I still have problems conversing real to long. I use GetPos() to get the position of an object, then something like LONG posx = GetPos().x; I even tried LONG posx = SAFELONG( GetPos().x );
The result is the same: sometimes the values differ by 1! For example, the attribute manager says x position = 74, debug of vc says GetPos().x = 74.000....and posx = 73!
I thought that SAFELONG would fix that, but it doesnt. I really need to understand why that happens, the real mathematic reason, and how I can fix it, 1 pixel in our application is extremely important!
How does the attribute manager display the position? He always displays the correct position, somehow he also has to call GetPos()......
