Update Window statement - MapBasic - 2023

Purpose

Forces MapInfo Pro to process all pending changes to a window. You can issue this statement from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.

Syntax

Update Window window_id

window_id is an integer window identifier.

Description

The Update Window statement forces MapInfo Pro to process any pending window display changes.

Under some circumstances, window operations performed by a MapBasic application do not appear immediately. For example, if an application issues a Dialog statement immediately after modifying a Map window, the changes to the Map window may not appear until after the user dismisses the dialog box. To force MapInfo Pro to process pending display changes, use the Update Window statement.
