Flush

Flush()

Forces an update of any controls that the event handler has modified

Applies to: Form

Flush

This method is used to force an update of any controls that the event handler has modified. Normally when the properties of a control are changed within an event handler the actual change is not made until the event handler has finished. This is not always desirable as the event may need to constantly update controls on the form while it is processing. For example:

-DEFEVENT Form1.ProcessData()
 WHILE (Count++ < 100) DO
    'ProcessRecords()
    .gaugeControl1.Position = Count
    .form.Flush()
 WEND
 END EVENT
