MiniWindow Refreshing

I've noticed miniwindows only seem to refresh when there is new text sent from a mud. Is there anyway to force a refresh?

See: http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/mw_intro.htm


Miniwindows are drawn in an off-screen buffer (bitmap), and then automatically copied to the main output window, whenever the output window is redrawn. This provides fast, flicker-free operation.


To cause that redraw to occur, call the Redraw function:

This is automatically called when new text arrives, as you noticed.

I think MUSHclient also remembers to refresh if you change the visible flag of the miniwindow through WindowShow("whatever", true)... or false for that matter.
