LDoubleBuffer::End

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LDoubleBuffer::End(hDC)

Displays the double buffered paint operations.

Returns

Comments

Use LDoubleBuffer::End when ready to paint all that has been double-buffered to the target hDC. All double buffered paint operations should be wrapped in LDoubleBuffer::Begin and LDoubleBuffer::End calls.

The hDC argument is the device context that you want to double buffer, which in this case should be the same as the hDC argument that was passed to LDoubleBuffer::Begin.

Note that you must create a double buffer handle with LDoubleBuffer::CreateHandle before calling this function.

For more information, see the topic Minimizing Flicker with Double Buffering.

Example

This sample illustrates double buffering by bouncing a ball around

a window that contains an image

For simplicity, we assume both the window the hDC are 24 bit

Run the example twice --

* once with bDoubleBuffer set to FALSE

* once with bDoubleBuffer set to TRUE

to see the difference

hWnd -- window to paint image and bounce ball

pszFile -- file name of image to load

bDoubleBuffer - flag saying whether or not to double buffer the paints#define BALL_RADIUS 30
