>>> REDRAW and REDRAW WINDOW are no longer relevant and have no practical effect.
I am not sure this is a good statement to make as there are other
legitimate uses for using the commands. (at least for 2004)
http://www.4d.com/4ddoc2004/CMU/CMU00174.HTMREDRAW command must be made to work as advertised. It would be silly
to refresh a page with 3 subforms if only one needs to be updated.
Especially if the subforms are enterable!
REDRAW WINDOW can easily be considered obsolete but that is a huge mistake.
http://www.4d.com/4ddoc2004/CMU/CMU00456.HTM, it's easy to deduce that
the documentation's claim is a farce. Most of the time when you need
to force the window refresh is because 4D doesn't update the object's
state. Maybe 4D should have had a command like REDRAW OBJECT and make
it do what the documentation claims it does. This would also make the
idea of creating new commands like REDRAW LIST obsolete every time a
new feature was added.
In any case, 4D should move commands it deems as obsolete in to an
obsolete pile instead of sending developers scratching their head why
things don't work per documentation's claim :-)
