well.. how about not drawing to the screen while the menu is up?
you can still do background processing.. like.. reading from radio
link etc.. just dont display the info until they close the menu.
the problem is that when the menu is brought up, it saves what was
behind it. when you close it, it restores the image that was behind
it.. if you change the form in the mean time, it doesn't care :)
why i use would bring up the menu and leave it open beats my mind.
if they do, you just handle the processing, and when the menu is
closed, send a frmUpdate event to your form.. so it can redraw.
you wont get the "draw underneath" it working.. (however, you can try)
