WINDEV - Run procedure in the background

Hi,

I have a dashboard which takes a while to load in WINDEV.

How to let it run in the background and not affect user interacting with the application ?

I have try using ExecuteMainThreadAsynchronous() to load the dashboard but it didn't allow me to click on any of the application menu till the dashboard is loaded completely.

Regards,

PETER ZHOU

Hello Peter,

I don't have the answer, but may be the profiler can show you exactly where the delay is occurring. It may not be the dashboard itself but a procedure you are running to collect data for the dashboard.

If your data collection is in a loop, as AI above mentiones, then insert there within this loop the multitask funtion with a negative number e.g. "Multitask(-3)". this allows the system to accept other things. Slows down the buliding of your dashboard but is useful for your request.
