Peter, Late to this thread so I may have misunderstood your original question (sorry too lazy to check the archives).
When we had VFP display issues in the past, we would FIRST position our application off-screen using very negative _screen positions. Then we would update our application screen while it was off-screen so all the dirtiness was hidden from the user. (Just like making sausage) When our application's screen complete, we would move it into the visible portion of a user's display. Hope this gives you some ideas, Malcolm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
