I was using a bitmap for the background colour but whenever it was updated you would see the rollout back colour so I decide to use SetDialogBitmap instead. but now my label text appears garbled whenever it is changed. Anyway to fix this? Thanks.
rollout test "Image Button"
(
label Image_Name "" align:#left pos:[200,200]
timer clock "Move Timer" interval:1 active:true
local val = 100000000
on test open do
(
SetDialogBitmap test (bitmap 400 400 color:white)
)
on clock tick do
(
val = val +1111
Image_Name.text = val as string
)
)
createDialog test 400 400
Hi,
clearing the text in the image_name and then update with the new value will remove the garbled text.
Like this
Image_Name.text = “”
Image_Name.text = val as string

Thanks for your reply Akram. I already tried that but it causes the text to ‘flicker’ and is a bit anoying when the text is constantly being updated. I also noticed that SetDialogBitmap makes ‘redrawing’ the rollout a bit slower too. For example I have a bitmap that moves and when its moving it dissapears until the rollout has a chance to update the background and then the bitmap.
update bitmap on timer tick too I think it should work !

Thanks martroyx. Your example didn’t flicker but in my script the entire rollout and all its controls flicker. Oh well. I guess I won’t use SetDialogBitmap.
