Hmm, I have the developer package, but I can't log in, and it denies
that my email address is in its database.

Was there somewhere else I needed to sign up for this?

Belay that. I just tested it, and "wait 0" works as intended, with or without 
"with messages"

The other consideration is that the loop is likely going so fast that even with 
the "wait 0" line the screen update may be too slow to keep up and the only 
thing you'll get will be the final number.

It works well without the "with messages" clause, so just adding "wait 
0" should do what you need.


That said, it appears that very soon that particular bit of arcane 
knowledge will no longer be needed to have text displayed reliably - 
members of the Dev Program can read Mark Waddingham's thoughtful 
comments on this here, noting that going forward the update behavior 
will be made more consistent across platforms:




Until that version is released, simply adding "wait 0" will do what you 
need.

Re: Screen not updating with unlock screen

[Alex Tweedly]

The short answer is that the right way to 'fix' this is to use
  wait 0 secs with messages
(or  wait 0 millisecs with messages - same thing :-)

Now you said that doing that produced some strange behaviour - can you 
describe it in more detail, and we'll see if we can figure that out (and 
/ or fix it).


Thanks

btw - you can't attach anything to mails to this list - best way is to 
include a URL like you did here.

Hey All-

I am having an issue getting output to display during a loop. I've
tried lock/unlock screen but unlock screen does not seem to cause the
screen to update. The only thing that works is "wait 0 seconds" but
this causes bizarre behavior in some cases (mouseDown/mouseUp not
behaving correctly [even when I use wait "with messages"]).

I'm starting to wonder if this is a bug in LiveCode? Here is a video:
http://www.jrirecordings.com/public/putXShowsOnScreenCapture.mp4 which
shows some possibly odd behavior. The example in the video is simple:

repeat with x = 1 to 1000
put x
end repeat

When I run this in the message box, what I see on the screen is a
blank result for a couple of seconds, then 1000 appears. When I do a
screen capture of that loop running, I still don't see anything on the
monitor until it is done, but on the screen capture, it shows the
number incrementing over the course of those couple of seconds until
it hits 1000. (Note: I've run this with the "put x" wrapped in
lock/unlock screen and that doesn't show anything on the screen
either).

Is there some way aside from "wait 0 seconds" to force the screen to
show output?

Thanks

Gabe

Screen not updating with unlock screen

[Gabriel Johnson]

Hey All-

Sorry if this is a duplicate, my first version of this email from a
few days ago has not been approved yet (I'm assuming I can't attach
videos).

I am having an issue getting output to display during a loop. I've
tried lock/unlock screen but unlock screen does not seem to cause the
screen to update. The only thing that works is "wait 0 seconds" but
this causes bizarre behavior in some cases (mouseDown/mouseUp not
behaving correctly [even when I use wait "with messages"]).

I'm starting to wonder if this is a bug in LiveCode? Here is a video:
http://www.jrirecordings.com/public/putXShowsOnScreenCapture.mp4 which
shows some possibly odd behavior. The example in the video is simple:

repeat with x = 1 to 1000
   put x
end repeat

blank result for a couple of seconds, then 1000 appears. When I do a
screen capture of that loop running, I still don't see anything on the
monitor until it is done, but on the screen capture, it shows the
number incrementing over the course of those couple of seconds until
it hits 1000. (Note: I've run this with the "put x" wrapped in
