Advanced Question Help on making a pop window like for RMS arm

[DaveS]

Thanks. That fixed that. But it looks like some icons or bitmaps not loading.

Don't worry about that. After doing some checks, the custom icons should show in Orbiter.

thanks. Now I got another animation issue. From the start.
The arm will yaw right but no left. If you yaw right then you can yaw left but not from the start

if (SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_SHOULDER_YAWRIGHT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->CENTERARM1_proc = min(1.0, sts->CENTERARM1_proc + (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_CENTERARM1, sts->CENTERARM1_proc);
			}
			else if (SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_SHOULDER_YAWLEFT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->CENTERARM1_proc = max(0.0, sts->CENTERARM1_proc - (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_CENTERARM1, sts->CENTERARM1_proc);
			}

anim_CENTERARM1 = CreateAnimation(0.0);
	CENTERARM1_proc = 0;

In my code the arm to rotate if the Proc when to 1 it was 0 so you could keep rotating. Not sure how to do it with this

OK. I guess I need to redo the mesh animation. So that proc.5 is the middle. I hate that I can do it outside the dialogue box but not in it.

Another issue. I started modified the design of the box. But can't get the icon not to show:

GROUPBOX "Claw",IDC_STATIC,4,2,102,30
PUSHBUTTON "Open",IDC_WRIST_YAWLEFT,7,13,40,14
PUSHBUTTON "Close",IDC_WRIST_YAWRIGHT,66,15,36,14
GROUPBOX "Wrist",IDC_STATIC,2,35,101,45
PUSHBUTTON "Button1",IDC_WRIST_ROLLRIGHT,23,52,16,14,BS_ICON

I have it set so no icon for that open and close.

if (SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_SHOULDER_YAWRIGHT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) [B][COLOR="Red"]&[/COLOR][/B] BST_PUSHED)

What type is BST_PUSHED? Are you sure you need a bitwise AND operator here? It doesn't seem to make much sense...
Intuitively, from what code I see, I would assume that BST_PUSHED is of type BOOL, and that you should use && instead... But I can't really tell anything definite from the code presented.

I finally got it. Working on another one. But can't figure how to change the size of text?

Ran across this issue. I know animation state goes from (0-1). So if I want a wrap around animation I do something like if animation proc>1 then it is 0 and if animation proc<0 then it is 1.
So for a 360 degree animation it would continue to rotate.

BUT in the dialogue box code how to do add that statement?

		else if (SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_JOINT2UP, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->JOINT2_proc = max(0.0, sts->JOINT2_proc - (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2, sts->JOINT2_proc);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2A, sts->JOINT2_proc);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2B, sts->JOINT2_proc);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2C, sts->JOINT2_proc);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2D, sts->JOINT2_proc);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2E, sts->JOINT2_proc);

			}
			else if (SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_JOINT2DOWN, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->JOINT2_proc = min(1.0, sts->JOINT2_proc + (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2, sts->JOINT2_proc);
				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_JOINT2A, sts->JOINT2_proc);
