annoying GDI text,too narrow spaces

[daydreamer]

Hi
drawtext and textout,draws too thin " " ,but in db's in editor its form a rectangular text
if I replace with "X____________X" instead I get the right number
I use a loop to go thru all text lines

SetTextCharacterExtra()

was temporary stuck on different bug,not redrawing at all

[daydreamer]

Any way to control what extended ascii part shows?
It don't show anything useful right now

Go there:

looks like SetTextCharacterExtra() also works on drawtext

mov eax,rv(TextOutW,hDC,400,400,ebx,20)
doesnt output hiragana/katakana/cjk unicode,just "A - - - - - - - - "
using

Code Select Expand


testuni dw 041h,03041h,03a1h,04070h,04060h,04050h,04040h,04030h,04020h,04010h
        dw 040f0h,040e0h,040d0h
        dw 040c0h,040b0h,040a0h,04190h,04101h,04102h,04103h,04104h
        dw 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

[code]
mov eax,rv(DrawTextW,hDC,ebx,20,ADDR txtrect, DT_NOCLIP);
works for A,hiragana,katakana?,cjk unicode

textoutw too old interface on win10?

its very easy to have simplified code compared to C with settextcolor and setBKcolor
instead of get/set combo to save/restore the previous color(s),its just
Settextcolor....
push eax ;returns old color
setBKcolor
push eax ;returns old color
......section that draws text
pop eax
setbkcolor(eax)
pop eax
setbkcolor(eax)

also tried out simpler use of Messagebox return without use variable to return in C
if(MessageBox(message,caption,MB_YESNO)==ID_YES){
//yescode here
}
else {
//nocode here
}
}

Check your API calls... they don't look correct. Besides, it should be done like this:

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\MasmBasic\Res\MbGui.asm
Event Paint
  push rv(SetTextColor, PtDC, Red)
  push PtDC
  push rv(SetBkColor, PtDC, Blue)
  push PtDC
  invoke TextOut, PtDC, 20, 20, Chr$("Hello World"), 11
  call SetBkColor
  call SetTextColor 
GuiEnd

That's great solution 
I have some separate proc's that draw gdi, and have hdc as argument
So maybe it could somehow be used for first gdi call,because it's already on stack

I want you to test these on different machines

2020 is drawing over statusbar.

Flickering is very good

next step hardware acceleration maybe,well reduce to drawing
beside the arrow keys there are tests controlling lvl change +-,rightclick and various keys tests popup messages,also possible to use flute to return to lvl0(surface)
