-- Window with colored StringGadget flickers on RedrawWindow_() command --#


I use a MultiLine string gadget with the AutoVScroll, VScroll, DisableLeft and DisableRight parameters. Background and text colors were changed with an SetWindowCallback (and SetTextColor).#


Now, if i change the content of this string, the text to the right of the cursor gets shifted by the width of the inserted letter without the old text being replaced. So, after a few inserted characters it becomes an unreadable blur of stacked characters.##


A RedrawWindow command does help, but then the window flickers with each StringGadget change.#


Before, i tried a simple SetGadgetText(x,GetGadgetText(x)). Then the window does not flicker, but the cursor position is reset to the beginning of the string after each input.#


Does anyone have similar problems or a solution to this one?#

Try this:

Code: Select all

SetClassLong_(WindowID(), #CL_STYLE, #GCL_CS_DBLCLKS)
