Hi Everyone, I have a situation where I have a variable on an input form that I set programmatically immediately before opening a dialog window (using the "Plain Window" window type). When I move the dialog to the side (to see the input form, now in the background), the variable still has its "old" value.
I know the variable is being set because I tried setting the variable value to the clipboard before opening the dialog (the new value gets there). When the dialog is closed, the variable is updated with the new value. I've tried throwing in a REDRAW(variablename) and even a DELAY PROCESS(Current process;60) - but neither has any effect. I noticed that the same effect happens even when an ALERT is called instead of opening a dialog - the variable does not display its new value in the background. All of this is in the same process, of course. I've tried using process variable displayed on the form as well as an object without a variable name (using Object Get Pointer to set the value) - same results. It is important that the screen properly show the "new" value in the input form so it is visible in the background when the dialog is open. Any thoughts? Anyone seen this? How to get a window to refresh before opening another window? I was quite surprised that even the Delay Process didn't do it.... Many thanks!
