A widget has an OnPaint event where you specify what should be drawn in the widgets rectangle. You draw lines, text, etc. using LCB drawing code. You only draw exactly what you need. This is much more efficient than the engine rendering a lot of field objects nested within multiple groups. -- Trevor DeVore _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
