screen draw Bug workaround

[roscoe]

I have a routine that calls a combo box, and when the mouse selects a cell away from the combobox it is supposed to disappear. It works in the sample file...in mine, it hangs around but if I move the screen (mouse wheel, page-up/down, etc) such that the box goes off the screen and then bring it back again, the combo box has gone away and all is normal. It appears to be a screen draw bug.

Is there some code I can add that will refresh the screen to make the box go away without have to manually force the refresh as described above?

Thanks

Hi

Have a look at the repaint method.

Well, as ususal MS help is useless. It appears to be a method but MS Help doesn't show how to use it or what it is attached to.

Well, I did it by brute force....I added a scrolldown/scrollup sequence that did the trick.

Hi

Try adding the line

application.repaint

Didn't work...box stays in place until that section is moved off the screen.
