But am unable to verify the changes, as the window is basically blank. I am using FMain.Refresh after changing something on the Window, but that's not helping. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 Ultimate Edition (32 bit) and my screen res is set at 1440 X 900 on a 17â LCD display. The computer is a AMD Athlon 64, running at 2.21 Ghz with 2 GB of Ram. I have a screen shot of the issue, but I don't see a way of attaching it to this post.

Don't do it In VB it did something entirely different than what it does in RB dutch_kuykendall wrote:Whats strange, is that the entire window is blank (empty of any controls, & text boxes) once I click on it, to bring out the majority of the windo out from behind the debugger IDE. Not so strange The Window needs to be redrawn but can't because the main thread is paused because you're in the debugger with code paused. Windows asks the window to redraw when you click on it but it can't because you've paused code execution. _________________ My web site Great White Software RBLibrary.com REALbasic learning Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 4 posts ]
