Window Update

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/Window Update

I am very new to Blitz+, I have created a Window, with a bunch of Text Fields, Text Labels and Check Boxes. There are no Canvas'. One thing I noticed is that when I bring up the program, I can see the Window being built. Is there a way to prebuild my layout and then display it. Kinda like a "Form". The more Gadgets I add the more appearent it becomes.

I hope this makes sense.

Two possibilities....

1. Create your window off screen with a Y coordinate bigger then the height of your desktop. Then move it into place when your gadgets have been created.

2. Use hidegadget after opening your window. Build the rest of your gadgets then use showgadget.

Hope that helps.
