Yes, I thought about this, but its a bit more work for me as I have to go through all the other bars and make sure they do not have a soon-to-be-invalid handle to the changed bitmap. Also, the check on date would only be made when a new bar or menu actually tried to access the file by name (but the same problem happens with the nocache option). I agree the nocache option is inelegant so I guess I will bite the bullet and do the extra work to make the filetime version work at least. Of course, the watchfolder approach is the prettiest since if I implemented it then the bmp would update automatically without any need for something like a setbackground call to signal that a file date has to be checked. But I'll probably go with the filetime stuff to keep my life simple. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
