Guys I am a new user to Xojo, I love this IDE, I value and appreciate how much effort and attention to detail has been put in to making the dev experience as simple and easy as possible but I am having an issue with being able to refresh / redraw controls and or the entire window. I have tried using timers and using methods (sub procedures ) I have tried of course the all the normal approaches as well such as control.refresh, me.refresh, window.refresh etc… but no luck I can not get the controls to refresh unless the code is completely finished executing. I understand that this software is very similar to how vb 6 was back in the day but even the app.doevents() isn’t getting the job done. I deeply deeply want to write my next project in this IDE but If am forced to use a bunch of timers and such just to get a few controls to update during code execution then this is one HUGE flaw in the IDE and would turn alot of people away. I do not want to see that happen to what I believe is the BEST IDE out there. Please help me understand how to update my controls IN THE MIDDLE OF CODE EXECUTION not when only completed. Thank you guys for any help and advice.
I am coding on a linux box building to a target of linux currently.
