Hi Gene,

yepp, either be very serious about the counterparts, or just issue a thisform.lockscreen = 0 and don't give a shit about that counterparts; just flip it to OFF in any situation.

wOOdy

Oh, so the Lockscreen = .T. commands along a process path would accumulate and thus you'd need an equal number of offsetting Lockscreen = .F. commands to make things right? That might explain some weirdness I've seen over the years when I had set Lockscreen=.T. in Routine_A but then it called Routine_B which called Routine_C etc and some of those may have also have Lockscreen = .T. commands. I suppose the takeaway there is make sure you have the Lockscreen = .F. in the same routine as its counterpart?

Maybe it was, that Lockscreen also accepts a numeric 0 instead of .F. Every lockscreen = .t. increments an internal counter, and every lockscreen = .F. decrements it. Thus you really need to watch out to always have a balanced on/off couple count. You can override that with just setting that counter to 0, and don't care about "have I thought about every exit path in that module?" That undocumented(?) feature is helpful if you're doing a lot of subroutines but don't know if everyone is behaving correctly 😊

Hi Tracy,

No, that's not it. I use thisform.lockscreen now. It was something more "nifty" or "crafty" with his approach.

I don't have any issues really; was just trying to remember what was "cool" about his trick/tip that was better than Thisform.refresh. Just curiosity.

Thanks, --Mike
