Updating images

[scb147]

OK... If I currently have a UiScreen displaying, I can display a title and image using (pseudo):

Code:

screenHT["@title"] = "My Title";
screenHT["@image"] = myImage;
screenUI.Args = screenHT;

Now, when I update the title/image on the screen, by button press or whatever, the title is getting updated, but the image is not. If I update for a third time, title gets updated and the image gets updated to the image I sent on the second update.

I'm just wondering if there is something I am not doing right for images. I've verified I am sending the updated image to the hashtable for the screen and updating it. I just can't seem to get the screen to update with that image.

That snippet of code is correct. I'm pretty sure it's something you're doing wrong though. If any part of your static has been updated (title), then it definitiely redrawing the whole static, using the parameters you supplied - ie, it cant be getting an old image from somewhere else.

My animation isn't working either... so I'm not sure what the problem is...

sub,
Once I forced the title to update with my animation, I get the animation of the image as well.

What triggers "NeedsRendering" for an image change on the UiStatic element? Is there a possible problem there?

actually, it's still not updating right... the image is still behind the title... grrrr

I dont really have enough information to go on. You might need to send me your code to take a look at.

That would be great if you wouldn't mind... do you want the entire solution?

The application continually calls NeedsRendering() on the active plugin. You'd typically then call NeedsRendering() on any controls your plugin shows. ie, the application doesnt directly call NeedRendering() on your UiStatic - you need to do that yourself.

That would be easiest.

I emailed it to you... don't judge my coding abilities (or lack thereof)

EDIT: the email bounced back... I guess you have a new email address?
