Re: [Dev-C++] Whoops - drawing in Windows

Nope maybe not, serialising is for saving and restoring.

I think you have to store the info in to an array, but looking at this old 
code I cannot remember what exactly you have to do. I worked on the Scribble 
tutorial that comes with VC++ - have a look on MSDN for it.
