Wimp_RedrawWindow

(SWI &400C8)
Entry
R1 Pointer to block to containing window handle
Exit
- Exits through Wimp_GetRectangle

Use

The purpose of this call is to redraw parts of a window that needs updating.

Notes

This call is normally used after receiving a Redraw_Window_Request via Wimp_Poll.

This call must be the first Wimp operation after receiving a Redraw_Window_Request. This mans you cannot, for example, create or delete other windows until after the redraw is complete.

Windows in need of updating are divided into discrete rectangular areas, and thus many rectangles may need redrawing. To ensure all necessary rectangle are updated, this call is used as part of a loop with Wimp_GetRectangle.
