Translucency redraw issues

Hi all.

I have just added translucency to one of my applications using the
layered windows API, but I have come across a redraw problem.

Unfortunately, I cant reproduce this in a standalone app but I'll try
and explain what's happening.

When a form is obscured when it is resized or made "visible" (I show
some other forms on restore), it seems to remember that visibility
state. When it is then unobscured, it fails to redraw most of the window
leaving it black (but translucent black :)

Covering and uncovering this window makes no difference, and I can only
seem to force a redraw by manually calling refresh on EVERY object on
the form. Any control that is explicitly redrawn (gets focus, mouseover)
also appears correctly.

This happens regardless of the actual alpha level set.

Has anyone seen this before or even better, have a solution?

Thanks

Hi all! I've made a simple control derived from a panel class which draws gradient in a overrided OnPaintBackground event. Well, I know that I need to redraw control when it's resized by overriding OnResize event, but how would I know when to redraw if, let's say, user drags some form over it or some other action that messes display of this control. I'm stuck here ... what to do?

I try to understand what could be the source of a problem with displaying and hiding rows of tables using display:block/none. I've read selfhtml but could not find any hint about that. Any pointers why that can happen, or how I should take care of that type of problem/effect are highly appreciated. The problem... A couple times the hiding/displaying works, but _occasionally_ the entries are hidden but _blank lines appear_, instead.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
