Eliminate flickering

[george++]

Hi,
I start playing with the TV3D SDK trial, and up until now this SDK is what I was looking for.
I have built my first framework with C++ but I am getting annoying flickering when rendering.
I render the window on:
1. mouse move event
2. size event

I paint the window like this:
MyWindow::OnPaint()
{
  // obtain a window DC
  pTV->Clear(false);
  pScene->RenderAll(true);
  pTV->RenderToScreen();
}

MyWindow::OnMouseMove()
{
  Refresh(); // generate a PAINT event
}

MyWindow::OnSize()
{
  Refresh(); // generate a PAINT event
}

Am i doing something wrong?
How I can eliminate this flickering?

You can download the application to see by your self:

Thanks in advance.

The only thing I can see is that you use the OnPaint Event, which is not very suitable for a 3D Engine Rendering. Normally you will create a render loop like you see in the samples that come with the engine version 6.3. Something like:

Code:

//Pseudocode
Loop
  //Process your windows messages here

  TV_Engine.Clear(false)
  TV_Scene.RenderAll(true)
  TV_Engine.RenderToScreen()
While bAppRunning == true

P.S. You should use the 6.5 forums if you use 6.5 in your project.

Thank you for your response. It is not necessary to keep your proposed program structure. Anyway I found a solution.

NOTE: Yes I am talking about TV3D 6.5. Thank you for the comment
