Subject: [GD-Windows] cleaning the screen

Hi,
I have a non-fullscreen window, that covers all the screen, that when
closed, lefts the desktop completely dirty, that is, with the image that =
was
on the window.
Does somebody know how to redraw the desktop or how to avoid that?

Thanks in advance,

Ignacio Casta=F1o

Actually, you should probably just do InvalidateRect(NULL, NULL, FALSE). =
 If you check the docs you'll see that will force all windows to =
refresh.

Thanks, this works! but sometimes the taskbar is still dirty. Do you =
know
how to obtain a handle to it or how to redraw it?

Thanks in advance,

You might want to try

InvalidateRect(NULL, NULL, FALSE)

as this is supposed to redraw all the windows...
