Can anyone help me with filling a 2d object? I have drawn an object using "LineXY()" statements and now I'd like to fill it with a solid color. Code example:

hWin = CreateImage(1, 250, 255)
If hWin
StartDrawing(ImageOutput())

StopDrawing()
hDC.l = GetDC_(hWin)
br.l = CreateSolidBrush_(Color)
SelectObject_(hDC, br)
ExtFloodFill_(hDC, x2, y2, RGB(0, 0, 255), 1)
DeleteObject_(br)
ReleaseDC_(hWin, hDC)
EndIf
(x2 and y2 coordinates are inside the object to be filled)

Do I have the floodfill code correct? I've tried a couple of variations, like putting the floodfill code inside the "StartDrawing()"/"StopDrawing()" statements, using the plain "FloodFill_()" API call, and even drawing directly on a window, but I still can't get it to work.

Any and all constructive suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

I think you must use the Device Context of the window, not that of the image, but I can't try it without the rest of your code.

Hope it helps,

StartDrawing() returns the current DC. So the following code should work:

Fred,

Thanks for the hint about getting the DC. After getting into all sorts of complicated stuff, my REAL problem was much simpler: I was passing float variables to the ExtFloodFill() function, not long integers as required. When I fixed that, the floodfill worked as expected. It works correctly when drawing directly to a window or drawing on an image, which makes sense.

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,
Eric

StartDrawing() returns the current DC. So the following code should work:

Code: Select all

*DC = StartDrawing(....)
If *DC
  FloodFillEx(*DC, ....)
  StopDrawing()
EndIf
