i try to bring a wpf "fire" (http://www.smartypantscoding.com/content/old-school-fire-algorithm-modern-day-wpf) Example to c++/cli. I translated it with a tool to c++/cli, but the overriden "OnRender" Event never get fired. So i see the Window like in the c# Project but without fire.
CompositionTarget_Rendering get called, and so normally InvalidateVisual() must fire the OnRender, but it doesn't. I hope u can help me =)
