While waiting for help with 3d vectors, I am doing test for what will be an ambitious project for a cool 3d toolbox. So started playing around with controls to see if I can get them to work.

Ran into a strange problem, if you click on the scrollbars thumb thingy and drag it to the left, it jumps to the right and gives an nPos of 65000+
This seems to only happen when you set the range for the scroll bar with a negative number. Not sure if it is a bug or not.

Also a strange thing, in MyWindow::OnHScroll(int nCommand,int nPos,int nID),int

It loses the value of nPos, but retains nID, so in the second select set, I had to assign nPos to nPos2 to not lose the value, seemed strange that it loses that info.


The ok button is just there, does nothing. Escape to exit.

I wrote a tutorial once on using scrollbars.  Have to search for it and repost it.

Don't depend on nPos from the hander, use GetThumbPos instead.  nPos is not updated by windows before the SBTHUMBTRACK command is sent.  It also only has WORD resolution which is a holdover from windows 3.1 that Microsoft has left in there.

Ok thanks will check that out.

Ok got it working. Works both ways
First way:
CASE SBTHUMBTRACK:
         nPos2=pScroll->GetThumbPos();
         pScroll->SetScrollPos(nPos2);

Second way:
CASE SBTHUMBTRACK:
         pScroll->SetScrollPos(pScroll->GetThumbPos());

Your welcome ;)

Got another question. When you click on the button that is in the control window, I want it to close both windows. This would be like pressing Escape from the 3d screen.
w is a pointer for my 3dwindow

So I put these into my program:
import INT SendMessage alias SendMessageA(INT hWnd,UNSIGNED INT Msg,UNSIGNED INT wParam,INT lParam);
const WM_KEYDOWN = 0x100;
const VK_ESCAPE = 0x01B;

.
.
.
Where the button push is being processed, I am trying to send this message, from the control window to the 3d window.
SendMessage(w->m_hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_ESCAPE, 1);

What am I doing wrong? Nothing happens.

SendMessage or keybd_event doesn't work for DirectInput. This library reads data only from hardware, not from system queue.
You can create a extra pointer to other window(s):
class My3DWindow : C3DScreen
{
  CWindow *otherWindowToClose; // OnClose call ->Destroy();
}

If you prefer SendMessage - use WM_CLOSE,0,0 :)

Thanks will tinker with it to learn.
