CClockCtrl v1.05 An MFC class to display an analog clock

CClockCtrl is an MFC widget which renders an analog clock. The class is based in part on the class of the same name from the book "MFC Programming with Visual C++ 6.0". The class is derived from CStatic and a number of public methods allow customisation of its look.

The enclosed zip file contains the CClockCtrl source code and also includes a VC 6 workspace file to build a small demonstration app.

Updates

v1.0 (3 February 2000)

• Initial public release.

V1.01 (16 February 2000)

• Removed noticeable flicker which sometimes occurred when the seconds hand moved.

V1.02 (27 July 2001)

• Fixed a drawing glitch which left the old hour hand being displayed every 12 minutes
• Made most of the functions virtual to allow easier customisation.
• Sample app now can be dragged via left mouse button.
• Sample app now includes always on top functionality.
• Sample app now includes transparent window support (Windows 2000 and later only). Specific build configurations are included for this. Please note that you will need the platform SDK installed now to compile these specific configurations.
• Sample app now provides a context menu.
• A new icon as been provided for the sample app.
• Got rid of MFC document / View code in sample as it was not needed.

V1.03 (1 August 2001)

• Second hand can now be updated with sub second precision with the "SetSubSecondPrecision" method.
• Please remember that the included exe will only work on Win2k as it used some of the new window layering API's. To get the sample app to work on Win9x or NT 4, recompile the code using one of the non Win2k build configurations.

V1.04 (11 August 2001)

• Removed Win2k Build configurations and instead put in code into sample app to at runtime, detect if the OS provides transparency support. This means that the exe in the distribution will run on any Win32 OS without the need to recompile.

V1.05 (23 March 2002)

• Updated Copyright details.
• Fixed a bug where PreSubclassWindow was not calling RecalcLayout before a redraw was occurring.
