William,

You should report this bug on the MS page http://support.microsoft.com/support/webresponse/pid/selectpid.asp?WRPGMID=5 you may have to sign up for an MS Online ID to get there, they appear to have way broken PSet(). FWIW on my Win95b installation with a Venus AGP video system running at 1280x1024x64k I don't see any display of points until the DrawWidth is set to 2. You might try using: thisform.Line( lnXCoord, lnYCoord, lnXCoord+1, lnYCoord ) instead of PSet()

>I'm experimenting with lower-level graphics and Visual FoxPro 5.0a SVP3 (with Visual Studio Service Pack 3). I'm trying to manually, dynamically, draw shapes and animate them on a VFP form. I'm trying to use the form .Point() and .PSet() methods to accomplish this. My problem is that all of my .PSets are lost and the entire form is repainted uncontrollably. Oddly enough, I can delay the repaint only as long as I am feeding the Windows 95 I/O with mouse or keyboard events while a code loop is running (move the mouse continually while my .PSets are occuring in a loop).
