_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage - image disappears after minimizing window and restoring

[abberration]

Hello, everyone!

I haven't played with GDI+ functionality very much, but I have managed to insert some graphics into a script I'm writing. I noticed that when I move the Gui where the graphic is off screen or minimize and restore it, the image disappears (_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage). The help file example for that function does the same thing, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong.

I have tried some workarounds such as starting a timer in the Case and every 2 seconds, redraw the image. However, _Timer_Diff runs continuously and the image gets redrawn way too much. I thought about detecting a minimize and restore and only redrawing it then, but I can't think of a way of detecting if someone moves the graphic off screen (well, I can but it would be lengthy).

This isn't crucial for the program to work, so if it is a difficult solution, I just won't worry about it. Just wondering if anyone has any quick fixes.

Thanks for any advice!

You have to redraw on GUI restore and additionally on GUI erase (WM_ERASE or WM_PAINT). Search for it and you should find many examples.

Thank you, UEZ. I am searching for those right now...

Cheers!
