Hi!
Although the discussion about natural languages is very interesting, I'm =
coming with a trivial technical problem...
Does anybody know how to flood the background of a window with a fixed =
colour?.
(I mean under Windoze, obviously).
Thanks.

I think there is something in the Win32lib reguarding setting windows
background color, also, you could do like I did, and put a static
background bmp in that fills the whole window.

Thanks, Monty. Nice trick...

Monty:
I need a little more help.
I succeeded in painting a bitmap masking all the background of the window,
but...
=2E..when I write text, it goes always UNDER the bitmap...
(I see it flashing when I resize the window).
Don=B4t you have another trick for this?...
Thanks again.

Sorry...I don't It was just an idea. I think it will be fixed soon in the
library though...I think that all writing will soon be going to a bitmap.
Wish I could help.

Yes, setting the background color for the window in Win32Lib is a high =
priority for this weekend.

Mostly correct. I'm going to pull the persistant graphics and text out, =
and add an onPaint event. You will still be able to use the wPuts and =
wPrintf, but text (and graphics) will be erased when the window is =
refreshed, unless you have written them to a static bitmap.
