Hi, I have been using the FormEx to create my own Windows forms style. Whilst I think the article is brilliant and the test code great, I have problems with it in Vista. In XP it works fine.

If I create a form (Form1) using the the FormEx class, and use the PaintFrame Event to draw something outside of the client area as in the testproject in the article, it works. If I then create another form (Form2) with paintng outside of the client area, that is shown on the click of a button from a button on Form1, the painting does not work. Again, this works OK in XP, but not in Vista.

Andy ideas?

Thanks

Andy.
