    Thanx, it will work, i could now pass the CRect! Simple is Simply the best way ;) But do you know what i have to do in the OnUpdate of the viw.cpp ? The view will not automatically update only the rect area ? I men when i print text in my view and then load new text my version of UpdateAllViews should only update the rect ??? But how? Sorry for my stupid question :confused: :-O but i m really confused ! Many thanx Croc

    A simple call to InvalidateRect() in your OnUpdate() overrides should do it.

    void CMyView::OnUpdate(CView* pSender, LPARAM /*lHint*/, CObject* pHint)
    {
    InvalidateRect((CRect*)pHint, TRUE);
    }

          What does "won't work" mean? If you're using a rect of (100,100,100,100) then nothing will happen, since the rect has no dimensions (width and height are 0). Try a valid rect! :) Mark

              What does "fails" mean? Doesn't compile? Crashes at runtime? Nothing happens? It marks the area for updating. The next WM_PAINT message will update that area. If the same exact data is drawn as on the last WM_PAINT, you're not going to see a difference.

                  You need to change something between calls to UpdateAllViews() if you want to see something different in the view. What are your views drawing? Something from the document? If so, change the document.

                      Only you know what's going on in your views. The text data must be coming from somewhere... Change it and update the views! And make sure changing it doesn't already cause an update implicitly, or you still won't see anything. If the view is a window not in your control (where you don't do the painting, like an edit control), then you may not have control over updating regions of the window. If you are doing the painting in your view, look at the invalid rect in the WM_PAINT handler - you should see that your update rect is there. What you do with that info in your painting code is up to you. Mark

                                  And you're using SetWindowText()? I've not ever tried that, but it just seems odd.
