      Hi everyone,
      I have created few windows (2-3 windows) containing list box in each one. When navigation from one to another(deleting one and drawing the other). The screen flickers.
      Please let me know a solution to this problem.

      Attached files are the LCD config and GUI config files.

      Thankyou

      regards

    • Hi,

      Try using a driver version with a cache. With a cache all drawing operations are performed into the cache before beeing displayed on the LCD.

      Call

      GUIDRV_FlexColor_SetFunc(pDevice, &PortAPI, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_F66709, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_M16C1B8);

      instead of

      GUIDRV_FlexColor_SetFunc(pDevice, &PortAPI, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_F66709, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_M16C0B8);


      in your LCDConf.c.



      Please note that this requires additional memory which gets allocated from the GUI memory assigned to emWin by calling GUI_ALLOC_AssignMemory().
      In your case this would be additional 40960 bytes (128p * 160p * 2 bytes per pixel).

      Regards,
      Sven

    • Hi, Sven


      Thankyou for the solution provided.


      But as i am using a low memory device, I do not have that much space remaining.

      Is there any other solution or work arround for the flickering problem.


      Thankyou

    • Hi,

      Unfortunately, wihtout some sort of buffer to write into before sending the data to the LCD it won't be possible to avoid flickering effects.

      5k of RAM is very little memory, we recommend at least 6.6k of RAM for a window manager application (it might work with less, but you shouldn't expect too much).

      If possible, you might try to write your application without the window manager. This way you will have full controll over the drawing operations and choose on your own when what part gets displayed.

      Regards,
      Sven
