A boolean value that controls whether PowerBuilder redraws an object automatically after a change. Values are:

Return value
Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If redraw is null, SetRedraw returns null.
Usage
By default, PowerBuilder redraws a control after each change to properties that affect appearance. Use SetRedraw to turn off redrawing temporarily in order to avoid flicker and reduce redrawing time when you are making several changes to the properties of an object or control. If the window is not visible, SetRedraw fails.
PowerBuilder environment
Inherited from DragObject. For more details on use with PowerBuilder objects, see the section called “SetRedraw” in PowerScript Reference.
