Gdiplus refresh issue

[matrix200]

Well I was not able to find any mention of that in the forum.

Forgive me if I missed.

Anyway all gdiplus examples in the help files lack a very important thing.

Since gdiplus functions drawn stuff is not being repainted on WM_PAINT event I think it could be useful to add an

appropriate GuiRegister handler to have them refreshed.

I was trying various examples and couldn't figure out why things would dissappear after I minimized and restored the window.

i dod the task with GUIRegisterMsg($WM_ACTIVATEAPP, "APPACTIVATE")

So what exactly is stopping you from registering a WM_PAINT handler?

[matrix200]

Nothing stops me from doing that.

I am just pointing out that the code examples that come with Autoit are "buggy" and it would be a better idea to have a WM_PAINT handler included in the example scripts.

And arcker how come you use $WM_ACTIVATEAPP?

If I understand right this event would be fired when the window becomes active.

I think this is a problem since you might have another application blocking partly or fully your window and then your window would remain inactive and you might end up with "damaged" window content.

Not "buggy", just the wm_paint wasn't implimented in the examples. There is nothing wrong with the examples they show exactly what they are supposed to show.
