4D V6 or V7 was the last version where REDRAW WINDOW was redrawing the whole window, then 4D began to "optimize" the redrawing. Maybe it is faster now, but it definitely is no longer working as expected. My workaround: // Methode: RedrawWindow // Angelegt: BF 16.09.03 // Objekt: Dienstroutine // Beschreibung: Umgehung für das seit 4D 2003 nicht mehr zuverlässig funktionierende Redraw Window // ---------------------------------------------------- C_LONGINT($lLeft;$lTop;$lRight;$lBottom) GET WINDOW RECT($lLeft;$lTop;$lRight;$lBottom) SET WINDOW RECT($lLeft;$lTop;$lRight-1;$lBottom) SET WINDOW RECT($lLeft;$lTop;$lRight;$lBottom) Gives a short flicker, but is the only way I know of to actually redraw a window. Maybe someone else has found another solution without the flicker?
