> I haven't tried what you're doing myself, but have a look at setting the DoubleBuffered property of TWinControl descendants to True and see if that helps.
YES! This is it! It looks so BEAUTIFUL now, I was so proud I immediately showed it to the nearest person (my dad) :) Thanks everyone for your help! :) > You probably also want to be painting directly to the canvas of the form itself if you're not already. I'm not painting anything on the form, I'm painting it on the background Image. This way the drawing on the canvas is not lost when I place another window on top of mine > Dave may be right about using DirectX if you're really worried. I've read that link David O'Brien gave, and reading it I don't think DirectX would be that tough to learn, but I just don't need it right now. Perhaps when i manage to write a few "serious" games, and also have lots of time, I'll give it a try. C++ always scares me, and whenever I read "it will work in Delphi as well", i just know it WON'T work :) Gajo _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
