Flashing screen borders...
Mike Van Waas
activate the screen?
The issue is the screen borders. In the color scheme I prefer, there's quite
a difference between the colors of the active and inactive screens. In a
multi-screen application, I'd like to refresh the contents of one screen
depending on what happens in another (buttons, data changes ...) The code is
no sweat, but I'd like to have the inactive screen refresh it's data without
having the borders flash on momentarily while the data is being re-written
just to have it flash back when the update is done.
Note this isn't a Windows screen driver issue. It's purely within FoxPro.
Suggestions more than welcome!

Have you tried ACTIVATE WINDOW SAME? This activates the window for
output without bringing it to the top.

use the command SHOW GETS instead. If the data you want is in @..SAY
objects, make sure that the REFRESH is enabled. (this will put @..SAY code
in teh READ SHOW snippet of teh read, and the @..SAY's will be refreshed as
well.
