• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

C++ -> Moving a String?

Is it possible to move a String? I want to display the vertical speed with a needle. And at the top of that needle should always be the exakt vertical speed as number.
I can display the text with the vertical speed. But how can I move the Position of the String? I tried it with Var's in the x and y Position. But he only takes the first value and does not move the Position even if the values of the Var's changes.
At that Moment i can only move images with MAKE_MOVING() or MAGE_SPRITE(), but Strings??? :confused:
 
Unfortunately, MAKE_STRING macro will not allow for dynamic updating of the x,y screen cordinates.

What you want to accomplish is only possible using either GDI or GDI+, as those methods allow us to dynamically update all the parameters when "drawing" a string on the DIBSECTION (memory "bitmap").
