Attribute Refreshes....

Hi Gang,
Here's what I've got. I've got a modeless dialog box (actually a properties
window) that updates values within blocks of AutoCAD. It works fine. I can
type in the value and the screen shows the new value (after I highlight the
screen). That last part is actually the catch. The attribute doesn't
refresh until I actually click on the document space. Everything has been
changed, just no refresh.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Nick

Environment: XP,VC6/sp5, ObjectARX 2002 but I'm writing for 2000i.

Unforunately, it still works the same. I actually have to click on the
drawng background for the update to take effect.

Thanks for the help Art,
Nick

Try doing this before calling acedUpdateDisplay():

CView* pView = acedGetAcadDwgView();
pView->PostMessage(WM_SETFOCUS, (WPARAM) GetActiveWindow(), 0);
pView->SetForegroundWindow();

Tony,
While better, this still doesn't give me the results I'm looking for. There
is still a delay (on my computer upwards of maybe 5 seconds) before the
screen refreshes. I also tried it with a sendmessage instead of a post
message. I figured, what the heck, I don't mind waiting for the display to
be updated.

I'm hoping to simulate the same thing as the text edit refresh type of
options. On my computer, the text refreshes as soon as I step off of the
properties line for "Text"

Thanks for the help.

Nick

You might also try:

actrTransactionManager->queueForGraphicsFlush();
actrTransactionManager->flushGraphics();
acedUpdateDisplay();
