Ok for a game of mine I am making a map editor, which is really just a paint program and the game will check for the colors. I am using SetPixel for just putting dots, but I would like to know how to make a line (squares and circles would not be nescesary, but helpful). I tried to use MovetoEX and LineTO but I keep getting errors and I was wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks in advance, pw |

in class we made a green globs programs
the line function works great and so does the pset
pset (x,y) (i think) and
line (x,y) (something like this) and for a box:
line (x,y), bf (the line should be the diagnol of the box |

Forgive me, but are you absolutely sure they are all Longs? Could it be that you declared X1 and X2 like this: Dim X1, X2 as Long(which results in X1 being a Variant)?
Anyway, you can solve the problem by declaring all arguments with ByVal:
Sub DrawLine(ByVal hDC As Long, ByVal x1 As Long, ByVal y1 As Long, ByVal x2 As Long, ByVal y2 As Long)
This way VB won't complain if the variables don't have the precise data type expected.
Another thing: I might be missing something, but why not simply use VB's Line method?

I am possitive that they are all Longs, I just double checked and saw that the Click sub has X and Y as Singles, but I just made X2 and Y2 variables as longs and get the same error at the X1. |

Are you sure X1, Y1, X, and Y are of data type LONG? |

Ok, so I use the code like this "Call DrawLine(picMap.hdc, X1, Y1, X, Y)" and I get a ByRef Argument Type Mismatch error, and I do not see anything wrong. Any sugestions? |

Private Type POINTAPI
X As Long
Y As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function Polyline Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, lpPoint As POINTAPI, ByVal nCount As Long) As Long
Sub DrawLine(ByVal hDC as Long, X1 as Long, Y1 as Long, X2 as Long, Y2 As Long)
Dim lpPoint(0 to 1) as POINTAPI
lpPoint(0).X = X1
lpPoint(0).Y = Y1
lpPoint(1).X = X2
lpPoint(1).Y = Y2
Call Polyline(hDC, lpPoint(0), 2&)
End Sub
If you use a picturebox make sure your scale mode is pixels. |
