Fernando, is this the code?
*Private Const W As Integer = 2048 Private Const H As Integer = 2048 Public Sub DwgArea_Draw() Dim angle As Float Dim eScale As Float Dim i As Integer Print "Executing" & Now dwgArea.width = 800 ' does nothing dwgArea.Height = 1000 ' does nothing Print dwgArea.width; dwgArea.Height Paint.Translate(dwgArea.W / 2, dwgArea.H / 2) Paint.Brush = Paint.Color(Color.SetAlpha(Color.Red, 128)) Paint.LineWidth = 1 For i = -15 To 195 Step 15 angle = Rad(CFloat(i)) Paint.MoveTo(0, 0) Paint.LineTo(Cos(angle) * W / 2, Sin(angle) * H / 2) Paint.Stroke Paint.Fill Next End* Does the whole DwgArea_Draw() routine get called twice? Can you set some breakpoints (F9) and check the calling stack to see what's going on?
