how to force redraw?

[Wakalaka]

I have a timer in the plugin I'm developing in C# and can't figure out how to force a redraw. I have "bool b; render(out b);" but this doesn't work. Digging through MSDN help to figure it out, but so far am coming up empty.

or set needsrendering method the return true

Can you elaborate? I'm new to GB-PVR plugin development. My code has the following (I used the plugin example skeleton, stocks plugin, and weather plugin to get to the point I'm at now). I just need to force a redraw when my timer event occurs.

public bool needsRendering()
{
// TODO: Add needsRendering implementation
return false;
}

// TODO: Replace with your render implementation
public System.Drawing.Image render(out bool requiresMoreRendering)
{
requiresMoreRendering = false;

Set up some sort of update variable and have it set to false.

Code:

public bool needsRendering()
{
// TODO: Add needsRendering implementation
    if (updateScreen)
    {
         return true;
         updateScreen= false;
    }
    else
         return false;
    return updateScreen;
}

Then when you timer does it's thing set updateScreen to true. That will trigger needsrendering, then you can reset it back to false;

Or as part of NeedRendereing you can test the value of your timer against something rather than wait for the timer event to kick off (if that's what you are doing).
