Force Page1 redraw on Dialog close

[Automan]

As per subject heading.
Without using a timer on Page1 to check for a changed variable,
how do we force Page1 to refresh after a Dialog close ?

I don't want to hide Page1 on Dialog launch as the dialog is
designed to appear within Page1...

Onclose (page.redraw) - On dialog
Onshow(page.redraw) - On page1

These don't appear to help in this scenario.

I understand why, but is there a way around this ?

How about Application.SetRedraw(true)

Many thanks for reply telco, I thought that might work !
AMS however is spitting up errors unfortunately, attempting to
index nil values, global errors etc. Almost seems like a bug...
Lots of unhappy main chunk

I'm also thinking now, my original thought of putting a timer on page 1 may not work either, as timer most likely dies
when the dialog takes over.. Waiting for the choruses of why would you want to action an event on an
object when you cant see Page 1 (or it no longer has focus) but in this case you most definitely want
to see Page 1 and the dialog. I've successfully passed object variables to dialogs on launch,
(set the variable on transistion, then load variable on show) but it seems
going back the other way, the same rules don't work ?

Hi Automan ,
Not exactly sure what you are trying to do , as you have proovided NO CODE to check but
try this DialogsExample.apz

hi Automan
I have been using a simple "technique" to refresh a page when closing a Dialog. It works for me so I hope this helps. (See attachment)

Basically, when you click "Cancel" in the Dialog nothing happens, it just closes...but if you click "OK" then the Dialog closes and page "refresh".

My language is Spanish so most comments are in Spanish :/

Thanks guys.. but I don't think it covers exactly what I'm trying.
I created the 5 second example.
Main page launches dialog, a color needs to be selected on the dialog
graphic via hotspot.
Label1 on Page1 should be refreshed to show that selection.

All elements are required. Hotspots, dialog to be smaller than Page1,
Images.

Im doing some image mapping on the dialog and want result shown on Page1
via simple text label. I did not include all methods I have tried, To me
if I could simply refresh page1 after dialog close, it would all work as global
variable "color" would set label1.

Hope that helps

Try This
DialogLabel_Return_PageFixed.apz
Cheers

Done.
Nb.
Suggest you substitute your Label with a Paragraph, though - so it stays centered.

@charliechaps
Well, there's some synchronicity for ya' - same solution (almost) posted just 17 mins apart.
Great minds must think alike!

[Automan]

You guys are all the best !

I was determined to close dialog and send result back on close.
For some reason I was not focusing on requesting the string result on the
dialog initiation....

Special thanks for the apz's, BioHazard, CharlieChaps and Daviz !


Kicked my brain back on the right path.. lol..

I'll make sure to tell Dialogs in future to make sure they tell me
their variables onclose, at launch !

Herrin, the exe does not open:

Error: Could not find data file

Is there any way to check the apz?

application work fine
it was packed and evidently your antivirus recognizes it as a false positive ....
disable it temporarily

Hi Herrin,

Thanks for adding to this, I would have marked it solved with the previous answers, but wanted to see
what you attached, I just get an FLV file from that zip package. Is that what you intended ?
Many thanks
