- Sub: The "Textless" Dialog
-
- Hello,
-
- I am currently involved in writing my first MacApp program and so far things
- have been going very well. However, I am having a small problem that is
- proving to be difficult. If someone could shine some light on the subject, I
- could move on to more important things. So here is the problem:
-
- At vary points in my application host database calls are made. In order to
- inform the user as to what the application is doing, I put a modeless dailog in
- the middle of the screen with a text message in it. The problem is that
- although the dialog window appears, the text in the dialog does not appear in a
- timely fashion. I say "timely" because it appears that if the dialog is left
- on the screen long enough or another modal dialog is placed in front of the
- modeless dialog, the text will eventually appear. I have tried several things
- including (but not limited to) ForceRedraw, setting view enable, view focus,
- view shown. I was using paramTxt, changed it to SetText. Tried putting the
- static text directly in a View. Tried a couple shots at invalidRect, etc.
-
- Any more suggestions? Maybe a method call that doesn't return until the screen
- is fully updated? Please include my link address when responding, as I am not
- on MacApp.Tech$.
