<OBJECT>.REPAINT()

Syntax

<OBJECT>.REPAINT()

Description

The <OBJECT>.REPAINT() method applies to:

Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)
Form Controls (for <OBJECT> use the <CONTROL> pointer or the address of the control)

The <OBJECT>.REPAINT() method re-displays a control, browse, or form. In some very rare situations, an Alpha Five form may not repaint properly after you perform some action. You can now force objects on the form to repaint. For example, if a browse did not repaint properly after you navigated to a new record, the topparent:browse1.repaint() method would repaint the browse object called browse1.

Supported By

Alpha Five Version 5 and Above

Limitations

Desktop applications only.

Example

dim ptr as P

dim fld as P

ptr = form.load("Customer Information")

ptr.show()

fld = ptr.Child("Lastname")

fld.text = "Lincoln"

fld.Repaint()
