Windows stop updating if they're dragged

Hi, I've a problem where, if I drag a window around the screen, the processing of the window stops. This causes the graphics within the window to get distorted. When I release the mouse button to stop dragging, the window is updated again (processing continues) as expected. Is there a method I'm missing out on that allows a window to continue to update when it's getting dragged around the screen? Thanks!

Use an eventhooked timer which triggers screen updates.

You can do it with MaxGUI, if I remember rightly, by setting up your own gadgets instead of using the default/native gadgets.

Thanks for the help I've since did a quick google search for eventhook... If anyone else has a similar problem, this link may be of help to them too: http://www.2dgamecreators.com/maxgui/T15-Eventhooks.html Thanks again,
