I have a window that contains a Win32::GUI::Graphic. I get the DC of the Grpahic and then draw lines in it every second like a real time graph. The problem is that whenever the window is minimized or another window moves over it, the lines are lost. What am I missing here? Here is a simple example:
#!c:\perl58\bin\perl -w use Win32::GUI; $Win = new Win32::GUI::Window(-name=>"TestWindow",-text=>"Test",-left=>100,-top=>100,-width=>800,-height=>300,); $Win->AddLabel(-name=>"backlabel1",-left=>18,-top=>18,-width=>764,-height=>104,-sunken=>1); $Win->AddGraphic(-name=>"graphic1",-left=>20,-top=>20,-width=>760,-height=>100); $Win->AddButton(-name=>"button1",-text=>"Test",-left=>20,-top=>130); my $dc1 = $Win->{graphic1}->GetDC(); my $curx = 0; my @points = split(/,/,<DATA>); $Win->Show(); Win32::GUI::Dialog(); sub Window_Terminate { return -1; } sub button1_Click { for my $point(@points) { $dc1->LineTo($curx,$point); $curx += 4; } $dc1->MoveTo(0,0); $curx = 0; return; } __DATA__ 10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50,10,50,20,30,60,80,5,90,35,55,20,50,30,70,2,65,34,73,50 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
