Flashing Buttons

[JamesV]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Im trying to remove the flashing effect on my buttons.


What is the problem you are having?
The buttons are flashing and I would like it to go away.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I Haven't tried too much, I know that the problem lies somewhere with the Disabling of the Button inside the If, and the If inside the loop. I dont know why its flashing though because im not Enabling and then Disabling it.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

I cant post too much code because I don't want to make it look like I stole it.

Turing:

loop         if numberofcards > 2 then             GUI.Disable (double_button)         end if         exit when GUI.ProcessEvent () end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using

Flashing results from excessive and/or slow redrawing of elements.

Having more than one cls or (cls + delay) could lead to such problems. First check that you don't have such cases.

View.Update will be suggested at some point, but make sure you understand exactly what it does, as it will cause problems if any of the buttons lead to procedures with loops or delays.

Ok, thanks . You helped me fix my problem

So it was excessive disabling, that seemed to be the problem.

Ex. of Flash

Turing:

import GUI procedure button1 end button1 var button : int := GUI.CreateButtonFull (205, 90, 0, "500",     button1, 0, '^D', true)     loop     exit when GUI.ProcessEvent ()     GUI.Disable (button)     end loop

But I didn't expect it to flash, because Im looping a Disable, im not enabling it and disabling it quickly.

So my easy fix was to add an If to check if the button had be previously disabled, and if it was to skip that part of the code. [/syntax]
