Hi all,

I have something strange and maybe someone can help me with it.

I'm working on the Geckocomponents. I have a component based on a TCustomWincontrol. This control encapsulates a (gecko)-browser, so you can use gecko to browse webpages within this control.

Now when this control is on a form and a website is loaded, you can see nothing. But when the form's size is changed (for example with the mouse) but the control's size doesn't change (ie: it doesn't use anchors/alCient) then the website is drawn.
Another way to trigger the painting of the website is to set a property of another control on the form. For example the caption of a label.

This is on gtk2, on Windows the website is immediately drawn. Any idea what can exactly trigger the embedded control to be drawn?

If you have access to the gtk2 window handle, you could search for a routine to require it to be redrawn.

Yes, I do have it. Does anyone know where to look for such a function?
