Hi Bob,
In the linked file, I use GDI+ to draw on the form.
http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/code/clock3/analogclock.cs
On my other PC running XP, I get a light blue background around the clock
from the above code. On windows 2000, I see the background of the destop or
other application that is there instead. Weird!
If you could compile the code above into an app and let me know what you see
on XP, I would be grateful.
I will have a look at your code that you attached to the other email later
to see how you use a bitmap to do shaped forms.
Cheers
Publicjoe
