<QUOTE>
I have a function that updates the SIZE and content of several controls. There is a lot of flicker. Therefore I put a



Stat=Set_Property( @Window, "REDRAW", false$ )



at the beginning of the function and a



Stat=Set_Property( @Window, "REDRAW", true$ )



at the end. But it doesn't seem to help. Is there a secret? I've never used REDRAW before.

<QUOTE>Hi Oystein,



No secret, but I think you'll find setting the SIZE property automatically calls REDRAW which is why you get the flicker ( similar to the way setting the SIZE on an invisible window makes it visible I guess )

<QUOTE>Carl,



Thanks. I assume in my case it boils down to try and avoid SIZE as much as possible.

<QUOTE>Or use the Windows API to set the sizes instead....

<QUOTE>Carl,



Don't mind if I do. After you've told me how, that is.

<QUOTE>Terry,



Spot on!



It's just me that have never become accustomed to set multiple properties with @RM-delimited arrays. Yes, I know it's more efficient and now I've learned another good reason for doing it.



Thanks a lot!
