How do i refresh/redraw panel/window during a long time delay and switching between applications??

[rmoscoso]

While waiting for delay to finish, and another application comes into focus, my application window is not refreshed when I select it.  All i get is a blank panel until the time delay is complete...

TIA.

Hello TIA,

I assume you are using the Delay() function to do your time delay.  Instead, I would suggest using the Sleep() Windows SDK function, or implement your own delay function with a while loop and ProcessSystemEvents. 

Hope that helps.

delay function with a while loop and ProcessSystemEvents.  Worked, however the Sleep(); function did not (don't know if it is due to call of RunUserInterface();)

Thanks-
