Saving and copying in MSVisual C++

[whodaman]

Hi, I just started using MS Visual C++ and i'm not too sure how to use the save functions. I have a variation of text, rectangles, and lines in an MDI (I think multiple documents something.) Well, the problem I have is in the save function call. I have the lines to write the codes... but I don't know how I can save or copy this graphic.

I'm guessing when I save, I would simply redraw everything I drew in the the original document. I'm really not too sure about this..

and as for the copying, would I be copying it into a BMP format? If so how would I do that too?

Thank you

I suppose you have an Document/View Application.

You should save your documents(data) through the Serialization method of your CDocument derived class.

For this:
- put all the data for your text, rectangles and lines (I mean strings, coordinates ...) as members of the CDocument derived class.
- in the OnDraw method of your CView derived class use for drawing ONLY this strings, coordinates ...

A very useful example for this is the Scribble tutorial which is included in the MFC Samples from the MSDN Samples.

Hope this helps,s-)
