When running in HC 2.0 with more than one stack open, can anyone tell me how to get the window for the non-active stack to update without doing a complete context switch to that stack (which takes a few seconds)? It seems that you can change the contents of the visible card of that stack, but the changes don't show up on the screen until that stack becomes the active one. Any ideas?

How about putting your update tasks in an idle handler in the non-active stack? Then make sure that the active stack passes along all idle messages. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Len Saaf, The Institute of Optics, Univ. of Rochester, Rochester, NY | | Internet: saaf@joker.optics.rochester.edu Bitnet: SAAF@UOROPT | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
