wrong size ellipse

nothing to see here, moved to c++ forum

Your passing the whole client area (client rect) to the DrawNextFrame() section then creating an elipse that size.

Try creating the elipse a smaller size ie multiply the width/height of the rect by a set amount eg 0.10 for 1 bal 10% the size of teh client area.

PS If you create a GDI object (brushes in this case) then you MUST delete them.

You can not delete them while selected into a DC. (some can be deleted while selected int a DC ie regions but best bet is to follow this rule and not get into trouble)

//create GDI memory
hbrFill = CreateSolidBrush(0);// null == 0 == BLACK
//select in
hOldGDI=(HBRUSH)SelectObject(hdc,hbrFill);
//draw
Elipse(Bla...................);
//select out
SelectObject(hdc,hOldGDI);
//clean up GDI memory
DeleteObject(hbrFill);

PS
pen = CreatePen(50,50,RGB(25,0,255));

why do you not use the hash defined values as per the help ?

Like
PS_SOLID

in case MS decides to change the number in winGDI.h

50 is WIDE for a brush, to draw a line I use 1-6 or so.

and for ease
#define BLUE RGB(0,0,255)
