Hi Serge,

I found a midle of way to solve your problem (sorry, today I'm not so shining... :lol: )

But with this Guru example of Dr. Soto, I found something... look at this:

Code: Select all

* PROGRAMA: Demo ON PAINT event
* LENGUAJE: HMG
* FECHA:    Setiembre 2012
* AUTOR:    Dr. CLAUDIO SOTO
* PAIS:     URUGUAY
* E-MAIL:   srvet@adinet.com.uy
* BLOG:     http://srvet.blogspot.com

    nAlingText := BT_TEXT_CENTER + BT_TEXT_BASELINE

    BT_DrawText (hDC, Height/2, Width/2, "The Power of HMG", "Comic Sans MS", 42, YELLOW, BLACK, nTypeText, nAlingText)   
   
  BT_DeleteDC (BTstruct) 
do events
RETURN
Certainly you need to refresh all components, but seems to work in code in C help. Probably Dr. Soto could help to give right way in order to find solution without
gradient effects. I hope to be helpfull.

Dear Claudio, this same example, could it be background not in gradient mode ?

I am sking this, because would it be difficult to change components with grandient background and being solid mode will be easier.

Yes, only change:

Code: Select all

BT_DrawGradientFillHorizontal()  and  BT_DrawGradientFillVertical()
for:

Code: Select all

BT_DrawFillRectangle (hDC, 0, 0, Width, Height, ColorRGBFill)

With common window and solid background color remove the On Paint event and put BackColor property, it's more easy.
