Hi guys,I have been developing c gauges for about a year now and have recently decided to broaden my horizons. I have tried to do some research into gdi+ gauges, however i dont really know where to start. Does anyone know of any good tutorials or sample code that i can work through and basically set me on my way?many thanks :)

Arne published a radar gauge awhile back that is a good example of one way to setup GDI+ in FS. It's called "trafficradar", and you should be able to find it in all the usual places.The best reference besides the API docs on MSDN2 is a book "Graphics Programming with GDI+", but all the examples are in C#, so you will have to "translate" to C++. This is not hard if you simple look up stuff in the API docs.Be warned that it is not a trivial thing, especially if you are doing a multi-gauge and wish to properly encapsulate stuff. It requires an advanced understanding of both the FSAPI, and C++, but there are many here who have gone down this road and could help you.

After having a look round in the files part of this site i found the gauge you were talking about. It has all the bits i need to start working through to find out what does what! Thanks for the pointer. now let the games begin.....

Could you tell me where did you find it? I cannotThanks

If you go to the file library at the top of the page.once there search "gdi+".This will bring up two results. You want to download the fs2k2sdkwithgdi+ file, this has all the documentation that you will need.

I found it.Thankk you
