Ok, I'm ready to build my own custom popupmenu and have a few questions.

First, everyone says "use a canvas". Ok, no problem, i make a right and left 
side tiff and a central "expandable" section tiff.

I think I am supposed to create a new class, set super to popupmenu and in the 
paint event, tell the canvas to draw in the tiffs in the right locations. Am I 
doing OK so far? Now, If I do this, I and up with empty canvasses on my window 
builders which makes it a bit hard to see how the design is going. Am I missing 
something or is this just the way it is?

A bit unrelated - is there a blog out there with this kind of simple stuff for 
people like me who want to design an app as far as possible without knowing any 
"real" programming (though thanks to lots of people here, I'm getting a feel 
for some things)?
