Card visibility vs render
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2013 8:42 pm
I am trying to render a card without it being visible/top most, and having some questions about the "go" command.
I have two cards, the splash screen and the application. The splash screen is simple, the application is visually complex and takes a few seconds to render (lots of create graphic commands). I want to render and show the card splash screen first and topmost at start, immediately render the application card invisibly/bottom most while the splash screen is on top, and only after the application card is finished rendering then get rid of the splash. I see no visible true/false setting for cards, so I deduce that they aren't being treated like objects.
Does the "go" command simply change the layer of the card, does it cause the card to render and become topmost?
Or is card rendering occurring at openStack regardless of the card being called?
How can I render a card without it being visible?
