*REFRESH (KEYIN and DISPLAY)

9.3A. ANSI

*REFRESH

 

This list control causes a Windows refresh/update to be executed for the Main Window. This control only affects a program executing under the Windows.

 

When the Windows Desktop is configured to use the ClearType method for smoothing fonts, it is possible that some of the line drawing graphical characters may be displayed horizontal with character separation. This gives a broken horizontal line appearance. For this scenario, the *REFRESH list control can be executed in a program to force a Main Window refresh that will make the horizontal lines appear as an unbroken line.
