Forcing redraw of a LC window

I remember some discussions here about screen refresh and how to force the redraw of a (possibly resized) LC window. I recently found a method that works all the time for me, even for cards that are 'overloaded' in some sense. I couldn't find it mentioned until now, so I should share it. I use it

Re: Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

Yet another option could be: [1] Shift each control down and right, so that the negative coords become non-negative and enlarge also the stack size so that the rectangle fits into the stack window (and hide img X) [2] Take your snapshot from the 'shifted' rect to img X. I use 'export snapshot from

Re: Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

Scott, I don't know of any way to designate multiple objects for one snapshot. Maybe instead of rearranging the objects then relayer etc. you could make multiple snapshots that you place relative to each other in a temporary (invisible) group and then snapshot the group? You could probably even u

Re: Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

Thanks for the idea Bernd. I'm trying to snapshot the card because I want to capture multiple objects/groups that are present in a designated rect, along with the card background pattern (where theRect includes negative values). export snapshot from rect theRect of this cd at size 120,120 to img

Re: Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

Scott, The important thing to recognize is that if you specify the rect in the snapshot command, you are essentially getting the data from the screenshot, but if you take a snapshot from a group, you get the data before it goes to the screen, where it exists in memory. I had a situation where

Re: Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

Hi Scott, what happens if you reference the object directly: on mouseUp export snapshot from field 1 of group 1 to tImg as png set the text of image 1 to tImg put the rect of field 1 of group 1 end mouseUp or on mouseUp import snapshot from field 1 of group 1 put the rect of fi

Card SnapShot from Negative Rect?

Anyone know how to snapshot a rect location of a card that includes negative values? In LC 7.1.3, I have an object in a group that's scrolled out of view, resulting in the object's rect having negative values. I want to snapshot the object, but I'm unable to snapshot any part of the card outside

Element as @ parameter (was Re: Cubist's first bug report)

I tried to make LiveCode crash fiddling with side-effects using this. So far, I have not been able to. As most of us have come to realize; there are some very smart people in Scotland. This is a very handy feature. I usually use a functional style (using lots of simple, pure functions) but

AW: LC 8 Random crash with QT set the filename of player on OS X

Hi Phil, AHHH! I have a 64 bit machine with OS X 10.11, but my LC program runs under 32 bit. Interesting to know. What does that QT note not now means? Has the user a choice or option, how his programs will be executed? Are there already machines or systems which don't support the 32 bit mode an
