TITLE : Fix for BCWDEMO Line Drawing Example




BCWDEMO does not draw lines appropriately if drawn from lower
right to upper left. The below replacement code fixes the
problem.

Basically, the code ordering must be changed and a new
conditional statement substituted for the old. Below code --
replacement function -- fixes the line drawing problem.

/****************************************************************
* function DoLButtonUp
* When the left mouse button is released, this routine
* allows other windows to receive mouse messages and saves
* the position of the mouse as the other corner of a bounding
* rectangle for the shape.
***************************************************************/

void DoLButtonUp(HWND hWnd, LONG lParam)
{
ReleaseCapture();

/*
* if the origin of the line has changed, it should be drawn
* from upper right to lower left and therefore has negative
* slope. Otherwise it will have positive slope.
*/

if (CurrentShape == LINE)
thisShape[CurrentPoint].Slope =
(thisShape[CurrentPoint].Points.left < LOWORD(lParam) &&
thisShape[CurrentPoint].Points.top < HIWORD(lParam)) ||
(thisShape[CurrentPoint].Points.left > LOWORD(lParam) &&
thisShape[CurrentPoint].Points.top > HIWORD(lParam))
? 1 : -1;
