In DBP you called CLS. I cant find anything similar in AGK.

I don't think there is a CLS equivalent in AppGameKit (although I could be wrong). To hide things you need to use the SetWhateverVisible() commands. If you're talking about clearing a print command then it's basically not calling that command when syncing. A small example.

+ Code Snippet

do
    if GetPointerState()
        print("Clicked or touching")
    endif

    sync()
loop

Thanks Hodgey. It is for a little program that uses 2d math functions to draw to the screen. It creates alot of sprites so i was hoping to have something that didnt need me to store every thing in an array to keep track of. I think your right I cant find anything even in the forum so it must be a case of loop through the array and delete as you go then update.

You're welcome Stormwire, HideAllSprites() and DeleteAllSprites() would be a few nice commands to have.
