Is there a way to draw a line over a label? Mine keeps disappearing. I cannot seem to get the DC lines thing to work, even without a label...
Steve, I think you have a misunderstanding about how drawing works in windows. Windows doesn't remember anything about what you draw, and so every time it needs to re-draw a window it will have forgotten about what you drew previously. You need to draw during the window's WM_PAINT event which will be called by windows each time it need to redraw the window in question. Search the list archives for 'onPaint' and 'WM_PAINT' and you should find some examples of how to draw into a Win32::GUI::Window such that the drawing remains .... It's actually pretty difficult (maybe even impossible with the current Win32::GUI codebase) to draw on top of a label, whilst maintaining it's capabilities to draw the tet of your label. What is it that you are trying to represent on your UI? Perhaps we can suggest another way? Regards, Rob.
