WD12 - Question about a running window

Hello to all

I have a little problem.

In a form i have a static control that show me the number of records the application is
checking in a routine.
All run fine, but if i leave for a while this window, opening another application, when i go back to this window, the static field is not refreshed and a "wait" pointer appears, showing only the last number of record examined..

Is there a way to solve this little issue and continue to show the number of records checked?

Hope to have explained well my needed.

Gianni

Hello,

maybe you should try winredraw when the window gets the focus.

Another solution (but more complex to implement is using Windows messaging within the application, so the window gets a message every time it should be refreshed.

Yes, he could refresh the window or just the static either using a timer or using the 'Got Focus' event of the window. Regards, Guenter

Hello

"Winredraw()" does not solve the problem, but "MultiTask()" does!!

Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

And don't forget... There's also MultiTaskRedraw() aside from MultiTask()...

Cheers,

Hi Peter

Thanks to you too!!
