when there is a slide "vertical or horizontal" , the drawing breaks, I need to know when the slide happens "may be via a function or a message".

Hi Mohamed,

can you please give some more details? What do you mean by sliding? Moving the dialog around? Resizing the dialog?

in AM or MM, when you have many descriptions that can be larger than the UI "many pages" , so the sliders appear to scroll the UI.

Ok, got it. But I have no idea.
I guess, you correctly overrode GetMinSize() and Sized() member functions in GeUserArea?
I checked in my own plugin's code and I'm not aware, I'm doing anything special for this situation. The scroll bars appear as soon as available space is below minimum size. But you don't have to care for this at all. You simply continue drawing with the size given in Sized().
You will have to post some relevant code (probably GetMinSize(), Sized() and DrawMsg()) to get further.

I override GetMinSize(), tried overriding Sized(), nothing changed.
here is an image, after doing a drag with the horizontal slider.

Looks like a redraw is missing.
Unfortunately you didn't post any code.
There is also an example, I guess you know it already. Perhaps you can explain, what you are doing differently.

the redraw needs to be done for the AM or MM, not for the GeUserArea "so I can open the user area in 5 different places, and it will only glitch in the place where it slides" , so how to redraw the AM or MM? "the parent"

Please have a look at the example I linked to. It does not seem to have such problems. Nor does my own plugin have such a problem. So either you post some code for me to work with or you check for differences to the example yourself.
