Have some static variable to store the line previously print and do the TextOut ( yStart ) accordingly depending on the variable value.

 

Hey Vidya....

Here is the sample for TextOut....


Syntax for TextOut():

BOOL TextOut(HDC hdc,int nXStart,int nYStart,LPCTSTR lpString,int cbString);

Then put the following code in WndProc,

case WM_PAINT:
hdc = BeginPaint(hDlg, &ps);
TextOut(hdc, 0, 0, "Hello, Windows!", 15);
EndPaint(hDlg, &ps);
break;


That’s it…

 

A more appropriate example will be.

Code:

case WM_PAINT:
	{
		hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
		wchar_t* msg[3] = { L"vidhya", L"satindar",L"vinoth", };
		for( int i=0;i < 3; i++ ){
			TextOut(hdc, 0, 20*i,  msg[i], lstrlen( msg[i] ) ); 
		}

		EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
	}
	break;
