Thanks for the help, but that's not correct. Double-Buffering relates
to the Mac, not Windows, and the function in RB is Window.UpdateNow,
but again it only applies to the Mac - the function flushes the buffering.
The recommendation for looking for "flicker" or NewPicture isn't
helpful either, because that talks about CREATING a graphic. I'm
talking about this, for example:
I have a Canvas onscreen with a picture in it, and a StaticText and a
ProgressBar on top of it. What happens frequently is that something
else will occur on another part of the window - NOT anywhere's near
the Canvas - and for some reason the StaticText and ProgressBar go
"white", then get redrawn. Or even worse the Canvas goes "white", and
it has to redraw itself.
This is strange because all the elements are not connected to each
other in any containing sort of way, yet everything seems to react in
a very touchy manner.
Does that help, and do you have any hints?
