I wonder if this flickering problem is acutally a bug with the RECALC command. The documentation regarding RECALC says....
"When you use the RECALC command without any options, RECALC redisplays only the variable in the field that started the EEP, and recalculates only expressions using that variable. Use the VARIABLES option to force redisplay of all variables placed on the form and recalculation of all table expressions."
In my application, I have 4 Variable Image Objects (vdoc1, vdoc2, vdoc3 and vdoc4) that are small (postage stamp size) to display thumbnails of 4 different images. I have a 5th Variable Image Object (vdocbig) that is very large, about 8.5" by 11" to display the document in it's full size. I want to be able to right click on any one of the thumbnail size Variable Image objects and have the image in that thumbnail displayed as a large image. The EEP I use is very simple...
--on right mouse click for doc 1
SET V vdocbig = .vdoc1
RECALC
RETURN
(all 4 of the EEPS are identical except for the variable vdoc1/2/3/4)
It seems to me that I should be able to use "RECALC" instead of "RECALC VARIABLES" and only the one small Variable Image object and the large image object would blink as it is being redisplaed with the new image. That is not the case. I tried the EEP without using RECALC at all, and the image does not redisplay at all. I then tried using RECALC alone and RECALC VARIABLES and both of them are causing every one of the small Varibable IMAGE objects to blink.
Am I misunderstanding the description of the RECALC? Could somebody please verify this? If so, I would be glad to ask for a bug fix.
