A while back I encountered a problem with datagrids not correctly redrawing (its a long story). One of the LC team suggested this code (in the card script) to force a screen redraw:
command RedrawCard # forces a card redraw by the Engine set the backcolor of me to the backcolor of me end RedrawCard It fixed the problem that I was having. I agree with Richard that, in general, locking and unlocking the screen is the standard approach to forcing a screen update.
