----------------------------------- Flikerator Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:10 pm View.UpdateArea ----------------------------------- How come no one on the forums has told me about View.UpdateArea? I found it when I was looking through the help files. It will be very helpful, search it in the turing help. Its really good. I think I will impliment it into my programs.. Put it in turing help because its just to help others? I unno. Post questions and ill help. ----------------------------------- person Tue Mar 01, 2005 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- if u want to start a thread that helps others, you should post it in the "Tutorial" section ----------------------------------- Flikerator Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:09 pm ----------------------------------- if u want to start a thread that helps others, you should post it in the "Tutorial" section Well im not really writing a tutorial about View.UpdateArea... ----------------------------------- person Tue Mar 01, 2005 7:04 pm ----------------------------------- i c ur point...i wonder if its possible to have a tutorial on it...hhmmmm.... :think: ----------------------------------- Flikerator Tue Mar 01, 2005 7:29 pm ----------------------------------- i c ur point...i wonder if its possible to have a tutorial on it...hhmmmm.... :think: It would, but it would be very short.

Unless it had lots of examples (How to do a circle ext) Well, if you insist on making it longer, I suppose you could write us a detailed tutorial on backbuffering (offscreenonly) including why and we use it, with examples and exaplanation of good loop struction (ie. grouping all your drawing commands together [that includes cls] followed by a your one and only View.Update [or View.UpdateArea, but you can have more than one of them]). :lol: No pressure, Flikerator. :) -Cervantes ----------------------------------- Flikerator Wed Mar 02, 2005 5:26 pm ----------------------------------- Maybe I will add it to my list of Tutorials im writing lolz ^^; All of them will have to wait, programming contest Tuesday!
