My IDE shows the pair of () {} [] at the caret: for example, if the character at the caret is (, shows ) with different background. For example, if I press Caret Down, when the caret is on the last visible line, scrolls 1 line with ScrollToPosition. This calls OnDraw, what repaint the whole visible area, but CScrollView uses only the last line form this: on the other part of the window, scrolls the original content. So, the caret moved, but the highlighting of the pair of the bracket remains: will be a lot of highlighted characters.
I tried to note the position, color, and the character, and write to the display before scrolling.
CPoint pos = GetDeviceScrollPosition();
if (bp) {
CDC *const pDC = GetWindowDC();
const auto oldfont = pDC->SelectObject(&font);
pDC->SetBkMode(OPAQUE);
pDC->SetBkColor(bpbkc);
pDC->SetTextColor(bpc);
pDC->TextOutW(bpx - pos.x, bpy - pos.y, &bp, 1);
pDC->SelectObject(oldfont);
ReleaseDC(pDC);
}
This works, but does required? Can I disable the optimisation? Only when I overwrite before OnDraw (before OnDraw, on inside OnDraw, using GetWindowDC instead of the parameter of OnDraw) ?
In my opinion, when you want to modify something in your view, you should call InvalidateRect or InvalidateRgn for all of changed areas, store the new data, and let the OnPaint or OnDraw handlers to draw the new image using the current data. This will also work when you, for example, minimise and restore the window, which requires repainting too.
You do not have to draw new characters explicitly. Try calling InvalidateRect two times: for un-highlighted and highlighted characters. Perform the drawing inside the OnDraw only using the supplied pDC.
