Drawing a grid on a plain rectangle

[kamikazeecows]

I am trying to draw a grid onto a plain rectangle, and am finding this quite difficult to do so..

basically i have a RECT structure which draws a rectangle using the function SetRect. eg

SetRect(&r,1,1,400,400)

paints a Rectangle in the WM_PAINT when created.

I was thinking of drawing loads of mini rectangles inside this but am having trouble doing so....

can anyone suggest an easier way or hint as to whether im going about this the correct way??

Hey man, i dunno if this is the correct way but its easier, i aint on my comp with my programming stuff now so heres a small example you should be able to recode it for your needs.

int a, i = 0;

//vertical grid lines
for(a = 0; a < 40; a+=10)
{
MoveToEx(hdc, a, 1, NULL);
LineTo(hdc, a, 400);
}


//horizontal grid lines
for(a = 0; a < 40; a+=10)
{
MoveToEx(hdc, 1, a, NULL);
LineTo(hdc, 400, a);
}

As i say check up on those params im very tired right now. But you can see that what its doing is just repeating line drawing across your rectangle to form a grid.

Hope thats of some help,
