I need some help with a cross-platform issue I'm having. I have a
window, with a canvas that acts as a "tooltip" type floating
thingie. If the user mouses over a particular thing in an edit field
or listbox, it shows up with some more information about the word/etc
the mouse is over. What I used is a canvas attached to the window,
that is hidden and unhidden, moved around, and resized as necessary
to fit contents. In the paint event of the canvas, it draws the
background (a fillrect) and some text. It works fine on the mac. But
on the Windows builds, it's very spotty. I have a hard time
describing it. When over a listbox, it works maybe 75% well. Over a
text box, it maybe works 25%. Sometimes, you can actually see the
entire thing. But most of the time, it's either there for a
milisecond then gone, or it's corrupted, and/or its corrupting the
text in the editfield underneath it.
Do I need to refresh it in some way? Why does it work on the mac,
but not on Windows?
TIA,
Micah Bly
