Hello everyone
check the attached image - the first 3 fields are entries, and the next 3 are text.
The first three fields (when they get focus) blink and the next 3 also blink but a little less, I would say acceptable.
Is this happening only to me?
The “Standard Application Manifest” option is enabled in the Global Settings.
Checked on Clarion 9 and 11.1.13855
What technique are you using to provide the visual field highlights and 3D effect? i.e. what is causing the underlining of the selected field?
I’m not using anything, it is default Windows 11 “feature”.
As you can see on image below, on the Windows File Explorer is no flicker.
For testing, I created small app and checked “Standard Application Manifest” in the Global settings.
If I uncheck that, then dialog looks like in Windows 95.
Here you can see that it’s the same on Clarion IDE. Am I the only one who has this “feature”?
No flicker here. Not within the Clarion IDE and not within my apps.
Using Win11 24H2.

It’s very frustrating.
Now I’m using
| Edition | Windows 11 Pro |
|---|---|
| Version | 24H2 |
| OS build | 26100.2894 |
| Experience | Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0 |
on my new AMD PC with AMD integrated graphic card and before that, I had Windows 10 (latest upgrade) with Nvidia (some 8 GB model) and I saw 100% same flicker there.
Same is only monitor (Dell U2713HM).
Looks like it’s only me 
OK found the reason.
Win + R and then SystemPropertiesAdvanced
On opened dialog Tab Advanced, then Settings
“Animate controls…”
when unchecked, entries are working normal
I know you found a fix…
It would be helpful to see the Code from the that Test Window declaration. At least the WINDOW, one ENTRY and one TEXT control. I’m curious if it had TRN. If Yes did removing TRN affect the flicker with Animation enabled. In that past I have seen some flicker due to TRN.
No TRN. I also tested with TIMER, AUTODISPLAY and IMMEDIATE.
It blinks every time until I turned off the Animate option.
In addition to my window, Clarion IDE does the same.
Window WINDOW('Caption'),AT(,,279,219),FONT('Segoe UI',9),CENTER,GRAY,SYSTEM
BUTTON('Run MyProc'),AT(225,203),USE(?BUTTON1)
ENTRY(@s20),AT(22,29,234),USE(dummy)
ENTRY(@s20),AT(22,46,234),USE(dummy,,?dummy:2)
ENTRY(@s20),AT(22,63,234),USE(dummy,,?dummy:3)
TEXT,AT(22,112,233,11),USE(?TEXT1)
TEXT,AT(23,129,233,11),USE(?TEXT1:3)
TEXT,AT(23,146,233,11),USE(?TEXT1:2)
