Yes yes yes. As was posted in the mail regarding the -noflicker option, as was written in the documentation for the noflicker option, and as was noted in the changelog for the noflicker option: IT BREAKS STUFF. If it didnt, it wouldnt be an option. I'm gratified to see that most of the stuff it's broken for you is nonstandard Win32::GUI stuff (I mean, not part of Win32::GUI itself but add-ons). I'm surprised that it breaks RichEdit, but not surprised that it breaks Graphics. The -noflicker option should be considered an alpha fix, something that I'm working on. You may be able to solve the problem you experience with disappearing richedit controls by calling InvalidateRect on them, or adding PRF_OWNED to the delivery of the WM_PRINT message in the CommonMsgLoops section of the GUI_MessageLoops.cpp file. Incidentally, the reason it breaks Graphics is because Graphics is just a DC, and thus is not "drawn" into a parent DC, but is stand-alone. WM_PRINT won't capture the contents of other DCs, it simply tells a widget to draw itself into the given DC, and one can't draw a DC into a DC. As far as RichEdit goes, I'm guessing it simply doesnt support WM_PRINT at all. It will require some looking into, and if all else fails making a compromise by just making the RichEdit and Graphics controls flicker like they used to. Steve

All the following controls resize correctly, but the contents aren't visible until the user interacts with the control (say moving a scroll bar). The contents of the control is windows grey. * Win32::GUI::Grid * Win32::GUI::Scintilla * RichEdit The following controls resize correctly, and the contents are correct but the control still flickers. * Win32::GUI::AxWindow * Graphic control I've had a look through the source - but didn't get anywhere. I can provide examples if needed. Other than the issues, a great option. Nice work. Cheers, jez.
