text looks weird after lockscreen??

[thatguy]

Hey all..

weird thing here -- anyone else experience it? in VFP6.0, i have about 21 labels in a column on the right edge of the screen. when i lockscreen and then unlock it, the labels seem to be repainted a pixel or so off to the side from the original spot, plus the text is still in its original spot from before the lockscreen... so the labels end up looking extra bold and very messy. is this a repaint bug? has anyone noticed something like this?

thanks!

I only know of thi problem when an olebound control is on the form.

If so, the trick is to make it invisible and visible to force a repaint.

BTW does an extra refresh of the form help, after you used lockscreen ?

I was refreshing before the lockscreen = .f., but i moved it after and still the same thing happens. <shrug> there aren't any olebound controls.. just text boxes and comboboxes. should i just not use lockscreen? any other suggestions?

thanks
