We create a few custom 'windows' in our program and when VisualStyles are enabled we are able to find each element of the window and their size and paint them ourselves including the minimize and close buttons using the appropriate Renderers. We'd like to do that same thing when VisualStyles are disabled and currently draw our own windows but they're quite ugly. Is it possible in WinForms C# to draw the Windows Classic style windows? I've found the ClassicBorderDecorator but it's for WPF. Or, failing that, how can we get the pixel sizes of the window decorations which we do in the following

I have a JPanel that is meant to act as a HUD for my game, naturally, I have overridden the paint method to do my own custom display, this does get called, but only upon resizing or maximizing, minimizing the frame, and not when my game loop tells it to repaint(). It seems particularly strange to me on account of my two other panels being repainted completely fine. Here is my HUD class: package base; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Graphics; import javax.swing.BoxLayout; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class HUD extends JPanel { private Shiphud[] shiphuds; public HUD(Ship[] ships) {

I have a Java program that uses threads. In my run method, I have: public void run() { while(thread != null){ repaint(); System.out.println("hi"); try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { break; } } } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { // painting stuff } The problem is that the run method is executed, but the paintComponent section is not called. If this is not the right way to keep repainting the component, then how should I repaint it? Cal repaint from a Swing Timer . That will not block the GUI, and will happen at whatever interval specified in the timer. Of

I am writing a program that has a number of different views. One of which is fairly graphics intensive (it displays an interconnected graph). Others just display small but complex diagrams. I'm finding the paint time for the main view is quite long (even just painting the currently visible area) and while it is being painted, the rest of the interface becomes very slow. My question is this, can I create a new thread to handle the painting - and if so, will it result in a performance increase, my suspicion is that it wont. I have tried the following: creating an abstract classs

Is it possible to realize the following picture in Android with canvas? I want to have a hole and not only a Circle over the red layer which is yellow colored. I tried this (and failed) with the following Code in my onDraw() -Method: canvas.drawBitmap(yellow, 0, 0, paint); canvas.drawBitmap(red, 0, 200, paint); Paint p = new Paint(); p.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR)); canvas.drawCircle(300, 300, radius, p); But when I use this code, it makes a hole through both bitmap's. At the end, this App should be a Maze with a ball, holes and other stuff. When the ball would
