XP: clear function on XP

 [1/4] from: luc::spirlet::skynet::be at: 19-Jan-2005 1:14


The clear function is perfect with linux and win98. How to explain a few characters with this function on XP? The know-how is replace a variable. Here, we accord our confidence to a function. The behavior is different. Need to replace the variable? That's the question. It's not a great problem. It's with rebol/view. Need the code: button "Erase the zone " 0.0.233 100x60[ clear err/text show err ] This code causes a line with a few characters in area object. err is an area object. On XP only. I've made the test on win98 and on linux mandrake 9. No problems. I must set this program on an XP environment. err/text: "" Is it a better portable solution? I can believe it. Thanks for help.

Hi Luc, SL> This code causes a line with a few characters in area object. SL> err is an area object. I think the issue is that the face's line-list doesn't get updated, so it's displaying (or trying to) data that no longer exists. Try clearing face/line-list and see if that takes care of the problem for you. -- Gregg

I've tried the code: clear err/line-list No effect. But I've maybe misused this solution. For the moment, I've just set err/text: " " with a space because without a space I had yet a few characters. XP wants anything. Unfortunately, I don't have XP at home. And I don't know when I will can again test this situation. I had not the time to eliminate a possible situation with viruses. Regards, Luc

err/line-list: none to "clear" the line-list. nice word-confusion :) It caches some pixel-information about the lines and needs to be recalulated when text changes. which is signal by setting to none. With betas you can also use set-face err "a string" which does that clearing automatically.
