Screen Redraw Needed due to Screen Stamping

[shred444]

I am using a win32 function that allows me to create a parent-child relationship for popup windows.

This means i can put a window inside another window, similar to how excel works (Multi-Document-Interface)

When i do this, the inner child window gets screen stamped. The only way to fix it is to either minimize then expand again, or to click and drag the window down and out of view, then move it back up.

Has anyone come into a situation like this?

Has anyone forced windows to redraw a screen before?

I've attached a good and bad picture as well as the parent->child vi

window - parent_child.vi

I do pretty much the same as you in some applications, but I don't have the issue you're having. That said, try the RedrawWindow function. Also, have you thought about using subpanels?

If memory serves, setting the FP Window state to Minimized and then to Standard works, but it's been a while.
