Beta 2b - Resizing the window makes a funny pattern.

The only

is that *while* you are dragging the resize box, you won't see it redraw. That's because my app doesn't get notified of window resizes until after you let go of the box. So I can't avoid this.

I can't speak for mick, but this *is* what I'm talking about and explains it. It amounts to a user perception issue, since users tend to be notoriously unconcerned about underlying technology limitations. They see and use applications where they don't have to wait until you release the window to see the application repaint. So something that doesn't work this way appears strange or worst case - defective, even though no defect is really present.

In this case, it wouldn't be so bad if it were simply a flat grey background, but in this case *something* (the window corner that is being dragged) is being repainted which leaves

tracks

on the window background.

As you say, once I release the button, the repaint occurs very quickly. I'm just expecting the repaint to happen at least at certain intervals during the resize, like maybe when the corner is being repainted.

I sent you an email saying how I've had to resort to doing something like this in the past using a little trickery, but that depended on me getting some sort of event to let me know I needed to redraw/repaint. Not much you can do if you don't have that.
