Hi,
I have a gadget, basically a simple rectangle frame with some text in it.
The reason its a gadget is so I know when someone taps on it. What I want to
do is setup my gadget with its text inside it. Then if a certain state
occurs, I want to display some text new text over the top of the old text,
but when I click on my gadget, I want the old text to come back and the
overlayed stuff to disappear.
The Problem:
I setup my gadget and fill it with text. Easy enough.
But then I need to put my new text over the top in such a way that I can
revert to the previous text without having to redraw it in the gadget. When
I say without redrawing it, I mean not using WinDrawChars etc, I can handle
an update gadget event though.
Therefore what I think i need is some sort of rectangle with text that can
be placed on top of the gadget, but when removed the previous gadget text
(and graphics) is still there.
Effectivly I am trying to create the same effect as a save behind form, but
without having another form as I need my main forms event handler to be
active.
Anyone know how I can do this ??
Thanks
Rik
