I hope I'm posting this to the correct news group...-:) Anyway, yesterday I was writing my first real application that uses Intuition, (most of my stuff is pure console stuff), and I ran into a problem. In my window, I write some text. However, when it is resized, the text that was obscured doesn't get refreshed. I do, however, have the SMART_REFRESH flag set. I thought that that would do it. But it doesn't. Write now, I'm refreshing it myself whenever I get NEWSIZE events from Intuition. Is there an automatic way of accomplishing what I want to do? Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I'm using MANX 3.6. Thanks, Alexander Hinds USENET:ahinds@hvrford BITNET:A_HINDS@HVRFORD

If you read the manuals thoroughly, you'd find that the only case where SMART_REFRESH fails to entirely fix your window's display is when the user resizes the window smaller, then larger. The NEWSIZE events are intuition's solution to this dilemma. Depending on your specific application I'd suggest using the SUPER_BITMAP type of refresh. This mode allows the window to easily display a portion of the actual bitmap it's displaying, without any damage ocurring. Investigate it further, and I hope that helps. -- Aaron Avery (avery@puff.cs.wisc.edu) ({seismo,caip,allegra,harvard,rutgers,ihnp4}!uwvax!puff!avery)
