OBJECT.REPAINT Function

Syntax

.Repaint()

Description

Repaints a control, browse, or form.

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 Anywhere 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.

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()
