Breakout - SM- workaround for screen flashing in 6.5.12

This is a one line breakout if the screen flash that occurs in 6.5.12 starts becoming annoying (only noticable if you have multiple tasks under a service job). There is one down side - if you resize the SM client window, you will end up with black lines over your scroll bars due to the redraw being turned off. Closing the Service manager client window and re-opening it fixes this and also keeps the new size you have chosen.

from Jiwa :-
JIWA - Service Manager - Maintenance
Record Menu - Utilities - Manage Breakouts

Left-Click "Job Read Completed" Breakout
add this one line at the top :-

Code: Select all

'Job Read Completed
'
FormObject.grdTasks.Redraw = False
End Sub


dont forget to leave the "End Sub" line at the end.
Click OK, Click Close, Close Service Manager and ReOpen Service Manager.

Now when you are typing into the 2nd tab (Job Description) you will notice that the one you are entering into still updates live as per 6.5.12 features, but the *other* task lines no longer flash
