that's interesting. I thought about double-buffering, but never tried anything. the window DC *should* contains its own widgets (at least, that's how SaveBMP works). but maybe there's something going on in the message queue that screw things up, I don't know. > In NEM_WindowMsgLoop, [...] wait, wait. are you sure that NEM_WindowMsgLoop is the correct place? the current code base is a little (ok, a *big*) mess because I was trying to make the old- and new-event-model to coexist, so maybe NEM_WindowMsgLoop never gets hit. if you open GUI.h, you'll see there are two lines at the beginning: // #define PERLWIN32GUI_DEBUG // #define PERLWIN32GUI_STRONGDEBUG uncomment these and rebuild the module. everything will be veeeeeery slow, but in the console you will see every single thing that's happening (and which message loop is spinning). BTW, if you want to send me your code, I can take a look at it and help you with debugging. > This is my first try at some win32 programming in C / C++ (I'm used to > console or unix stuff) so cut me some slack while I get used to it :) you're really, really welcome :-) cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;
