I have a MapBasic program that runs in a big loop where each iteration adds text to a Layout window using the Create Text command. The problem is that you don't see any of the text appear on the layout until the program has made it through all iterations of the loop, and because this is a long loop, I want the user to be able to read each line of text as it appears in the layout window, not have to wait until the loop is complete. Some background: The layout window is the front window Set Layout Frame Contents On is set I've tried Run Menu Command M_WINDOW_REDRAW I've tried calls to Windows DLLs like SetActiveWindow, etc. An interesting thing: If I put a Note statement in the middle of each loop, then the layout window redraws - so I know it can be done. (though several dozen note statements are, of course, not an option) Any help appreciated...
