GapiDraw - your number one choice for high performance Windows Mobile graphics, was today updated to version 3.8!

GapiDraw 3.8 features some new things such as automatically creating a tray icon if the application should be minimized due to an incoming phone call to simplify for the user to easily return to the application. Thanks to user feedback GapiDraw 3.8 now also behaves much better when incoming phone calls are received, and GapiDraw 3.8 also fixes a display issue with the HP iPAQ rx5700 device. Finally, GapiDraw 3.8 features a new startup banner to encourage non-commercial projects of using GapiDraw for free.

The new startup banner for the evaluation version looks like:
|Powered by GapiDraw 3.8
|www.gapidraw.com

GapiDraw 3.8 can be downloaded as an evaluation version from http://www.gapidraw.com and is free of charge for non-commercial uses.
Licensed customers can use their current site login to download the updated version.

Ok glad to hear you solved it!

I have been busy with GapiDraw 3.8 the past days and did not have time to look into it before you resolved it yourself!

We're in the process of getting a Mobile2Market signature - is there anything in EDGELIB that uses trusted APIs?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms924486.aspx

If not, we can go with a normal (unprivileged) certificate. I would imagine that EDGELIB does not use any of those functions, but I'd just like to check up with you guys first.

I figured out my problem. It turns out that I was using the wrong point on my rotating objects to determine the radius around which they needed to travel. Once I picked the center of the object as the point of reference everything worked fine.

Hardcore RPG players should really give this game a try. If you're into the lighter realm (ie: games like Arvale) you might not enjoy it as much, because it's quite challenging. However, it's a fun game and a rather unique experience amongst PocketPC RPG games. I will be posting a full length review at http://www.myworldofhandhelds.com/ once I've had a chance to play it some more. You can download a demo that lets you play through the first three levels, so there's no reason not to give it a try.

Hi Gar,

Unfortunately, you can't parse your example file with the XML-RPC class. You need to use ClassEXml, more information is available here: http://www.edgelib.com/index.php?node=1208

A more advanced XML class is planned for the upcoming EDGELIB release, this new class is able to store xml nodes (like ClassEXmlRpc).

I understand the sample xml-rpc, since the xml file is regular. If I got the file as following, how can I get the value of model, name, and so on?
Thanks.

GapiDraw :: Rotating objects around each other

I'm sorry to ask such a basic question, and I realize this isn't really even GapiDraw specific, but since I'm using GapiDraw I thought I'd bug you guys first. I have a simple problem where I have an object in the middle of my screen, and when I rotate that object I need several other objects around it to rotate as well. What should make this even easier is that the paths of the ancillary objects is circular. However, when I try to implement a routine to calculate the paths of these objects, they end up orbiting the main object in an elliptical fashion rather than a circular one. If anyone has any code snippets or can point me to a web site explaining the math for what I want to do, I'd very much appreciate it.
