disappearing lines

[jfb]

In my program window I used lines (line x1, y1, x2, y2;) to draw a (pseudo) groupbox. The program I am developing launches another program (RUNFILE "myprog.exe", "". After running and closing the outside program, however, the lines in my program window disappear. Is there a way to prevent or deal with this. My program certainly isn't dependent on a "groupbox", but it looks nice...

I can't duplicate that problem. All graphics persist for me. It doesn't matter if another window obscures a program window, or if it is minimized, etc. The graphics don't disappear. Can you post a snip of code and instructions to reproduce the problem?

If you look at my Utility Launcher program, you will see that I simply did away with the fake groupboxes (no more lines). I'm now working on a project that requires lines, but it will not open other programs, so I don't think that I will have a line problem.
