    Dialog disappears when dragging

    Hi

    as stated in the title, I am having a dialog based application. When I am starting to move it by the title bar it disappears and only reappears (at the right location) when I finish the move.
    any idea why? looks like some repaint problem..

    You must have changed something and it causes a problem. Without seeing what you changed there is no way to draw any intelligent conclusion.

    Does this happen with other windows too, or just yours?

    If you open up Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) you can go to Tools->Options and click on the View tab. Scroll down to 'Visual Settings'. There you should see an option called 'Show window contents while dragging'. Make sure it's ticked. If that's not the problem then, as John says, it's impossible to guess, just from your description.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Now I have seen that in fact the window shows when there is no other application visible. (on the desktop I see the window while dragging.)
