I'm using Lloyd Maxfield's barbutton xcmd from the Developer Stack.
This is a nice control, but whenever HyperCard repaints (after editing
a script or even holding down command and option to show the button
outlines), the control is not repainted. I notice similar happenings
with the Color stack.
For now, I added a card idle handler that redraws these controls every
100 ticks. Is this a reasonable way to go? I mean, it looks fine, though
you can sometimes see the numbers under the controls flash.
Is there an undocumented system message that is sent to a card when it
is redrawn so that handlers can be set up to redraw things? Or, is
there an XCMD that implements a slider that gets redrawn properly?
