Yes, you do have to change all your old long tickcount values to currency. You could use a double.. but it's a little different, and still uses double the memory of gettickcount anyway... However, using this method defeats the old bug that happens when your server's up too long.. (The machine.. not ...

Okay... Standard Winsock control, or another form of Winsock usage? The reason I ask is.. Winsock control buffers for 100 ms and then sends what's in the buffer to where it needs to go.. As Spodi pointed out countless times, it is called 'Nagling' which can be overcome (still using the winsock contr...

There is also a Print() function... Haven't used it in a while, so I don't know the correct syntax... but you can print to the form in whatever font, in whatever location you wish. (Without a control)

Back on topic.. You do not regsvr32 (or 64, or any other regsvr) zlib.dll, because it is not a ActiveX object. You just declare the functions (Compress/Uncompress) like you would any other API functions.

It depends on what you're using it for..

For images, with my bitmap utils, it compresses the images (lossless) better than a png. :)

A far as I know, you don't register the zlib dll.. It's not a COM object, it's a library. You call its functions like you do any MS API.

I was just trying to figure out why it was in Advanced Questions rather than Beginner Questions, where it should have been.. So I made a guess, and tried to make a light joke out of it, and I guess nobody got it. :(

Contrary to many people's beliefs.. API != Advanced Programming Interface. It stands for Application Programming Interface.

No offense meant to the poster. It's a common mistake.

Topic moved to Beginner Questions.

I'm sure there's another way to stop the game screen from freezing when you use a menu.

I'm sure there is a way too.. I think you need to do some SetWindowLong()s on either the menu itself, or the form that the menu is child to.. I'd have to research it.

There is a property you have to set, on the form, called KeyPreview.. This will allow your form to 'preview' key presses, even if your focus is in a text box or something else.

That should make it work, I think. :)

How are you getting the hdc?

Code:
  pshDC = Surf.GetDC()
?

Are you doing this before each DrawText call? Are you releasing the device context properly?

I'll not be paying $1900 for a single person license of something like this that should have been included as part of the express edition of the new and "improved" visual studio.

Okay... After some quick google searching, I have found that C# is .Net, but that it has also been made semi-cross-platform... However, .Net code compiles into .NET Virtual Machine code... Not native or p-code... Which means that C# = VB.Net = whatever else .Net, which means your code is not secure....

I'm confused... I thought C# (C Sharp) was .Net..

Doesn't that mean it is not cross-platform?
