1. Help on Win32lib
Euphorians:
Me again to request help.
I'm trying to dive the deep waters of Win32 programming, and thanksfully to
David's Cluny Win32Lib and Francis Bussiere wrapper, I've been able to
write some nice (but useless) win applicoids.
At this time I'm focusing the Win version of my termometer application.
What I need to do (and I unable to) is to draw a kind of pane with a big
text inside (the temperature). I cannot use the standard "textedit"
controls, since the user can edit them.
I should be able to change the background of the pane (to give a visual
feedback when temperature goes out of range), and obviously, to change the
text (the temperature) to reflect changes in the device. Everything in a
fixed window that the user should not change, move or even close.
I've seen xTextOutA in the libraries, but I have not enough expertise to
even try to implement it as an extension of the above mentioned wrappers.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not that advanced, but it seems
you could use either a onChange/onFocus routine to return the text if
a user altered it, or Use a single Line listbox and EraseItems
before adding the temp back.
