Hello,
Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, neither of the two suggestions
works. Therefore, I'm going to include some more detail, and perhaps
somebody can point to what I am doing wrong
The problem arose when I tried to build a toolbar for tex-mode. So I
included the following line in my init file:
(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook 'bv-tex-mode)
where bv-tex-mode is the following function:
(defun bv-tex-mode ()
"hook for building TeX tool bar"
(interactive nil)
;; copy global tool-bar-map using copy-sequence
(let ((temp (copy-sequence tool-bar-map)))
(make-local-variable 'tool-bar-map)
(setq tool-bar-map temp)
)
(define-key global-map [tool-bar bvdotex] 'tex-file)
(tool-bar-local-item "tex" 'tex-file 'bvdotex tool-bar-map
:help "Process file with default tex command")
(define-key global-map [tool-bar bvpdfview] 'bv-pdf-view)
(tool-bar-local-item "pdf" 'bv-pdf-view 'bvpdfview tool-bar-map
:help "view pdf file")
(redraw-frame)
)
This version uses redraw-frame; but the result with force-mode-line-update
was the same. In effect, when I load a tex file I have to use several
clicks before the new icons appear.
