|
Syntax |
SUBROUTINE FREEZE_WINDOW_CONTENTS@( HWND ) |
|
Description |
HWND is the handle of the window obtained using %hw. Sometimes it is useful to freeze the visible contents of a window whilst a number of changes are made. This is particularly true when the window contains a frame with child sub-windows. By freezing a window, performing a sequence of changes, and unfreezing the window, the contents of the window will appear to change only once. This routine covers the window in question with another window containing a copy of the contents of initial window. Therefore it is important that the window is not moved whilst frozen and it should only be frozen for a very short period of time. |
