I'll go ahead an add the example to the Wiki (as soon as I figure out how) BTW, I just created a new project on sourceforge for my Win32::GUI::Skin module. It's currently pending approval.

Very nice. There's plenty of alternatives for displaying the image (e.g. drawing it directly into the DC), but this shows all the important steps. I have a policy (open for discussion, of course) of not distributing samples that require modules not distributed with ActiveState Perl or Win32::GUI itself, as I think the samples we distribute should run 'out of the box'. This is, however, exactly the sort of sample that I'd like to see on the Wiki - http://perl-win32-gui.sourceforge.net/wiki/ Regards, Rob. --- avast! Antivirus: Inbound message clean.
