cls with dual screens

[Mr. T]

My program consists of two screens. One for the game and one for the score. I was wondering if it is possible to cls one screen without affecting the other?

[Bacchus]

yes, just set the active screen to the one that you want to clear then cls it

[Mr. T]

yes, but i need a delay before my cls. that delay seems to affect both screens...

[Bacchus]

the delay isnt for a specific screen, its in your code. so what its doing it delaying the code from running for the specified amount of time then clearing the one screen. Id say in your main loop or watever store the Time.Elapsed to a variable and then every time it comes back to that area check to see if the Time.Elapsed - var_used_b4 is enouph for the delay you want then clear it

[Mr. T]
