glad to hear it! > However, Mac has these really juicy backgrounds like the alternating > grey/silver stripes, I've noticed this, and have had issues with another app as well. We never solved it there, actually. WE used to blit the background from the clientDC after clearing, but the Mac no longer allows that, and you're right, if you draw nothing, it doesn't properly clear the background. I think what's missing is a call to the Mac Window system telling it to clear the Window and restore the nifty background -- I'm pretty sure ClientDC.Clear() ( or PaintDC.Clear() ) will only paint the background color, of, if that is none or transparent, it doesn't do anything. > In case it helps with a better fix, here's how I've worked around this > in my code: thanks -- but that sure does seem kludgy! What I think we should do here is come up with a small FloatCanvas and Dabo free example that shows the issue, and post that to the wxPython list. And/or the wx-dev list -- the other app I have this issue with is pure C++. It would be great if you could do that, but if you don't' I"ll try to get to it. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ FloatCanvas mailing list FloatCanvas@mithis.com http://mail.mithis.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas
