How to force a redraw?

[Cardanine]

Hi, is there any way to force the window to be repainted?

I'm using DX9 to render, and when I get a device lost event, I release
all my texture resources and recreate them when I reset my device. At
this point the textures are empty and I need to get the browser to
repaint everything. I can't use Window->Refresh() as that reloads the
URL, nor can I use Window->Resize() since the size of the window
didn't necessarily change (and passing the unchanged width and height
to Resize() does nothing).

Does anyone know how to get the window to simply repaint itself?

Thanks,
Nick

I don't think think there's a way to force it to redraw. You could, of
course, *actually* resize it and then resize it back.

Alternatively, you could force a redraw by causing it to reflow the
page (insert & remove an element that forces the layout to change) or
even just by plastering a absolutely positioned div over the entire
thing and then removing it.

Both hacks, but I think they'd work. Of course you can also just keep
a copy of the texture yourself.

might help someone in future.

if you have jquery this does this does the job.

ExecuteScript("$('body').hide().show(0)");
