David Did you by any chance pinch your map/layers set-up/refresh/display code from the MapBasic window in MI? If you did, it may be rife with "Set Redraw On"s. Or it may not have any "Set redraw Off"s. I had the same problem. What I did is make sure I'd located all the ons and offs, got rid of any not needed, and just have one "Off" at the beginning of any code that alters/draws maps, and one "On" after it's all done. Hey presto! Bumpf! The map's all done in one go.
Check any sub-procs you call that may have more "on"s in them HTH Terry -----Original Message----- From: David Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 July 2004 16:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Can I stop the map from drawing until it's ready? Hey Listers, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to avoid drawing and redrawing maps while running a mapbasic app. I have set Redraw and Event Processing off, but it still draws all the layers as soon as the "Map from..." command comes in. And then again when I set the layer styles. This really slows down the app. Is there some way to get the map not to draw at all, until everything is set? Am I doing something wrong?
