Hmmm, and it the one that seems to work best, although if the background changes the form doesn't reflect this. Does anyone know how to grab what is under a form as a bitmap? Currently I'm capturing the area under the form before it shows, and setting this as the background of the form, then showing it. I guess I could hide the form, capture the background and show it again, but this would introduce flickering - can anyone think of anything better?
