When I put up a dialog box, I save the portion of the screen used with my own copy routines, and when the dialog finishes, I copy the region back. Everything works fine except when the user moves the mouse at a later time, a small square the size of the mouse appears with the standard desktop background pattern. Is there anyway to avoid this, can I change the buffer used to hold what is underneath the mouse pointer background? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Mintha University of British Columbia Programming Assistant Geography Department e-mail: mintha@geog.ubc.ca Vancouver, B.C.
