• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

CDU app

Hi,

I am developing a small C++ app that uses the PMDG NGX SDK
to get the CDU data and display it to a sizeable window to better align the text to a specific hardware CDU.


I want a window type as in (the 2D CDU (left) and 2D CDU (right)) when it is undocked, but
just with the CDU info without the CDU image.

Here is image of the window:View attachment 26899

CDU.jpg

I have manage to retrieve the data in my C++ code, but I am uncertain about how to make the window and display the text. The window should have no borders, just the plain window with the data as seen in the image.

What type of C++ coding should I use?

rendering the data(text) by using Direct2D coding or some other technics?


Any info about this would be very helpful a lot of cockpit builders.
