Autoredraw

(1/1)

aspi:
Hi!

I've just tried to draw a "persistent" line on a canvas: Form1.Canvas.Line(x1,y1,x2,y2)
The line appeared as expected, but if I move another window over it, the line is deleted where the   window was. So I activated the autoredraw property of the canvas: Form1.Canvas.AutoRedraw := True. At runtime I've checked it's state: autoredraw is true, but it doesn't work!?

Can anybody help me?

Vincent Snijders:
I don't know if the autoredraw property is supported.

What you can do is, use the OnPaint event and do the drawing there. I have succesfully created a test app, with a PiantBox where I did my drawing in the OnPaint event. You might want to try, if you can use the OnPaint event of the form.

HTH,
Vincent.

Thanks Vincent, your idea works fine. I've wrote a little manager that helps me in the 'OnPaint' event to know, what lines (or other objects) need to be drawn.

All right, up to the next messages...
