Hi Guys
I am writing a script that takes a pre-made drawing and makes similar drawings for X configurations. I am having a problem with the shaded view though since it updates very poorly (linked picture). In this test I have ran through nine configurations and from the pic you can see that the previous configurations stick in the shaded view. I have been trying to fix this by setting the view to HLR and then shaded again to update the view but this doesn't really work. I am thinking that this is just a problem with the software/hardware and thus is unsolvable but I wanted to get a second opinion before I give up on the shaded view. The "workaround" code to fix the problem:
Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
' Rebuild shaded views, these doesn't update properly otherwise, still works pretty bad, needs work
If swView.GetDisplayMode2 = swSHADED Then
swView.SetDisplayMode3 False, swHIDDEN, False, True
'Sleep 1000
swView.SetDisplayMode3 False, swSHADED, False, False
'Sleep 1000
End If
As you can see I also tried to implement a waiting command for 1 second thinking that perhaps it changed to quickly for the software to catch on. Didn't do much good though.
Anyways always appreciate the help guys and have a good soon to be weekend
