1. win32lib and child windows
Any reason why a simulated MDI interface using a parent window and
several child windows would cause the child windows to not redraw when
they get focus? The styles of the parent window are:
styles = {WS_THICKFRAME, WS_SYSMENU, WS_MINIMIZEBOX, WS_MAXIMIZEBOX}
ex_styles = {WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE}
The child styles are:
styles = {WS_CHILD, WS_BORDER, WS_THICKFRAME, WS_CAPTION, WS_SYSMENU,
WS_MINIMIZEBOX, WS_MAXIMIZEBOX}
ex_styles = {0}

Does adding WS_VISIBLE to the child style help?

Actually, now that you mention it, I've seen this too. In my case, only
some of the controls in the child window are not redrawn, and then only
when first displayed. To get around this, I did an explicit
refreshWindow(mychildwin) call in the w32HActivate handler.
Can you send me the smallest example code that demostrates the effect you
have? --

WS_CLIBSIBLINGS works. This is what I did...
=A0
In the CreateChildWindow() routine, I replace the Window creation call =
with
this...
=A0
new_wnd[1] =3D createEx( Window, title, parent_hwnd, Default, Default, =
320,
240, or_bits(WS_CHILD,WS_CLIPSIBLINGS),
{0} )
=A0
All the other bits you had are the default ones anyhow.
=A0
And now it looks great. I like how you are doing this. --
