1. I need the last (...?) clue...
Having almost finished the porting of my Termometer Program to Windows, I've
run into trouble again...
Although the latest enhancements of Win32lib allow to flood the background
of a window with a plain color, when writing text, it gets boxed on a whithe
rectangle on top of the window background....
Any ideas?.

Yes, I've seen the problem. That and the fixing the combo boxes are high =
priority items for this weekend. Here's the blurb from the Win32 help =
file:
"Text and Background Color
Applications can use the SetTextColor function to set the color of text =
drawn in the client-area of their windows, as well as the color of text =
drawn on a color printer. An application can use the SetBkColor function =
to set the color that appears behind each character and the SetBkMode =
function to specify how Windows should blend the selected background =
color with the current color or colors on the video display.=20
The default text color for a display device context is black; the =
default background color is white; and the default background mode is =
OPAQUE. An application can retrieve the current text color for a device =
context by calling the GetTextColor function. An application can =
retrieve the current background color for a device context by calling =
the GetBkColor function and the current background mode by calling the =
GetBkMode function. "
You can call SetBkColor with to SetBackColor( iWin, iRGB ). Jeff had =
sent me some code that I've tried this out on. The title text for the =
SLE changes when you set the background color, but not the text on the =
Frames. I'm not sure what attributes the SLE has that the Frame doesn't. =
I'll have to play with it some more.
Sorry I don't have an immediate fix.
