Mmmm -- I haven't run into that difficulty before so I can't be sure of the fix. But I would first try calling "InvalRect RECT" for the newly created window rectangle which should force a redraw of the whole window's content. >For testing I am just DrawString-ing the updated coord's and it >literally cuts the text and characters into pieces, leaving the old >numbers in the area not in need of update and putting the new >numbers or parts thereof into the updated part. > >If you can send me your routines I can probably figure out what else I >have to do.

No, I don't think that will matter at all in this instance. Best, Alan
