[Gordon Wilson]

Thank you Kelly and Phil,
I will look into those two ideas. I just hope it’s available in O$501 : )
Kind regards, Gordon.

Bracket your window-updating code like this -

    Do $cinst.$norefresh.$assign(kTrue)    # postpone all redraws for this window ($cinst)

    #  <  rearrange things >

    Do $cinst.$norefresh.$assign(kFalse)    # allow redraws again



You can also keep the cursor from flashing with this -

    Do $root.$modes.$ccursor.$assign(kcursArrow)
    Do $root.$modes.$fixedcursor.$assign(kTrue)    # lock in arrow cursor

      #  <  do stuff >

    Do $root.$modes.$fixedcursor.$assign(kFalse)    # release cursor lock
