Snarty your theory is fact! :D it does work well with a canvas.
But i still can't use it because i need it to work with Blitz3D as well as BlitzPlus :(
Well i'll either have to write a fast flood fill algorithm or just use pure for this project, lets hope BlitzMax covers this when we get it;)
Thanx all
<Edit>
I've just realized that when the window is repainted any changes you made to canvas through the DC are lost, it seems to draw to the gadget and not to the canvas buffer :(
