Angled Text Disappearing

[Anthony Emmerick]

I have just used the advice on “Print Text at An Angle” (Ask the Pro - VBPJ
January 1999). I get it to work very well but once the form loses focus,
the angled text disappears. I am using it on the “Switch” or menu form of
my MDI application. This form remains loaded and showing at all times while
the application is running. The angled text disappears when another form
is loaded and shown.

Any solution?

Set the Auto = true for the form, or draw it in the Paint event of the form.

Blasted spellchecker... that is supposed to be set AutoRedraw = True on your form.

Hi Anthony --

As with all custom painting, there are two ways to handle it. You can either set
AutoRedraw to True and Cls/Paint as the mood suits you, or you can repaint on every
Paint event. Your choice.

Later... Karl
