I am just learning to program in windows and am having trouble getting windows not to erase the background to black before reploting icons in a 7x7 grid i have. I have tried setbkmode (transparent) and setting hbackgnd to null for the window class of the grid window. neither of these seem to work! What am i doing wrong!?
