macro problem

[Case Aarts]

Hello

My macro sets a rectangular box to visible, then runs
through a number of instructions and then sets the
rectangular box to invisible. When running this macro on
single step it works perfect every time, but when running
on normal (after clicking "continue") the rectangular box
no longer appears. (all other instructions are excecuted
normally). What may cause that? I created this box in the
first place because the echo "off" did not result in the
macros execution being hidden, maybe those two things are
somehow connected?

Thanks for your help!

Case,

The application will give priority to which tasks it performs first,
according to some criteria or other. One possibility of what's
happening here could be that the screen update is being put at the end
of the task queue. You could try putting a RepaintObject action in the
macro immediately after the unhiding of the rectangle.
