- Are you selecting the old clip region before deleting the one you created?
- Remember, Windows won't let you delete an object that's currently selected
- in a DC. What you should be doing is:
-
- ClipRegion = CreateRegion( ..... );
- OldRegion = SelectObject( hDC, ClipRegion );
- .....
- SelectObject( hDC, OldRegion );
- DeleteObject( ClipRegion );
-
- That should work OK.
