CPalette and CRgn [C++][MFC] - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I am in a GDI course and have a ten page research paper to write and I could use some help finding correct, relevant resources.
Whether it be a website, book, or just general advice.

The official topic is "Usage of user defined palettes, regions, and how the display affects the color."

thanks

That depends on what level of detail you're looking for. If you want the nitty-gritty details, then you need to get right down to the Win32 API (which contain the functions that MFC wraps around). For that, I would suggest reading Chapter 5 (regions) and 16 (palettes) in Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows " from Microsoft Press. I guarantee you will walk away with more detail than you will ever know what to do with.

However, if you're just looking for some detail on the classes themselves, then this or this might be a good place to look for regions, and this would be a good place to look for palettes.

Edit: Note the MSDN links work better in Internet Explorer than, say, Netscape. Hmm... I wonder why?

Exactly how detailed do you need to get? Is there any specific amount of resources you're required to use?

I am suppose to find 5 resources. I have around 3 good sites and one book now. All of these are on CPalette and CRgn.

I am still a little unsure of how the display affects the color. Anything in that direction would be great. I will probably only dedicate one page to a breif overveiw of the subject and spend most of my time describing CPalette and CRgn.

The amount of detail is my choice, but the paper is suppose to be written so someone with little or no C++ or programming background could understand it.

Thanks Quadraton. The Code Project site will be a big help with this and future projects.

You don't know the number of times The Code Project has bailed my ass out of a big problem. I live and die by that site.
