as I just wrote in another mail, there should be no problem with fonts, because you create them explicitly. this means the same GDI object is used for all controls. only the brush is created "on-demand" for background. > Syntax of background color in Win32::GUI is little misleading (-background => > 0xffffff) as it suggests that it is simple attribute of a widget.

I thought it was "user friendlier" to automatically create a brush of the given color. it's just that I forgot to clean it up afterwards :-) maybe it would be a good idea to add a -backgroundbrush option, so you can pass a Win32::GUI::Brush object to it and the same GDI object will be used for all controls, as with fonts. cheers, Aldo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
