Double-Buffering relates to the Mac, not Windows, and the function in RB is Window.UpdateNow, but again it only applies to the Mac - the function flushes the buffering. The recommendation for looking for "flicker" or NewPicture isn't helpful either, because that talks about CREATING a graphic. I'm talking about this, for example: I have a Canvas onscreen with a picture in it, and a StaticText and a ProgressBar on top of it. What happens frequently is that something else will occur on another part of the window - NOT anywhere's near the Canvas - and for some reason the StaticText and ProgressBar go "white", then get redrawn. Or even worse the Canvas goes "white", and it has to redraw itself. This is strange because all the elements are not connected to each other in any containing sort of way, yet everything seems to react in a very touchy manner. Does that help, and do you have any hints? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | Garth Hjelte | | Customer Service Representative, President | | Chicken Systems, Inc, Rubber Chicken Software Co. | | 714 5th Street SE | | Willmar, MN 56201 USA | | | | 800-8-PRO-EPS Toll Free Order Line (US Only) | | 320-235-9798 Tech Support, Sampler Questions | | International Line | | 360-838-7689 Fax | | Product Sales: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Product Support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Sampler Q+A: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Web Page: www.chickensys.com | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
