Glad we were able to help. Regarding DirectX and Delphi, I've read a number of articles including a series in The Delphi Magazine published in the UK, which covers how to use DirectX in Delphi extensively, so I would see no reason why one couldn't do DirectX manipulation in Delphi as well as in any other environment.

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 :) This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
