Greetings :)
I've been using David Cuny's wonderful WIN32LIB to program Euphoria =
programs under the Windoze environment. After a few halting steps, I've =
managed to figure out how the basics of David's toolkit, but I have a =
question.
I know how to repaint an area of a program window when an overlaying =
window above is removed. However, there are some situations where I'd =
like to repaint that entire window instead of just the covered area, =
particularly if some status text must be printed on the covered window. =
I've found that if you
reprint a status line that was previously covered by the window, a =
change in that status line will only
show in the area previously covered, not the entire window.
I have example .JPGs of what I mean if clarification is required.
Thanks for any assistance offered.
David Gay

Use repaintWindow() to trigger that. It invalidates the entire window (so
you can paint any part you want), and then triggers a repaint.

Hi David. Good work on Win32Lib :)
Actually that was one of the things I did. I placed repaintWindow() inside
the onPaint[] procedure to be retriggered but ended up with a general
protection fault. It's possible that occured because I did an recursive call
to the procedure.
I'll experiment further with the placement of repaintWindow() and let you
know how it goes.
Once again, keep up the good work and keep adding things to Win32lib :)
