Dynamic roTextWidget

Hi all, I am trying to display text in a roTextWidget that changes regularly, such as a countdown or a timer, but I'm finding that the text will sometimes disappear momentarily when I update the text. I'm currently doing this for the update: text.Clear() text.PushString(str) I'm aware that I could push all strings in advance and set the duration to display each string, but I need full control over when and how text changes. Same on both the HD1010 and HD210 with latest firmware. Any ideas? Regards, Earl

    You need to change the type of text widget you created. The standard widget assumes it's going to cycle through strings on a timer. You can create a second type of widget that changes immediately, assuming it's only going to hold one string at a time.

    CreateObject("roTextWidget",r, textLineCount, textMode, { TextMode: 2, Alignment: 2 })

    Text mode 2 is what you want.
