Thanks.

Sounds good (and I usually like the Wrox style) - but Amazon have it listed here at the equivalent of about $320!<g>. I think I'll wait till they've sorted that out. In the meantime I might get this: 'Graphics Programming with GDI+' ,Mahesh Chand, Addison Wesley.

Cheers,
Viv

>>Thank you very much for your reply. I am glad to hear that you use Invalidate() and that you are familiar with drawing using GDI+. I just pulled out my GDI+ book from v1.0 and the author also uses Invalidate(). After your reply and the book text I feel comfortable using Invalidate().
