can't clear text label's caption

Amsterdamned · August 06, 2009, 01:20:06 AM

funny enough i seem not to be able to clear the caption of a text label in my last project. I managed to do so in earlier projects. It overrides the text with the new one even if i set the caption to an empty string before i set it to the new string. What do i miss here??

you won't believe that! I compared with other projects and saw that the background colour was different. on -16 it works, on -24 it doesn't ???

I can't reproduce this in Vista/AutoCAD 2007. Can you upload a very simple project that demonstrates the problem, along with your system info?

It is the textlabel2 that acted that funny. I updated my profile with my systeminfo.

Bernd,

QuoteCan you upload a very simple project that demonstrates the problem ...

A lisp code to control it and demonstrate the problem would save Owen having to write one and also eliminate guessing ...

regards
Kerry

Thanks Kerry. I tested by manually changing captions in AutoCAD 2006 on XP using the mi.odcl that you attached, but I was not able to reproduce the problem.
