How to repaint the window with button click?

Pages: 12
Juicej (62)
I can't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong but it must be something I'm over looking.
I have created two windows, window 1 has the buttons used to control the water level and window 2 are drawn two rectangles, one depicts a tank and the other water in a the tank.

I want the water level to change with the button clicks, So it could look like its filled, half or empty.

I am trying to do this by changing the value of the water level and then redrawing the rectangles but no changes happen.. One problem I see is that the program never enters into any of the if statements in the WM_PAINT section.

I know I am supposed to update the region somehow but I am not sure.

This is my code.

First thing I think I would do is to call the UpdateWindow() function (documentation found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-updatewindow). Maybe the window gets the message to change the size, but the region needs to be redrawn.

Second thing is to check the WinMain function. Because WM_PAINT is given as a message by the system, I think you would have to do a WM_PRINT message (unless if I am dumb, which I mostly am) to actually be able to draw into WindowProcedure2.

Edit: I don't mean to nitpick here, but why do you have cout << "Filling" << endl; in your draw_Tank_Status() function? WIN32 API does not have a console window to print to and therefore cannot use std::cout or std::cin statement.

Thanks much for responding..

I tried the update function but it doesn't work.

I don't think the WM_PRINT function is used to redraw shapes in the client area.

I used cout << "Filling" << endl; just for testing to see if it ever gets into the function.. But it never does.. I never enters into any of the if statements.

Hmmmmm. May I see the window class registration?

Normally you use InvalidateRect to force a repaint of the window, windows will send the WM_PAINT message
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-invalidaterect
Juicej (62)
Thannks much for the response Thomas.

Where exactly in the code would I include this the InvalidRect function?

Would it be in the WM_Paint in the WinPro2 or when I make the call to the function WinPro 1?

Please give me some guidance.

BOOL InvalidateRect(HWND hWnd,const RECT *lpRect, BOOL bErase);

I'm Guesing the Rect would be the area i want repaint?
kyviro (19)
The main thing I see sorta wrong with this is that you have 2 separate window functions that are called within the same function.

Now, I am uncertain if you really need two separate windows (I suggest maybe just use a static control (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/static-controls ) without text and has a dynamic height that can be changed while in a conditional or loop that keeps on updating the window). I could provide some code to do that.

But say you do need two separate windows. I don't recommend adding them into the same function to register the classes, as it gets messy. I would instead make the register functions separate and display the second one separate from the first one.

Also, I'd like to add that the UpdateWindow() works on a per call basis, which means that you would have to continuously recall the function. But instead, you've called it once in the register function (and that only happens once, mind you).

So I suggest making a conditional when you need to update the window.

You need to invalidate the second window when you change the water_level in MainWnd
I'm Guesing the Rect would be the area i want repaint? Yes
Juicej (62)
Hey Kyviro thanks for the response, I will be trying your solution.
Also, the link you sent leads to a 404 error.


Juicej (62)
Thanks Thomas.. I'm Gonna try your solution first as its simpler.

I've also seen other sources speaking of the same InvalidateRect Function.. I will let you know the results.
kyviro (19)
The bracket got mixed with the URL; should be fixed now. There you should be able to look at the (kinda unhelpful) documentation.

But you can make static windows by just specifying the class name as "Static".
Juicej (62)
The main problems is that its just not entering into the if statements in the WM_PAINT section.. I really can't figure out why, probably after i figure it out then I can focus on repainting.

To draw a custom button follow this steps:

1. Create a window with following styles:
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_OWNERDRAW
and following class name:
L"Button"

2. Now you can handle WM_PAINT in the procedure registered for this button.

Otherwise if you create a button that isn't BS_OWNERDRAW, such as BS_PUSHBUTTON then you need to sublass the button to override WM_PAINT:

1. To subclass a button needed to handle WM_PAINT with
SetWindowSubclass()

2. Now you can handle WM_PAINT in the procedure registered for this button.

3. Any message you do not process pass to:
DefSubclassProc()

4. Before destroying a button (probably during WM_NCDESTROY ) call:
RemoveWindowSubclass()

Note that DefSubclassProc() is used only for sublassed buttons, otherwise use DefWindowProc() for BS_OWNERDRAW

Best way to figure out is to set a breakpoint after line 105hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
Don't forget to call Invalidate Rect inside ID_FILL_TANK, ID_EMPTY_TANK and ID_HALF_FILL_TANK
Juicej (62)
Hey Thomas,

I did try debugging with the break statement this but it never goes into the if statements..

I printed the boolean values to see if they change but and they do change with every button click as designed.

I did use the invalidaterect fucntion and changed the entire screen but nothing happens..

I am thinking of posting the entire code and Good Samaritan can try it to see whats the problem and suggest a solution.
Juicej (62)
Hey Malibor,

Thanks much for helping.

I saw your suggestion but I'm not sure if you suggesting that I add BS_OVERDRAW to window 2 in its creation or something.. I understand the steps you want me to make but can you please specify where to make those changes, I'm not a professional yet, So I don't have the High level intuition like you guys lol..

I am gonna post the code in its entirety can you please check it out and recommend changes in ..

That would mean the world to me.
Thomas1965 (4571)
Posting the whole code is a very good idea.
I am sure someone can fix when he can compile and run it.
Don't forget to include the ressource files: *.rc and ressource header

@malibor,
come on. The OP ist struggling with a simple project and you start talking about owner-drawing stuff.
It will just confuse him.
Juicej (62)
This is the WinMain

Please let me know if anything is missing, I will edit the post.. I use DevC++

I will also like to add that I had to link the following files to the project:
libcomdlg32.a
libgdi32.a
