SebHoll,
Does it lock if you use an event queue instead?
when just using the event queue it functions correctly.
Also, is there anything specific about your computer set-up? For example, are you using a non-English version of Windows? Are you using Windows Classic window theme or the standard XP ones? Are you using Windows Blinds or some other patched theme manager?
I am running Microsoft's Zune theme (an official windows theme, not some 3rd party skinning app), I had only reformatted about a month ago so there isn't much software on it. I switched it back to XP theme to test and the results are the same. It's the english version of XP. The only thing I would consider 'non-standard' about my physical setup is I have dual monitors (24-inch and a 19 inch). I disabled one of the monitors and had only one running and that didn't affect anything.
Finally, what happens if you comment out RedrawGadget() from EVENT_TIMERTICK? Does it still lock-up?
using the original eventHook code posted above, if I comment out 'redrawGadget' from EVENT_TIMERTICK then my canvas only draws once (upon load), which is to be expected right? There's no lock up in this situation.
