I want to make a Tool Plugin which will span a rectangle on mousedrag, like the cinema rectangle selection does.
It works fine to get the drag, position, and to draw the rectangle by DrawXORLine. But when the position changes, I have to draw a new rectangle, and the old rectangle with the old position should disappear. At the moment by dragging I get hundreds of rectangles...how can I clear all the things I drawed in an editor window?

If I do the draw of the line in the Draw function, then the editor will be cleared automatically before drawing. But there I cannot use the DrawXORLine, only MouseInput provides a pointer to EditorWindow

Hi,

you need to draw the old rectangle again to remove it before drawing another XORLine (or in your case recangle). It´s kinda like toggling.

Gad, that brings back old memories of DOS graphics programming - once wrote a DOS GUI back in the day.

*hehe* In fact I did, FastCopy, a copy tool like the famous VGACopy, 3D-Buttons with shadows and klick-effect under DOS....I still wonder how I ever made this stable, my main experience in programming at this time was from AmigaBasic, and this tool was tenthousands of lines in Pascal

I´m not that long with programming but I do remember my brother doing a lotta C64 BASIC stuff (he is now JAVA-C++ Programmer for Volkswagen...hmm, weird history *g* ) and the little sprites walking from one side of the monitor to the other, and it had loads of lines.
