I tried some basic drawing on Win28K, and even something as simple as
form.drawRectangle(50, 50, 100, 100, penWidth=3) doesn't work correctly. It
turns out that under Windows, drawing on the form draws on the form itself,
i.e., on the background *below* everything. If you think of the objects on a
form being layered on the z-axis, there is the form, followed by the base
panel, followed by controls - and the drawing occurs on the form, behind the
base panel.
So this is not a problem for the inspector; it's a problem for
low-level drawing on Windows, period. If that's fixed, the inspector will work
correctly. I've looked at the code in the wx inspection tool, and it shows that
they handle Mac drawing separately; for Win and Gtk, they use a ScreenDC in
order to have the drawings appear on top. I'll have to look into adapting this
strategy for Dabo drawing.
