I'm using Borland C++ 3.1 to create my app and here's the problem: I have this main window which contains about 20 children, with each child being a box containing a particular color. Up pops a dialog asking the user to respond to some questions and once this dialog disappears, I would like to update all of the children with their new colors (ie. force a WM_PAINT message). I thought all I had to do was Invalidate the parent window and call UpdateWindow, but this doesn't seem to work. I then tried Invalidating all of the children and calling UpdateWindow, but this didn't work either. Any ideas? James. umwaletz@ccu.umanitoba.ca
