Hi all,
I know I am no licensed and use the free home edition for developping. Maybe this forum is more a support for people holding a full membership (which d be fair), but I would be more than gratefull if someone could help me with this issue on writing GUI plugin with winapi.
Few weeks ago, I ve been having troubles getting a tab control changing between tabs. So I went for overlayed listboxes and radiobuttons that get those listboxes visible/hidden. But just realised that the problem lies in the fact that the GUI never repaint after the plugin is started, even if I explicitly call a Updatewindow...
Maybe I am missing something on managing the Winproc (although I get all the messages sent by the GUI, e.g. when clicking on radiobuttons etc...).
Please if someone has experienced the same situation please , your help would be really great.
Cheers,
Alou

Never had any problem with redrawing GUI elements myself, probably going to be easiest if we can see your code.
