    TextOut Problem !

    I want to display the fps for my app. heres part of my code:

    Code:
     case WM_PAINT:
     TextOut(hDC,1,1,fcount,lstrlen(fcount)); //fcount = int
    I cant make it 4 fields but i cant get the length of a int so what do you do for this ?

    Use sprintf to convert the int to a string
    Code:
    char buff[20];
    sprintf( buff, "%d", fcount );
    TextOut(hDC,1,1,buff,lstrlen(buff));

    Make sure that you include iostream.h

    You want to include <stdio.h> to use sprintf

    I suggest dont use Sprintf() use the atoi(); or itoa() for conversions.

    it has more options if you are using MSVC++...
    also look at _atio() and _itoa() in the MSDN library
