Hi, Has anyone tried to mimic the dotted boxes that dialog editor uses when sizing dialog boxes, or other controls? I've investigated using the "PS_DOT" pen, however, the result I get (in MM_TEXT map mode) is quite unsatisfactory. I've also investigated creating my own brush using bitmaps, and calling the function "FrameRect". This has turned into a time-consuming effort, since I don't understand how a 8x8 bit bitmap draws a 1 pixel wide frame. If anyone has more information on the function "FrameRect", drawing a 1 pixel wide frame with a brush, or just plain knows how to create the dialog editor's dotted boxes, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
