Bug D3D9 VC Texture Issue

[tl8]

Hi All

I have a display in the VC of my tug. The problem is that the texture is not showing up. All that I see is a thin blue line around the edge. The whole display should be that blue colour.

Another problem is that the word start is not being shown. Other texts show up, but not Start.

I can deal with the black texture, but not the missing Start text. Any ideas? Could this issue be related to my other problem?

oapi::Font *parmFont = oapiCreateFont (32, true, "Sans", FONT_BOLD);
    oapi::Font *startFont = oapiCreateFont (80, true, "Sans", FONT_BOLD);
    oapi::Pen *buttonPen = oapiCreatePen(1,4,0xFFFFFF);
    oapi::Sketchpad *skp = oapiGetSketchpad (surf);
    skp->SetTextColor(0xFFFFFF);

    
    if(starter){
        skp->SetFont(parmFont);
        char vesselName[32] = "";
        char text[48];
        switch (JBT_B1200::mode) {
            case -2 :    skp->Text(5,5,"Towbar Attached to: Rear",24);
                        oapiGetObjectName(GetAttachmentStatus(back),vesselName,32); 

                        strcpy(text,"Vessel Attached:");
                        strcat(text,vesselName);
                        skp->Text(5,30,text,strlen(text));
                        skp->Text(45,260,"Detach Vessel | Detach Towbar",29);
                        skp->Text(180,300,"Back  |  Back",13);

                        break;

            case -1 :    skp->Text(5,5,"Towbar Attached to: Rear",24);
                        skp->Text(37,260,"Attach Vessel to | Detach Towbar",33);
                        skp->Text(180,300,"Back  |  Back",13);
                        break;

            case 0 :    
                        skp->Text(140,260,"Attach Towbar to",16);
                        skp->Text(175,300,"Front  |  Back",14);
                        break;

            case 1 :    skp->Text(5,5,"Towbar Attached to: Front",25);
                        skp->Text(35,260,"Attach Vessel to | Detach Towbar",33);
                        skp->Text(170,300,"Front  |  Front",15);
                        break;

            case 2 :    skp->Text(5,5,"Towbar Attached to: Front",25);
                        oapiGetObjectName(GetAttachmentStatus(front),vesselName,32); 
                        strcpy(text,"Vessel Attached:");
                        strcat(text,vesselName);
                        skp->Text(5,30,text,strlen(text));
                        skp->Text(50,260,"Detach Vessel | Detach Towbar",29);
                        skp->Text(170,300,"Front  |  Front",15);
                        break;
            }//switch
    }
    else{
        skp->SetFont(startFont);
        skp->Text(130,250,"START",5);
        skp->SetPen(buttonPen);
        skp->Line(80,335,80,240);
        skp->Line(420,335,420,240);
        skp->Line(80,240,420,240);
    }

Are you painting directly on the texture? if yes, try creating your own surface and paint on this. When done, bitblt your own surface to the texture. The drawing functions of Sketchpad don't work well on textures.
