redraw graphics

[CalibeR50]

Hi, I searched for hours but didn't found a solution for my problem, I hope you can help me.

I just need a GUI with some graphics (cirles or rects). The position and size doesn't matter.

Now I first want to remove all graphics and create new ones (not the same quantity) on another position with other attributes.

It can't be that hard, but I really didn't found anything, so please paste me a simple code and I'll understand.

Thank you

Look at _GDIPlus_GraphicsClear if working with alpha blend

and WM_PAINT message to redraw the window

Edit - Example

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

_GDIPlus_Startup()
Global $Hgui=GUICreate('Testing | Phoenix XL',500,400)
Global $nGfx=_GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($Hgui)
GUIRegisterMsg(0xF,'Paint')
GUISetState()
While GUIGetMsg()<>-3
Sleep(10)
WEnd
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($nGfx)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()
GUIDelete()

Func Paint()
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawEllipse($nGfx,10,10,100,100)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawRect($nGfx,200,200,200,100)
EndFunc

A similar example with in-built functions

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate('Testing | Phoenix XL',500,400)
$hGfx1=GUICtrlCreateGraphic(20,20,110,110)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_RECT,0,0,90,90)
$hGfx2=GUICtrlCreateGraphic(200,200,200-10,200-10)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_ELLIPSE,0,0,90,90)
GUISetState()
While GUIGetMsg()<>-3
Sleep(10)
WEnd
GUIDelete()

Thanks for your reply.

I dind't tested it yet, but there is no refresh in your examples. Can you give me an example of this? Or a link to a tutorial? I didn't found any information about drawing graphics in AutoIt

In post 2 the func Paint is always called hence refreshed

in post 3 the in-built controls handle redrawing and repainting internally
