Re: isIconic issue again...
Heh. I've been sitting here trying to figure out what the last version of
Windows was that we could draw our own icon when minimized...was it 3.11, or
did it still work in 95/98? I can't remember :)
Cheers,
Mark

Hello,
I'm trying to undestand every piece of code the vc wirard create. In
particular, I'm not able un understand when the function IsIconic()
became true in this piece of code:
void CGUI1Dlg::OnPaint()
{
if (IsIconic())
{
CPaintDC dc(this);
SendMessage(WM_ICONERASEBKGND,
reinterpret_cast<WPARAM>(dc.GetSafeHdc()), 0);
// Centrare l'icona nel rettangolo client.
int cxIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON);
int cyIcon = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON);
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
int x = (rect.Width() - cxIcon + 1) / 2;
int y = (rect.Height() - cyIcon + 1) / 2;
// Disegnare l'icona
dc.DrawIcon(x, y, m_hIcon);
}
else
{
CDialog::OnPaint();
}
}
I tried to search the old posts and seems that under XP this funtion
never became true, is it true?
AFAIK, it was only ever useful in 16-bit Windows, where you got to paint
your icon when minimized, making possible wonderful programs like "Tiny
Elvis". I always delete it, but as it doesn't hurt anything, you can leave
it.
