Thank you for your response.
There remains a problem. If you REM NoMainwin. The print txt$ in the GET DATA routine should print out the results to the mainwin. These continue to flash as the data is input into the grid (I reduced the number of rows/cols to 3/4 so not too much data) and to scroll. When all data is entered, the flashing and scrolling does not end until the top window is closed just leaving the mainwin. The data displayed is in excess of what should be seen and always seems to start with 24.
I'm scratching my head.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean; I don't see anything unexpected. As you're outputting a large number of lines (one for every cell in the grid) every 300 milliseconds or so, the mainwin is pretty much constantly scrolling. There's no 'flashing' as such (here) but the scrolling means nothing stays still long enough to read!
Did you perhaps mean to output the data in a grid on the mainwin, so that it never needs to scroll? You could do that as follows:
Code: '--------------------
' GET DATA FROM GRID
'--------------------
for row = 1 to maxRows
for col = 1 to maxCols
controlName$="#main.tb";row;"x";col
#controlName$ "!contents? txt$"
disp$(row,col) = txt$
locate 10*col,row
print txt$;
next col
next row
Richard.

Perhaps flash was not the correct description. As I said, I reduced the number of textboxes to a 3 row x 4 col grid. This was printed several times in mainwin.
I thought with the for..next loop in the GET DATA section, it would print out the data from 12 textboxes, starting with cell 1/1 through to cell 3/4. It prints it out several times, which accounts for the scrolling.
Thanks for the code for printing out in grid form.
At the end of the day, on LBB given the choice of this method or creating a grid as previous postings some time ago, I will stick with the latter. It is easier to create and edit and does all that I could ask for. Once again, I thank you for your help with that.
With regards to LB, I shall post the code I produced on the LB site, and hopefully someone there will come up with a solution for LB.
Richard, as usual, you come up with the goods!

I am still not really understanding. What difference did you expect reducing to "a 3 row x 4 col grid" to make? It's still outputting 12 lines every 300ms, that's more than 36 lines every second, which is far too fast for anybody to read and of course will mean it starts to scroll almost immediately!

Again you say "it prints out several times" as if this was a surprise. Did you not mean to put the printing routine in your TIMER handler? Having done so of course it prints out "several times": it prints out every 300ms!

But surely (until I modified it) your solution was for LB! I thought that was the whole point of you using the 'cundo' method of creating the boxes initially as separate windows.
Richard.

I thought I had put the print routine outside the timer handler. So this is where I went wrong.
Your final solution is for LBB only. So there code I had produced up to then I shall post on LB, because I don't have time to take it any further.
As I said in my last post, I'll use the textbox grid system developed some weeks ago for LBB. It would be nice though if someone on LB could produce the relevant code to let Cundo's methods be used on LB. I don't know when I will be able to get back to it.
