Hi,
I am troubled with the header-line which is not redisplayed.
Isn't there any function equivalent to force-mode-line-update
for making the header-line get redisplayed? I found the strange
way shown below can be used for it:
(let ((window-min-height 1))
(shrink-window 1)
(enlarge-window 1))
However, it is not always effective to all platforms. Here is
an example:
;;--8<--------------cut here--------------start------------>8---
(defvar spinner-count 0)
(let* ((buffer (get-buffer-create "*testing*"))
(parts ["-" "\\" "|" "/"])
(timer (run-at-time
0.2 0.2
`(lambda nil
(save-excursion
(set-buffer ,buffer)
(let ((spinner (aref ,parts spinner-count)))
(setq header-line-format spinner
mode-line-buffer-identification spinner
spinner-count (if (>= spinner-count 3)
0
(1+ spinner-count)))
;; (let ((window-min-height 1))
;; (shrink-window 1)
;; (enlarge-window 1))
(force-mode-line-update)
(message "%d" spinner-count))))))
(pop-up-windows t)
pop-up-frames)
(display-buffer buffer)
(unwind-protect
(while (read-event))
(discard-input)
(cancel-timer timer)))
;;--8<--------------cut here--------------end-------------->8---
I have a plan to show some texts and a small animated gif images
in the header-line. :)
Thanks in advance for your help,
