The Automation and the Container

Start with the project you created in Implementing the Paint Automation Initializing, Creating and Freeing.

  1. Add the following declaration to the WndProc function:

    static pCONTAINERHANDLE pContainer ; 

  2. Add the following code to the WndProc function after the ReleaseDC statement in the ID_FILE_OPEN of the WM_COMMAND message:

    {//AUTOMATION CONTAINER STUFF 
       CONTAINERPAINTDATA PaintData; 
       {//REMOVE THE OLD CONTAINER (IF ANY) 
          if (SUCCESS == L_ContainerIsValid(pContainer)) 
          { 
             L_AutRemoveContainer(pAutomation, pContainer);             
             L_ContainerFree(pContainer); 
          } 
       }//REMOVE THE OLD CONTAINER (IF ANY) 
       PaintData.pBitmap = &hBitmap; 
       PaintData.hRestrictionPalette = hPalette; 
       L_ContainerInit(&pContainer); 
       L_ContainerCreate(pContainer, hWnd); 
       L_AutAddContainer(pAutomation, pContainer, &PaintData); 
    }//AUTOMATION CONTAINER STUFF 

  3. Add the following code before the L_AutFree function call in the WndProc function in the WM_DESTROY message:

    if ( SUCCESS == L_ContainerIsValid ( pContainer ) ) 
    { 
       L_AutRemoveContainer ( pAutomation, pContainer ) ; 
       L_ContainerFree ( pContainer ) ; 
    } 

  4. Add the following declaration to the WndProc function:

    VECTORPOINT vptScalarNum, vptScalarDen ; 

  5. Add the following lines before the OnSize function call in the "case WM_SIZE:" in the WndProc function:

    if ( SUCCESS == L_ContainerIsValid ( pContainer ) ) 
    { 
       L_ContainerGetScalar ( pContainer, &vptScalarNum, &vptScalarDen ) ; 
       nScalarNum = ( L_INT ) vptScalarNum.x ; 
       nScalarDen = ( L_INT ) vptScalarDen.x ; 
    } 

  6. Add the following container function call after the OnSize function call in the "case WM_SIZE:" in the WndProc function:

    L_ContainerSetOffset ( pContainer, - rcView.left, - rcView.top, 0 ) ;  

  7. Add the following container function call after the OnHScroll function call in the "case WM_HSCROLL:" in the WndProc function:

    L_ContainerSetOffset ( pContainer, - rcView.left, - rcView.top, 0 ) ; 

  8. Add the following container function call after the OnVScroll function call in the "case WM_VSCROLL:" in the WndProc function:

    L_ContainerSetOffset ( pContainer, - rcView.left, - rcView.top, 0 ) ; 

  9. Compile and run the project by selecting Build->Execute tutorial.exe from the menu.
