Does anybody else experience the following behaviour and
(hopefully) have a suggestion for what to do about it?
If the layout is the active window, every time a different
tool or toolbar is selected a refresh is forced. The refresh
is unstoppable -- ESC doesn't work, indeed, in some
circumstances pressing ESC forces a *double* refresh.
The Recipe:
1) Create a layout with one frame on top of another. For example
a base a map with a key map in one corner.
2) Set at least one frame's source property to 'None'
3) Click an icon on one toolbar, then a different toolbar.
Voila. <<refreshes>>
It doesn't matter which frame is set to none. It doesn't
matter if *all* frames are set to none, though this is
slightly more bearable because at least it's faster.
Is there some mapbasic code or something so you can get
on-demand-only refreshing (eg. only when I ask specifically
for a refresh? bound to key like F9? or the middle mouse
button?). I waste a lot of time everyday waiting for
unecessary screen refreshes and it's getting really
irritating.
Actually, while I'm thinking about productivity, how can you
define keyboard shortcuts? I'd really like to be able to
switch between tools with a key stroke. Similar to Illustrator
or Photoshop: S for select, Z for zoom, P for input Polygon,
etc. The mouse aerobics are hurting my wrist.
cheers,
