- For my final year degree project I am currently trying to write a paint box
- application that will allow multiple users to edit the same drawing across a
- network.
-
- I am not very familiar with C++ and am trying to learn it as I go along. I am
- an engineering student not a computing student and there are not C++
- specialists with windows programming experience in my department. So I need
- all the help I can get.
-
- I have source code for a paintbox application which I am trying to modify. As
- a start I am trying to setup two PC's with a serial link for demo purposes. I
- think I have written a class that will write data to the serial port (It
- compiles but I don't know if it works yet !). I seem to be having trouble
- reading data from one class member function to another.
-
- Each drawing stroke with the mouse is stored as an array of coordinates which
- are joined. I want to send these coordinates to another machine via a serial
- link and rebuild the drawing stroke on that machine as the user draws the
- stroke. Has anyone any ideas? is this the best way to go about it? someone
- mentioned OLE to me but I don't know too much about this.
-
- Any help would be gratefully received
