Eh.. so is this for VB (what version?) or Java? It would probably help to know how you're drawing to screen in the first place. |

Are you referring to the screen as in drawing shapes, SWING, awt, etc. or to the console? |

So the console then. Java isn't well known for giving the programmer access to the console. I'm not sure if this will work, but you can call the ANSI sequence: System.out.print( ( ( char ) 27 ) + "[2J" ); Test it, see what happens. Also, you could try System.out.flush(); but I haven't the slightest idea if that'll work or not. |

if im not wrong, that will just print an empty line? "\f"? but thats a good way i guess, since there is no other way to clear the interaction just by coding? if thats the case, then just use System.out.println(); |

System.out.clear(); I'm pretty sure that |

The correct answer to "how do you clear the default text console?" is... Don't |
