Good afternoon.
I draw a XbpBitmap() in the AppDesktop() and I want to destroy the image 
as shown in the attach.
Please, how can I hide it?
I tried: AppDesktop():invalidateRect(), Appdesktop():paint() and 
AppDesktop():show()

how did you do this ?

> and I want to destroy the image

hm ... click on Desktop and press F5
***you need handle from Desktop -> SysListView32 to 
@user32:InvalidateRect( hWnd , 0 , 1 )

Question : what do you want to do with your bitmap near tasktray ?

Hello Jim.
Good morning.
First of all many thanks.

The yellow rectangular area shown is a tip drawn Appdesktop() PS using 
XbpBitmap() below a menu item when it is not a submenu .

Please see the images:
-> PrtScr.png is the Desktop image that can to be seen.
-> Initial.png is the image of AppDesktop() after to be drawn using 
GraBitBlt()
after some tests. The AppDesktop() PS is not cleaned
-> Clean.png -> XbpPresSpace() cleaned before to save the AppDesktop() 
images that I put them here.

Pressing F5 does not clear the AppDesktop() PS that was drawn.

I think that if I using @user32:InvalidateRect( hWnd , 0 , 1 ) passing 
the AppDesktop() hWnd and the RECT of the tip can solve the problem. Is 
it right?

Hello Jim.
Good morning.
Sorry to bother you.
I tried to clean the _tip's_ area with the attached prg as many ways 
taht I could imagien (my knowledge of the APIs is very very restricted) 
and nothing worked.
Please, do you know what goes wrong?

hi

have you click on Desktop before press F5 ?

i don't think AppDesktop() hWnd give you right handle of
Desktop-SysListView32.

?   hDesktop  := @user32:GetDesktopWindow()
?   hExplorer := @user32:FindWindowExA(hDesktop,0,"Progman"+Chr(0),"Program 
Manager"+Chr(0))
?   hShell  := @user32:FindWindowExA(hExplorer,0,"SHELLDLL_DefView",0)
?   hListview := 
@user32:FindWindowExA(hShell,0,"SysListView32"+Chr(0),"FolderView"+Chr(0))

Hello Jim:
good afternoon.
Many thanks again.

When I click in desktop the menu and the tip disapear.
I changed the attached program for to try erase the tip according your 
advise and nothing hapened.
If you desire take a look at it. Eveything is  very strange for me.

hi,

the GetDesktopWindow() API ist NOT the result ... it is the starting Point

if you got that handle next ist to find "Program Manager" which is easy
the Problem might be to find "SHELLDLL_DefView" while there can be other 
(WorkerW) between.
so if you got "SHELLDLL_DefView" than you will find "SysListView32".

now you can try to refresh "SysListView32"
i use this Way to get Desktop Icon but never try to refresh Desktop 
Background Bitmap where you paint on

Hello Jim.
Good morning.
Many thanks again.
I am thinking that it may to have some problem in drawing in 
AppDesktop():lockPS() because the desktop appearence is restored when 
you click in its area it's PS is not restaured.
I will making some tests and, if I get some result, I will to put it here.
