DISPEND()
Display buffered screen updates
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DISPEND() --> NIL
Returns
DISPEND() always returns NIL.
Description
DISPEND() is a screen function that informs the CA-Clipper display
output system that the application has finished performing a series of
display operations.
DISPEND() is used in concert with DISPBEGIN() so the display output
system can buffer display updates. This can be important for
applications in which complex screen displays are slow and the
appearance of performance is desired.
For more information, refer to DISPBEGIN()
Examples
. This example buffers screen output, updates the screen, then
displays the buffered screen output:
DISPBEGIN() // Start screen buffering
//
SETPOS(10, 10)
DISPOUT("A display update")
SETPOS(11, 10)
DISPOUT("Another display update")
//
DISPEND() // Display buffered screen data
