    I have an annoying problem in a program I am writing. I open a 
dialogue box then close the box and immediately afterwards do some 
VDI drawing (automatically not by hand) onto screen. The problem is
that the closing of the AES dialogue box does not finish before the VDI
drawing begins and therefore the VDI drawing is also erased.
    I have tried putting a delay by evnt_timer and by a long for()
loop between closing the box and the VDI drawing. In each case the
closing of the AES dialogue box is also delayed and it still erases
the VDI drawing. Then I thought it might be my wind_updates but after
changing them it did not solve the problem either.
