Paulie Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Hi all, this is my first time ever working with the GuiCtrlCreateGraphic and GuiCtrlSetGraphic functions. I'm making just a little screen saver thing that is supposed to look like a radar. However, because i am new to these functions, I'm not sure how i can optomize this to get rid of the crazy amount of flicker... I'm thinking it is because i create and delete so many controls, i but i don't know how else to erase a line i have drawn with $GUI_GR_LINE I know this is probably the most CPU intensive way possible to do this, but i can't find any other way.. Halp plz! expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Math.au3> HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Quit") $GUI = GUICreate("RADAR",1290, 1034, -1,-1, $WS_POPUP) GUISetBkColor(0x182310) $Rings = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(100,0, 1280, 1024) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x182310) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_PENSIZE, 5) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_COLOR, 0x008800) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_ELLIPSE, 100,100, 1024-200, 1024-200) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_ELLIPSE, 0,0, 1024, 1024) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_ELLIPSE, 200,200, 1024-400, 1024-400) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_MOVE, 1024/2,0) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_LINE, 1024/2,1024) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_MOVE, 0,1024/2) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_LINE, 1024,1014/2) $CX = 1024/2+100 $Cy = 1024/2 Dim $Pos[361][2] For $Deg = 0 to 360 $Time = _Radian($Deg) $x= Int($Cx+ Sin($Time)*1024/2) $y= Int($CY+ Cos($Time)*1024/2) $Pos[$Deg][0] =$x $Pos[$Deg][1] =$y Next GUISetState() For $i = 360 to 0 Step -1 $Line = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(0,0, 0, 0) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_PENSIZE, 10) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_COLOR, 0x00EE00) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_MOVE, $Cx,$Cy) GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_LINE, $Pos[$i][0],$Pos[$i][1]) GUICtrlSetGraphic($Line, $GUI_GR_Refresh) Sleep(100) GUICtrlDelete($Line) Next Func Quit() Exit EndFunc
JFee Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I would love to know the same thing. I avoid using graphic controls for this very reason. I wish there was a better alternative to them. Regards,Josh
smashly Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Hi paulie, here's similar with GDIPlus.

weaponx Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Hey Paulie, monoceres and I had been working on something exactly like this. You should ask him about it.
