i have a code that creates buttons and graphics in the same block. before the block is _GDIPlus_Startup() $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($mainGUI) $hBrush = _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid(0xF03FC744) ; Felish Green colour $hPen = _GDIPlus_PenCreate(0xFFBFCC49); Granite colour $hPath = _GDIPlus_PathCreate() ;Create new path object $hFamily = _GDIPlus_FontFamilyCreate("Tahoma") ;Create font family object $tLayout = _GDIPlus_RectFCreate($startX, $startY, $bHeigh, $bWidth) ;Create string bounding rectangle X=0, Y=0 $hFormat = _GDIPlus_StringFormatCreate(0x0400); Allow overhanging rectangle _GDIPlus_StringFormatSetAlign($hFormat, 1); Align text horizontally _GDIPlus_StringFormatSetLineAlign($hFormat, 1) ; Align text Vertically ; Add String like CtrlLabels assign to rectangle and formats including Font _ _GDIPlus_PathAddString($hPath, FileReadLine($configF, $SN), $tLayout, $hFamily, 0, 26, $hFormat) _GDIPlus_GraphicsSetSmoothingMode($hGraphic, $GDIP_SMOOTHINGMODE_HIGHQUALITY) ;Sets the graphics object rendering quality (antialiasing) _GDIPlus_GraphicsFillPath($hGraphic, $hPath, $hBrush) ; Fill path to graphics handle (GUI) end of the block _GDIPlus_BrushDispose($hBrush) _GDIPlus_FontFamilyDispose($hFamily) _GDIPlus_StringFormatDispose($hFormat) _GDIPlus_PenDispose($hPen) _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() now this works on the first run but when i minimize and then restore _GDIPlus_ is gone and so are buttons. but if i create labels they stay. i've tried moving "Dispose" functions at the end of the loop but still the same result
