James,
Just out of curiosity, if you flip the windows asynchronous window
attribute to be on, does the timer still not fire until you let go of
the mouse??
This code should make window events fire (and timers and threads
within the window) continue to fire even with the mouse down. I'm not
sure if the windows execution is interrupted still a control receives
the event, but if the window receives the event (click, drag,
whatever) then I can verify that this works fine from within RB 5.5.5
and up.
Cheers,
Tom Benson

call ChangeWindowAttributes(w, 8388608, 0) //asynchronous on
else
call ChangeWindowAttributes(w, 0, 8388608) //asynchronous off
end
End If

Is there a trick to get container controls to correctly clip the

Hello Chris!
Are you telling me this is still broken with the more recent
versions of RB? I've been digging around for my checkbook the last
few days to finally update my RB5 to 07 and was hoping that might
be fixed.
My version of RB5 doesn't have the container control, but if you
put controls on a canvas and scroll them off the edge the same
thing happens.
What I've done is to create a timer with a very short time interval
in the window and in the scroll bar's changed event I set the timer
to mode 1. It fires as soon as you let go of the mouse and just
does a refresh of the window which makes the parts that are peaking
through go away. It's messy but ends up with the window looking
properly after a flash of seeing the peaky controls. Can you tap
the scroll methods for a container as well?
Good Luck!
James
