Setting resizable to true causes flickering

[Mag]

I'm using this code (on OS X) to have the stack resizable when an option is activated:

Code: Select all

set the resizable of this stack to true

Unfortunately every time I switch from false to true I get a sort of flickering when the windows disappears for a moment, some of you LC gurus know how to avoid this?

Dunno.

Locking the screen does not help.

Thank you Craig, I will go with code in a "resize" button then...

Hi Mag,

here is a little stack that reduces the flicker to an occasional "blink"

It uses a substack to cover up the main stack while the mainstack is changed. To make it look like the mainstack it makes a screenshot first.

Have a look, all the code is in the button. It is more a test how one could "hack" this. The flicker I think is due to the fact that the system draws the little handle at the bottom right for resizing.

I don't know if it is worth going through this, but here it is:

Kind regards

Hi Mag,

I get it, you did not like the previous version and rightly so.

Here is an improved version which now handles if your stack has a title or more than one card.

Kind regards

Hi Bernd! Wow, very impressed about the technique you used, great work indeed! Thank you.

PS
Very nice (and useful) also the first stack.
