Hi,
I have a windows application which draws some graphics on a canvas. When the
scroll bar is used to scroll, the canvas is repainted every PIXELS_PER_UNIT,
and the effect is very annoying. Instead I would like to have only one
repaint, when the user releases the mouse button (i.e. at teh end of the
scrolling).

I will appreciate any advice on how to do it (I could not find the answer
in the "XView Programming Manual").

Thanks,
