OK, please look at CVS (just updated).

I am using the gdkwindow and I draw everything on a pixmap then I do a gdk_draw_pixmap(pixmap,gc,widget^.window,x,y,x,y,w,h);

That should work, but it doesn't

PLEASE, someone will be looking at it the rest of the day.

Please give me some ideas. The code is basically in 3 procedures in GTKINT.PP

ExposeEvent, ConfigureEvent and DrawFillRect.

DrawFillRect is called by Graphics.pp which in turn is called by mail.pp whenever the form redraws.

Any ideas would be helpful.

This is what I found.
If you got the GC, you may start drawing using functions like gdk_draw_line, etc. as defined in gdk.h, especially in gdkdraw.c.

I think the GC object has also properties like font, line style, fill style, etc., much like windows. Functions for setting these are found in gdkgc.c.

I haven't tested this but this might provide a clue.

Also, the GtkDrawable window is a GdkWindow with some attributes set. I think there is a macro of some sort that checks this.

So much I have learned,

Regards,

Mike

Anyone have any detail on how I would go about writing to the canvas or

drawing area of a gtkwidget without using the drawingarea widget?

I know I can get a gdkwindow from doing fWindow := PgdkWindow(pgtkwidget(widget)^.window); but what do I do with that window? I can get it's gdkgc but I don't have

ANY idea what to do.

Is the gtk engine throwing any errors?

Also you might try to block the fixed widget and see if it might be covering something up.
