Is there a way to clear only part of a screen? I know one way would be to draw a white box over what I want to clear but that doesn't exactly work out like I had in mind. Any help would be appreciated. |

Yep you can. If you are using View.Set / View.Update to clear the screen just use this command:
Where the x and y variables are the coordinates of you "box" or area to update or clear. Hope this helped. |

Is there any other way... because that doesn't quite work how I want it to. Because the other parts of the screen still get cleared... Also when I'm using get it doesn't show up until AFTER i press enter. Edit: Okay... if there is no other way could you atleast tell me how to put the cursor back at the top left of the screen like how a cls would do it? |

you could just draw a box around your fill area and locate (1,1) to recenter the cursor |

Yes..this is the *best* way to do this. If you implement it properly you shouldn't be getting any problems. Post your code and I can help you out |
