If you use lock screen to have 1 screen update rather than hundreds or 
thousands of screen updates, it will be vastly faster.

lockscreen?

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

So . . . owing to some oddities of my Devawriter Pro I have set up a new
interface that automatically converts encoded documents from it original
to another format; but that is implemented as an automation of one of
the manual interfaces; so a series (hundreds, thousands) of mouseUp
signals are despatched to images that function as buttons.

This makes for an extremely pretty user feedback situation, but also
means that things tend to be s . . . l . . . o . . . w . . .

If I lock the screen (so these automations don't show up) will that
speed things up?

Re: Lockscreen and Visual effect

[John Dixon]

Hi Phil...

Use unlock screen instead of show object...

lockscreen for visual effect
--draw the new set of people into the same rect as the old ones, while the 
screen is locked
unlock screen with push down

Why does lockScreen not work here?

[bar...@libero.it]

This is a similar question to that of Tiemo (why does lock screen doesn't locks 
the screen? (Tiemo Hollmann TB)) about finding colours under other objects 
(controls) but that thread evolved so fast in a single Digest I may appear a 
bit late. Thus the hijacked thread title.

The following handler detects the colour onto which a dragged object is dropped 
by moving it and getting the mouseColor but. Although it could be interpreted 
as a settling wobble, I would prefer not to see the little movement .
 
This works correctly, as is, but if I uncomment the lines 'lockScreen' and 
'unlockScreen' then the whole handler is stopped. 

I've tried moving the commented lines around and using 'set lock screen' but 
the result is always the same, suggestions please.

   --unlockScreen
   if tColour is 0,0,0 then

Re: Why does lockScreen not work here?

[Mark Schonewille]

Barry,

You made a mistake.

The correct syntax is:


lock screen
or
set the lockScreen to true

and

unlock screen
or
set the lockScreen to false

[bar...@libero.it]

 Thank you Mark!Now you all know why I don't ask questions very often.But I do 
enjoy reading all my Digests every evening (can't understand how you people 
keep it up in real time) and that takes so long I never get around to working 
on my stacks (or reading the fm)!
