If I use the default map mode (MM_TEXT) the application works on all versions of Windows OK. If I use some other map mode (MM_HIMETRIC) the application works on US Windows only. On German, Czech and other European versions the graphics are not visible. I read somewhere that the European Windows have opposite axis orientation if using other than default map mode. <br /> Could you please help me to resolve this problem to make the application portable on all versions of Windows.<br /> Thank you for your time and help.<br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/graphics/411118/411118/windows-coordinate-system-different-in-us-and-european-versions-/ Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:05:41 -0700 Computer Graphics
