Drawing onto MDI Forms...

Is there something special to do to draw on an MDI main Form ?
Drawing into the canvas of any window works perfectly, but with MDI main
form, nothing is drawn in the client area...
I REALLY need to draw on my MDI main form.

Is it another "feature" from Microsoft?...

This question has been asked at least 100,000 times. Access the Delphi
FAQ on the Inprise site for sample code.
