<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have an FXText window which I would
like to force to be repainted immediately, not wait for the lazy re-paint.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have a call to repaint() for the FXText
window and for the FXApp. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The documentation for FXApp.repaint
says "Paint all windows marked for repainting. On return all
the applications windows have been painted". I take that to
mean (or hope that it means) that this a synchronous call, and your program
should wait for the repaint to complete. However that clearly is
not the case - the window gets repainted some considerable time later.
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There is no documentation of a repaint
method for FXText, nor for its parent FXScrollArea. FXScrollArea's
parent is Object, so I am not at all sure from which class FXText gets
a repaint method.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does anyone know do I force a (synchronous)
repaint?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Thanks.</font>
