So I am building a program with a "status bar." It needs to be regularly
updated with select "news from the backend" updates. I have an issue where when
I try redraw() and redraw_label() for the bar itself the program seems to
ignore me and draw the new status ontop of the other. I can call redraw on the
window and this fixes the draw over issue but it wont update until something
external to this process causes the window to refresh (mouse move, keyboard
input, etc). What is causing this? What is the workaround?
Windows 7 64-bit, Dev-C++, FLTK 1.3.0
Sample Code:
sb->StatusBarGroup->label("Connecting...");
sb->StatusBarGroup->redraw_label();
WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1,1), &wsaData);
Socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
addr = getaddrinfo("127.0.0.1","27423", NULL, &res);
addr = connect(Socket, res->ai_addr, res->ai_addrlen);
if(addr == 0)
{
sb->StatusBarGroup->label("Unconnected - Unvalidated");
sb->StatusBarGroup->redraw_label();
}
else if(addr == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
sb->StatusBarGroup->label("Unconnected - Unvalidated");
sb->StatusBarGroup->redraw_label();
//connection fail error notify
return 0;
}
Thanks!
