Following the recent SW-xBase conference, I’ve decided to try the “Manifest” 
on my Win-7.
One of the problems is that when the Win-7 manifest is on, the main window 
object constantly receives resize event from Win-7, which cause flickering 
of the toolbar and statusbar.  If the main “do while” loop intercepts and 
suppresses the resizing event (event 1048626), the flickering stops, but 
this patch may have other side-effects.
The resizing event and flickering do not occur in XP or Window-Classic mode.
Any idea on how to activate the manifest in Win-7 without the bad 
side-effect?
Many thanks,

read about "change in SL1" where o:clipChildren have change

try

   #IF XPPVER < 01900333
      oDlg:drawingArea:ClipChildren := .F.
   #ELSE
      oDlg:drawingArea:ClipChildren := .T.
   #ENDIF

Jimmy,
I am using 1.90.355 with clipping set to .T., but the flickering still 
occurs in Win-7 mode.

hm ... that meen you "do resize" somewhere ...

does you "Main" Windows "full fit " Screen ?
do you compare o:drawingArea:Currentsize() somewhere ?

when using XP Manifest under Win7 you got "borderpadding"
which are some Pixel ( 4 default ) wide so this might give a
difference.
