Hi guys,

I've played a little with the code and found that we can't use text functions together with graphics - the text goes directly to the LCD than the graphic gets into the buffer first and than whole buffer transferred to display.
So I added functions DrawString and DrawChar that draw string into buffer first, so it can be combined with graphics and shown by calling Lcd.Refresh() function:

public void DrawString(int x, int line, string str, bool mode)
        {
            foreach (char c in str)
            {
                DrawCharacter(x, line, c,mode);

                x += 5; // 6 pixels wide

                if (x + 5 >= 84)
                {
                    x = 0;    // ran out of this line
                    line++;
                }

                if (line >= 48 / 8)
                {
                    return;        // ran out of space :(
                }
            }
        }

        protected void DrawCharacter(int x, int line, char c, bool mode)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
            {
                if (mode)
                    ByteMap[x + (line * 84)+ i] |= NokiaCharacters.ASCII[c - 0x20][i];
                else
                    ByteMap[x + (line * 84) + i] |=(byte) ~NokiaCharacters.ASCII[c - 0x20][i];
                //x++;
            }
        }

Nice Eugene! You're welcome to re-post the code with that added in.
