QPoint offset;
QPixmap source = sourcePixmap(Qt::LogicalCoordinates, &offset);
QPixmap glow;
QGraphicsColorizeEffect *colorize = new QGraphicsColorizeEffect;
colorize->setColor(_color);
colorize->setStrength(1);
glow = applyEffectToPixmap(source, colorize, 0);
QGraphicsBlurEffect *blur = new QGraphicsBlurEffect;
blur->setBlurRadius(_blurRadius);
glow = applyEffectToPixmap(glow, blur, _extent);
for (int i = 0; i < _strength; i++)
painter->drawPixmap(offset - QPoint(_extent, _extent), glow);
drawSource(painter);
}
QPixmap QGraphicsGlowEffect::applyEffectToPixmap(
QPixmap src, QGraphicsEffect *effect, int extent)
{
if (src.isNull()) return QPixmap();
if (!effect) return src;
QGraphicsScene scene;
QGraphicsPixmapItem item;
item.setPixmap(src);
item.setGraphicsEffect(effect);
scene.addItem(&item);
QSize size = src.size() + QSize(extent * 2, extent * 2);
QPixmap res(size.width(), size.height());
res.fill(Qt::transparent);
QPainter ptr(&res);
scene.render(&ptr, QRectF(), QRectF(-extent, -extent, size.width(), size.height()));
return res;
}
Then you can use it like:
QGraphicsGlowEffect * glow = new QGraphicsGlowEffect();
glow->setStrength(4);
glow->setBlurRadius(7);
ui.label->setGraphicsEffect(glow);
This results in a nice glow effect:

How do I prevent flickering on CListCtrl?

I'm using a CListCtrl/CListView report view (LVS_REPORT) in virtual mode (LVS_OWNERDATA) with LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER enabled and I encounter ugly flickering. Double buffer have a real effect but it doesn't stop all flickering (without it very slow).
I'm not looking for switching to other controls that would require a high amount of rework (like ObjectListView)
How does the flickering behaves:
on column resize - the background is first clean using lightgray and after this is displayed the text (background is white)
on mouse scroll (animated) - for a very short time there is lightgray-bar displayed in the area where new lines are to be displayed.
It looks like it does clean the background using the default window background color (lightgray) for the area where it has to redraw.
How do I solve the flickering problem?
Try to do the following:
- Set Clip Children and Clip Sibling for paremt dialog of List Control.
- Make dirived from CListCtrl class. In this class overwrite OnEraseBkgnd. In the OnEraseBkgnd fill with background color area around of visible items of the list.
The OnEraseBkgnd can look like:
BOOL CListCtrlEx::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CBrush br;
CRect rcCli;
CRect rcItemsRect(0, 0, 0, 0);
int nHeadHeight = 0;
int nItems = GetItemCount();
GetClientRect(&rcCli);
CHeaderCtrl* pHeadCtrl = GetHeaderCtrl();
if (pHeadCtrl)
{
CRect rcHead;
pHeadCtrl->GetWindowRect(&rcHead);
nHeadHeight = rcHead.Height();
}
rcCli.top += nHeadHeight;
if (nItems > 0)
{
CPoint ptItem;
CRect rcItem;
GetItemRect(nItems - 1, &rcItem, LVIR_BOUNDS);
GetItemPosition(nItems - 1, &ptItem);
rcItemsRect.top = rcCli.top;
rcItemsRect.left = ptItem.x;
rcItemsRect.right = rcItem.right;
rcItemsRect.bottom = rcItem.bottom;
if (GetExtendedStyle() & LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES)
rcItemsRect.left -= GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXEDGE) + 16;
}
br.CreateSolidBrush(GetBkColor());
if (rcItemsRect.IsRectEmpty())
pDC->FillRect(rcCli, &br);
else
{
if (rcItemsRect.left > rcCli.left) // fill left rectangle
pDC->FillRect(
CRect(0, rcCli.top, rcItemsRect.left, rcCli.bottom), &br);
if (rcItemsRect.bottom < rcCli.bottom) // fill bottom rectangle
pDC->FillRect(
CRect(0, rcItemsRect.bottom, rcCli.right, rcCli.bottom), &br);
if (rcItemsRect.right < rcCli.right) // fill right rectangle
pDC->FillRect(
CRect(rcItemsRect.right, rcCli.top, rcCli.right, rcCli.bottom), &br);
}
return TRUE;
}
I know only way to have flicker free is using double buffering or MemDC.
have found this article: Flicker-free-drawing-of-any-control
This article explains it well how to quickly perform Non Flickering drawing on your CListCtrl.
And it works excellent.
PS: VS 2005 doesn't have CMemDC class you will need to implement it your self, or use the following code:
//
// CMemDC.h header file
//
#pragma once
class CMemDC
{
public:
CMemDC(CDC& dc, CWnd* pWnd);
CMemDC(CDC& dc, const CRect& rect);
virtual ~CMemDC();
CDC& GetDC() { return m_bMemDC ? m_dcMem : m_dc; }
BOOL IsMemDC() const { return m_bMemDC; }
BOOL IsVistaDC() const { return m_hBufferedPaint != NULL; }
void EraseBkClip();
protected:
CDC& m_dc;
BOOL m_bMemDC;
HANDLE m_hBufferedPaint;
CDC m_dcMem;
CBitmap m_bmp;
CBitmap* m_pOldBmp;
CRect m_rect;
};
//
// CMemDC.cpp source file
//
#include "CMemDC.h"
CMemDC::CMemDC(CDC& dc, CWnd* pWnd) :
m_dc(dc), m_bMemDC(FALSE), m_hBufferedPaint(NULL), m_pOldBmp(NULL)
{
ASSERT_VALID(pWnd);
pWnd->GetClientRect(m_rect);
m_rect.right += pWnd->GetScrollPos(SB_HORZ);
m_rect.bottom += pWnd->GetScrollPos(SB_VERT);
if (m_dcMem.CreateCompatibleDC(&m_dc) &&
m_bmp.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&m_dc, m_rect.Width(), m_rect.Height()))
{
m_bMemDC = TRUE;
m_pOldBmp = m_dcMem.SelectObject(&m_bmp);
}
}
CMemDC::CMemDC(CDC& dc, const CRect& rect) :
m_dc(dc), m_bMemDC(FALSE), m_hBufferedPaint(NULL), m_pOldBmp(NULL), m_rect(rect)
{
ASSERT(!m_rect.IsRectEmpty());
if (m_dcMem.CreateCompatibleDC(&m_dc) &&
m_bmp.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&m_dc, m_rect.Width(), m_rect.Height()))
{
m_bMemDC = TRUE;
m_pOldBmp = m_dcMem.SelectObject(&m_bmp);
}
}
CMemDC::~CMemDC()
{
if (m_bMemDC)
{
CRect rectClip;
int nClipType = m_dc.GetClipBox(rectClip);
if (nClipType != NULLREGION)
{
if (nClipType != SIMPLEREGION)
{
rectClip = m_rect;
}
m_dc.BitBlt(rectClip.left, rectClip.top, rectClip.Width(), rectClip.Height(), &m_dcMem, rectClip.left, rectClip.top, SRCCOPY);
}
m_dcMem.SelectObject(m_pOldBmp);
}
}
void CMemDC::EraseBkClip()
{
CRect clip;
m_dcMem.GetClipBox(&clip);
m_dcMem.FillSolidRect(clip, GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOW));
}
There is an ultra simple way I found that worked for me:
Turn off redraw with m_List1.SetRedraw(false)
Reset contents with m_List1.ResetContents()
Add new strings in loop with m_List1.AddString()
Then finalize by turning back on redraw and a m_List1.UpdateWindow().
