Re: Display of Field Updates on Form

Bill,

I curse 4D's ability or rather inability to update form elements on a
daily basis... sometimes they work flawlessly, sometimes they choke.
REDRAW command is pathetically ineffective.

The one sure fire way I found out that the form elements are drawn
correctly is by resizing the window by 1 pixel... Create your own
wrapper REDRAW_FORM where the form window is re-sized 1 pixel and then
immediately re-sized back 1 pixel, this way the original window XY is
maintained and everything on the form is updated... drawbacks are...
output windows and subforms need to re-page their data from the server
creating needless I/O but otherwise It should work.


Best

Paul
