Chip,

Have you tried procedurally changing the size of the window (i.e. 1 pixel 
wider, then smaller)?

Subject: v13 - screen redraw

I have a small form I am trying to get working
- it has a fixed text object on it.
- the object is set 'indivisible by default'
- The on load event sets up an outside call back to the process in 
which the form is opened.
- Outside call event sets the title of the object, and sets the text 
object visible.

I can not get the screen to redraw and display the newly assigned text, 
without opening another window over it; like an alert.


I have tried:
1 hiding and showing the process the form is in
using REDRAW WINDOW.

I changed from  fixed txt to a variable and assigned a value
this too fails to redraw properly

can someone see what I am missing?


Thanks 
Chip

Chip,

Another option is to use CALL PROCESS (-1) and see if that works...
