Hi Rob

Following on from the question about

Could you please explain what the old paint problem is ?

I am experiencing what seems like what you're describing.

I using the following code to (try to) display an image in a RichEdit control:

	Graphics::TBitmap *tempGraphic = new Graphics::TBitmap;
	TImage *img = new TImage(this);

/*	// Method A

	img->Parent = RichEdit1;
	tempGraphic->LoadFromFile("flowers.bmp");
	img->Canvas->Draw( 10, 10, tempGraphic );
*/

	// Method B

	img->Picture->LoadFromFile("flowers.bmp");
	// optional image placement code, like img->Left = 10;
	RichEdit1->InsertControl(img);

It seems that Method A and Method B achieve the same result (displays an
image in the control), but thereafter, some corruption occurs to the first
character of subsequently entered text. Also the image is not redrawn
successfully if the RichEdit control is scrolled. Is this the paint problem
you mentioned, or have I just screwed up my code.

Any help appreciated.

Michael.
