Revisiting Lock Screen

[Craig Newman]

Bob.

I have no idea what you are facing with such a basic issue. To be sure, please, somewhere in the stack you are having the issue, make a button and a field and run this:

on mouseup

lock screen  —comment out for the first run

repeat 3

put random(999) into fld 1

wait 20

end repeat

end mouseup



Do you see the two scenarios above working normally? That is, with the lock screen disabled, you see three numbers in succession, and with it enabled, you only see the last one?

Okay so I turn it off, put the command “Lock Screen” at the entry point to a selectionChanged handler which goes on to do a number of things that change the appearance of the screen. The screen is decidedly NOT LOCKED! The things I go on to do are things like changing the hilitedItems of a tab widget which in turn shows and hides a number of objects, and also changes the selection in a number of datagrids. Every action that alters the screen is visible after I issue the Lock Screen command.
