Hi,
I use a lua script which sets the position of a label on a form based on the position of the player in the game.
The problem is that the label isnt drawn accurately in the form.

I cant link the picture directly so here is a link:

The red square-label in the middle is the current position of the player.
When I walk around the position of the label is changed but there are always those small lines which stay there.
Its very hard for me to explain but I guess you see what I mean
Did I make any mistake or is there a solution? Or do I have to code the GUI in c++ for example to make this work?

Thanks for help

(Sorry if this is in the wrong sub forum. I wasnt sure whether this is more Lua or CE related)

are you sure it's a label and not a cancas you draw on?

anyhow, call formname.repaint() after a move

[Dark Byte]

are you using threads? If so, call the gui related code inside a synchronize(function)

calling gui controls from threads without sync will cause issues

Thanks again for your help !

It is working now.



edit:
I just leave this here in case somebody finds this and has the same problem...

So as I said my script changes the position of a label every few miliseconds in another thread. The strange thing was that first the label wasnt drawn accurate and i called form.repaint() to fix it which first seemed to work fine. But then I realized that the window freezed after a few seconds.
As DarkByte suggested I called synchronize(function) of the function which changes the label but it still didnt work and the window freezed.
After i deleted the "form.repaint()" somehow it works awesome.
I guess the first problem (that the label wasnt drawn accurate) was caused of a ciritcal read/write section which happens in multiple threads if you dont use synchronize.
I hope this helps somebody ... xD
