not able to operate with the controls in the operator interface execution window

[Radhu]

Hi all,

I have sequence running in the operator interface which pops up a panel.It remains visible for some time and the value in a control of the panel is getting updated periodically .It is done using threads.After the panel pops up, until it goes off i am not able to operate with the controls in the operator interface execution window(terminate,abort,break).I changed the floating style of the panel as 'active when clicked on'.

Regards,

Radha R

Radha,

   If you post a snippet of your code, it would help us to help you.  My first guess to your problem is that you are in some kind of a loop while the panel is active and not processing the user interface events.  This can also happen if you have a long sequence of code that isn't neccessarily in a loop.  Try to insert a call to ProcessSysytemEvents() somewhere while your panel is up.

My second guess is that if you made the panel visible by an InstallPopup() call, then it has precedent.  No other panels created in that thread can be user-operated.
