I haven't tested this, but you should be able to break this up into a two-part process. First, build a tile with the correct dot pattern. The size of the tile will depend on the spacing of the dots the user selects. But you should ensure that the tile is fairly large; at least 20x20. Then fill the window with that tile pattern using BitBlt. Something like (entirely untested): -- fill the window with the given tile pattern for y = 0 to winY by tileWidth do for x = 0 to to winX by tileWidth do bitBlt( window, tile, winX, winY ) end for end for You might be able to use PatBlt, although I *think* brushes are limited to 32 pixels in size, so this would only work in special cases. -- David Cuny
