Wheres the Big Red Button?

Heres an simple example of a 20x20 pseudo-3d table, written in C# with gdi+. source attached.

[Fred]

devious, what is your name?

I couldn't find a binary in that zip. Am I blind? If you could provide a built one and let us know which version of the libs it is built for that would be awesome. I don't have mono etc setup on this box.

Hey Fred, name is Gabe. Might re-register here as Gabe_Z or put it in my sig.

Heres a compiled release of that example, let me know if it doesnt work/needs some extra dlls or something, first time ive compiled for use on another computer.

Ive been looking into mono myself, havent set it up on this pc (windows) and targeted it/used the framework yet, but from the reading I have done it should work fine. It uses .net 2.0, but the code may even be compatible with 1.x, im not sure how gdi etc. was implemented in those versions.

[Fred]

Thanks :-) Don't worry about the name change, pseudonyms are fine :-) I just wanted to know so I could refer to you in a more personal way.

Code: Select all

/home/user> mono ./GabesGDI+example.exe 

** (./GabesGDI+example.exe:24511): WARNING **: Missing method System.Windows.Forms.Control::set_DoubleBuffered(bool) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/System.Windows.Forms/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll, referenced in assembly /home/user/GabesGDI+example.exe

I'm not certain I've done all I can to make it work though. I did install a winforms 2.0 lib but have to go and do things now...

Here's a screenshot if anyone's interested -


I havent gone through the code in detail yet - but it looks a like a good starting point

[Fred]

Thanks Shameem :-)

[deviousKA]

hmm, well, looks like mono doesnt support winforms doublebuffering. I should be able to figure out a workaround using a different sort of paintevent scheme.

You can remove those lines of code that are giving you an error with mono and it should compile and run, but the drawing is going to flicker when moving the cursor or any other update.

[Fred]

Could it be a missing library or did you google it up and find its not implemented?

Fred.
